After a well received 50th catalog number and the latest EP from Moo Moonster & Parissior, Berlin-based
returns with its Lost Tapes series. A 10 track album from cutting edge artists deserving your attention.
Zombies in Miami, known from their releases on Running Back & Permanent Vacation kick off this release with their debut track on AEON, which had its beginning on some improvisation during a live show. The work on it continued in studio and out came „Running Again“. A song which is guided by a heavy 303 bassline, a driving arpeggiator, a dark synth melody and pregnant cowbells.
Rigopolar is no stranger to the camp. His last release on AEON was quite a success, also being found in essential playlists such as Dixon’s Track ID on Spotify. The arrangements of his songs are quite a-typical for this Italo influenced sound and therefore makes it so special. „Into The Sun“ as well is constantly evolving with small changes, grooving and driving towards its highlights. A tune to easily get lost in it.
Upcoming Lithuanian born producer and DJ Zakmina, who’s tracks already have been released on Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondant or Future Boogie continues the journey on this album with a dreamy electro/ breakbeat influenced piece. Adding some „Kraftwerk“ sounding computer voice, „Activation“ becomes a worth debut on AEON for the 25 year old.
We are also happy to welcome Vhyce, another young gun, who already made some noise with releases on Pets Recordings and Future Disco. The characteristics of his sounds are very clear and recognizable... Still he manages that his way of ‚simple‘ also turns out ‚effective‘. „Back To Where I Never Was“ can also be seen as the introduction to a massive EP following up later this year.
Russian Zakir describes himself as a producer with „meticulous attitude to forming“ of his music, reminding „of narration of a fairy tale“. „Courier 21“ tells us a story leading us through breaks, a classic 303 bassline, topped with melodies in arabic scale.
The Mexican line up on the 4th part of this Lost Tapes completes Guadalajara based My Boy Roy, who already delivered a massive remix for Alex Niggemann’s „Rise of the Machines“ back in 2020. „Chimerical“ stands out with its classic synth/new wave drums and a dark vibe bass riff, opening up with ‚sunshine like‘ melancholic break, before dropping back into its beats.
Another intro via Lost Tapes makes Rees, owner of the eclectic ‚Paradiso’ label with his uptempo tune „Dominate The Matrix“. His upcoming EP on AEON is long awaited and will include a remix from no one less than ‚Curses’.
Italian- Venezuelan Ricardo Baez, founder „Tropical Animals“ an event series in Florence, is up next with his tune „Ricordo Micidiale“ which is Italian for a very hard and strong memory, which at the same time could be a fatal or lethal memory. "This track resumes both things“, he says. Stomping 909 toms, driving bassline and choir/vocal like atmospheres might relate to the the constant battle of thoughts within minds of artists and genius minds.
Rotterdam based Machinegewehr has already made himself a name with releases on Correspondant and Amsterdam's Bordello A Parigi. With „The Maze“ the passionate drummer delivers a dreamy Nu-Italo gem with outstanding vocoder sounds and sets the bar high for his upcoming EP on AEON.
Lost Tapes Vol. 4 ends with „Mind Slave“. A track produced by Silicodisco, that finds its inspirations though the genres of Indie Dance, Future Disco and touches of post New Wave. A laid back, melodic heavy tune that perfectly rounds up an album, the AEON family is proud to present to you.

Lost Tapes Vol. 4

Mind Slave

Silicodisco - Mind Slave

Hoochie Coochie Papa simply cannot get enough of Disco – of any kind… of any time. His solid string of releases on vital platforms such as Golden Soul and Emerald & Doreen has shown how Disco Music has strongly influenced his sonority. Based in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Hoochie lands for the first time on Paulista imprint LoveDogs with “Knight Rider”, an interesting EP featuring two crusty originals and two fat remixes provided by André Rech and the label owners themselves, the respected duo TouchTalk.

Despite the high quality of the remixes, we decided to premiere/review one of the originals because we wanted to immerse into Hoochie’s work without the “interference” of a collaborator. “Attitude”, the chosen one, is that kind of track that expresses the true essence of the so-called Dark Disco/Indie Dance scene: Its intensity and moxie, provided by nervously arpeggiated synth leads and layers paired with a lively bassline plus lots of rhythmic claps and snares, deliver a modern piece infused with a notable retro atmosphere. Pats on the back, Mr. Papa!

Run Into Infinity

Flamenco Ballad

Whistle of Farewell

Emerging from a period of profound personal transformation, GOFF’S "Struggle, keep moving on," the poignant title track from his debut EP. This is not merely music; it is an auditory memoir of resilience, a chronicle of recovery forged in the fires of adversity.

Following a life-altering brain injury, the loss of his business, and the upheaval of multiple relocations, the artist found his anchor in the digital realm of sound. Music production became his daily therapy, a sacred space to process the struggle of rebuilding a life while navigating the complexities of his daughter's autism and ADHD diagnosis. Each synth line and every beat is a stepping stone on a path back to himself.

The track itself is a testament to this journey. It builds with tense, ascending synths that mirror the anxiety and effort of pushing forward, all driven by a relentless, rolling bassline that represents the unwavering will to persevere. The music breathes with dynamic breaks and erupts into euphoric drops, mapping the emotional landscape of despair, hope, and catharsis. It is, as the artist describes, "a real journey."

The project is imbued with a deeper, familial love. The powerful title, "Struggle, keep moving on," was gifted by his daughter, who also serves as the visual heart of the upcoming EP. The stunning album cover, featuring her sitting contemplatively on an unused railway line gazing into the distance, is a perfect metaphor: a young life on a path once traveled, now stilled, looking with quiet strength toward an unwritten future. It is a symbol of pause, reflection, and the immense potential that lies ahead.

"Struggle, keep moving on" is more than an electronic track; it is an anthem of survival. It’s a beacon for anyone in their own battle, a reminder that even on the most broken of tracks, we can find the strength to keep moving on.

Struggle…  keep moving on.

ZK BUCKET - WASHING AND SWEATING

Roam Recordings maestro steps up to the plate for Wonder Stories with a two track EP of druggy, cosmic sounds. De La Mode is a Middle Eastern fantasy piece full of phrygian scales and eastern sounds which gets an excellent stripped down remix by Maya Danon. 

On the b-side, Sun Kissed is exactly what it sounds, a sunny cosmic journey that grows and and grows until it peaks euphorically. Remixer Pino slows things down and amps up the drugginess that manages to creep along just perfectly.

Label boss of @roam-recordings

Indie Dance, Dark Disco, Cosmic, Psychedelic, Italo

Jason Peters is a DJ/Producer and the label boss of Roam Recordings. Over the last decade he and his label’s output have been at the forefront of the indie dance/dark disco movement. While his music centers around 80s italo, 90s rave, and contemporary indie dance and dark disco, you will also hear rare disco, psychedelic techno, and early house. 

Jason Peters is also a long time staple of the San Francisco dance music community where he plays regularly for some of SF’s more discerning clubs and promoters such as Sunset Sound System, Monarch, The Great Northern, and F8. On Jason Peters’ travels outside of the Bay Area he has played events such as SundaySunday, CRSSD festival, Block 9 at Glastonbury, Red Light Radio, Kater Blau, and the Alfresco festival.

Ransom Note puts it best: “Just like Jason's own productions, which also appear on the label, the music is dark and hypnotic, cosmic and driving - sounds that'll take you down a wormhole. There are a lot of labels and artists treading similar terrain these days, but Jason was spearheading this new wave of exciting and unique dance music a long time ago."
