This 2nd VA gathered by the reptilian mafia presents a darker side than the first compilation. You will get to hear some delicate sound design from Paris-based bass addict Machka, some deep and mellow brainfucking downtempo from Swiss duo Los Pashminas, and a big riddim from Toulouse-based bass music queen Jan Loup and her high detailed and overdriven footworking dubstep. Oceya turns the next page with a psychedelic soulful downtempo track, tingling your agmydala with her distorted vocoded voice, opening the path for heavy industrial breaks from our friend Mawen, sound engineer of our first release and talented producer based in Bordeaux. Danniel Dhnl follows with his classic gimmicks of "Tribal Guaracha" straight from México, then Nour Kara also from Toulouse, delivers a dark technoïd yet organic tribute to Iranian women fighting for freedom. To close the deal, Da Iguana & Doko Modo prepared some trancey downtempo rooted in earth but crossing the cosmos, Islyz a heavy drum & bass track with reptile skin-like textures, and our close friend Meo is the goodbye giver, with some forest-infused, muddy yet delicate "popperstep" made with his good old octatrack. This compilation is a powerful source of energy, a medicine for cold blooded people, and thus, had to be called Gator Aid.

nothing needs to be achieved

Fourth label release by French producer PELIKAAN includes 5
original tracks and 3 remixes by our label mates Frolov, Itwo5
and newcomer Sombra

PELIKAAN is a French producer who has built his musical project across the capitals of
Europe he has had the luck to call home: Paris, London, Madrid and today Rome.
With his music, PELIKAAN invites the listener to fly along on a quest for sound, a journey
that the artist wishes to be exploratory and spiritual - but most importantly, fun.
Being somebody who's never been too keen on putting things into well-labelled boxes, his
style remains undefined, lying somewhere between downtempo, trip-hop and electronica,
but not hesitating to take inspiration from other genres.
Arbitrary Impressions will be PELIKAAN's second EP. With this work, the artist intends to
draw a musical self-portrait, with each track representing a certain aspect of life.
We Were Young can be seen as a nostalgic homage to time passing by. Both chilled with its
bouncy baseline and wild with its airy arpeggios, the track is meant as an unapologetic
celebration of the energy of youth, with all its candour and stubbornness alike.
Ghost is a wink at the opportunities that we believe to get permanently closed as we make
our way through life. It starts with a solid groove to hang onto, like a window on the horizon.
But halfway through, everything seems to collapse before the exploding into a new energy,
reminding us that nothing is fixed and new paths can always be open.
Treasures is an invitation to gratitude, to enjoy what life has brung to us so far and what
more is to be discovered. The track follows repetitive rhythmic arpeggios that accelerate
periodically, like waves crashing on a beach, with each one of them leaving behind its dose
of inspiration and experience, like little treasures that one should learn to cherish.
Rain Dance is a celebration of the most unexpected aspects of life, it starts with a steady
beat over bass drones but suddenly opens to synth-wave style arpeggios, mixing elements
that have little to do together in appearance to create something entirely new.
Finally, Rabbit Hole represents a dive into the divine, when the inspiration strikes and we get
in the zone. With its extra long break, this track intentionally doesn't respect the standards
of electronic music production, as an ultimate reminder that rules are here to be broken.

COAL & ASH CIRCUIT w/A-Tweed #29 @ Radio Alhara [12th March 2023]

“Unbekannten Fotograf (Vol.1)" (ENG: “unknown photographer”) is the first self-release EP by Italian dj/producer A-Tweed based in Rome.
It’s a pure tribute to German electronic music and to the idealistic split between artists and their art. The three track EP was produced in 2 weeks, using mostly Elektron Syntakt groovebox, after and before a small journey in West Germany and taking inspiration by visiting two Contemporary Art spaces such as Museum Ludwig (Cologne) and K20 (Düsseldorf).

Written, produced and mixed by Antonio De Oto

Masterings by Valerio Ebert at Le Pianole Studio (Vasto, CH)

HF01 – The first episode of Hybrid flowers focuses on musicians who reconfigure well-established musical traditions into new forms, while prioritizing the voice as a central component of their artistic practice.

"Carefully selecting individual tracks that evoke a powerful emotional response and seamlessly weaving them together to create a cohesive and emotionally charged listening experience, this is a patchwork of siren chants, lullabies and ballads that break and mend my heart, made for you to tuck in and wander, from song to song and from dream to dream." ∞ Daphne X

Hybrid Flowers (1/3) by Daphne X

Astroloop is more than just a musical project; it's the brainchild of a passionate artist named Gabriele Lori, whose love affair with the diverse realms of electronic music runs deep. Nestled within the vibrant tapestry of the Feste Preziose festival, Gabriele assumes the role of a resident DJ, seeking that elusive sweet spot where grooves and melodies intertwine seamlessly. His devotion to the dancefloor is unwavering, yet he keeps an open and dreamy eye on the enchanting world of slow-dance electronic productions.

The journey of Astroloop commenced back in 2017, a path paved with earlier projects, including captivating radioshows and unforgettable nights in pulsating clubs. It all came together with the release of the debut vinyl gem, "Svegsy. EP," which found its home on the legendary Freerange Records, curated by none other than the esteemed Jimpster.

Fast forward to 2023, and Gabriele's artistic voyage took a thrilling leap into the realm of Disco Halal, a realm crafted by the illustrious Moscoman. This adventure followed a string of remarkable musical releases, having left their indelible mark on labels like Curses Ombra International and Modular Project's Nothing is Real.

Astroloop's sonic odyssey continues to evolve, resonating with the hearts of music enthusiasts worldwide, all thanks to the visionary passion and dedication of Gabriele Lori. The future holds endless possibilities for this electronic dreamweaver, and we eagerly await the next enchanting chapter in the Astroloop story.
