Alex Aguayo is Mahkina (SXDNS038), a moniker through which the Mexican rising star explores his 90s influences by delivering a sonority more devoted to Trance and early Rave combined with shards of Cosmic Disco. What a concoction, isn’t it? With previous appearances on vital labels such as Haunted Space, DistroKid, Maleante, and U’re Guay, he is now back on the Montevideo-based multi-genre imprint with a trippy and frenzied release: The EP consists of three highly mighty originals and three well-constructed remixes made with love by Gala, Manuel Sahagun, and Imanol, the label boss himself.

The track we chose to review/premiere is maybe the one that best expresses what Alex really intends to deliver under his new alias. “Autonomy” is above all hypnotic and feverish – exactly what is expected from the combination of his Trance & Rave influences. From his Cosmic Disco references, psychedelic and churning melodies supplied by the beautiful arpeggiated synth layers. The result: A peak-time cut devoted to putting big smiles on people’s faces!

PREMIERE: Alphanova - Body Talk (Miguel de Bois Remix) - [SHARPED RECORDS]

On Polari 019 , Cormac welcomes Jordan Nocturne to his imprint Polari: Dolly EP Drops Digitally on October 27th. The iconic imprint is set to unleash a three-track playful force.

Jordan Nocturne on the release and meeting Cormac;

“I first encountered Cormac about 15 years ago when I was a resident at an after-hours queer party called Yello and he was a regular guest. Many years later we bonded over high energy house and disco. I thought it was a nice touch to pay homage to those times, and there's another tip of the hat to Belfast party starters Ponyhawke who have carried the mantle for diverse and inclusive dancefloors in Belfast here in 2023.  The lead track is a collaboration with a Ukrainian artist, Ready in LED and it had Polari written all over it. Olya is a superstar and I’m very excited to be working with her.”

Ready in LED who has recently released on Polari herself, has made a stellar contribution to Jordan‘s forthcoming EP, she lends her extraordinary vocal prowess to the opening track, "Over & Over," infusing it with captivating strength. As the EP unfolds, "Yello" and "Ponyhawke" follow suit, as Jordan embarks on a playful journey of reinterpreting and paying homage to the rich legacy of Hi-NRG...  more

Port Manteau - Polar

Back to sunrise vibes - the Glitter side of the project.
It’s been months since I’ve last released an edit which, as you know, is one of my favorite studio delights.

Lovelock is the moniker of Steve Moore, a major musician and producer in the synth/movie scene. His Burning Feeling album from 2012 is a new-wave and italo masterpiece which contains many gems, among which Love Reaction. This tune caught my attention because of this intoxicating chorus. 💫

This edit embodies pure high-energy vibes to be enjoyed without restraint!

INCOMING : Amarcord - Sacrificio #MINITEL
BUY : https://hypeddit.com/minitel/sacrificio
Release date : 2024-06-28

After finally being able to watch “Starting a music label for dummies” on our good ol’ Videocassette Recorder, we felt that the time had come for our 4+ year-old media to get up to speed and embark on a new journey.

Today, we are delighted to welcome Amarcord – one of our top artists – on our very first EP.

Marco Catapano is an Italian producer, DJ and live performer. His music – floating in a realm between romantic lullabies and dark atmospheres – translates a deep love for the sounds of the past such as New Wave, Post-Punk and Krautrock, reinvented through the perspective of electronic and dance music modern waves.

Also a cinema lover, his EP “Sacrificio” tells a fantastic two-act story.

The EP’s first act “Sacrificio” is a track where powerful bass lines intertwine with a killer kick, trance synth tones and melodic layers enhanced by Marco’s voice, giving it some dramatic yet harmonious tension.

The second and final act “See Them Go” is a splendid Indie-Pop ballad with an airy New Wave influence. It’s a happy ending in a very different style than Sacrificio’s, showing Marco’s wide range of creativity.

Grazie mille Signore Amarcord.

After spending the summer traveling across France in our Renault Fuego convertible, we're back at the top of our game for our third EP.

We're delighted to hand over the keys to Austher, a rising star on the French and international indie scene, for a beautiful ballad with his banger "Don't look back": a killer bass line, a summery melody and a groove between EBM, indie and trance.

In the backseat, Chinaski delivers a remix with a first part full of tension and progression, a classy Daft Punk-style break and a vibrant arpeggio in the final curve.

The mirror's shattered... Don't Look Back.

Merci Aurélien
Danke Stefan
