'Turn It Around' slows things down to a starry-eyed broken beat awash in heavenly harmony.

A year after his debut on @Atomnation, Milio unveils his exceptional first album Nachtzon. Due for release on October 8th, the 12-track album showcases the Dutchman's flair for escapist melodic sounds.

With The Tiger, Matias Aguayo returns to Kompakt with his first EP for the label since 2014’s Legende. Since then, he’s been busy with all manner of experiments and explorations – a monthly radio show on Worldwide FM, 2019’s Support Alien Invasion; the essential El Rudo Del House series; an album on Crammed Discs with his group The Desdemonas; collaborations with Sano and Gladkazuka (as Rionegro), DJ Spoko, Mujaji, Julianna, a new trio with DJs Pareja, named MDM Factory, and the latest offering on his Cómeme imprint, El Cameron featuring Ricardo Villalobos. But something special happens when Aguayo returns to the mothership, as though he’s reconnecting with something essential: “pop melancholy is just right there,” he says.

On The Tiger, Aguayo is in touch with the core of the flame, the music that’s at the centre of his being. While most of the music may have originated “in the foggy Mexican forest,” he’s sure that the EP is “still a Cologne record,” something you can hear as soon as the prowling bass, shuffling rhythms and ghostly voices of the title track lope stealthily into earshot. The titular character is caught up in the sensuous tangle of the night, that space between dusk’s delirium and dawn’s dreaming. Aguayo sings, “Do you see the same I see? Are we having the same dream?” – here, he’s picturing an after-hours revelation, “on a warm muggy night with all sorts of background noise from various nightwalking animals – but at the same time, I was a city dweller stranded in the jungle, who still dressed like he was about to go to the disco.”

The ascending, ever-circling bass of “Nightshift, The Red” tells another story, a spiralling mantra that’s hypnotically psychedelic, yet elegant, refined, filled with sonic textures you can almost reach out and touch, like knotted twists of exotic fabric. “The lyrics are very associative and somewhere between urban and jungle nightlife,” Aguayo mentions, “fireflies shine, but also the reflections of the disco ball.” “Show Me What You’re Feeling” takes us back to the 1990s, with Aguayo re-working some vocal and lyrical fragments from three decades ago, its beautiful uncertainty remarkable in what Aguayo calls its “extremely emotional openness”. Dappled with melancholy, it’s a lover’s hymn to intimacy and vulnerability.

Aguayo signs off The Tiger with “El Propio Propio”, a celebratory ending to an EP that’s rich and complex, full of lovely musical moments – the tender melodies woven through “Show Me What You’re Feeling”; the warping, pliable, plastic textures that Aguayo crumples and crinkles through “El Propio Propio”. Like much of Aguayo’s music, The Tiger highlights the senses, to advance a new sensibility, one that inhabits a fever-dream of hints and clues, a mystery that’s solved by the deep, dark sensuality of the rhythms here, fully in love with the nightlife. It finds its exoticism in unexpected moments, sideways glances, surprising twists and turns. After all, as Aguayo says, “moths are far more glamorous and mysterious than butterflies.”

Originally released on Antenna's debut EP for Eskimo Recordings, 'Astra', the Russian producer's collaboration with Tasma gets re-released this summer complete with a brand new edit courtesy of Berlin based producer and Lossless label boss Mathias Schober.

Applying a surgeon's touch Schober's 'SB Re-arrange' adds a note of precision German engineering to Astra's euphoric Trance-Disco. Subtly cutting and editing the track, Schober tightens up the drums and toughens up the synths, all without losing any of the original's heady, transcendental vibe.

With nods to both 00s Nordic Disco and 90s Frankfurt Trance, 'Astra' in both its forms is the kind of blissful electronic music that dancing through the night was made for, whether you're in a dark sweaty clubs on under a starry Mediterranean sky.

Happy to welcome Motel77 not only to the series but also to the label, as they've done a killer remix that will be included on the next Ep - out very soon.

Thoma Cher & Charp teamed up last year to form Motel77, a dark disco act 'for those who like to keep their leather jacket on the dance floor', as quoted in Trax Magazine.

After an Ep on Nein and another on La Dame Noir, these two guys have become ones to keep an eye on, not only as producers but also as Dj's, since they've been djing in Shanhgai for over a decade now, something we could tell after listening to the mix they sent us, a perfect balance between disco, rock, dark and light.

Enjoy!

The two Amsterdam based producers have produced a four track EP under the guise of Darcey Electronics which is out today on the newly launched label Pleasant Life.

The release features four tracks of off centre electronics, kitsch downtempo and electro which comes off the back of independent releases from both artists for the likes of Safe Trip, Off Minor Dial, Intergraded and Voyage Direct.

As close friends the duo have been working hard in their studio in the Dutch capital but this is the first time that they have ever released music together. 

The record is available on both vinyl and digital with only a small handful of stores stocking copies such as Phonica, Public Possession and Rubadub.
