Taken from "DJ Rocca x Lex - Solid Street EP (B2 Recordings)". Out February 26th 2024. Buy here : https://b2recordings.bandcamp.com

Greece’s B2 Recordings welcomes the legendary Italian produce DJ Rocca to join forces with Greece’s Lex this February for their collaborative ‘Solid Street’ EP.
DJ Rocca has been an active and widely respected figure in the contemporary Disco and House scene for decades now with releases on the likes of Gomma, Soul Clap Records, Faze Action and Claremont 56. Here he pairs up with the Athens, Greece based producer and DJ Alex Andrikopoulos aka Lex, a key figure in the city's underground electronic music scene, founding the now defunct Radical Soundz record store, running numerous events
in the country and also running the imprint, Quantinzed Music.
‘Solid Street’ kicks off the EP and sees the pair deliver an expectedly funky infusion of organic percussion, psychedelia tinged guitar licks, a bouncy bass line, intricately unfurling
synthesizer jams and jazzy flute work all crafted with a dynamic and ever unfolding aesthetic. ‘Solar System’ follows and as the name would suggest employs a spaced out, cosmic feel and an eighties leaning influence through an amalgamation of choppy bass stabs, bubbling arpeggios, twitchy resonant synths and cinematic leads, underpinned by a loose rhythmic flow.
‘Rose Tree’ then rounds out the release on a more classic lounge house tip, employing fluttering wind instruments, wandering jazzy bass grooves intertwined with free flowing mood like synth licks and the signature natural percussive drive.ß

PREMIERE : DJ Rocca X Lex - Solar System (B2 Recordings)

The Monologues Podcast invites producers to mix an hour of their own productions. Follow our Bandcamp for our label releases at http://monologuesrecords.bandcamp.com

Pushing a super soulful, highly musical house and disco vibe on labels like Delusions Of Grandeur, B2 Recordings and Spa In Disco, Greek producer @lex-athens has really caught my ear in the last couple of years with his wonderful productions. Enjoy an hour of his own glorious, sun-drenched productions, including plenty of unreleased goodies.

*How would you describe your sound?*

I think there's a blend of quite a few different styles in my music so it’s a bit hard to describe it. In my ears I hear a psychedelic funkiness with a soulful balearism, if I could say in one sentence. But I think it’s a bit more than that, I mean I could use so many other words also. I am also a bit confused to be honest :)

The thing that I am quite certain though is that there is a lot of emotion, euphoria and positivity in my music, created with lots of organic action.     

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* 

As usual, my first contact with music was from my father’s record collection and what he was playing on the turntable. That was mostly rock, disco, blues, classical and some eclectic Greek music to name a few. I am sure that those years inspired and influenced me subconsciously the most.

Apart of that there was also an early trance/rave period that played its part but I think the general late-'90s early-'00s US house period was the one that finally inspired and influenced me the most consciously.

There are really so many names to mention, for all these periods, that it's really very hard to pick just a few.

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*

It’s the first mix I do with only tracks of mine so I am very excited. Also curious and a little nervous to see if people will like it. I approached the more housey side of me and there are lots of unreleased stuff in it, even unsigned.

Lex & Locke - Soul Escape

LENG SHOP - https://lexathens.bandcamp.com/album/remixes-faze-action-ruf-dug

Alex Andrikopolous AKA Lex (Athens) released his brilliant debut album Waving in 2022 on Leng and he now returns with an EP combining fine remixes of tracks from Waving alongside two new previously unheard cuts.

The remixes are undeniably special. Fittingly, the EP begins with the first of these, a sensationally sun-soaked revision of one of Andrikopolous’s most Balearic moments – previous single ‘Punta Allen’ – by former Nuphonic fusionists and FAR label founders Faze Action. The Lee brothers’ take is one of those sunset-friendly workouts that wraps glistening guitar licks, steel pan style motifs, Lex’s gorgeous lead lines, hazy electric piano solos and life-affirming keyboard riffs around rolling nu-disco beats and a new rubbery bassline courtesy of Robin Lee himself. It has the feel of a pool-side anthem in the making.

Just as potent is the typically quirky and hard-to-pigeonhole revision of ‘Prezend’ by Manchester maverick Ruf Dug. Here he offers up a genuinely revolutionary rework, re-imaging the track as a sparse-but-colourful fusion of vintage acid house bass, saucer-eyed piano riffs, dubbed-out synth sounds, jacking lo-fi drum machine beats and squelchy TB-303 tweaks. While fresh and undeniably contemporary, the remix has an alluringly nostalgic, retro-futurist vibe. 

Clustered around these two top-notch revisions is a pair of previously unreleased Lex originals. He joins forces with regular collaborator Locke once more on ‘Libre De Amor’, an infectious chunk of, low-slung dub disco marked out by weighty bass, jammed-out electric piano motifs, spacey pads, intergalactic effects and mazy synth solos. Dotted with additional percussion hits and echoing female vocal snippets, it’s one of the pair’s most potent dancefloor workouts of recent times.

To round off a rock-solid EP, the Athens-based veteran blurs the boundaries between stripped-back, late-80s house nostalgia and nu-disco. ‘Super Awake’ boasts cowbell-sporting Chicago house beats and acid house inspired bass, on to which he’s layered all manner of colourful synth sounds, jangly piano stabs and spacey electronics. Throw in some typically immersive chords and progressively more psychedelic TB-303 motifs, and you have a genuinely triumphant conclusion to a formidably floor-focused EP.
