Maceo Plex - Why

Following on from the debut release on Jamie Jones & Lee Foss’ new imprint, New Yorker Serge Devant makes his first appearance on Crosstown Rebels offshoot Rebellion with talented duo Audiofly on remix duty.

Setting the tone of the release, ‘The Way You Move’ is deep and dark at the roots with haunting vocals and an otherworldly aura. Audiofly deliver a solid remix, keeping it deep with rolling percussion and hypnotic energy.

o+ Serge Devant perfected his craft at legendary nightclubs such as Tunnel, Limelight and Crobar in New York from the late 90s. In 2008 he signed a deal with Ultra Records and released two albums. After releasing the first album in 2009, Serge began touring the world and forging a name for himself across the globe. After taking some time away from making music due to a serious back injury, he had the chance to rethink his musical direction. His latest release on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’ new label Emerald City followed by this outstanding release on Rebellion proves that Serge Devant is back and stronger than ever.

o+o Luca Saporito and Anthony Middleton aka Audiofly are one of the leading musical partnerships on the scene. Their releases can be found on the likes of Get Physical, VIVa Music, Desolat and their own Supernature. They also run a successful series of events called Flying Circus that they take worldwide.

Just This is Hunter/Game new label based on their well known party in Milan.

Just This is the expression of a social, metropolitan and underground movement we are living and going through all together.
Our Mission is to give room and importance to Art and Music which are still evolving day by day.
Just This is aimed to frame these changes, which are going to be the picture of today and the future memory of the cultural movement of this age, throughout a series of messages, images and sensation drawn inside the audience.

Furthermore, thanks to the energy, the happiness and the magic charm of our parties and events, talented and unique artists, from all over the world, use their way to interpret music to communicate people the real core of this change: 
the future is changing...

Hunter/Game

Balance is the key to Hunter/Game's music. It's part of growing up in Milan - a sophisticated urban centre for film, fashion and art, but whose inhabitants relish the contrast of spending reflective time in the nature that surrounds the city. Having been part of Milan's techno scene since its first days, the duo of Emmanuele Nicosia and Martino Bartola now find themselves equally influenced by the city and by nature - making music that harnesses the urban propulsion of techno within an introspective, thoughtful take on melody.
It started in 2010 with the "Just This" parties. Hunter/Game's own party, held in secret locations round the city, Just This has made Milan a compulsory stop for the touring electronic artist - from early shows that focused on local acts like Mind Against and Tale Of Us, growing to far bigger events with names like Dixon, Seth Troxler, Koze, Tennis and other DJs in Hunter/Game's worldwide scene. And alongside the parties, the duo have released on Innervisions, Rumours, Last Night on Earth, My Favourite Robot, Hot Creations and Dynamic - with a Kompakt release in early 2015 - and each EP has earned more fans for their lush, deep-grooved analogue soundscapes.
In 2015, alongside a heavy Europe and North American touring schedule, Hunter/Game will open the doors of the new Just This vinyl label. Distributed by Kompakt, the label opens with the leftfield electronic dance stylings of Danish-Icelandic band Primal, a Hunter/Game release, and another to come within five months. With a stylistic approach that leans toward Hunter/Game's own, Just This releases are aimed at the discerning dancefloor, but are as influenced by the wild ambition of 80s electronic acts as by contemporary analogue production techniques.
But even with this worldwide success, Milan is still the base. Having painstakingly helped grow the local scene, Hunter/Game see themselves as responsible for keeping the energy of Just This going. As other DJs have moved away - and despite Hunter/Game's regular slots at key international clubs like Fabric, The Edge, Warung, Output, Wilde Renate and Studio 80 - the duo see that combination of urban and country, and sophistication and lucidity, as critical to their inspiration and their future experiments with sound...

Out now on digital release - https://lnk.to/RBL049

Following on from the Rebellion release at the start of this year, Italian producer Rowee returns to the label with Dharmony. A spiritual offering, the two track EP is a fitting addition to the Rebellion  catalogue.

A rich landscape of playful synths,  Dharmony is a fusion of melodies and harmonies that set the tone for the EP. Rowee was inspired by the Dharma, “ a key concept with multiple meanings in the Indian religions. There is no single word translation for Dharma in Western languages. In Hinduism, Dharma is the   order   that   makes   life   and   universe   possible,  the ‘right way of living’ ”.

On the B-Side, Rowee manipulates KnowKontrol‘s vocal into a new dimension. Intricate sounds are layered over the baseline, concluding this otherworldly trip.

Rowee is prolific Italian DJ and producer Leonardo Gonnelli. Fresh from his release on Seth Troxler's Play it Say it imprint and nominated in the category of Best Track at Vicious Music Awards, Leonardo Gonnelli has demonstrated his exceptional talent as a DJ whilst playing at worldwide events such as the legendary Space Miami, Pacha Buenos Aires, BPM Mexico, Dockyard Festival (ADE) in Amsterdam and Sonar.

Having recently remixed Yousef ‘Vanity’ feat. The Angel on Crosstown Rebels, 2017 marks the start of a new chapter for Rowee, promising   a bright future of what is yet to come.

Supernature’s provocative multi-artist LP, Kolors, will be released early summer. The first full album to come out of this label, Kolors is a grand opus – an artistic collaboration that merits some extended play time and inspires some serious soul searching.

Kolors is not your average compilation; the project explores the individual visual perception of color and how that compares to the unique auditory experience of music.

The 15 contributing artists have all chosen a color to define the essence of their track. The selected colors expand the traditional spectrum with on-point specifics like ‘Matt Silver,’ ‘Lunar White’ and ‘Mint Green’. Regardless how many adjectives used, everyone will see these colors differently, and that is exactly the point! The experience of colors, like music, is subjective.

The project’s rich concept adds layered depth and gives listeners an expanded auditory experience. The colors are well considered and one hears the artistic intention behind the labeling.

In a profoundly personal, artistic revelation artists also provided the reasoning behind their selection, evoking instant imagery and placing listeners in the mind of the musician. Of their track, ‘Lunar White’, John Charnis & Jimmy Maheras said, “When we wrote the song the melodies reminded us of the moments in a dark dance floor where people's faces were illuminated, whether by strobe lights and lasers, or the glow of the moon in an outdoor party.” That visual association becomes abundantly clear when one listens to the corresponding music.

Jon Charnis & Jimmy Maheras - Lunar White [Supernature]

After years of producing music under various guises, Jon Charnis found his true calling in the slower, darker, and deeper spheres of House music. The re-invention manifested beyond music as the former DC native relocated to the city of Los Angeles while launching his new moniker (his actual birth name). From then on it didn't take long for him to make an impression. His track 'Prophecy' was spotted by Innervisions boss Dixon, who signed the track to his prestigious Berlin based label after road testing it at some of the world's premier parties. He followed this up with an official remix of Art Department and Damian Lazarus' Burning Man anthem, ‘Robot Heart’ on No.19 records. The streak continued with releases on more top labels including All Day I Dream, Supernature, Connaisseur, and Endless.  
Jon Charnis's music receives regular support by renowned DJs such as Dixon, Lee Burridge, Tale of Us, Hernan Cattaneo, and John Digweed to name a few. As a DJ, Jon Charnis' international profile rose just as quickly. With gigs at Space, Ibiza and Sonar, Barcelona under his belt, his first year saw Jon playing across the globe at other hotspots in Berlin, Munich, London, and Amsterdam. Jon is a regular fixture at Burning Man, where routinely helms the Robot Heart bus, as well as party hotspots such as Cityfox, Zero, SXM Festival, and Modernity. As the world returns to normality, 2022 sees a fresh start for Jon Charnis with a fresh new forthcoming EP on All Day I Dream as well as joining their roster at ADID showcases. The journey continues..
