The XO Show

The XO Show ft John Joe XO - Vol 1

Hola! Estoy muy contento de presentarles X-Beat, mi nuevo álbum a estrenar antes de editar mi próximo LP.
Hacer este disco, a decir verdad, para mí fue como un sueño. Tuve la suerte y la oportunidad de conocer a una persona increíble como mi amigo el Uru, quien me ayudó y me potenció mucho artísticamente.  Yo vivía en un departamento en congreso que estaba vacío, no tenía heladera, no tenia sillas, no tenia nada. Lo único que tenía, y que tengo hasta hoy en día, son mis sintetizadores y mi estudio. La verdad que yo no me encontraba muy bien, pero no por la falta de cosas materiales, ni por el calor que hacia en el estudio, sino porque me sentía completamente atrapado en mi mente, en mi obsesión por el sonido y sin ningún tipo de esperanza de que pase nada al rededor de lo que estaba haciendo. Fue entonces que decidí depositar todas mis esperanzas en armar un show en vivo. Me la pasaba yendo a lugares abandonados que iba encontrando en un grupo de facebook a buscar VHS por la ciudad. Mi único afán e interés externo a la música fue y sigue siendo el cine, por lo cual recorría la ciudad en busca de cintas viejas para deleitarme a la noche mirando una peliculita porque básicamente me había programado para hacer un track por película, así fue como fui armando mi show en vivo en torno a las películas que iba comprando para ver en mi viejo reproductor de cintas. Una vez terminado, presenté el show y me di cuenta que había hecho algo que me convencía. Al poco tiempo, hicimos una fiesta con Shony, mati y axel, donde tuve la oportunidad otra vez de presentar mi show y fue ahí cuando conocí al uru, una de las personas mas interesantes y sinceras que conocí en el ultimo tiempo, quien ademas de ser sincero para relacionarse, también fue sincero consigo mismo en su propia búsqueda, me sorprendió con la cantidad de música que me mostró, pero en si me dio una oportunidad imprescindible para esta obra que fue la oportunidad de armar el estudio en su casa sumando nuestras cosas, el uru tenía todos los sintes que yo había soñado desde siempre. Al principio me pareció algo muy extraño, me sorprendió mucho su precisión a la hora de comprar los instrumentos, alguien que no hacia música de repente había comprado lo mismo que yo hubiese comprado. Fue entonces cuando arme el estudio y me puse a grabar este disco, en realidad creo que lo grabe en una semana, estaba alucinado con la nueva forma de trabajo. Aprendí muchísimas cosas de estas personas. Quiero dar especial agradecimiento a Jack The Groove mi amigo shony y a Osvaldo que me ayudaron a confiar un poco más en mi y no ser tan exigente conmigo mismo a un nivel enfermizo y en miles de cosas mas que no me entran en los caracteres para nombrar, básicamente no me queda otra cosa que ser agradecido con la vida, así que gracias ! Espero lo disfruten.

Ah, Byron, Byron, Byron—what can we say? We're absolutely enamored with this guy's music. And, we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome him into our family on Low Recordings.

We are back with our second vinyl release, featuring Byron's "Love 4 Music." This 4-track EP is a celebration of love, with Side A and Side B showcasing two distinct styles where Byron truly shines. Side A delivers the club hits, while Side B envelops us in a soulful/R&B/deep house vibe.

Kicking off Side A is "Creepin' With U." The track begins with haunting chords that exude an eerie and raw vibe, swiftly leading into a thumping, club-certified kick drum. As the song progresses, a hint of nostalgia from the lo-fi days creeps in, complemented by vocal samples that add to the eerie atmosphere. Yes, it's eerie, but it's also robust and captivating—perfect for enticing bodies to move on a warehouse dance floor.

Next up is "Work That Girl (Tribal Mix)," the heavyweight of the four, tailor-made for the club/warehouse scene. The track starts with the clicking and clacking of hats and snares, Byron's vocals weaving in and out of the mix. The lyrics are crafted for a sweaty night of dancing, and as the kicks thump in, the energy rises. Byron's trademark chords seamlessly ooze into the mix, uniting our bodies with the song. Acid-sounding notes eventually lead us in and out of the groove—a solid club anthem.

Flipping over to Side B, we're greeted by "Inner Visions," where Byron slows things down and takes us in a different direction. A classic synth line initiates the track with a smooth kick, creating an airy vibe that melds perfectly with its melody. As the song grooves, Byron's soulful vocals pierce through, infusing warmth into his words. The warmth persists as the song progresses, with his voice echoing slightly more dissonance, leaving us with a proper vision for the closing track.

Closing out the EP, Byron guides us with a vision for a fun night in "Make Me Feel." Deep with a touch of R&B, the song exudes warmth and is all about feeling good with the person who got you through the night. Byron's sultry voice sits perfectly on the track as the basslines guide us through. His playful nature keeps things light and fun, rounding off the EP on a high note.

Here's a sample of the upcoming EP.

Love 4 Music

Byron The Aquarius - Love 4 Music (EP Sample)

'Basement Philosophy', the long-awaited debut album from Glasgow’s legendary Domenic Cappello, is out Friday 2nd March on Alien Communications.

Domenic started making music under his Hutton Drive alias over 20 years ago, releasing on Soma Records and through his own label, Seven Sign Recordings. More recently, his productions have featured on Sub Club’s Nautilus Rising, Verdant Recordings and Alien Communications.

Cappello’s very own Subculture sound is present throughout 'Basement Philosophy', in which he travels through varying sonic textures and moods, to create something which is captivating and potent in equal measure. Introductory track 'Mushroom Waltz' eases the listener in through a combination of dreamy pads and upbeat chords, before 'Midnight with T' moves into more soulful territory with a New York-inspired cut which is both moody and spacious. 'Early Flight' manages to build a cerebral atmosphere, whilst possessing the snapping drums which are so characteristic of what you can expect to hear from Dom in full flow. 

'Acid Rain' carries an air of nostalgia around it, as Cappello turns to a vocal sample from friend and house music luminary Kerri Chandler’s seminal house anthem 'Rain', utilising the lyrics in a way which perfectly complements the gradual progression of the track towards a powerful, acid-tinged crescendo. This rising intensity is also present on '3am Jamaica Street', a throbbing, peak-time belter which would no-doubt be best listened to through Sub Club’s pulsating sound system. A different type of atmosphere is created on 'Moon Jump,' where languid melodies allow to create a track which does justice to the inspiration of the more house-orientated work of classic Underground Resistance. 

'Basement Philosophy' rounds off with two more electro-inspired euphonies, which signifies why Domenic Cappello and Alien Communications are such an appropriate pairing. 'Burning Past’ is a blissful, floating number whereas 'Not for Instagram DJs' is an aptly-named way to conclude the album, with a driving, floor-focused beat providing a fitting and dynamic finale. Imagine Marty Bonds meets Glenn Underground.
