Nathan Micay is pleased to present the next re-issue on Eternal Schvitz: Mouvement Perpetuel - Sexuel Mouvement, three incredible dance cuts written by Jerome ‘Pacman’ Elia. Originally released on Obsession Music in 1997, the A-side went on to become a cult favourite after appearing on Sasha & Digweed’s North Exposure Expeditions mix in 1999. Since then, copies of the original 12-inch record have sold for astronomical sums. Now, over 20 years later, this gem is lovingly restored and available to a new generation of DJ’s and music lovers.

As always, Schvitz gives back. From any profits raised, 60% of the cut to the artists and ensuring their credits are front and centre. The remaining 40% of profits will go to aequa, a Berlin-based collective with a focus on empowerment of women, trans and non- binary folks through gatherings for interpersonal exchange. Schvitz is Love. Schvitz is Communal.

Eternal Schvitz 004: Mouvement Perpetuel - Sexuel Mouvement

In the past few years Paramida has been busy aligning the planets to her liking: notching up residencies at Panorama Bar, Robert Johnson and Rinse FM. Now she sets her sights on something new: the moon. Her first 12” is here, and in it she channels its energy into 2 unexpected, long-awaited cuts: ‘Dream Ritual’ and ‘French House 2000’, releasing them on her own Love On The Rocks imprint and offering a glimpse of things to come with remixes from Youandewan and the mysterious Alchemical Sisters – AKA Octo Octa & Eris Drew. The eagle has landed, and she is energy.

‘Dream Ritual’ begins firing on all cylinders with heavy percussion and deep rolling basslines that recall early 90s house & jungle, leading to a frenetic, hi hat-heavy drum workout and the drop of a hypnotising lead, carrying us through sections of dreamy pads, swirling trippy clouds that build to breaking point then clear to reveal the raw breaks behind; a stormy sunrise over an extended rave on the shores of a tropical planet, made of ecstasy.

Eris Drew & Octo Octa’s sublime rework stretches the pads and otherworldly samples over a thumping, jump-up take on affairs: stop/start workouts between pressurised build ups, slamming percussion fills and a cheeky acid bassline, all twisting, turning and bubbling away to effervescent effect.

French House 2000 begins in more tribal territory, and with even more urgency. Pounding drums at 130bpm are laced with razor sharp hi hats and punctuated by rushes of dreamy distant melodies, synth stabs and nods to mid-90s French and UK house, techno and trance, a particular blend of genres synonymous with Paramida’s DJ output which she looks set to fuse ingeniously in her production.

Youandewan steps up for the remix, dialling down the intensity for a more reflective, more sci-fi take: a latenight spacewalk through a cluster of eerie sonic debris, moving at brisk pace with a stoned energy past trance-tinged horizons, pausing occasionally to take in the view.

The past is over. A new cycle begins. Dream Ritual will be released on 12” vinyl in a divine ceremony on the night of the full moon, October 20th, 2021.

DJ Normal 4 - Call Of The Valley EP (BS09)

Paramida returns with her second EP ‘Moonrise VII’, touching down on Love On The Rocks just in time for summer with 3 cuts of hands in the air, good time house, F1 tunnel rave and emotional dream house; her signature take on colourful, dreamy trance-inflected visions of the dance floor in full, untethered effect.

Sailor Moon House, inspired by the cult 90s anime series of the same name, is what would happen if Sailor Moon made house music: beautiful, colorful chaos energy; the sound of a dancefloor collectively nodding their heads, tapping their feet and losing their minds on a Sunday afternoon at Panorama Bar, on an infinity cruise to pure joy. Kawaii! Hypercolor trance clouds break to a shiny new dawn of driving rhythms, cheeky acid bass hooks and searching sonar pings, setting course for a masterclass in feeling good, sunrise filtering in through the blinds, leaving a sea of happy faces and twinking ecstasy trails in its wake. 

Space Ride finds Paramida in heist mode: a high-speed 8-minute car chase that swerves its way through dimly lit rave tunnels in the dead of night, leaving just the acid traces of its heavily chopped trance stabs to electrify the no-nonsense, pounding kick drum and groove workout, punctuated by abrupt u-turns via razor-edged rave corners, leaving the dance floor in the dust. Sampling SYT’s 1995 progressive trance track ‘Drift’ on Chris Hillman’s UK-based label Magick Eye Records, which has been serving up psychedelic trance, deep dub, downtempo and ambient since 1991, this track came about over the course of a year via a random Shazam/Hör-related chain of events that led to the original artists involvement, blessing Paramida’s edit and rework to re-introduce their lost jam to a new generation, with new bells and whistles, maxed out for ‘22. Seatbelts on!

33 is something completely different: 3 minutes and 41 seconds of shapeshifting, heavy-lifting ambient dream house that threatens to build into a massive emotional crying-on-the-dancefloor moment but instead flips gears before dropping you back in to a life-affirming, pure ecstasy bliss, the sound of the warmest, connected chemical embrace channelled into a sublime 221 seconds of being alive.

"The people of the world, all of them... tend to think only about what we cannot share. But our brains are all the same. We are the same people." 

- 美少女戦士セーラームーン

Much love to Chris Hillman at Magick Eye and Scott James & Christopher Hayne aka SYT for their collaboration on ‘Space Ride’. To find out more about SYT or Magick Eye, visit magickeye.com.

Title: Ambientica
Label: Spaziotempo 
Cat No: SPTM007
Format: 12” Vinyl Only

Tracklist: 

A1. Ambientica
A2. East Block
B1. Tidal Types
B2. Underwater Armour

The seventh release on SPAZIOTEMPO, the 4/4 side of Where We Met, marks Rambal Cochet’s full gas debut on the label.

The title track Ambientica is a proggy weapon the brings acid vibes and techy rhythms on a perfect balance. East Block, the other track on the A side, explores dreamier melodies with a punchy structure.

The B1, Tidal Types, is a techy prog weapon with ethnic samples and clear 90ies reminders and Underwater Armour, the closing track, seals it up with more truancy evolution and yeah, we can’t get enough of em!

Rambal Cochet - Ambientica (SPTM007)

Esteemed proponent of outré dancefloor manoeuvres, Superconscious Records co-founder Fantastic Man makes his Kalahari debut proper.

Having shown up for rework duties on a couple of occasions, we find the mutable oddball at his most trippy and esoteric. In fact, OYSTER42 is the handiwork of a producer who has his formula of balmy, lysergic dance music down to an exact science.

‘Alltogethernow’ gets on a swaggering cosmic tip, all sub-loaded and celestial as levitational arpeggios and funked-up groove dovetail to mesmeric effect. ‘Alpha’, on the other hand, takes a vision quest through enchanted jungle terrain. Initiating with a hypnotic ritual chant, it’s tunnelling and murkily psychedelic; occulted dancefloor rapture tailor-made for the wormhole interior.

As if it were some artefact from a distant ‘90s utopia, Bioxy’ evokes a time when warehouse parties littered the Melbourne landscape. Where its predecessor evokes ceremony and ritual, this is an anachronistic, dilated flashback to simpler times. FM kicks it languid and life-affirming on the closing number. Radiant synth lines flutter with a gentle headiness as ‘Trojan Force’ takes us full circle with a reprise of the rainforest FX.
