La Danse #2 is the second digital compilation of a series from international talented producers we support and love. Following our heart and taste for mixed influences and creed, La Danse is a tribute
to the dance floor mixing together organic works in order to bring new energy in clubs. We hope this second volume will bring back our dance floors to life. 

From la Danza de los Voladores during Mesoamerican rituals to the Maenads in Greek mythology, dancing is part of social life from the outset, and will always be.Because dancing frees body and mind - because club culture is essential - this compilation series preaches for an uninhibited and uncontrolled dance. There is only one motto « dance or get lost! »

Aruna Sairam - Mahishasura Mardhini (Disco Morato edit) #47 - Free download

Artist: @omarjoesoef-1
Release date: June 10th
Vinyl + Digital
Artwork: Léo Marsal

Morning World track is a reading of a Java old story about a mythical creature called Gatot Kaca. Searching old records in his storage room, Omar accidentally found somewhat of a scripture in ancient Javanese. The meaning of it came from his family. The script was released by Kraton, an ancient Javanese royal palace, and was passed down on Omar's mother's side of the family. The story is a simplified folklore called Wayang, a traditional form of puppet theatre play from Java island.

Omar Joesoef - Morning World

Exclusive: Omar Joesoef - Chants Of Gorontalo (Cosmo Vitelli What Was The Question Again Remix)

Hard Fist's next release explores the chants and rituals of one of the world's last tribes living or holding on to ancient occurrences. Therefore Indonasian artist Omar Joesoef digged deep into the archieves of abandoned radio station on Java island to come up with samples of old recordings of the tribe. Unsurprisingly Joesoef names the EP's opening track, Chants of Gorontalo, after an Indonesian province on Sulawesi island, where the Dayak tribes lives and practices the ancient and traditional way of living. Aside from three more orginal tracks, namely Morning World, It's the Heat in the Room and a digital bonus track, Joesoef's Rituals of Gorontalo EP is provided with two remixes. While Jonathan Kusumu reworks It's the Heat in the Room, French hyper-spacey artist Cosmo Vitelli takes on remix duties for Chants of Gorontalo and turns it into a futuristic out of space tune that's implementation of racecar sounds, space-filling soundscapes whirl around and stir up elements from the original. However, it's the pads and synth-sequences in the second part of the eight minute lasting journey that serves as a counterpart to the spiritual didgeridoo-like sounds that accompany the listener from start to the very end.

Omar Joesoef's Rituals of Gorontalo will be released on Hard Fist June 10th, 2021.

Born and raised in Indonesia, Omar Joesoef built this EP with samples of old records of ethnic music that he has found in an abandoned radio station on Java island. Named Lokananta, it is one of the first radios setting up in Indonesia in the 50’s. The recordings in Omar’s EP come from rituals and meditative chants of one of the last tribes still living in the ancient way, completely disconnected from the modern world.

Chants of Gorontalo opening track is named after a province of Indonesia located on the island of Sulawesi. Over there lives the Dayak tribe who still follows its ancient traditional way of life. They practice rituals to communicate with their ancestors using chants and meditation. This first track is about a prayer for harvests, fertility and prosperity. Dayak is a very intimate and enclosed tribe, keeping themselves away from modern society. These recordings of them singing found by Omar in Lokananta radio station are very rare and special. Lokananta is also the first record label of Indonesia, releasing recordings of wayang performances, speeches, Javanese orchestra. It is a great source of inspiration for Joesoef’s work.

Morning World track is a reading of a Java old story about a mythical creature called Gatot Kaca. Searching old records in his storage room, Omar accidentally found somewhat of a scripture in ancient Javanese. The meaning of it came from his family. The script was released by Kraton, an ancient Javanese royal palace, and was passed down on Omar's mother's side of the family. The story is a simplified folklore called Wayang, a traditional form of puppet theatre play from Java island. Omar found a Latin version of the script and asked his friend Sascha Alatas to read it in the way he used to hear it at Wayang plays when he was a kid. To complete the track, Omar made some minor manipulations of the voice and added a few samples of Lokananta records such as bird sounds and environmental soundscape. 

“It’s the Heat in the Room” track conveys a strong and powerful energy with consistent heavy bassline, snappy snare, groovy percussion ensemble and vocal samples of the Dayak tribe. The song emulates the adrenalin rush one might feel in the middle of a night hunt. Some of the sounds chosen reminds of the echoes that may be experienced in a dark cave when a single stone breaks on the floor.

Chants Of Gorontalo

PREMIERE: Omar Joesoef - Chants Of Gorontalo [Hard Fist]

We are launching a new serie of edits: the RePhrase Collection - free download

For the first one, we are very proud to introduce this track by Romain FX - the first one of many to come <3

For the occasion, we asked Romain FX 5 (hard) questions:

HF: How did you find this track, any particular reason why you chose this one to edit?
Romain: I found this track in a jazz specialised record shop in Hong Kong with a bunch of other middle eastern influenced records, it couldn’t have been more random to be honest but that’s the beauty of digging for records.
I’ve tried playing it out but i felt it was just missing a little push to make it a bit nastier, to make people go nuts on the dancefloor, so a couple of weird samples, an acid bassline & some touch up later... it became mayhem material (I think).

HF: What would you do if you weren’t making music?
Romain: In my coffin sleeping for eternity.

HF: Any favourite place in town?
Romain: Toilets are my favourite place they are the only place where you can truly be yourself and alone. I came up with my beat ideas taking a dump... everybody knows that but nobody wants to admit it.

HF: What is your favourite saying?
Romain: “Common sense is not that common”

HF: Do you fear karma?
Romain: I live by it, so I don’t fear it.
“You reap what you sow” is another good expression

Sons Of Abudhabi - Sheik Ahmed AlJafar(RFX Dark Edit) #1 - Free download

HRDF: How did you find this track, any particular reason why you chose this one to edit?
Feller: The original track is Patrick Moraz - The Story of I. I fount it after a gig at Le Sucre, Lyon when I went to do some digging in a small record store. I'm very attracted to the integration of organic sounds in electronic music and if it comes from the seventies well... bingo!!
In a very karmic way, in that same store I also met the Hard Fist guys, who actually brought me to play there. So boom!  It's karma!
P.S: The vocal is part of a poetry of Gabrielly Nunes that my good friend Avishay Dekel has sent me to inspire me.
  
HRDF: What would you do if you weren’t making music?
Feller: Circus and theater arts.

HRDF: Any favourite place in town?
Feller: Mazkeka מזקקה مزكيكا - Jerusalem and Anna Loulou - in Tel Aviv

HRDF: What is your favourite saying?
Feller: D'ont be afraid, you're already dead.

HRDF: Do you fear karma?
Feller: I love karma.

HRDF: How did you find this track, any particular reason why you chose this one to edit?
ZOMBIES IN MIAMI: Well... I (Cani) found it long time ago, it was around 98 with my cousin Carlos in Mexico. It's one of my favs... I was trying to do my first edit with a Mano Negra song. Here is the result.

HRDF: What would you do if you weren’t making music?
ZOMBIES IN MIAMI: (Jenouise) I could be involved in administration or something in a office. (Cani) Would be awesome to be a professional golfer haha. 

HRDF: Any favourite place in town?
ZOMBIES IN MIAMI: Our favorite place in town is our home. The most pacific place in town with our happy cat Frodo.

HRDF: What is your favourite saying?
ZOMBIES IN MIAMI: It's Animo! (Spanish). It means like Let’s go! Or to be positive always.

HRDF: Do you fear karma?

Co-founder of the Palestinian "Arabs Do It Better" collective, artistic director of the late Anna Loulou Bar in Jaffa, Marwan Hawash is a prolific Dj and a militant for freedom and love on the dancefloor. Regular of slow psychedelic grooves, for his very first edit, he takes the opposite side and proposes a very clubby version of this rare disco rock classic by the french duo Orient Express. 
Hard Fist is proud to release the first track of this talented artist and very good friend of the collective.

The latest installment on Roam Recordings comes from Mexican artist Theus Mago (aka Bufi). After a slew of astonishing releases on on seminal labels Correspondent, Turbo, Kill The DJ, La Dame Noir, and DURO Theus Mago brings his characteristic excellent production to Roam with a psychedelic dance floor banger known as the Erotic Polymorphic Experience.

The EP features three top remixes from the likes of Brioski, Jamie Paton, and Cabizbajo. Jamie Paton is up first bringing a grinding version with spattering vocals and snare treatments that make this remix move. Brioski is up next with a blissfully dark and heady version that creeps and crawls around a hypnotic soundscape. Cabizbajo brings the tempo back up to round out the EP with a driving rhythm and bass underpinning the decedent vocal from the original.

With four well crafted and diverse mixes the Erotic Polymorphic Experience is fine way to kick of the new year.

Erotic Polymorphic Experience (Brioski Remix)

Emerging label @Unterman looks to introduce the best-emerging artists in Tel Aviv. The latest discovery by label founders – brother and sister Middle Sky Moon and Cookie Moon – is a 22-year-old producer, writer and composer Coobe @cuba-596964817, a resident of the Alphabet club and one of the city's most promising new faces behind the decks. Growing up in the revitalised electronic scene of the city, Coobe is an obsessive music collector at heart, his crave for new sounds and challenges shining through every word he speaks.

This  EP from Coobe titled “Caravan Sessions”includes 3 original tracks as well as an exciting remix by @Brioski. The production meanders from dreamy soundscapes to party starting synth goodness – a neat combo of exotic beats, groovy bass-lines and deadpan Hebrew vocals which provide a great snapshot of what’s currently bubbling up in the basements of Tel Aviv.

PREMIERE – Coobe – Dreams (Brioski Remix) (Unterman)

From the wild streets of Guadalajara directly to your ears a new reference of Playground Records has arrived. In this opportunity the master of ceremony will be Die Jungle with an Ep which includes 3 original productions plus a groovy re-interpretation of the whole release by the great Scottish MR TC.
The journey begins with ‘Luz y Dos’. Sweeps, brakes and weird modulations fights against human sighs. The mothership is ready to take off. A deep dark bassline takes the control. The modulations go further until we dive into a trance. The mystery flood the track. Voices cry out for freedom from the dungeons but the bass is back and this not gonna happen. The track which gives its name to the Ep is ‘Pandora’. A powerful bass invasion embraced by celestial pads. The sequence turns into a sticky leitmotiv. Voices from far away call you to the dancefloor. Acid touches says the time is now. Hard times requiere furious dancing. ‘Saudae’ is the last original mix of this launch. This time the groovy bassline is surrounded by organic percussion which brings some fresh air to this mystical trip. Anyway the madness say hi with crazy modulations. The jungle captures us. Now we dance lost in a wet and warm joy. MR TC jumps into the scene making a very special re-interpretation of this release. A “Combinado Mix” as he calls it. A complex mixture of all tracks in this Ep arrives to end the ride full of hope and light. A sunny track ready for the summer.

Snippets : Strapontin - The End of Logic

Creative offspring of the musical fantasies of @Tushen_Rai and @CorneliusDoctor, Hard Fist brings together a passionate, supportive and activist party scene. Celebrating a globalized - but far from rootless - dancefloor where Turkish psychedelia, Lithuanian cold wave, Central African percussion and Indonesian polyphonic chants blend, Hard Fist crosses time and borders with a singular attachment to the folk music of trance, the kind that marks spiritual gatherings and festive rituals. Shaping the technological meeting of man and machine, the Hard Fist sound brings the experience as much on the dancefloor as in the calm of a Bedouin tent, always off the beaten track, with a free heart and clenched fists.

The label has been releasing collective records with artists such as Bawrut, Balam, A-Tweed, Omri Smadar, Matias Aguayo, Fantastic Twins, Philou Louzolo, Deena Abdelwahed, Curses, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Martin Noise, J.A.K.A.M., Omar Joesoef, MR TC, Pletnev, Anastasia Zems, John Parsey, Errortica, The Juan MacLean, Khidja, Roe Deers, Cosmo Vitelli, Ground, Sascha Funke, Fargo Devianti & Vongold, Daniel Monaco, Fringe Society, Elfenberg, Timothy Clerkin, A-Tweed, Ko Shin Moon, Lokier, Pletnev, nICo, Strapontin, Simple Symmetry, Que Sakamoto, Kubebe, Jonathan Kusum, Kaan Duzarat, Los Ninos Del Parque, Feller, Mekine U Teksi, Bab, Linja, Lion's Drum, Mishell, Ayma, Kincaid, Balam, Juan To Tree, Mytron & Ofofo, Niv Ast, Damon Jee, Thomass Jackson, Rina, Fabio Me Llaman Soltero, Hipless, N.O.Y, Oded Gafni, Radial Gaze, Fabio Fabio, Omar Joesoef, Da Iguana, Neskeh, Warum and all artists that collaborated to our edit series Re-Phrase Collection...
