Strapontin and Zillas On Acid have both previously had a release on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce.

After becoming aware of Philadelphia’s Zillas, Belgium’s Strapontin got in touch with them and suggested a collaboration. Strapontin says “I got totally attracted by that psychedelic rave vibe and asked to work together and see where our virtual meeting could lead us. Distant work was very simple, fluid and fun.”

Strapontin describes this release as “uninhibited, positively messy and pure rave fun”.

Zillas On Acid say “these tracks are the opposite of subtle, the sonic equivalent of a VCR biting your hand.”

They are both right.
Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce on March 12th

Optimo Music Digital Danceforce 035 - Strapontin & Zillas on Acid - Acid Straps EP

Exclusive: Omar Joesoef - Chants Of Gorontalo (Cosmo Vitelli What Was The Question Again Remix)

Hard Fist's next release explores the chants and rituals of one of the world's last tribes living or holding on to ancient occurrences. Therefore Indonasian artist Omar Joesoef digged deep into the archieves of abandoned radio station on Java island to come up with samples of old recordings of the tribe. Unsurprisingly Joesoef names the EP's opening track, Chants of Gorontalo, after an Indonesian province on Sulawesi island, where the Dayak tribes lives and practices the ancient and traditional way of living. Aside from three more orginal tracks, namely Morning World, It's the Heat in the Room and a digital bonus track, Joesoef's Rituals of Gorontalo EP is provided with two remixes. While Jonathan Kusumu reworks It's the Heat in the Room, French hyper-spacey artist Cosmo Vitelli takes on remix duties for Chants of Gorontalo and turns it into a futuristic out of space tune that's implementation of racecar sounds, space-filling soundscapes whirl around and stir up elements from the original. However, it's the pads and synth-sequences in the second part of the eight minute lasting journey that serves as a counterpart to the spiritual didgeridoo-like sounds that accompany the listener from start to the very end.

Omar Joesoef's Rituals of Gorontalo will be released on Hard Fist June 10th, 2021.

EXCLUSIVE: Omar Joesoef - Chants Of Gorontalo (Cosmo Vitelli What was the question again Remix)

If Guatemala is on the map of the Dark Disco/Indie Dance scene, it is because of the global recognition Fabio Me Llaman Solteiro (SXDNS187) has achieved as a DJ and producer. Now, in order to consolidate even more the importance of the Caribbean country to the high-quality underground music world, Fabio established the project Sonido Moderna, a micro-label and music collective devoted to showcasing the interesting Central American sonority through the release of original pieces and collaborations with international artists.

After the acclaimed debut album, a compilation featuring local heroes Alan Es, Mike Rowave, Mverto Futura, and Fabio himself, plus Martian Superstars Hanzo & Yaman (SXDNS065), ID_UA (SXDNS229), MIJO, Max Jones (SXDNS234), among others, the second episode – “Gentel Decay” EP – brings together Israeli producer Mishell (SXDNS228) and a Latino Dream Team: ALF CHAMPION, Balam (SXDNS048), and Mike Rowave, who provided savoury remixes.

The track we chose to review/premiere brings ALF CHAMPION, an experimental producer, DJ, and visual artist from Guadalajara, Mexico, remodelling and overhauling the already intricate “Lost My Bongo's”. The Shamanic aura of the original is still present in ALF’s version but is now not so evident. The Mexican virtuoso took Mishell’s theme to a more breakbeat and old school rave-ish road whose outcome is a track more embodied and dirtier, ready to wreak havoc on the dance floor. Hats off, lad!

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

I’m a Cliché presents Cosmo Vitelli’s As She Rolled Another, a digital-only EP featuring an original track and gathering alternate versions from the Berlin-based artist’s vaults. It comes a few months prior to his new album planned in February 2022 and entitled Medhead.

As She Rolled Another is born out of Vitelli’s desire to share a newly produced track along with significantly alternative versions of existing music, which were created for pleasure. Indeed, Vitelli wanted to play with existing material to take it in strikingly different directions, prior to his album's release.

The unreleased track features singer Izzy Lindqwister and additional production by Krikor. It is a plodding post-punk, dub-infused affair, intimate and insidious at the same time.

The EP also includes two club-oriented tracks he released on Les Disques De La Mort and Malka Tuti along with an alternate take in a kosmiche mood of his collaboration with Julienne Dessagne of Fantastic Twins, also found on his 2019 Malka Tuti EP.

Tracklist:

1. The Shy Dictator (Alternate Version)
2. As She Rolled Another (feat. Izzy Lindqwister)
3. Groupe Surdose (Alternate Version)
4. A Brand New City (feat. Fantastic Twins) (Alternate Version)

Early support by:
Red Axes, Roe Deer, Demuja, Danny Tenaglia, Cottam, Kito Jempere, Joshua James (XOYO), Raw Silk, Sean Johnston (A Love From Outer Space), Tom Ravenscroft, Ame

Born from the desire to link the world of the West & the East. The idea was to ask two artist/band from opposite ends of the world to collaborate on a split EP, with one original track each and finally to remix each others’ work.

For Volume 2, it is with honor that we present you to the Russian duo Radial Gaze en tête-à-tête with the Japanese Sensei crew called Que Sakamoto+NT. The second edition is filled with sleek baselines and gloomy atmospheres to make dance-floors sweat.

"Some men are at home where others would be scared to tiptoe; Enter MILF Recordings, a new label that mysteriously emerges from nowhere (and everywhere at the same time).  Immediately present in the artwork, a sex charged energy, reminiscent of a 80’s - 90’s heyday, intended for mature audiences only.  Perhaps it lives on in this latest delivery from our good friend, “UNKNOWN ARTIST.”  The opening scene, I mean track… “Adicktion” (Milf’s Edit) - a tough, rolling, disco-esque bassline, somewhat of a theme throughout the release, drives the listener, over shimmering, analog drums that gradually boil over into a synthy intensity, all while you are serenaded to the excited confessions of a sex addict.  Track 2, “Dame Mature,” lowering the tempo somehow brings out a more mechanical sensuality in the track’s sampling, blending together voices, and more, over a cutting bassline, that patiently establishes a steady, easy to follow rhythm, which ends with what appears to be cracks of a whip, if that’s something you enjoy.  The closing track, “Asstronomy” (Fuck Off Edit), a type of erotic, post apocalyptic outro, through space.  More aggressive, and then later sludgy, pulsating, bass tones keep the energy moving, into an interestingly dubby, droning, breakdown, that would surely create some excellent mixing opportunities for any remotely creative DJ, possibly.  All around, a solid collection for fans of dark disco edits, that any sweaty, open minded dancefloor would surely embrace, assuming there is a DJ in the building who is capable of wielding such a fiery trio.  

A final note, for those who might only have eyes for vulgarity, where there is only music, offering their unsolicited judgment, I ask, how did you get here?  Don’t answer that question."

"This is one of those stories that starts with a boy finding a book in a dusty attic. 'Weird Legend' drags you across contrasting seascapes, offering different lighting from song to song. Abundant in field recordings from this former sailor officer's favorite beaches of Crimea, this material has sounds of the sea and ocean as a main inspiration. Both gentle and moist in its melodies and as harsh as techno can get in its beats, D. Yaroslav’s debut takes a strong stance and doesn’t fall out of character. Once again, we are helping the ones in need. Dug Up The Bongo founder reached out to us with this entrancing material to help Kyiv’s humanitarian fund “Grains of Peace”, started by “20ft radio”."

Diaoul (A Strange Wedding Remix)

First solo release by the side project of Danilo & JAI.
5 raw and stretch out tracks with very few elements and minimal mixing. A personal tribute to early 90's progressive techno music, with an euro house feeling.

BF Treatment - Statement

Truly inspired by "The Year of Fear' and by all the post-atomic, apocalyptic and cinematic imagery and fed by B movies and the dystopian reality on the street. The title track revolves around a stunting vibe, with soundtracks samples, hypnotic voices and “end of the world” explosions, while the remix by Italo Disco rising star Daniel Monaco takes us to a contaminated beach from a Joe D’Amato’s movie, between twilight atmosphere and car rides in Miami. Cobra Verde (inspired by Werner Herzog’s cult movie) is an electro weapon, minimal and groovy, ready to strike with darkling pads and dubby echos, its mood reminds of a zombie breakdancing in Wall Street. The remix by heavyweight Hard Ton is for hot jumpers. Male vocals, groovy synths and the unlimited will to make the dance floor great again.

No doubt "Apocalisso!" is the soundtrack of the times.
