What better way to revisit the golden age of '80s action cinema that today could inspire remakes of classics like Cobra, Commando or Beverly Hills Cop than Ilya Santana's B Movie 1984! Taking in night driving titles like "Chase On Ocean Drive" to this album's kick starter, "Undercover Girl", here's an album that does away with any bells, whistles and effects by keeping it John Carpenter style with a touch of Gallo Italo through some inspired renditions of what made movies back then so good, product placement or not. Freezeframe!

Mad mountain (Ilya Santana cosmic bass edit)

For his second release on the imprint, Panthera combines his cosmic musical power with the incredible voice of singer Go Sonny.

The collaboration between the charismatic Go Sonny and the daring Panthera is an epic sonic journey, where the astral meets the explosive. Go Sonny's captivating voice blends seamlessly with Panthera's futuristic and hypnotic rhythms.

Together, they create an electrifying and cosmic atmosphere, propelling the listener into an intergalactic dance. A true whirlwind of energy and depth. An unforgettable musical odyssey.

Endrik Schroeder once again demonstrates the extent of a perfectly tamed eclecticism, delivering a techno-break remix of rare finesse. Driven by a striking melancholy, this remix infuses the release with an emotional depth that is both poignant and luminous. A future late-night anthem, etched in memories to the rhythm of the first rays of dawn.

BONUS TRACK (ONLY ON BANDCAMP) : As the most beautiful tribute that Panthera could make to Kraftwerk, "Amarea" unfolds a slow and captivating atmosphere, where elements seem to float in a suspended space. Carried by ethereal layers and textured analog synthesis, the track evokes the soundscapes of 70s SCI-FI films, somewhere between cosmic mystery and futuristic melancholy. Perfect music for a contemplative interlude or a gradual build-up at the beginning of the night.

Panthera - Amarea [Mélopée Records]

Miss Zagato joins forces with Dog.ma for a journey of sonic awakening. Pineal glands activated, televisions discarded. Their vision rejects the daily matrix, sidestepping systems of control and illusion. The result is a red-pill soundtrack wrapped in evergreen style, equally at home on the dance floor or in deep inner space.

Serbian DJ Caligari, of Lametta Records, delivers a galactic Italo Disco rework. Armonia del Sonido’s emesh contributes a singular, ritualistic remix that guides the listener through the forest of awakening.

Born in the South and based in the North, Gus is a British producer who makes music that sounds Italian. If that's not confusing, he also makes Detroit-influenced Techno as Emotive Systems.

Confusion aside, his productions and DJ sets are approachable, fun, and, most importantly, danceable. Good energy music that doesn't take itself too seriously, just like Gus.

Be sure to check out his latest release on Bordello!

N. Ireland's finest/resident @Doc75s returned to Spin City on 10.9.25 with guest and Bandolier Records boss, @chewy-rubs. This show is destined to be a funky chunky good time with these two pros at the controls.

ABOUT CHEWY RUBS
Chewy Rubs, known to his mom as Tom grew up immersed in an eclectic mix of music. He learned to mix rather than learning to drive, wisely buying his first 1200’s instead of a car. He passed his test with flying colors and first graced the wheels of steel in his hometown of Hereford at the legendary Naughty But Nice during the mid-nineties.

Having moved to Glasgow and then onto London he continued his musical education in breaks and Hip Hop listening to the The Operators and by working in a central London vinyl emporium where the endless supply of fresh vinyl, back catalogues and  encircled by renowned shops like fat Cat, Black Market, Sista Ray & Phonica meant he could continuously indulge his passion for rare, limited edition & imported wax.

Production was a natural next step & after mastering Ableton & with the help of Soundcloud, his influences gelled into the Chewy Rubs sound. A steady tranche of killer edits followed w/ support from Greg Wilson, Tiger & Woods, Derek Kaye, Danny Krivit, Fingerman & Yam Who? along w/ a growing fan base of global disco lovers across social media.
Chewy Rubs continues to deliver a steady stream of new edits on key labels like Hot Digits, Midnight Riot Records & Seamus Haji's Re-Loved

[SPC178] DONT TELL RUDY - Changes

This is a little tribute to the unique and magic musical world of my brother from another mother, Mr. Ilya Santana. 
A true 'Maestro' of this game, and honcho of Astrolead Recordings, in my opinion, one of the BIG 'Under The Radar' gem imprints of the underground retro electronic disco influenced scene.
Music made 100% by him in our beautiful homeland, the Canary Islands.
This uber talented artist I can call one of my best and oldest friend starting this cosmic trip almost when we were very very young evidently deserves much more focus due to his endless impulse to push the limits of quality beyond the Tannhäuser Gate, far away from this planet.
🔥
Hope this mixtape help a little bit to more and more people can discover his project.
Enjoy the music of this guy...trust me (it's really super!!!!)
Discover the power and world class of the Electronic Music made in Canarias.
😎

Biography:

Ilya Santana is a name that echoes through the shimmering corridors of electronic music, particularly in the realms of space disco and cosmic funk. Born and raised in the Canary Islands, a place where the Atlantic meets the dust of Africa, Santana found himself drawn to the edges of sound early on—edges where melody could float, and rhythm didn’t have to march. He came up through the analog warmth of the ‘70s and the cold seduction of the ‘80s, and somehow fused both into his own kind of future nostalgia.

His career took root in the early 2000s, not through grand gestures but through consistency—a steady stream of releases that wound their way through labels like Balearic stalwarts Eskimo Recordings and Nang. Each track, a kind of ode to neon dreams and late-night drives, became a testament to Santana’s gift for atmosphere: his music doesn’t just play, it inhabits. There’s a cinematic quality to his work, like he’s scoring the movie of a life that’s never quite real but always feels familiar.

Ilya’s sound is less about chart-topping bravado and more about evocation. It lingers. It hums beneath the surface of memory. Through remix work, original compositions, and DJ sets that feel like journeys, Santana has shaped a career that’s both low-key and influential—an underground luminary lighting the way for those who understand that some of the best music doesn’t demand attention, it earns it.

Ilya is running his own record label "Astrolead recordings" specialized on the most underground side of Disco, Space/Cosmic disco, Retro and Synthwave.
Also started duties as a sound designer crafting sample/loops packages for "Loopmasters"
