PREMIERE : Stockholm Youth - Voidance (Gameboyz Remix) [Melómana Records]
BUY : https://melomanarecords.bandcamp.com/album/stockholm-youth-vol-2
Release date : 20/09/2024

Melómana Records' latest release, reference number 42, is distinguished by the collaboration of two renowned artists from the label, Stockholm Syndrome and Tronik Youth. This release includes two original tracks that blend genres like electro, EBM, dark disco, and new wave among others, characterized by the intensive use of strident synthesizers and a robust and forceful rhythmic base, elements that guarantee their effectiveness on the dance floors.

The original tracks are complemented by three innovative remixes: Gameboyz, Mexican producer TH3OS, and French artist Cate Hortl add new dimensions to the EP's sound. "Viodance," the track that opens the release, stands out with its catchy riff and funk elements, combined with hypnotic vocals and complex arpeggios that transport the listener to another era. "Fascinated" raises the rhythm with a dark disco style bass and an arpeggiated synthesizer line that transports us to futuristic new dimensions of the dance floors.

Gameboyz's remix of "Viodance" incorporates an electro sound with marked percussions and acid sequences that capture the listener's attention from the very first moment. Meanwhile, TH3OS adds a dark, minimal, and techno dimension to the sametrack, using the original arpeggio line to create a sensory journey filled with hypnotic rhythms. Finally, Cate Hortl delivers a standout remix combining powerful bass lines in the style of Gesaffelstein with the original track's synthesizers, maintaining its essence while exploring new sonic territories.

This release not only reaffirms Melómana Records' commitment to a distinctive and constantly evolving sound but also anticipates a 2024 full of innovations and surpriseswithin the electronic music scene. Stay tuned for future revelations that will continue to define the cutting edge of the genre.

FEINSTOFF PREMIERE: Upercent - Desperta (AFFKT Remix) [SINCOPAT]

Mexico meets Augsburg! Feines Tier veterans @theusmago and @dominik-marz join forces for the „Timewarp“ EP. And to everybody whose stream of consciousness associates this title to terms like „Feierei“ and „Gude Laune“: Well, you’re not wrong. The message is brought to you through on-point less-is-more drum programming, distorted toms, crystalline synths, chirping 303s and spliced-up vocals. So basically everything you’d ever need for a proper feierei. Mr Smallville Paris aka Jacques Bon and his pal Drux (nomen est omen?) serve their exquisite tastebuds to cook up a bittersweet remix of the tune, which makes for a deep(!) dish with its trippy percussion layers and nebulous pads. Maybe don’t drive a car after consuming this one. The gude vibes continue with „Fredonien“ which is served in two variations: Firstly the „Vox Mix“ which is going all in on honoring its title and is as sweet as candy, with the synth chords adding that dip of melancholy we’re craving from all the best deep house tunes. The regular version is a more streamlined affair, but don’t be fooled: The amount it’s lacking in heart wrenching vocals is more than made up by melodramatic Mellotron-y synths dropping by from time to time to say hello and raise the stakes. All we’ve got left to say after all these timewarps, drux and vox is: More of this collab, please!

Hello 24! Nice to have you here. 23 is so yesterday, so over the top, really. Well, we’ve been dancing the following dances recently. What about you?

What lasts a long time usually turns out well. Having admired TEE MANGO from afar for many years, our A&R Michael Mayer took heart and invited him to this year’s TOTAL. “So In Love” is in the best tradition of the KOMPAKT minimal funk of the early years. We are delighted to have this lovely Englishman on board!

REINHARD VOIGT has always placed great emphasis on loving animals. On the track with the unsurprising title “Der, der mit dem Gummiball sang (Orange)”, he lets whole hordes of different four-legged friends and poultry on the microphone. Hopefully the stench will dissipate from the studio.

When Rhenish cheerfulness meets holiday anticipation, the result is something like this Hawaiian shirt turned music called “Chee-Caruso” by JÜRGEN PAAPE. No animals were tortured for this piece either, even if it sounds like it.

We stay in the realm of fauna and turn our attention to London’s award-winning pedigree dog REX THE DOG. “Laika” is a heart-warming ode to the mongrel dog of the same name, who was the first living creature to make it from the streets of Moscow into space. She would have loved that bleep.

A little-known fact about MICHAEL MAYER is that he is one of the fastest crossword puzzle foxes on the left bank of the Rhine, always in relentless rivalry with Wolfgang Voigt, who thinks he is even faster. The big battle is yet to come. Uninvited guest with five letters? “Urian”.

As an integral part of the family, JONATHAN KASPAR is of course not to be missed. “Are You” celebrates the kind of early morning rapture that is commonplace at his new DJ venue, the brand new Cologne superclub FI. Everything is so colourful here.

SASCHA FUNKE takes a bow to one of the greats of German showbiz with the trippy electro smasher “The Heck”. Born – like DJ Koze and Barnt – in Flensburg, died in Berlin in 2018 and wore glasses. More will not be revealed.

More emotion, more love, more sing-along factor? Si, claro! ARGIA’s “Love Keeps You Running” masterfully combines groove and pop – a blend that sounds very familiar to us. She may be at home in Madrid, but there’s Cologne DNA in her somewhere. We’re sure of it.

Let’s meet the legends, the veterans! JÖRG BURGER is still in a psychedelic mood in 2024. That suits him, that’s where he needs to be, that’s where we want him to be. A parallel universe is conceivable in which such music is affectionately called Goa.

Before going to bed, the WASSERMANN reads us a fairy tale from the Arabian Nights. At the same time, we focus on a point between everything, but really everything, and absolute, stark naked nothingness. 3, 2, 1… Let go.

"A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

A Dream By is a journey into the minds of some of the most unique and inspiring artists of our time—pioneers defining the sounds of our generation.

We are honored to kick off this series with Jesse Trinidad, an Andalusian artist whose work I’ve admired for years. A true curator at heart, Jesse creates electronic music rooted in reflection, blending influences from his home—caught between the raw spirit of North Africa and the romantic, contemporary energy of Europe.

When I asked Jesse to contribute, he was hesitant at first, feeling uninspired by DJ mixes at home. But as we discussed the concept of "A Dream By," he began to reflect on his own relationship with dreams.

This mix explores that journey, like moving through different stages of sleep—vulnerable, unfinished, polished, fragmented, and sometimes harmonious. It reflects the ebb and flow of the subconscious, much like dreams themselves. It is an invitation to dive into Jesse's world, to experience the soundscapes and unfinished ideas that reside in his music folder.

Thank you, Jesse, for letting us into your dreams.

Our last Truancy Volume of this year comes from a DJ based in Cologne going by the name of Jules. A regular DJ at Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf, a place which honed the skills of top tier DJs such as Lena Willikens and Jan Schulte, it's not surprising Jules skills as a selector are equally as matched.  They haven't gone unnoticed either as he closes out 2016 having found a monthly home on NTS' second international channel which we highly recommended keeping on your radar for 2017. We caught up him the chat about growing up near Stuttgart, his time spent in Bristol and playing places like Golden Pudel.
