JG Outsider - Together

After a release that did not go unnoticed on Ulla Records first VA “In Motion”, Austher is back with his debut EP “Hybrid Humans”.

His first standalone project flirts with a dystopian, transhumanist and dark-disco-inspired universe. Always blending genres, he subverts the codes of rock and disco with electronic sonorities, to craft his retro-inspired yet resolutely modern sound.

The opening track “Hybrid Humans” sets the stage for the transhumanist journey to come : arpeggiated basslines, catchy leads and bouncing drums making up for an ambiguous, bitterly naive, track. But the reality check comes quickly. “Mind Threat” promptly sets for a much darker tone, with heavy driven basslines, dramatic synths and intense build-ups. “Humanity Resilience” takes this dystopian road a step further. Shaped around hypnotizing melodies, this track pushes up to the edge of rationality. “Prophecy” strikes as a final statement, fully embracing the experimental turn this journey has taken, with its heavy synths, and gnarly acid basslines !

Abandon all preconceptions you have about the future, and dive in Austher’s transhumanist story !

PREMIERE : Austher - Prophecy

REES delivers his debut EP 'Enter The Realm' for Berlin-based AEON. After a well received track contribution to AEON's 'Lost Tapes Vol. 4', the Paradiso Records honcho now serves three original cuts oozing with his trademark radiant energy. On the remix front, Curses delivers an incredible take on the EP's title track, injecting his deadly blend of New Wave and Post Punk magic.

REES - Enter The Realm EP (Incl. Curses Remix) [AEON053]

Premiere: REES - Enter The Realm (Curses Remix) [AEON]

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/

Black Flamingo Disco Driver & Marzian present Arp Battery, their first collaboration EP forging an electronic alliance that explores the most intimate paths of psychedelia and uplifting beats of the future. Berlin label ODD Pleasures continues to consolidate itself as a reference label and presents in this release 2 originals and 4 powerful remixes by artists such as Freudenthal, Adrian Marth, Disco Mortale and Random Atlas.

Arp Battery is a track designed for the rush hour of the night, characterized by a powerful bass chained to infectious rhythms and luminous leads that take the dancer to an unknown state of mind. Yarara is the second original of this work, in which the artists expose a dark vision and a dystopian atmosphere at a low revolution bpm.

In charge of the remixes, the artists invited to this sonic delight have contributed tracks that are true gold. Freudenthal makes Arp Battery a very atmospheric track in which he transforms the original into a progressive sonic journey ideal for a sunset. Adrian Marth, the current king of Italo disco, brings out all his heavy artillery and collection of lush synthesizers in the form of a new beat banger, which transports us to the best of the 80's sounds driven by massive electro beats and obscure synths. Disco Mortale presents his demonic and thuggish side to create a killer bomb, straight to explode a dance floor with its frenetic rhythm. Rounding up the release, ODD Pleasures’s bosses, Random Atlas join this board of specialists with their own vision of Yarara, presenting a lisergic trip, an organic journey of haunted melodies and textures. A blend of exotic twisted vibes with an elegant powerful presentation.

INCOMING : Franz Scala - Overflash #XXX

Release date : 2021-11-26

On the A side we have the original tracks starting with
Split Secs - Accept The Answer which is quite the slow burner, easy building up and keeping you in a state of bewilderment with weird synths, sounds and melancholic vocals floating around.

When you're still reminiscing about the first track, Franz Scala decides to up the game with his ‘Overflash’ that contains a kick that makes the walls of every room buzz. His familiar sound can be heard throughout the whole track and will for sure make every dancefloor move.

Moving over to the AA side, Split Secs has made an absolute stellar of a remix of Franz Scala unrecognizable but surely not less danceable original. Heavy bassline, dark and dreamy pads and funky percussion alternate each other in this remix which can be described in so many words, but is best to just start listening to. 

Which is exactly what also should be done to the remix by Franz Scala. Taking the slow burner by Split Secs to another tempo and level by adding his familiar sound but what makes this track so special is the synths that have been perfectly applied and will bring some heat and sweat to the dancefloor.

A fun project that was long in the making and happy it can see the light of day.

INCOMING : Franz Scala - Overflash #XXX

Moments flicker and dissolve like breath on glass—fragile, weightless, and infinitely brief. Each motion drifts between clarity and disappearance, painting light that forgets itself. In the space where sound fades and memory lingers, beauty becomes the art of letting go.

The EP is supported by Avacha resident Panorama Channel with a broken beat remix for ‘’Inspektor Krause’’ and an Italian producer A-Tweed with his version of the title track.
