The third and final volume of Freeride Millenium's forward-thinking IMPACT series arrives on February 25th. It is packed with left-of-centre electronic sounds from Rotciv, Chinaski, Matisa, Zombies in Miami and Nikkname.
The idea behind the Impact collection is to highlight the dance floor's importance as a place for creative thinking, sexual liberation and multicultural amplification. This was brought into sharp relief during lockdown when label boss Jorkes and Lisa Jäger had to cancel their HOT all-gender sauna parties in Vienna. It left them and their community with nowhere to go and gave rise to ‘Impact’, as well as discussions at the WAF Galerie that Lisa co-curates. Each volume has come in tandem with its own talk with subjects including 'clubs as places for freedom and emancipation.'
This final volume opens up with Rotciv. He is well known to heady crowds at places like Panorama Bar, Robert Johnson and the Cocktail D’Amore parties, and also runs the Mister Mistery label when he blends acid, techno, electro and disco. 'Dirty Coast' is a rugged and twisted dark disco stomper with flashes of synth, gurgling bass and trippy electronics. Stefan Haag aka Chinaski aka S-F-X is a sound and visual artist, a resident at Robert Johnson and a regular on the Frankfurt club's own imprint. His excellent 'Power, Flower, Violence and Shower' shoots for the stars with its cosmic synth rays, colourful disco arps and elastic bass ensuring you move every bone in your body. Born in Rome, now based in Florence, Matisa has long been attuned to the intersection of music and style and has shown it in her music on labels like Optimo Music, Biologic Records and Butter Sessions. Her 'Supernova' is a supersized track with big piano chords, techno drums and chopped-up vocals all bringing the party. Mexico's Zombies In Miami are label regulars and live artists with a dark and alluring club sound. With 'One More Time' they take the dance floor on a widescreen trip to the cosmos with rugged basslines, chattery claps uplifting old-school chords. Last of all comes another friend of the label in Vienna-based Greek artist Nikkname who alongside label boss Jorkes has released on Curses’ Ombra INTL label. His nine-minute futuristic masterclass 'Seeing Morphs' layers up serene chords and smooth grooves that are ripe for introspection as well as heads-down dancing. 
This fantastic final instalment completes the vital Impact series in style and once again comes with artwork from Daniel Rajcsany.

IMPACT - Volume 3

PREMIERE : Rotciv - Dirty Coast

Tronik Youth - Feb Mix 2022

Focusing on an exquisite combination of Disco-influenced Deep House gems and Italo-infused Indie Dance cuts, the London-based label Midnight People has been delivering top-notch material since its birth in 2020. With a mix of acclaimed and established artists plus rising and promising stars, the output of the British imprint is definitely something. And for its forthcoming instalment, Midnight opens its doors to Parallel, a skilled British producer who brought a proper pack of delicious originals to showcase his sonority. On the remix duties, bold and creative Birds injects some Post-Punk, New Wave attitude to deliver a powerful interpretation of “Seven Close Suns”, the title track.

“Thermal readings are very high due to the action of seven close suns. What a strange planet”. 

If you are a vintage anime aficionado as Parallel himself is, you have probably heard about “Ulysses 31”, a 1981 French-Japanese series that adapts the Greek mythology of Odysseus (known as "Ulysses" in Latin) to the 31st century. The EP dives into space and technology themes, incorporating sounds and dialogues from the series, arranged over driving Italo basslines and bouncing hi-hats.

We decided to review the most cosmic piece of the release: The so-called Moon Version of “Seven Close Suns”. Its trippy and atmospheric aura transports us to the universe of “Ulysses 31” and to the rich and ingenious realm of Parallel, who decided to deliver not one, but two interpretations of his own work – something definitely not so usual to see. Kudos!

Roam Recordings kicks off 2022 with up and coming Canadian artist RJ Maxwell who brings forth two original electronic dance floor movers. The title track - Motherboard - is a driving energetic offering with melodic electronic underpinnings. The second original - Activate - is an upbeat chugger with a playful vocal. The EP is backed with three diverse remixes. The first is from Wonder Stories boss AIMES who infuses dark psychedelic energy into a shimmering remix of the original title track. For the second remix Canadian cohorts jON2 join in with a gorgeous low slung version of Motherboard. Rounding it out is Roam’s own Jason Peters who edges Activate into cosmic breaks territory.

One of the most important traits at Quixotical Records is uniqueness, music that stands out. No exception is the latest release "Pilots Lounge" by Nickelson who perfectly fulfills the vision of how it should sound. Two original tracks "Negative Energy" and "Pilots Lounge" with two remixes by the founder of Cowbell Radio - Ed Mahon and head of In Dark We Trust - Berny, make this release an absolute banger for the dark disco dance floor.

Bold and brave attempt, tries to be more than the primary source. Intimidation and projection of self-reliance are the main means of propulsion. Not as exquisite as the original, very mature in a sense of presenting what it is. This is one of those situations, where the so-called copy of an original work, is attempting to step over the bounds and propose, that it's a higher-caliber, more polished piece of art. Distancing is a unique quality of this remix, and it can be a perfect governor, but so as the roots. I believe, both of those things were well balanced and the result is as pleasing as it can be.

PREMIERE : Nickelson - Pilots Lounge (Ed Mahon Remix)

Tencion returns to Manual Deep with his stunning new single Nothing Is Real. The original mix leads with broken electro-infused rhythms and a raw, emotive edge. Niki Sadeki follows with a daring remix, expertly navigating the space between electronica and techno with her signature experimental flair. Closing the release, Tencion offers the Balearica Mix, a beatless, ambient reimagining that invites listeners into a more introspective soundscape.
