Having just presented one of our recent Free Download tracks, we just couldn't wait to hear how Spanish talent would approach a mix for our InSession series. Followers of this growingly indemand artist may perhaps be surprised to hear his chosen direction, but this is by no means a bad thing as his recording will attest. It is clear from his usual DJ sets and of course his on point productions that Ildec is to become more than a force to be reckoned with.

Melding all manner of electro gems with forgotten classics such as “Rocker” and “Italian Fireflies” Ildec is not just an artist that pushes brand news sounds. This is a mix that treads the borders between Ambient, Electro, Italo, Synth Pop, and even New Wave. Ildec clearly knows his history as well as what it takes to craft a set with a more downtempo slant. With the BPM’s not ticking over into peak time mode there is no need to push the pedal right to the floor as Ildec gives a refreshing masterclass in refrained heat.

Deyayu (Jooice) - Rave New World #25

An accomplished artist, Elias Sternin is a name on the rise. This Uruguayan has, in recent times, become a much more regular fixture around Europe and beyond. With releases for the likes of Cupula Records, Mung Records, LeMaia, and then there is also Elias’ own label Ratiug Recordings. With his sound coming straight from his home country which seems to specialise in acid drenched house and techno Elias is also a very skilled digger. The result of his digging sessions is a refined sound that really sets him a part once he takes control of the DJ booth.

Going straight for the jugular from the off, Elias utilises his full tool kit of raw sine wave synth lines, earthquake inducing basslines, and pitched vocals but there is always a slight curve ball in the percussion. This is where his digging skills and Urugyiuan roots come into play as, regardless of the ferocity of the electronics there is always a little something that is not expected. This is the x-factor that will continue to shine a light on his name. This mix for InSession series is a true testament to this rising star.

After a short winter break, The Lumbago Saga is back with @heimylthelazerman, head honcho of 2 labels based in Lyon we highly recommend : @undergrooverecordslyon and @spookywookywax

In recent years, Lazer Man has flooded the Lyon scene with great music through these projects, regular parties, and dj performances around the city and beyond. With already a few releases under his belt as Lazer Man or his other moniker Heymil on top of that (Howl Records, Funk'on..), he has proven that he is truly a complete and dedicated producer and DJ.

By now, OTIS and Paul Lution should be well-known names, and perhaps if you have not caught them performing in solo mode or collectively, then you will have undoubtedly caught some of their studio output in recent months. Being part of the Outcast Torino extended family, both artists have been in high demand and with their powerful audio creations speaking volumes at the moment this is surely only going to grow and grow. Collectively, this duo combine their love of electronics, dancefloor knowledge and even instruments to form an outrageous live act called Punky and The Brain. Perhaps the 90s cartoon reference may be lost on some, their madcap sets fuse electric guitar, live synths, and vocoded vocals into something akin to a rock performance rather than an electro pairing.

For those that do remember the cartoon from the mid 90s, the opening track from their InSessions recording is a timely reminder before they launch into the main section of their set. With their sound sitting in the sweet spot between Italo, nu school electro, acid, and breaks OTIS and Paul quickly move the gears in order to present their full spectrum in quick succession. With the pair performing in safety specs and white lab coats there is a clear case of style and substance, not just one over the other.
