EPICAST #007

For this seventh EPICAST, we are thrilled to invite @vitalsparkmusic

Vital Spark is a Scottish producer influenced by the more melodic side of underground electronic music. 

Vital Spark's productions take elements from italo disco, trance, 80's synthpop, and classic house to create upbeat and positive synth-centric dance tracks. 

His next release, 'Diskoteket', is due for release in April this year on his own label 'Curriculum Vital' - both digitally and as a 12" record.

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.

Without pretension, when Adolpho & Franky take on a set, they often have the ambition to do whatever they want. But as dancefloor dictators, and despite their rather evocative pseudonyms, they are actually known for one violence. That of the requirement, applied to all the areas they touch upon. Known in Lausanne for having concentrated honeyed musical roundups in the club of La Ruche, which was followed by the Folklor two years ago, the two partners cultivate interdisciplinarity and a certain taste for mixing cultures. Between the Spanish Vintage Franky, which was parachuted in from a past that has dragged hip hop or breakdance, and Flash Fab, a German-Swiss graphic designer who teaches his aesthetic visions during the day, a musical agreement has formed around protean productions and mixes, ranging from the minimal to the house. Serial diggers, always on the lookout for both dance and experimental tracks, Adolpho & Franky share a vision of the party as an art in its own right, and agree that atmosphere, audience interventions and other night contingencies are all part of their show. Solicited in Berlin, New York, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Paris, Ibiza, Rome, Oslo or Barcelona, in renowned clubs or major festivals, these happy few are still making audiences dance, audiences which in their image, are curious to know what the future music has to offer us yet.
