ACUD taktet seinen ersten Langzeitspieler mit dem erfrischenden Lied Supermarkt auf!
Der Berliner Musiker, bildende Künstler (fast Diplom) und Labelbetreiber Lasse Winkler aka ACUD hat mit Titeln wie MATJESFILET oder VERBRENNUNGSMOTOR auf sich aufmerksam gemacht. Er zeigt, das elektronische Tanzmusik durchaus Humor haben kann, ohne im Klamauk zu enden. Stilistisch schwer einzuordnen, eckt er zeitweise hier und da an Genres wie IndieDance, Downtempo und AcidHouse an. Knarzende Bässe und swingende Rhythmen aus alten Drum-Machines treffen auf warme analoge Synth-Chords und unterstützen seine helle Stimme. Das Mikrofon, immer einsatzbereit, ersetzt seinen Notizblock. Es entstehen knappe, spontane Schlagwörter, Sätze, den Alttag aufschnappend. 

Die nun erste Single seines im Februar 23’ erscheinenden Albums VERDAMMT NOCHMAL beschäftigt sich mit den einfachen Dingen des Lebens: Supermarkt. Dieses Mal ist es aber kein Matjes, den er sich im besagten besorgt. Nein, jetzt wo der hohe Sommer vor der Tür steht, steigt sein Bedarf an Zitronen und Quark- immer Garant für den von ihm besungenen guten Tag. Dass diese Single sich in Bauch und Beine spielen wird, ist nicht nur den warmknarzenden Beats, die noch jeden aus dem Bett schleifen würden, und dem klaren Optimismus seiner Stimme gegeben. Auch das einhergehende Musikvideo, in dem u.A. die Schauspielerin DEBORAH KAUFMANN (Dark) zu sehen ist, zeigt auf, dass ACUD mit Single und Platte wieder und jetzt so richtig da ist!

We’re kicking off the new year in style with a fantastic new double header by RAXON. This Egypt-born, barcelonese powerhouse has left his scent marks all over the place in recent years. He has developed an instantly recognizable sound and that’s no small feat in these times shaped by so much formulaic dullness. “Your Fault” sees our Catalan hot shot in an exuberant disco mood. Mind bending chord progressions foiled with Raxon’s trademark vocal stutters guarantee for wonderfully twisted hands in the air moments. With “Beskar” we’re entering Star Wars nerd territory. Jedipedia says, Beskar is a uniquely resistant iron that develops a wide range of properties - and colors - in the hands of skilled metalsmiths. Alright. Musically speaking, we’re dealing with a stealthy, funky as hell trance-not-trance juggernaut. 2024 is off to a good start!

Multi Culti shine light on one of the key players of the Lithuanian scene with ‘V’’s ‘Voyage Voyage.’ 

Venerated mystery man V stands for many things, but first and foremost: Vilnius. Resident at Opium Club & Gallery 1986, founder of Ant Bangos, Alfavilnius and OLE Festivals, creator of Silence Music, Best Kept Secret and Le Temps Perdu labels - the artist formerly known as 'Vidis’ has been a mainstay in Lithuanian music for over 20 years, a talented curator, community builder and, of course, DJ.

With ‘Voyage Voyage’, V crystallizes his musical aesthetics, presenting a stripped-down mix of 80s new wave and 2000s electro  - influences no doubt familiar to the legions of Lithuanian fans that have been chugging along to his sets for the last 20+ years. 

On ‘Avventura,’ V enlists Domenique Dumont for a cinematic instrumental, with a new-wave indie bass-line sailing us past epic strings and contrapuntal melodies in dreamy nostalgic fashion. 

Multi Culti co-founder Dreems jumps in to the deep end on ‘Kosmische Muzik,’ a rollicking jam that combines the pastoral psychedelic feeling of Krautrock with industrial prog-tronica.

There’s enough variety in this triptych to keep things interesting while still feeling cohesive, a skillful set of tracks that showcases V’s vast experience while pointing to this being very much the beginning for him as a producer.

Guilty Measures

IDORU - Love Slave (Sherø Remix) (Radio Edit)

The second single from Theus Mago’s forthcoming album MUN/SEA has arrived — and it’s a bold, genre-warping statement. "Casa Furiosa", a collaboration with fellow sonic adventurer Kubebe, is a hypnotic ride through dark disco, tribal grooves, and raw analog energy.

Built for sweat-soaked dancefloors and late-night festival moments, Casa Furiosa surges with percussive tension, distorted basslines, and a haunting vocal loop that grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. It's fierce, it's furious — and it sets the tone for what’s to come on MUN/SEA.

Dropping on Amsterdam’s forward-thinking imprint DGTL, this single marks a vital step in Mago’s most ambitious project yet.

Paco Osuna’s record label, Mindshake, presents a funk-infused tech house EP by La Madone, which features two solo tracks plus a collaboration with WeMart.

Based in France, La Madone is making her Mindshake debut following music on other respected imprints. Her style layers funky basslines underneath flowing percussion, laying a foundation for the infectious vocals that are trademark to her sound.

La Madone is famed for her unforgettable DJ sets, and has played international shows everywhere from Ibiza to Bangkok.

One of the three tracks on this release is a collaboration with WeMart who’s a Mindshake regular, making his third appearance on the record label. He has a hip hop-inspired sound that has been a regular feature of Paco Osuna’s DJ sets.

"Enough (You My B!tch Now)" is the EP's title track, and it’s a percussive track with in-your-face vocals and a funky bass guitar.

INFO: 
Rydim is a mystery. Well, partly… One thing that isn’t a mystery is the high level of acid house authenticity at play here. Dark, heads-down strobe light seduction with the focus squared firmly on the soul of the dance. 

‘FOMO’ lives up to its name thanks to some ominous reese craft. Purring savagely throughout the track, leaving space for the sinewy 303s to dance wildly, it sucks you right in and spits you back out into the lasers at speed. Miss it, miss out. 

Don’t miss either Johannes Albert’s remix or the Bass Tool either; the former maintains the acid but re-shapes the bass into a warmer vibe while the latter strips everything back to that growing, heated bassline. Both will leave everyone in the house happy… 

Finally we have ‘Fairlight’. A homage to the mother of all samplers? That’s another mystery to solve. But we do know it’s another beauty from Ridym; naked beats and bass with crucial pads woven in for optimum breath-takes, every rush any dancer has ever felt since the 80s is saluted and celebrated right here. Rydim is a dancer…
