"Simoncino is back again on SKYLAX with the volume 2 of the Resurrection series ! The made in Perugia prodigy delivers us once again 3 titles paying homage to the sound of chicago, the fabulous triplet lost tape 1, 2 & 3. On A1, the aptly named Lost tape 1 us leads into the meanders of the jungle house in direct tribute to the great marshall Jefferson all sprinkled with some "detroit" sauce, this peaktime track will delight the most humid and demanding dancefloors. Lost tape 2 is more airy with these sparkling bells and its bass that lifts your guts, mental we tell you ! A bit as if paris gray was remixed in a hovering dub version. On lost tape 3, it is clearly the quintessence of the spirit of simoncino, his genius. This way of creating a universe that is both a tribute to the original chicago house and the italian dream house straight from the 90s. Completely trippy. And cherry on the cake on B2, we have a remix of the now classic "on the dancefloor", a title created in collaboration with Merwyn Sanders from Virgo Four (Chicago), from Detroit legend : Marcellus Pittmann ! 9 mn of pure madness. The Detroit - Chicago axis has never been so obvious. A must. Comes out on clear vinyl. Note that on the label's bandcamp, with the purchase of the vinyl, you can get 1 exclusive bonus track (& what a track !) : Simoncino & Merwyn Sanders of Virgo Four "On The Dance Floor" (Marcellus Pittman smooth remix)." 

"French label Skylax has always dealt in prop quality, no-frills, fad-free house music from a diverse array of artists. Italian Simoncino is someone with a proud throwback sound - his house is coated in dust, with dreamy Italian house melodies and a warm, fuzzy, glowing sense of nostalgia. And that's what we get here across three new cuts which range from the thumping tribal sounds of the opener to the super deep and vocal cut 'The Lost Tape II' via the hands-in-the-air piano house joy of 'The Lost Tape III.' A brilliantly low-slung, fizzing and raw remix from the one and only Marcellus Pittman remix makes this a timeless collection." Juno Records

SKYLAX 154 - B1.Simoncino "The Lost Tape III"

HOT RELEASE ALERT! Joe Lewandowski (SXDNS347/FREEDL044 & 053) is back on the mighty Paris-based outlet SKYLAX. After his well-received “Here I Am” made in collaboration with French singer STOLT and German virtuoso Lauer, the super fresh “Blues Dream” EP comes packed with two stunning originals and a fangy remix made with love by Mexican wizard Mufti. In “Lighter Baby”, the opening track, STOLT jumps in with his magic voice once again. These two, playing live, would be a hell of a show, wouldn’t they?

With previous works published on cool labels such as Amsem, Rituel, Nothing Is Real, and SKYLAX itself, Joe is on his steady way to stardom. His impeccable technique, both performing and producing, has turned him into one of the acts to watch for the last couple of years.

The tune we chose to review/premiere is one of these themes in which Joe managed to bring together his most crystal-clear influences. New Wave, Italo, and Rock stroll hand in hand in a plethora of his endeavours resulting in a trademark sonority, and in “Lino Disko” the magic formula is flawlessly executed. The bouncing bassline and the trippy guitar riffs cannot go unmentioned – they are definitely the most beautiful elements of the track.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://skylaxrecords.bandcamp.com/

Glazart - Hardrock Striker (08.07.23)

Here's the second installment from the Floorfillers !

After the success of « Sting The Floor », they return with the brilliant « Love is growing ». Once again bangers between disco filtered early french touch, daft punk meets mr oizo. Indeed, they have devoted a cult since their earliest childhood to Crydamoure, Roulé, DJ Sneak, Paul Johnson and all the 90s french touch, their sound is incredibly rudimentary and at the same time so close to the ideals of house music which have disappeared from radar screens for at least the last 5 years (thanks to these IG's DJs  a$$holes), they are the next generation, they are the hope. All may not be dead. This new 12 inch somehow embodies a spirit of resistance. Future Classic.

PREMIERE: Floorfillers - Love is Growing

Serie noire is a brand new skylax records sub-label dedicated to what can be so called indie dance, dark disco & italo-disco, genre that we have promoted & pioneered for years. In this first part, you will be able to find the explosive “free gluten” signed david body, the very mental “waves” by facets, the fabulous neurotiker “bdsm” which reminds us of the best of viewlexx and on the B side our national Signal ST, with a title dedicated in tribute to our label, an improbable collision of house music & new order (our lifelong love) and to close it all Silicodisco with “Mirror constellation”, an incredible Spanish producer who reminds us at times waxtrax but also the sepulchral atmospheres of the cure's disintegration.

Vinyl Only 🤌🏻

PREMIERE: Facets - Waves

DJ tsygan is a Parisian maestro of music, a proud member of the prestigious Skylax crew. His talent first shone bright under the enigmatic alias Clap42, and he garnered well-deserved attention for his remarkable collaborations with the elusive and exclusive label, Community Center. Having graced our stage countless times, DJ tsygan fine-tuned his sonic wizardry, skillfully weaving together elements from the hallowed halls of Italo to the vibrant streets of Chicago. We'd dare say he's graduated with honors from our sonic academy! The result? The mesmerizing "Purple Dreams," a symphony of sound crafted with the precision of a master goldsmith, a track that even the legendary Franckie Knuckles would have embraced without hesitation. And then there's "Oh no," with its sultry Latin vibes, and the brilliant "Back in Europe," a tune that conjures memories of the iconic Jacno. It's crystal clear that DJ tsygan has reached a state of sonic maturity that's truly remarkable. The titles themselves are nothing short of splendid, and they're complemented by two top-tier remixes. One, courtesy of Apollon Telefax (formerly of the illustrious Arash & Quasar group - who also had their moment in the Skylax spotlight via the Mellah sub-label), accentuates the Italo side of "Purple Dreams." And let's not forget the magnificent touch of Antoni Maiovvi (be sure to keep an eye out for his upcoming release on Cosmic Club) on "Oh no." It's nothing short of a musical masterpiece, a true masterstroke.
