Behind the next release on Meant Records are Italian duo Boot & Tax, a relatively new pairing made up of Claudio Brioschi and Cristian Croce. Here they serve up three great originals baced with a stellar remix from Alien Alien.
Before now, Boot & Tax have released two extremely well received EPs on JD Twitch’s Optimo Trax and have also recently had their music licensed to Erol Alkan’s Fabric live 77, so the pair are really on the up.
Title track ‘Brace Brace’ is first and is an elastic, analogue workout with gurgling synth lines riding up and down atop steely drums as punky vocals come on at various intervals. Acid and electro, techno and house all get bottled up in the arrangement, which is fresh and just what you would expect of someone backed by JD Twitch.
The Alien Alien remix of this one is slow and trudging, purposeful and swampy. Snaking synths, coarse claps and a sense of foreboding pervade this most groovy of slo mo cuts.
‘Niente Per Niente’ is a dark but balearic feeling bit of chugging disco, with big licks and groaning bass all gliding along at an inviting tempo. Breathy female ad libs add a sense of character to the shadowy drums and ensure this one will set parties like ALFOS on fire. Lastly, ‘Balkan Youth’ gets much more cosmic with its flipping synths, twinkly melodies and rattling percussive patterns. Ascending ever higher, it takes you on a ride through the cosmos and dumps you out somewhere altogether happier.
This is sure to be a breakout release for Boot & Tax who seem right at the heart of the analogue disco revolution.

B2 - Boot & Tax - Balkan Youth (Original Mix)

The second installment of a subterranean warehouse series, reviving the raw energy of ‘90s raves, delivering dancefloor-driven electro.

A relentless, high-voltage ritual built for sweat-drenched warehouses and bodies that don’t quit, IDORU's 'Hex' surges forward with punishing basslines, frenetic percussion, and a hypnotic mantra looping like a spell cast under strobe-lit chaos.

IDORU - Hex (Original Mix)

The Madrid-based duo formed by Rama and Pedro, aka Teemon & Poomba, make their debut on Rotten City Files with the Stellar Rain EP, following their acclaimed work on labels like Música Cavernícola and Espacio Cielo. This release features two original tracks and two remixes by Psycho Weazel and Alvaro Cabana, offering an opportunity to revisit the "Euro Disco" roots and influences of the label.



"Meteoro Rain" is a track with an Italo vibe that, combined with Rosa's vocals, gives the song a retro character. A hopeful synth melody and modern production provide it with the necessary strength to shine on the dance floor without losing its nostalgic soul.



On the other hand, "Stellar Love" retains the Italo essence of the previous track but leans more into epic melodies and arpeggios. It shares the same nostalgic soul and power but is tailored for those who connect more with instrumental productions.



Label head honcho Alvaro Cabana reimagines the first track with a '90s groove, adding a faster tempo and a mood reminiscent of late-'90s Tech/Progressive House, with some nods to classic "Reese" productions (“Rock To the Beat”).



Closing the release, the Swiss duo Psycho Weazel (Exploited, Correspondant, Iptamenos) transforms Stellar Love into a peak-time bomb made for the dance floor, with a hypnotic, trance-like mood sure to delight the most devoted rave heads.

Teemon & Poomba  - Meteoro Rain feat. Rosa Venenosa [ROTTEN CITY Files]

Where does a footstep become transgression? When does a tone abandon its harmony and drift into noise?

At what precise instant does a sonic ripple shift from mere dissonance to true disturbance?

Práctica de Límites is a compelling meditation on boundaries—both territorial and tonal.

It draws a provocative parallel between the arbitrariness of geopolitical borders and the fragile thresholds within sound itself.

Through this exploration, it asks not just who belongs where, but what belongs when, sonically speaking.

Señora - Antiarmónica (MMB Remix) [Openthenext]

Kalipo - Alles

The fifth installment of a subterranean warehouse series, reviving the raw energy of ‘90s raves, delivering dancefloor-driven electro.
Faith sees IDORU refine dark electro and EBM into a sleek, hypnotic form. Anchored by a corrosive bassline and stripped back percussion, the track balances restraint with intensity. Its fizzy vocal presence adds to a sense of allure—composed, commanding, and unmistakably nocturnal. This one’s a smoldering invocation for strobe-lit dance floors.

Berny & Josefo - Bronco

The track 'Ghost Lover' by @zimmermusic  & Sébastien Boucher is part of EMO Dance Vol.1,  the first compilation from the @esmimomento label. 

The release is composed by five tracks that lay the foundation of Es Mi Momento's sonic identity: from slow, dark indie dance to fast, radiant trance, with vocal-driven melodies tinged with 80s influences.

It’s more than a compilation. It’s a manifesto.

Zimmer & Sebastien Bouchet - Ghost Lover [Es Mi Momento]


Radondo’s Chance EP — with Kay-Chi remix out on 6th August — features two standout tracks, “Doubt” and“Leather,” which perfectly capture his signature dark sound, weaving together his Italo, EBM, and New Beat influences with finesse.

We’re thrilled to welcome one of our truly favourite producers to the label once again: Kay-Chi. He brings his signature fast, chug-infused sound to his interpretation of Leather. Yet again, he’s delivered another masterpiece, adding to the growing body of work on the label and continuing to be an integral part of the Volition family.

Additional remixes as part of this release feature: Franz Scala, CLOSE PROXIMITY, Madd Rod.
