Some things only happen once in a lifetime, sometimes twice....Who knows....

'Too Much to Match' is a unique compilation, perhaps unrepeatable, made up of single songs from different producers from diverse geographical and aesthetic backgrounds. 7 original tracks that make up a musical archipelago, a set of islands united by the same thing that separates them. Gems of an irreducible singularity, powerful and very danceable whose character goes beyond any traditional label or defined territory. Get ready to explore unknown sonic landscapes from all corners of the world: Petr Stancl (Czech Republic), BĘÃTFÓØT (Tel Aviv), Orchid (Russia // Moscow), Iñigo Vontier (Mexico // Guadalajara), Oblako Maranta (A-Tweed + Andrey from Radial Gaze // Italy + Russia), Zombies In Miami, Joseeph (Mexico) and Persona RS & Bojarchük (Chile + Lithuania).

Too much to be true? Yes...Too Much To Match!

Too Much To Match

Bitterness (Original Mix)

Persona RS & Bojarchük - Bitterness (Original Mix)

Tonight the moon took up the entire sky, illuminating the dark streets of the city below. From their window they watched the night as it flowed from dusk to dawn, imagining themselves floating beyond the universe; living beyond the stars. How wonderful it would be to drift up above the cosmos and away from the world, they thought to themselves, in their own continuous orbit with the sun, the moon and the stars. 

The beginning of this year marked Toulouse-based label Ritmo Fatale's third year of existence. The imprint, run by Kendall and Paul Guglielmi, is celebrating the occasion with the release of a sprawling two-part compilation which showcases many of the sounds that make up the past, present and future of Ritmo's world. Making pitstops in places like Indonesia, Spain, Morocco and Czech Republic, over two releases Epifania connects the dots between Italo, synth wave, progressive trance and 80s-influenced sonics, from artists including Cyda, Blutch, Kiara Scuro on part one, and Zaatar زَعْتَر , Cosmic G and Laurence Matte on its successor.

PREMIERE: Laurence Matte - Men In Orbit [Ritmo Fatale]

A flock of birds took flight across the sky, dipping and weaving in unison until they were out of sight beyond the cliffs. The terrain was bold and colourful; huge towering green trees shot up into the heavens, below a flowing stream of clear blue water meandered through various species of flowers and chattering insects. The sheer expanse of this landscape took his breath away, it was a far cry from the cityscapes he knew so well. It remained untouched by human hands, not tampered with for commercial gain - here nature was in charge. 

Up next on non-profit label Sinchi it's a close member of the collective's family, Hary Shanthi. Marking his second release on the label, following 2021's Sivapuranam (​ச​ி​வ​ப​ு​ர​ா​ண​ம​்​), this new single 'Urumi' is another window into the psyche of a deep thinking, technically skilled producer. The slowly unfurling opus, which is peppered with hypnotic acid lines, synth leads and percussion is a homage to his Indian culture and '"the non-dualistic nature" of Kashmir Shaivism, a philosophical system that emerged in India around the 12th Century'. It comes complete with remixes from MR TC and Tushen Raï and, as always, all money from sales will be donated to the Sinchi Foundation which supports indigenous people across the world.

Berlin's Micropacer makes his return to Exploited Club - following releases on Kendal's Ritmo Fatale, Johannes Albert's Frank Music and Cormac's Polari with 3 slices of pure, unadulterated joy. 

'Splash' kicks off, oozing with sass as an irresistible Italo bass struts along with a square edged heel. Rousing strings swell as a giddy tension bubbles towards a hairs-on-the-neck breakdown that pops to rapturous effect. Synths sparkle, while chopped vocals adorn the melody. All the while that bass maintains its swagger until the end. 

'Foreign Affairs' follows up with more early 80s flair. Here, a fervid piano riff takes the limelight as it shifts through heartstring chords, rubbing sweaty shoulders with stabs and a vocoder. Filters dip the piano as it sinks towards another jubilant drop. 

'Schöne Zeit' closes things up with more bright, spicy drums. The Disco kit kicks in all the right places, propelling another gorgeous tapestry of sound built from swirling tones and sunbeam stabs. Another breakdown unfolds with pure peak-time energy, giving way to flurry of serotonin rounding off a pack of reliable, retro bangers aimed directly under the disco ball.

ITALO TANZ Records is a side sublabel of Golden Soul Records. It was created by James Rod and reflects his fascination for the darker and more cosmic currents of Italodisco, Hi Energy and space oriented club music.

James Rod, born Jaime Rodríguez Navarro in Extremadura and now based in Berlin, has built a reputation as a producer and DJ with a distinct melodic touch. His work moves between Italo, nu disco, house and future disco. Golden Soul Records became his home for warm, synth driven disco and left field rhythm structures. ITALO TANZ Records grew out of his wish to explore a more nocturnal identity. It became the place where he channels the intensity of classic drum machine energy, the pull of retro futuristic arpeggios, and the atmosphere of deep cosmic club culture.

ITALO TANZ Records stands for a sound that feels nostalgic yet forward leaning. It is a label for people who want to experience the mysterious side of Italo. The music invites the listener into a space where neon light meets starlit tension and where the essence of the eighties merges with a darker and more hypnotic interpretation of Hi Energy.

JUNO REVIEW: Fresh from delivering a suitably intoxicating chunk of feverish tribal techno on their own Belly Dance Services stable, Hanzo & Yaman bring their trademark brand of percussive dance music to Tom Tom Disco. Title track "Tropicalas" is notably different to its predecessor, with the pair layering up wonky chants and South American style percussion over a looped synth bassline. It's hugely endearing and celebratory all told, and comes backed with two bonus cuts: the hypnotic ethno-techno throb of "Titaporn" and the quirky nu-disco/percussive house bounce of "Hola Hola". Of the trio of accompamying remixes, we're particularly enjoying the loose, acid-flecked breakbeat shuffle of Lily Haz's rework of "Titaporn" and Tony Disco's exotic, Middle Eastern disco revision of "Tropicala".

PREMIERE – Thomas Von Party – Ritmo (Tyu Bronceado Remix) ( Party Central)

AEON is nearing its 50th release. Before we touch that big number, we would like to share a fine record by the honcho himself, Alex Niggemann. The inspiration behind this release was found in experimenting with a vocoder. Alex explains: “society might have us all as robots if we didn’t take care to be open minded - both musically and in general. That was the inspiration and it was great fun to make.”. A view that fits the current zeitgeist perfectly.
The futuristic theme is felt from the offset, as the forward-thinking sound of „Like A Robot“ gets underway. Reverberating beats blend into echoing machine-like vocal samples, before chiming keys give way to a stunning lead synth that feels both emotive and danceable in one. The vocoded vocals meeting a plea to replace the human race with robots, cause the track to have a rather dystopian notion. 
The ‘Technology’ vibe is inspired by late 80ies breakbeat tracks. Once the beat is in full range with the sparkling & upclimbing synths, pictures of vintage B-boys & girls videos, making their acrobatic dance moves, are projected in our minds. A slight twist brings the classic Juno 6 lead synth characterizing the main part.  
For the remix, AEON invited Fabrizio Mammarella, who’s known from his release on DFA, Permanent Vaca- tion or Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondent as well as his collaborations with Lauer as Black Spuma. Mam- marella’s version of ‘Technology’ transforms the break beats in a solid 4 to the floor groove, while the more electro sounding bassline of the original is replaced with a classic Italo inspired synth sequencer that un- doubtedly will please the crowd on the dancefloor. 
The last original track of this EP is called ‘Shepherds’ named after those who control. Poignant strings dive in and out, while the constant loopy groove could bring back memories of musically inspired „Moroder“ nights at good old Studio 54. 
The 49th release on AEON is again a complete pack by the Berlin label.
