Space – the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Shubostar starship. Her mission: To explore strange new music worlds. To seek out new beats and new melodies. To boldly go where no woman or man has gone before.

Remember those words from Star Trek? They do fit quite well for our latest signing, South Korea born Shubostar who presents her »Live At Robert Johnson« debut »Dolphin Dream«. Wait … did we just say dolphin? Well … who knows if there aren't dolphins in space too …

Let's begin with »Queen Millennia«, a melancholic but somehow hopeful piece of new cosmic disco music - a name which suits Shubostar's style of music quite good. She's using disco music as a basis, adding sprinkles of »cosmic sounds« plus a little touch of techno and thus creates her own soundscapes indeed rooted deep in space.

»Dolphin Dream« is up next and suddenly we're not deep in space but deep in the ocean with synthesizer arpeggios all over the place. But this dolphin's dream sounds a bit like as if he's following a starship that dove into the ice cold waters of the Atlantic on its search for Atlantis - beautiful!

»Siestar« is far from sounding like a siesta. It's a highly positive and uplifting tune which will put a big smile on everybody's face for sure when played out loud to an up and down jumping crowd in a club anywhere. It's vibrant, it's lively, it's fast, it has star qualities!

Shubostar changes the beat and the pace a bit for her last track »Éternité«. The tune sounds like a theme song of an 80ies science fiction movie situated in the Paris of 2099. Imagine a foggy and wet November evening with our leading actress, cigarette in her mouth, walking down an old but totally modernized boulevard ablaze with neon lights and you might get close to the feel of this wonderful tune. And aren't lyrics sung in French not just great? Mais oui, bien sûr!

Make sure you check out Shubostar's own label »uju Records« too.

Berlin based Tony y Not released this indie dance banger, which Jorkes expertly crafted into a remix with their signature Techno twist.

Jorkes art is rooted in gender, queer and egalitarian attitudes and can often be provocative, whether musically or performatively. This plays out with the always fascinating Freeride Millenium label which they co-runs with their muse, lover and partner Daniel Rajcsanyi aka ParisBöhm. 

Together, they have become central players in Europe's LBGTQIA+ scene thanks to the way they freely express themselves, their emotions and their experiences through their work.

German-born but Austria-based Jorkes only put out their first release in 2016, but soon started turning heads. Their characterful music melds all manner of classic and new school disco sounds with house and electro. Like all the music on Freeride Millenium, their releases come with often confrontational imagery shot by partner Daniel. It has lent the label a unique visual identity that stands it apart and reconnects with dance music's roots in marginalised communities.

With collaborators Jorkes runs the HOT all-gender sauna parties in Vienna. They have long provided a place for their community to come together in a safe space and explore their sexualities without fear of reprisals. During the pandemic, they had to be canceled and the community was left with nowhere to go. As such, it highlighted the importance the dance floor has when it comes to creative thinking, sexual liberation and multicultural amplification. This gave rise to the label's three-part IMPACT compilation as well as a series of discussions around the topic.
Also in 2020, Jorkes curated a compilation for Queer Base, a charity organisation in Vienna that offers social services and legal counseling to LGBTQIA+ refugees who arrive in Austria. It once again proved that Jorkes's mission goes way beyond simply making party music and is instead driven just as much by social causes and uplifting his community.

Next to their music on Freeride Millenium, which was recently featured as DJ Mag’s ‘Vital Label’, Jorkes has stepped up to the influential Frankfurt imprint Live at Robert Johnson with a superb EP as well as dropping music on the highly regarded Permanent Vacation. They have collaborated with NIKKNAME for Ombra International, remixed for Riotvan in Leipzig and have a track on the London based label Family Drama compilation. They took part in a Beatport live stream with some friends in a Vienna art gallery and have some extremely high profiles podcast mixes coming up in 2023.

Alongside ParisBöhm, whom Jorkes describes as their "endless source of love, joy and inspiration," they host a popular monthly radio show on Radio 80000 which has a devoted fan base, and they also hold down a DJ residency at Stuttgart's Romantica. "I directly digest and convert my life's happenings into something expressional that puts me in a dialogue with like-minded people around the world," says Jorkes. As their mission continues, those conversations become increasingly influential.

In sheer rapture, Riotvan hereby announces... Curses, the most classy and charming prince of darkness that contemporary dance music has to offer, is debuting on the label with a new release. 

We’ve seen him on remix duties for New Hook recently. Still, here we find him submitting two originals, crafted with his regular companion, Dame Bonnet, on the bass and showcasing a rather tender sentiment within the signore’s emotional spectrum. 'Premonitions' aligns bass-driven Postpunk-verve with blissful synths and an overall romantic tuning that Human League or Tears For Fears would’ve sold some close relatives to achieve. 

'Salvation', on the other hand, builds a somewhat meditative, almost IDM-like grounding, on top of which Curses practices a head-spinning Talkbox-exorcism.

AEONX - Vol. 4 - Shubostar - Lørdag

'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!'

Following the Hunter Thompson advice DELLA jumps into the scene making his solo debut on Playground Records with a ‘kickass’ EP full of fat basslines, crispy textures and incisive irony. Two original tracks accompanied by 2 remixes, one from the Mexican new waver Mufti and the other one by Kaputt.Wav co-founder Kabinett.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!

Summertime is here and there's no better way to celebrate it!
"Blanco Sombra" is Syd dePalma's debut on Rotten City. An EP where love, hate, and fear converge at a single point. Featuring two original tracks, "Puerto Leone" and "Cuerpo, Sombra y Espalda," the Spanish producer, musician, and vocalist has delved into the darkness to extract every color, finding a wonderful balance between various elements such as light and darkness, with classic and new methods of composition and production. The result is a fluctuating blend of new wave, psychedelia, and post-pop, creating a sonic space comparable to the feeling of nightfall, where one cannot distinguish between their strengths and weaknesses, yet still feels comfortable in the ebb and flow of sensations between good and evil.

On the other hand, Delone, fascinated by the vibes of "The Knife" or "Fever Ray" in "Puerto Leone", has transformed the vocals from the original track into an abstract wall of sound that drives the remix as a backdrop. It is 100% focused on the club scene, yet avoids the typical 4x4 beat to transcend genres on this amazing journey of breaks and epic chords.

Compilations are always fun, aren't they? Perusing through the many a landscape delivered by each of the artists involved can be an enriching and valuable experience if you are into really listening to music instead of only dancing to it. Here is a great opportunity to savour the moment: Astrolead brings to life a ravishing 13-track VA featuring some of the hottest and/or promising acts amid the Nu Disco/Synthwave scene. Ichisan, Martin Brodin, Woolfy, Rayko (SXDNS118), From Beyond (SXDNS329), Petko Turner, Jason Core, and the label boss himself, Ilya Santana (SXDNS072), just to name a few, brought their best to the game with high-quality retro-imprinted cuts.

The track we were solicited to review/premiere comes from the creative mind of Simon James aka Woolfy. Hailing from Los Angeles, Simon's most prominent works have been published on Permanent Vacation, Lagasta,  Phantom Island, Eclectics, Midnight Riot, and Ritual Release. He now makes his debut on Astrolead with an extremely well-constructed piece: Ska-like guitar riffs got together with a bouncing bassline to bring to life one of the most creative themes of the release. It's funky and groovy, babe!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://astroleadrecordings.bandcamp.com/

We’re excited to share the Shubostar remix of Noema's upcoming album, One. This remix brings Shubostar’s spaced out and groovy “cosmic disco” sound to the funky and absurd universe created by Noema. 

Available for download on September 22, 2023 at https://themagicmovement.bandcamp.com/album/one-remixed

One is part of an interactive performance installation consisting of music, interactive choreography and stage design, theater, costumes and remixes. In this Gesamtkunstwerk, Noema, tells the story of his interdimensional space explorations, in which he manifests in four different entities. Because of the energetic state of humanity, these entities became trapped in our dimension and now put on performances to re-power their portal, so we can all be interdimensional again! During the performance five actors invite up to 120 people from the audience to join the action. Sun Ra meets Steve Reich meets Larry Levan - imagine it like a “happening” from the 70s.The performance was premiered as the closing act of Garbicz Festival 2022.
  
The music from One is loosely based on the minimal music classic „In C“ by Terry Riley and consists of 56 melodic patterns, which are repeated and consecutively played from the first to the last. Every player can move on to the next pattern at their own pace. The piece is about 45 minutes long without a break.

Shubostar
Hailing from South Korea, Shubostar has been immersing herself in the evolving underground scene of South Korea and Thailand and now in Mexico. Her music can be defined as “Cosmic Disco” – a base of disco combined with techno elements. In 2018, She decided to launch her own label ‘uju Records’ with Korean painter Daryung Kim, inviting her favorite artists in the genre. Shubostar was recently featured on the cover of Mixmag Brazil and was one of eight artists selected as DJ Mag’s One To Watch in 2023.

Noema
As the founder of The Magic Movement, Noema is a pioneer in the electronic and downtempo music scene in Europe. He was resident DJ in the legendary Berlin Club institution Renate for a decade and has collaborated with electronic music heavy weights like Apparat, Dj Dixon, Daniel Wang and Grammy winners Basement Jaxx.
