It may be often said, but when it comes to Argy ‘saving the best till last’ is most certainly true. After a monster year that saw him release the critically-acclaimed 'Interior Journey’ album, which included the breakout single ‘Ketuvim’, the mercurial producer now brings the project to a fitting finale with a full release dedicated to the club smash.

As with all the ‘Interior Journey’ remixes to date, the EP has been a process of careful A&R consideration as Argy explains, “We thought long and hard about who to invite on this EP. It was important we didn’t have a collection of remixes that were variations on the same theme, so I’m absolutely delighted with the results; we’ve ended-up with incredible reworks that cover
that essential trinity of MH&T, Indie and Electronica.” And what a trinity it is!

Ae:ther proves why he’s one of the most exciting prospects in melodic techno with a remix that deftly weaves peak time power with melodic beauty. “Argy and I were in close contact throughout the production,” he explains, “unlike other remixes, the creative process came together very quickly; I immediately realised I wanted to create a ‘crescendo’ track. I had real fun re-imagining the deeper roots of the renowned original into something more melodic and cosmic, which is exactly what he wanted.”

Next, the track gets the indie treatment from two of the genre’s most revered exponents, Chaim and Jenia Tarsol. The duo are very close friends of Argy and actually had a preview of ‘The Interior Journey’ album before most, which they happily admit, “When Argy played us the album pre-release we asked if we could remix ‘Ketuvim’ straight away. At that time we had
no idea the original was going to go on to become a summer breakthrough, it just leapt out at us. We immediately knew we could do something cool and interesting with it.”

Electronica honours go to Italy’s fastest-rising duo, Glowal and, once again, the remix was a result of close collaboration, “Argy and Renaissance set us a challenge with the remix,” they confirm, “they already had the other remixes under commission, so specifically asked us to put our breaks hat on, which as our fans may know, are partial to anyway. We’re really happy with how it turned out.

LuCasa - We Are Near Now

Making his debut on Sarah Wild’s Midnight Operators is @etcha-1. The Dutch born/ Berlin based producer delivers three dance floor tools for different timings and a mental rave rework by Italian stallion Younger Than Me.
‘Four the Trance’ is an ode to the hectic cycling of late 90s Tour de Frances, where doping and heroic battles dominated the head over heals racing without helmets. A straight beat underpinned by a meaty bass line, a cacophony of bleeps & blops and synth lines that seems to be blown away by strong headwinds.
Gearing things into a contrasting direction is ‘Modem Handshake’. A synthetic electro roller incorporating the dial up sound of an internet modem. Common occurrence in the early years of consumer computers and a sound of a world turning digital. But also a sound of making human connection possible through cybernetic means. Could this sound have a deeper sense for the longing of being connected?
The trippy ’Sumatra Cerebral’ is based around the recordings of birds that are endemic to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The track is about blurring the lines between what is synthetic and what is natural. Taking into question how mankind has influenced the natural world’s communication? Made in pandemic times (where travel was almost impossible). The track conveys the longing for tropical exoticism to a place that has not been visited. Just like anemoia is the nostalgia for non-personally known times.
Rounding off the EP is ‘Sumatra Cerebral (@youngerthanme ‘Mental Rave’ Remix)’. An uptempo future rave track with a simple & effective bass line that utilises the original samples, encapsulating the listener in a mix of natural and synthetic. It strikes a delicate tension between confusion and propulsion but remains mentally uplifting.

ITALO MODERNI brings Xmas III EDIZIONE

https://italomoderni.bandcamp.com/album/italo-moderni-edits-iii-xmas-edizione

it's the third compilation on digital with a quality mastering on that super rare italo-electro utterance, perfect for dancefloors or mixes. Another trippy strings and arps, throat singing and ecstatic chanting all around.
We have edits from the likes of SKATEBÅRD, Hysteric, Adrian Marth, Flemming Dalum, Franz Scala, Sneaker, Katmandu, Vinilette. All tracks have been carefully edited without overdubs, in order to bring the spirit of classic italo disco and reflect the real underground vibe from the age.

Shock - R.E.R.B (Enzio Etchaberri 'Cosmotorcycle' Edit)

The compilation starts with Jakob Mäder’s new track, Morning Sun. The Stuttgart-based artist produced a clear and super emotional house anthem. The tune evolves nicely, following its
touching synths and high energy bass. Its name says it all, probably one of the nicest tracks to play at early morning when the sun rises on the dancefloor. The second track is a more complex mix of italo basslines and rave pads & breaks, winking at the great work of influential artists as Skatebard. While we are still waiting for the summer, with “July Nights North of Bergen” Enzio Etchaberri sends us back to an ocean of memories made of endless nights spent dancing till we fall asleep. The EP closes with ValAir, Mister T. records label owner,’s first track on the label. Choir Offense is an interesting mix, focusing first on powerful and organic drums, leading us through the tune. While it could have been
just another tool, the track reveals another dimension with its rave stabs giving it a deeper touch in direct line with the two other productions of the EP.

Musik Zum Tanzen really appears as a tribute to high energy italo-house and warehouse / rave aesthetics of dancers being in communion all night under the starlight and the bliss of early sunrises.
