Life At Robert Johnson is a natural home for Superpitcher, and this two-tracker shows his sense of belonging.

Lush Life featuring vocals by Fantastic Twins was inspired by Corsican polyphony, an epiphany after a church concert though as ever with Superpitcher, simplicity is multi-layered: the track itself could be a trip back to the golden (rave) days of deep electronic US house à la François K, dubby yet peacefully driving the ecstasy home. No religious gospel euphoria though, the lyrics are a pagan hymn to Eventide presets. You can’t take the geek out of the schatzi.

Diario stretches its 10 minutes in a misleading laidback groove: Sueno Latino languid clichés are blown away by a smoothly unforgiving acid line. This is a trip, not a journey, a trip dedicated to the young raver in all of us and to a friend too soon departed. As Pasolini said in the poem of the same name: “That’s why I've never abandoned happiness, that’s why in the anxiety of my sins I’ve never been touched by real remorse. Equal, always equal, to the inexpressible at the very source of what I am”

In loving memory of Georges “Sugar” Chaulet.

Exclusive: Dario Dea, Sacha Muki - Libera (Lauer 'Breaks' Remix)

Londoner's by choice Dario Des and Sacha Muki are up next on Paradiso Records with their Adastra EP, a six-tracker that carries its listeners through the different facets of electronic music with a Disco-esque impact. The three tracks are equally split into three original takes and three remixes, which come from Time To Sleep, Permanent Vacation co-label head Benjamin Fröhlich and Frankfurt synth-wizard Lauer, who shows us his more break-ish side with the remix treatment of Libera. However, Philipp, Lauer's first name, not only adds the before mentioned note to the track but also implements an Acid- and a grandiose synth-line, with all three directions being united under one roof creating a genre-hybrid that aims at the dance floors. 

Dario Dea and Sacha Muki's EP Adastra will be released on Paradiso Records on February 21st, 2022.

With 2022 firmly underway, Dee Montero’s vision for his burgeoning Futurescope imprint continues to build and take shape, with the Belfast-born talent fusing ideas and inspiration across music and beyond across the label’s scheduled material. Fresh from the release of latest single ‘Maya’ to open the year, gaining support from the likes of Sasha, John Digweed and Hernan Cattaneo, the ever-evolving melodic favourite returns home once more as he offers a second preview into his forthcoming album with new single, ‘Satori’. Showcasing a slightly different sound to his usual material, ‘Satori’ welcomes a dive into bright, synth-guided harmonies and sweeping basslines as he paints a blooming picture through vibrant textures and striking sonics. Joining the package this time around is Permanent Vacation and Running Back regular Lauer, with the Frankfurt DJ and producer taking things deep into Italo territories as he opts for a crescendo of joyous leads, sun-drenched tones and further synth magic across his vibrant remix

Following its 5 Years of DGTL anniversary release, DGTL Records welcomes French artist Chloé (@chloe-dj-producer) to the family with Night Rider. Complete with a Roman Flügel (@roman-fluegel) remix of its title track, the EP offers the latest in this multi-talented artist’s accomplished and diverse repertoire. Night Rider is set to release on May 27th with pre orders available on May 20th.

In leading an entire generation to her formula-defying music, Chloé’s music goes beyond club and techno. The Lumière Noire boss has been releasing unwavering sonic compositions since her 2002 debut. From there, many releases would follow on the likes of BPitch Control, Live at Robert Johnson, Kill the DJ, My Favorite Robot, and Throne of Blood. But Chloé’s interest in art and human matters goes beyond simple sound machines, having also produced work within the 3D sound, photography, musical analysis, and film composition spaces.

Night Rider kicks off with its eponymous track. Featuring soft vocals set against a synth driven melody, the track harkens back to the cassette futurism of its classic-series source inspiration. From there, Three Nights in a Row is an anthem to the long haul. Is it for the afterhours or the early minutes? When the days and nights blend together, who’s to say? Wrapping things up comes a Night Rider interpretation from the one and only Roman Flügel. The German legend maintains the original’s oracular tone, ramping up the percussion and tension as only the master of machines could.

An obsessive seeker of sound, whether in her prodigious DJ sets or original compositions, Chloé embodies the life within the digital. With a career unfolding through a narrative of subtle contrast and ever-inspired curiosity, Chloé is a singular artist in a permanent state of reinvention.

Welcome to another fine episode of SIRS aka »Sounds in real Stereo«! After last years' arrival on LARJ with his »Arrived EP«, Berlin based versatile DJ & producer Daniel Klein is back with »Travel To HDF.Y3D« - an utopian (or more likely dystopian) ode to space travel:

The last few remaining humans are traveling with 133bpm to the most distant galaxy in the universe on a mission to seek out a new space for mankind to live after many years of exploiting good old Mother Earth. What sounds like a horror scenario if you start thinking about it, SIRS manages to wrap up in quite a positive musical message. Thus »Travel To HDF.Y3D« becomes that hopeful uplifting slightly dreamy tune we all need these days - not unlike Christian Bruhn's theme of a certain Captain called Future back in 1980 …

It's also nice to have two more versions of such a strong tune at hand: The first one is a true first one for »Cocktail D'Amore« DJ BUDINO as she comes up with her first remix and production work ever. Budino's approach is a slightly darker, maybe indeed more dystopian one. The synthesizer bass lines dominate her remix and by getting rid of the original's playful melody she creates a very special melancholic feel. 

Leipzig based PANTHERA KRAUSE's take isn't quite that different from Budino's as he too focuses on the darker vibes of this journey in space. It's his added extra dose of punch that surely will keep dancers on the floor for sure.

The former »Space Ibiza« resident SIRS now takes over the controls again with »Summer Desire« which too is destined to rule dancefloors not only in Ibiza but all over the world with its lovely airy vibe.

»Travel To HDF.Y3D« returns for one last time in form of the spoken word prolog - a nice extra tool to play with.

Yet for digital music lovers exclusively we have three more variations of »Travel To HDF.Y3D« on offer which are perfectly executed in totally different ways by RESIDENTES BALEARICOS, FREUDENTHAL and LARSE - you just need to hear 'em for yourself!

With Sun Ra we travelled the space ways from planet to planet, now let's all travel in light speed with SIRS to the most distant galaxy from planet earth - a place we all should go …

Brussel's beat smith DC SALAS is back on the block - the Robert Johnson block that is! His 3rd release for LIVE AT ROBERT JOHNSON is also his 20th official release so far - so we have two things to celebrate spread over Diego Cortez Salas' powerful four-tracks EP called »Voces«.

Let's start with the title track: »Voces« is a call to alarm right from the beginning with its stabbing synth bass line and sirens. Add a couple of drum breaks and a heavy beat - et voilà: You have the first of four tunes to jump up and down to. Et oui, Salas surely knows how to build tension in a track - even in a voiceless track named »Voces«.

Next up is »The Lights« - and oh boy does Salas turn them on! These are quite trippy lights with a sound that could easily come from a twisted didgeridoo … The beat of »The Lights« is (of course) groovy as f*** - excuse our French. So let's turn on »The Lights«!

B-side opener »Metallic Glow« does just that: The track glows in bright metallic from the first second and features plenty of crazy sounds to do a crazy dance. Did we mention the groove? No? Well … just listen.

For »Safe Pace« Diego pulls out beautiful percussive elements and the 303 thus surfing on a not-so-safe pace to be honest: The last track of »Voces« is as fast and demanding as all the others.

DC Salas again managed to build four really solid stompers here to set any dancefloor on fire - without using any voice or vocal - these are REALLY SERIOUS SOUNDS you all should listen to and dance to. NOW.

Hooray to the newest associates of the Riotvan family, The Chord Memory Club! And what an initiation it is. They are firing away with Planet Rock-informed Electrovibes that will make you want to get your freezes and powermoves on immediately. Needless to say, there are hi-energy chords all over the place on the A-side „Alpha Juno Love“. A similar rhythmic kink is to be observed on the flip „Accroche-Toi À Ton Amour“ as well, just backed by rather straight four to the floor patterns. On top of that they are serving some cut up synth and vocal garnish, rounding the whole thing off to a delicious little dancefloor cakelet.

PREMIERE : The Chord Memory Club - Alpha Juno Love

Part 5 of the various artists series is at it again with 5 tracks by 5 different producers and a mixture of feel good party time music and contemplative music. You will hear familiar Running Back names like Storken (this time together with JStaaf) refining their comic tropes (or imagine Foreigner doing house music) next to newcomers like Archie Ward. His Pizza Girl puts musical toppings on a pounding underbelly that wouldn’t be out of place in any warehouse, while Moritz and Amount dial it back a bit. Their respective tracks are gleaming with a special kind of elegant end-of-night euphoria that is hard to come by – and all the nicer if it happens. Remember: trance is a state of mind! Last but not least, Australia’s Jonus Eric delivers an IDM-leaning piece of outsider dance. Hot soup, hot swallow!

As the name states Live at Robert Johnson is the associated label of the respected venue in Offenbach and incorporates what the club stands for. The imprint has been establishing a solid ground for the new Frankfurt sound since 2009. By featuring internationally acclaimed artists LARJ has been providing DJs and audiences with essential tunes in an extensive range of high-quality house music. Laid-back dance-floor awareness with a sense for particularity in sound is what might describe best most of the releases and artists.
