Always on the lookout for new talent, we are proud to present Cardozo, the multi-faceted artist, who joins the Monstart family for the release of his very first EP "Voices Notes". As a witness of an overflowing multiculturalism, he embodies musically the essence of our vision by materializing in an EP what the public can feel during our events and our DJ sets.

“Voice Notes”, Cardozo’s first EP is an ode to mix blending, universe fusion and musical melting pot from the clubbing culture. The piece’s common thread lies in the work of the voices that unite the different tracks of the EP. Cardozo found his musical inspiration in his background as a sound engineer/arranger. In a series of studio sessions, different voices and unused ad libs gave him a new approach to his musical vision. Indeed, instead of organizing his piece in function of the voice, he chose to consider his productions by reversing the role and by adding another face to these voices. New distorted but haunting sounds emerge.

Cardozo considers autotune and voice processors as audio treatments that are all the more interesting when used to the extreme. Especially with very exploited samples like the carioca beatbox that appears on Clap or Como É, which brings a whole new dimension and allows to enrich the musical universe in which the sample is integrated.

​​Each track has its own rhythmic palettes served by sharp drums, present and prominent, in the foreground. The aesthetics and influences are immediately identifiable by the rhythms that compose them (r&b and dancehall in Hardlibs, baile funk in Clap, dancehall and footwork in Hiz, trap and neoperreo on Como É). The unique and original touch of the producer is to be able to accompany these influences with rhythms with club sounds (rave synth, breakbeats) and to link the whole very quickly for a catchy and impacting result.

"This project aims to mix several styles of music, from worldwide through pop culture (Neo perreo, RnB, dancehall, ragga, trap, Baile funk), and give them a club flavor by drawing on the musical codes of Western European music that we know well, while projecting into the future in terms of sounds and feelings.

These are all familiar styles that I've worked on as an arranger over the last few years in West Africa for several rappers/singers. They're also styles I'm used to mixing as a DJ." Cardozo

✱ 𝐒𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄 ✱ Deep dive into a club tornado by Parisian DJ and producer @anyoneid ➡ His EP "Cross Rhythm" will be out on @couvrexchefs on November 10

Despite their anything but obvious affiliations, the tracks that make up Cross Rhythm show the Parisian producer and DJ's ability to draw on his rich background as a producer, abstract his influences and convert them into unstoppable missiles ready to pulverize any dancefloor. 

Playing between darbouka tinged with Hard Drum, reinvented Afro House, technoid Trance, epic percussion and oppressive melodies, anyoneID delivers here two hybrid dancefloor bombs, without concessions and brutally unclassifiable.

Blending elements of Moombahton and bass music, this track will leave you sweating and panting for air on the dance floor. 

Então Vem

Superhero by day, producer/dj by night Gan Gah hits us hard again with his second EP for Lowup records. With a relentless energy he presents a set of original material of Moroccan sonorities perfectly framed within an actual club context. His aim is simple achieve trance & frenzy on the global dancefloors, he won’t rest until the universe is conquered.

After a first successful release Souktronics on Lowup, he now presents his second EP Chaabitronics. Ahwach Riddim, Ahwach refers to the music of the berber villages in the Atlas mountains and integrates folkloric elements of berber music into a smooth running UK bass riddim, perfectly setting the tone for the rest of the EP. Taktoka, is a tribute to the leader of the fans of Agadir’s soccer team HUSA, blending chaâbi elements with a ternary rhythm achieving a trance like state topped off by a haunting melody. Daâwa, literally meaning mess and things do get messy & wild. With elements of the Northern regions of Morocco - think - a Raggada rhythm with loads of Darbouka and a wobbly bassline pushing the listener further into an ascending trance. Kind of like a meeting between the Chemical Brothers & Omar Souleyman getting out of control. Last up is Bsahtek, the most adventurous track of the four, achieving a perfect balance between a diverse set of modern club aesthetics and more traditional elements, often used during the celebration of marriages, it leaves you in a state of perfect bliss & harmony.

I made the original version of this one years ago, I think around 2013. At the time I was listening to a lot of Underground Construction, earlier gabber, and other obnoxious, barbarian music. I guess this was an attempt to make some hard house. A demo got passed around to a few friends, some seeming to like it (not sure why, it sucked!). Back then it was all drums, just a little mixing tool. It had the WORST kick ever, like a fucking wet paper towel hitting a cardboard box. The snare rolls came from a really dodgy, low-bitrate 4shared reggaeton sample pack, which I used for most of my early tracks. I added a vocal sample, a much better kick, and a few other sounds, but left it pretty stripped down for its original purpose.
