A message from Playground, accompanying this killer compilation:

When we look back in time, it seems like yesterday when we started having clandestine parties in the backyard of an old house or illegal raves in public parks in Buenos Aires. 

Today, a decade later, Playground has established itself as a respected squad based in Barcelona, a record label with a strong back catalog of over 50 releases, and a family of artists spanning the globe.
10 years have passed since this beautiful adventure started and we want to celebrate it as we like best... Dancing.

Get ready because the celebration plan will be huge!

We will be holding parties in different cities around the world, and following the path started by the launch of 9 years, we present a new compilation with a line up full of great artists and dear friends who faithfully represent our history and our present... Lauer, Juan MacLean, Man Power, Rodion & Mammarella feat. Hugosan, Elfenberg, Anatolian Weapons, Roe Deers, Zillas On Acid, Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï, Balam, BĘÃTFÓØT & Geopard Tourist, Deux Control, Alvaro Cabana & JackWasFaster, Jason Peters, DELLA & Martin Noise, Mishell feat. Vongold, Fernanda Arrau, Nahuel & Kuunde, Marzian & Ricardo Ruben, John Parsley, Neskeh... Yes, a fucking dream team!

At the end of the day, all life is defined by its actions. We are what we do, it is often said. 
Okay.... This is what we do, this is who we are. We are Playground: We make people dance.

WhoisKiks - Controlla Mix 73

Curated by rising star Bonnie Spacey (SXDNS337/BLOG010), Critical Monday reaches the 19th chapter of its beautiful journey. Doing the honours, Sylphomatic (SXDNS354) cooked two savoury dance-floor-oriented cuts and invited two of the most established artists of the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene for the remix duties: none other than the big bosses of Espacio Cielo, Parissior (SXDNS206/FREEDL043/TAKEOVER002/BANDCAMP002/RASTROLIVE009), and Side Up Works, Diego Montiel (SXDNS194).

Hailing from Brussels, the solid Belgian duo, if big beer fans like yours truly, have the chance of holding awesome studio sessions with the company of some delicious lambics from the internationally acclaimed local brewery Cantillon. If not, the studio sessions must be awesome anyway. True music & clubbing lovers, the lads successfully manage to bring together their different influences and individualities to deliver a competent and well-constructed output.

The track we were solicited to review/premiere is not one of the originals, though, but the outstanding version made with love & shadow by master Diego Montiel. Owner of another vital independent label, he makes his debut on Critical featuring an interpretation of the trippy “Wet Ritual” embedded with his characteristic sonority: the trippiness is still there, but with more drive and a punchier attitude, turning the theme into a livelier cut. 

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://criticalmonday.bandcamp.com/music

Follow @sylphomatic, @diegomontiel and @criticalmondayrecords, peeps!

If there is a word to describe Radondo's path it is signature. Drifting through Italo, EBM, and New Beat influences, the Berlin-based alchemist has crafted the formula for the perfect balance between nostalgia and vanguardism.

Following an acclaimed remix for Mister Sweatband's Machine, Radondo faces the spotlights with a striking solo debut on the label featuring two distinct tracks that epitomize his role in the Italian Dance Wave movement.

The EP unfolds with 'Pace,' a poignant composition guided by celestial atmospheres, analog synth melodies, and Radondo's trademark percussion work.

On the B-side, his sonic sorcery is tested and approved with an A++. 'Rapture' exudes elegance and maturity: setting the club-ready tone, driven by acidic leads and menacing lows.

Behind these time-proof productions, there's an experienced selector that has lit up dancefloors from Vilnius to New York, with regular slots at some of Berlin's finest clubs.

Enter the Italo-Goth world of Radondo's music, and immerse yourself in a brave new take on retro-futurism.
