St.Petersburg Sound Systems are HOAVI and TSKTCH. The two have been widely known for their solo projects, with releases ranging from every kind of genre you could only think of. No wonder that the production versatility has brought them together to collaborate and join the creative forces in studio. Instead of going after a particular sound, the duo was mainly focused on experiments with sound and improvised one-shot jams, results of which were mostly unpredictable, yet unique and unearthly.

The sound shaped by the cultural capital of Russia we could describe as a mysterious pathway between cinematic ambient and hazy atmospheric dance music. The buildings, the nature, the weather and all the surroundings are translated into the sound reflecting the musicians’ connection with the city. All elements on this EP are incredibly well orchestrated and arranged.There are not so many cities that were privileged enough to be associated with a certain music genre like Chicago or Detroit, but we are more than certain that their signature sound is opening a new chapter representing the sound, the sound of Saint-P.

PREMIERE : St.Petersburg Sound Systems - Konverty S Markami

Valentine's Day 2020 will be a special one for Nein Records who serve up a new EP from Italian-born, London-based DJ and producer Dario Dea with remixes from Theus Mago and Steady State. Dea has been in the scene for a decade, mixing up afro-house infused rhythms and heavy-hitting Italo disco basslines with house and techno. His love of blues and rock also informs his sounds with his previous releases having had support by the likes of Joris Voorn, Mind Against and Lehar. The artist says he started working on this record while moving from Dubai to London. ​"This move had a big influence on my music and I spent over six months trying to arrange my thoughts and feelings into music and this was the result." The excellent 'Dance of the Sea' opens up with a seven minute synth journey to the cosmos. Italo style chords bring future retro feelings to the far sighted disco grooves and the whole thing brims with rather melancholic emotion. 'Ready Player One' is a more dark and edgy affair thanks to the turbulent bass and thunderous claps, the lead synths are pained too, adding another dimension to this futuristic bit of dark disco. The release is completed by a pair of superb remixes, opening with a real killer by Theus Mago, the alter ego of established Mexican producer Mateo González, who is responsible for dance music projects such as Bufi (Kitsuné/Discotexas), Sonido Fantasma (Turbo Recordings) and co-head of the Duro label. His version is built on a relentlessly rugged bassline that rumbles away under wild synths and off-grid percussion. Steady State is the second remixer, a mysterious production project about which nothing is known. They serve up a more introverted take on 'Dance of the Sea' that is awash with lush pads and chords and journeys to the stars on a more dreamy vibe. These are four fantastically varied disco styles that all brim with quality and character.

PREMIERE : Dario Dea - Ready Player One

Exclusive Theus Mago 'Rave Dave'

Mexican artist Mateo Gonzalez alias Bufi alias Theus Mago kicks off his 2020 vision with a three tracker, 'BAQA', on PETS Recordings and musically continues to deliver dance floor oriented music in the style of his 'Osla' EP, which included the omnipresent and well-received track 'Stadium Flutes'. 'Rave Dave', the B2 or EP's closing track is no exception regarding the aforementioned and is an instant classic. 'Classic' because the sound selection as well as the arrangement take you back to the early nineties of the last decade, to the die-hard rave days, to 'rave Dave', the stereotype of a raver, dancing all weekend but still being fresh on a Monday. 'Rave Dave' stands out due it's lush bass line or a 'thundering drum' combined with echoing ligneous sounding chords still giving the take an industrial vibe thatis emphasized by a mental melodic part in the middle part before the trippy intially introduced chords and a vocal guide the listener through the end of the track and right into a newly approaching musical thunderstorm. 

Theus Mago's EP 'BAQA' will be released on PETS Recordings on January 17th, 2020.

EXCLUSIVE: Theus Mago - Rave Dave [PETS Recordings]

They sat quietly across from each other, eyes down trying to avoid one another's gaze. You could cut the tension with a knife, things had been said that couldn't be unsaid. They were no longer joined by the same bond as before, now they were more like strangers, unsure of whether to stay or go. But that was just how life played out, and whatever life throws at you, you just have to shake yourself off and keep on rollin... 

Following releases on Hard Fist, Pets Recordings, his own Silencio imprint and Ransom Note Records, the mighty Bawrut brings his off kilter productions to Life and Death for the first time. Known for his weird and wonderful approach to electronic music, his Turbo EP for DJ Tennis' label is no different, with menacing basslines, boiyant synths and hypnotic drum work throughout.

PREMIERE: Bawrut - Rollin' [Life And Death]

Everyone called her wild, because she walked barefoot, threw from the boat into the open sea, bathed during a storm, sunbathed until the skin came off, danced until her legs allowed and shocked the provincial young ladies with her  inimitable style of dressing and behaving.
We was in the club and i was watching her, she impressed me and I finally approached her, she said: - "Let's go to the sea?" 
We left the club and went for a walk along the deserted seashore, until the first rays of the sun appeared . Music still sound in our minds, we did not talk, we did not do nothing else, but it was neither fun nor sad — it was just wonderful.

Controlla es de esa clase de sellos que no da puntada sin hilo, que en todo momento saben lo que hacen y no dejan nada al capricho del azar, aunque a veces sus decisiones nos puedan parecer insólitas, poco comerciales o fuera de lugar. Ahora aterriza de nuevo con su última referencia, No Siento Nada. Esta vez, empuñando una paleta sonora inmersiva, un amalgama de influencias de varias décadas proyectadas de forma tan singular como personal.

El track que nos viene a caso, No Siento Nada, el remix Fausto, junto a Ulises Urrieta, es contundente y redondo. La elegancia, el vigor y la aventura no están reñidas con la accesibilidad, y aquí se demuestra en cada una de sus notas. El resultado es cautivador, con la cantidad perfecta de sustancia para que sea incombustible, presentado con un estilo potente que va desde lo clásico hacia lo más innovador. Una delicia sólo para melómanos.

Paradiso Analogico (Franz Scala Remix)

Massimiliano Pagliara is a true powerhouse! Off the back of his third full-length album endeavour and the launch of his own Funnuvojere Records, the Berlin-based DJ and producer continues to thrive and broaden his already comprehensive list of accomplishments. Titled "Nothing Stays In One Place For Long", his first EP release for Permanent Vacation displays the perfect symbiosis between man and machine, offering a glimpse into the Panorama Bar resident's vast production capabilities.

From blissful balearic house and spacey dub techno to acid driven disco stylistics, Massi continues to transcend boundaries in trademark fashion. And although nothing truly stays in one place for long, his timeless approach towards music stays closely and unmoved in our midst. Big TIP!

JUNO RECORDS REVIEW: 
"Super smooth groove-smiths Whiskey Disco have distilled another disco bomb here. Thoma Cher is the supplier of the good times via, firstly, the pure party gem that is "Holiday Holiday", on an EP that marks Cher's first solo outing on this label. "Dancer" is an uplifting track with a warped bassline that wraps itself round the sliding hi hats and loose drums as boogie synths add colour. "Be My Love" is an instantly recognisable gem with a fat bassline slowed to a sensuous pace overloaded with breathy vocals. Great stuff."

Vintage synth fetishist and genuine circuit-bending whiz, Italo Brutalo is no typical dealer of hardware-squeezed juice. Tapping in the endless potentialities of his analogue army of retro machinery, the German producer has built a sound ID that defies conventions and takes pride in trespassing all the frontiers and limitations associated to the etiolated map of dance music styles.
From EBM-laced rhythms to jagged techno motifs, via off-pistes divagations into electro, disco, hip-hop and kosmische spaces, Italo Brutalo writes a story of genre-busting, all-embracing love for the primordial groove. Having first dabbled into production through the studio equipment of his father, young Fries quickly caught the virus of music-making and its idiosyncratic logic, using all the means within his reach to turn his ideas into actual pieces of sound. With over 25 years of fiddling, tweaking, bastardising bars of automated fire so people can have a blast on the dance floor, Italo Brutalo has gained a potent reputation amongst jockeys and producers, recently making it to the cover of Das Synthesizer Magazine.

Following up to a string of releases on a wide array of imprints including Mozzarella Records, Days of Being Wild, Compuphonic, RFR or Nang Records, Fries moved onto self-releasing his output through Bungalo Disco, the label he co-operates alongside his girlfriend. After the first three vinyl releases went sold-out within a couple of weeks, Italo Brutalo now returns with his anticipated debut long-player, "Heartware", which - as its title suggests, makes for a compelling ode to the machines that got him into the eerie world of sine waves and tape loops. Beautifully wrapped in a gatefold, and adorned with the exquisite artwork of his creative partner to go full-circle. What else?
