Shifting Gears aka Hoshina Anniversary readies ‘Drum Nation’ for toucan sounds this January.

Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, Hoshina Anniversary has previously appeared on ESP Institute, Musar Recordings, and Young Marco’s Safe Trip, fusing traditional Japanese instrumentation with House & Techno sensibilities across his productions. Arriving now on Brooklyn’s toucan sounds label under his Shifting Gears moniker, the DJ/producer turns in two Jazz and Hard Bop inspired club-not-club tracks on ‘Drum Nation’.

Leading the release, title cut ‘Drum Nation’ sees loose drums and jazz scales meet crunchy production, delivering a deeply musical and punchy house track. ‘Average Hoshina Sounds’ sees more delightfully lo-fi production as wonky stabs and glistening pads culminate in an energetic mid-point build-up, making for a high energy dancefloor-focussed accompaniment to the title track

One-year-and-a-half after landing on earth with its first eponymous EP, The Outsider Syndrome is back from its exploration of the vast Techno universe with more musical UFO’s.

Through “Social Engineering”, the Lyon-based duo – composed of E-care and Don Jo –, is about to deliver another dose of rock-influenced electronics, delving its dark-energy into a not-so-sci-fi-anymore dystopian future made of totalitarianism, supranational control.
Four raging tracks of analog techno and electro, with a huge space given to narration and improvisation, as a fight against boring, repetitive standards.

To be published once again on Beyond Techno Musical UFO’s in limited-edition vinyls, on February 23, 2022.

Tracklist:

A1. Oniric
A2. Social Engineers
B1. Eyewall
B2. Screwdriver

@melopeerecords have a particular fondness for dance music with a vintage flavour. With Italo disco being a constant theme throughout their catalogue, their next release from @mysecretplayground finds the French imprint in familiar territory.

Fears of Tears

My Secret Playground - Fears Of Tears [Mélopée Records]

schnitthart - Eine Galaxie 
BUY LINK: https://schnitthart.bandcamp.com/album/eine-galaxie
https://soundcloud.com/schnitthart

With his unconventional sound Schnitthart wants to transport the feeling of love, but also the bittersweet melancholy into your living room. The whole sound structure lays over you like a heavy blanket, while you feel like you are traveling through the universe.
His musical style does not demand a specific genre, rather the songs should tell you an exciting story, a story that touches you.

PREMIERE : Schnitthart - Das Geschenk

Side Up Works is back with their 16th EP by Son & Stepson. The Italian duo formed by Vicky Montefusco and K. Domenicano, who have previously released on prestigious labels such as Slow Motion Records or Chromatics, among others. The artists bring us three excellent Original Mixes that combine groovy basses, dark and intrepid synth lines and leds that transport you to another dimension.

The sixteenth edition of the Catalan label is also accompanied by a remix by Aaryan, one of the first Indian producers who has released on labels such as Sincopat, Disco Halal, URSL or Magician ion Duty, earning the appreciation of great artists such as Carl Craig.

We are happy to have musicians of this quality, so we invite you to enjoy their work both at home and on the dance floor.

PREMIERE : Son & Stepson - Elephant

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/b1980music
Track: Modeling Minds
Label: https://soundcloud.com/zonerec@randomcollectivecr
Format: Digital EP
Release date: 03/06/22
YouTube: https://youtu.be/mMp3eACDNug

B1980 is respected producer and musician Bert Libeert and is best known as the drummer of electro-rock band GOOSE. This project sees him focus on his love of EBM and techno with influences taken from new beat and Belgian legends like Front242. His aim is to bring the spontaneity of live music back to clubs, armed with just two synths and two drum machines. Says the artist, "music is not all about technique or knowledge, it’s about expressing your personality and style." He sure backs that up here.
Our choice here falls on 'Modeling Minds'which  slows things down to a predatory and heavyweight crawl, with spangled synth patterns and supersized hi hats all conveying an epic sense of battle to come.

Quiet Confidence

PREMIERE | B1980 - Modeling Minds [Zone] 2022

Florian Herzberg is the man behind My Secret Playground. When giving his 3-tracker-debut on JEAHMON! Records a headline we would choose this: "A Berlin Melange". Again and again Florian is drawn to his hometown Vienna. A city full of old glory and vanity, a spirit of optimism and standstill in the same way. On his new EP "NOSTALGIA", the now Berlin-based producer combines these opposites in three Electro and typical 1980s tracks. Rolling aggressive beats are replaced by broad synths and strings. Pounding kick drums paired with nostalgic vocal lines make the leap into the 21st century and give My Secret Playgrounds EP its own contemporary Indie Dance sound. A coloured mix of amazing fish food that will now be put into our aquarium. A warm welcome to My Secret Playground and Joy Tyson. You are here in good company!

Nostalgia

My Secret Playground - "Vienna" (Original Mix)

PolyGlove - Good Face
BUY LINK: https://polyglove.bandcamp.com/
Release date: November 9, 2022
https://soundcloud.com/polyglove

‘Good Face’ is the new EP from PolyGlove which finds the duo channelling sounds from old school raves to dystopian Sci-Fi futures. At first the EP explores the darker side of these future visions but as the record progresses it harps back to a brighter optimistic past, a time before the world became so self aware.

Following on from their last release ‘Leisureplex’ the duo aimed for a grittier and more aggressive sound which was achieved thanks to the re-collaboration with mixing engineer Rían Trench (Leo Drezden, Solar Bears, Panikatax).

The EP also features a remix of 'Good Face' from Rain (Oisín McGovern). The mix hones in on the original songs grit while also introducing trippy syncopation to the rhythm section and atmospheric delays creating a dizzying merky terrain verging into a harder sounding Kraftwerk circa ‘Electric Cafe’.

PREMIERE : PolyGlove - Good Face

My Secret Playgrounds debut on Sincopat takes you on a ride through the raw sounds of the early nineties - equally inspired by rock, industrial and electronic dance music.

Through voice and lyrics, Joy Tyson gives a little peek into the vast world of sexuality. Poetically highlighting the moments of surrender, command, punishment and reward. Our desire, impulse and permission to live a fantasy.

Enjoy!

PREMIERE: My Secret Playground - Deine Lust Feat. Joy Tyson [SINCOPAT]

Between Disco and Techno, between poetry and madness, between strangeness and concreteness, rises the music of My Secret Playground. He delivers on the imprint, always with precision and perfection, two original tracks made for dancing.
“Ich Geh Nicht Mit Dir” is a stunning, intoxicating title, which could lead the crowd to a certain alienation. The metronomic groove of the song is carried by swirling vocals and pads, an almost horrifying atmosphere of a manhunt !

The second original piece, “Running through Fiction” is definitively a pure dancefloor track! The manhunt goes to the next level; danger is everywhere, and the only way out is certainly the dancefloor! The dance steps follow one after the other, the sneakers smoke, and the bodies sweat. Welcome in the secret playground !

Welcome to the talented Jason Core on the imprint. The Spanish producer gives to the eponym track a more Italo way, giving extra energy. And when the acid wave breaks, it’s crazy !

To close the excellent release, Jakob Mäder is back with a pretty housy remix of the second original track. And when the piano is added to the rhythm, a king of melancholy accompanies the hearts. Or maybe it’s joy?

A BERLIN MELANGE

Again and again Florian Herzberg – the mastermind behind My Secret Playground – is drawn to his hometown Vienna. A city full of old glory and vanity, a spirit of optimism and standstill in the same way. On his releases the now Berlin-based producer combines these peculiarities in Electro and modern sounding 80s tracks. Rolling aggressive beats are replaced by broad synths and strings. Pounding kick drums paired with nostalgic vocal lines and vocoders make the leap into the 21st century and give My Secret Playgrounds an own contemporary Indie Dance sound. 

For more than a decade Florian has been based out of Berlin; in the German capital, he has not only found his unique musical voice – but emotional solidity within his greatest passion.
2014 he launched his live music project ‘My Secret Session’, an event where DJs and musicians improvise live together to dance music. Through this session he was able to shape the unique organic sound width of My Secret Playground and also work with the best musicians in town. Since then Florian has been performing internationally as a DJ and with his band, creating a variety of sounds that sets him apart from the rest.

His track „Wir Tanzen“ on Rabotat Records, combined with the viral video during Quarantine 2020, followed by his EP „Fears of Tears„, on Melopee Records, pushed My Secret Playground to a wider audience. His latest releases have all made it into the Beatport Indie Charts Top100. 

Since 2022 Florian organizes the hedonistic Party Theme Whipped Cream – a colorful dance soiree with artists like Freundenthal, Vlad Yaki, Bizzarro Universe or Myrddin.

My Secret Playground releases on labels such as Melopee Records, Sincopat, Jeahmon! and Rabotat Records.
