MM Cast 01: POMPELOPE

We are very happy to welcome the guys from Pompelope for the first episode of our MM Casts. 

Pompelope was born out of the gatherings of a bunch of friends who had a passion for the four to the floor in the Belleville bargains basements. Party organizers and record pushers in their spare time, they distribute sets which range from house to disco and from downtempo to HI-NRG, as long as people dance.

Since this collaborative project from members of Limbe records, SeekSickSound and Sour records started their story, they've been releasing remarkable series of podcasts featuring artists from the likes of Tim Sweeney, Trepanado, Beppe Loda and Telephones among others.

One thing is more than clear, and that's the passion for music that this collective print on every single thing that they bring to the light. They've recently launched the first release as a label with an amazing "V.A" that includes astonishing works signed by Franz Scala, Running Hot, Hysteric, Volantis and Kito Jempere to name a few.

On this MM Cast 01 that the french guys have been cooking for us, downtempo with sunny-nostalgic vibes and polyrhythmic sounds will be the leitmotiv. A "dance not dance" mix that could be enjoyed either alone with headphones or in group that want to share gathering vibes.

MM Cast 03: RAFA

Spanish born dj, Rafa has built thru the years a vast knowledge of electronic (and not electronic) music, this obsessed digger has one of the most "well-handpicked" record collections in Berlin. His addiction to vinyls is well reflected on his sets where Rafa vary from Balearic to House, elektro, wave and some (almost) forgotten gems.

If we talk about Rafa we must mention "Way to Calypso", what it started as a brand of selected dj mixes where the Balearic Beat was the main character, evolved into an amazing youtube channel where to get lost in. A notorious music library made for the ones who loves to discover new music every day and where our friend Rafa shows a little slice of his huge record collection.

He has signed some mixes for infamous label and radio "Cómeme" where the spanish dj shows his skills entering in darker territories as Trance, new beat and synth wave.

Rafa has shared the booth with dj's from the likes of Vladimir Ivkovic, JASS and Estimulo to name a few and, last but not least, he is also one of the minds behind the berliner party collective "Ceremony", brand that has earned itself a great reputation on the underground local scene.

A man who feels the music in a different way, basically wakes up and goes to bed with some beat in his hears, constantly moving forward on the long way to Calypso.

TRACKLIST:

1- Residentes Balearicos "Il Respiro"
2- Peyote Dreams "State of Mind" (Slack Mix) Roza Terenzi’s Slow Buck

MM Cast 02: COYOTE

Is it Balearic? Recordings' capos Timm Sure and Ampo have been on the "Balearic Scene" even before the word "Balearic" got fashionable some years ago.  They started as djs in the early 90's becoming residents at the historical "Venus" in Nottingham, it was in 2002 when they became producers and from then on they started producing tracks under the moniker Coyote, being responsable of notorious works signed on "International Feel", "Needwant" and "Music for Dreams" to name a few, and of course on their own imprint "Is It Balearic? Recordings"

Was in 2006 when "IIB?" started and since then, and a long with the sublabels "Über" and "Magic Wand", 15 years of pure Balearic Bliss where the "brithish-downtempo-maestros" have featured artists from the likes of Max Essa, Danielle Baldelli, Dj Rocca, Bonnie & Klein, Mori Ra and Anton Klint to name a few.

2021 has been a very prolific year for Coyote, delivering an amazing EP "Return to life" and another remixes ep of their LP "Buzzard Country", both records on "Is It Balearic? Recordings". They also have been working for MM Discos doing a magical rework of Bonnie & Klein's Albatros

The contribution of the Nottingham based producers to the scene is unquestionable and crucial, being a constant influence for dj's and producers who decided to move forward with the sound that artists like Dj Alfredo, Paul Oakenfold or Jose Padilla discovered back in the days from the "white Island" to rest of the world.

When we talk about their sound, a question comes to our head,,"Is it Balearic?", of course it is, but more than this, this is COYOTE Sound!!

TRACKLIST:
1. Chari Chari - Tokyo
2. When Doves Cry - Strange World
3. Gloden Bug Feat Liminanas - Variation Sur 3 Bancs (Superpitcher remix)
4. Begin Bassballs
5. Bjarno - Factor 30
6. The Barking Dogs Vs. Jessie Evans - Let me on (Rune Lindbaek & Mental Overdrive Mix)
7. JU/NA - Eco e Narciso
8. The Very Polish Cut outs - Zaopiekujsiemna
9. Polocorp - Gnawa - (Dombrance remix)
10. Cosmic Garden - Aphrodisiaca
11. Pejzaz - Battyk - (Freux Remix)
12. Bottin - Do Be my feet (Feat Leo Mas)
13. R.O.P - Feel Me

MM CAST 04: Franz Scala

From his studio at the (infamous) berliner club "Sameheads" , Franz Scala has been building with years a great reputation on the contemporary "Italo-Dance-scene", being the mind behind 2 essential labels as "Slow Motion" and "Wrong Era". Artists like "Fabrizio Mammarella", "Francisco" or "Rodion", to name a few, have been rising as a part of the Italian family that Scala has created with "Slow Motion".

Imprints as "Bordello A Parigi", "Tusk Wax", "Bahnsteig 23" or "MM Discos" have had the pleasure of hosting the Italian maestro, signing there remarkable records. Italian dance highly influenced by new wave, obscure synths and a little balearic touch.

We are very happy to have Franz for the 4th episode of our monthly "MM Casts", doing what he knows best, and inviting us to a space oddity thru wave, synth pop and of course...italo disco baby ;)

MM Cast 06: Romain FX

Born in France and raised in Hong Kong, Romain FX has made a name for itself since some time ago in the underground music scene. Highly influenced by the asian culture thanks to all those years living in Hong Kong, the young producer has found at his studio a time capsule where to travel thru different ages and styles. 

Natural born workaholic, RFX never misses the chance of being in a new project, either doing a new podcast, edit, radio show, remix or original production. With his own imprint "Fauve Records" has helped to develop and rise the asian underground music scene.

In this new episode of our monthly series "MM Casts", Romain Fx takes over the control of the MM Discos' ship by delivering a mix with all ingredients that have built his notorious reputation on the last couple of years. Pop in spirit, huge love for synths, Africa always in his heart, tropical breeze; having a foot on the 80's and the other one on the 90's, just the way we like it here at MM Discos babe ;)

🔊 https://youtu.be/9ci1_F94odo

For the debut digital EP on Viscera Transmissions, Komodo spreads his wings and takes his signature low slung psychedelica to the stars, to reap destruction on extraterrestrial dancefloors across the cosmos.

Title track Mirror Claws begins an ember in the desert, slowly stoked by guitar chord stabs and eerie screeches towards a slow yet inevitable psychedelic inferno.

For Night Crawler, the guitar steps back into co-pilot role as the acid bass takes the saddle, spurring the squelch dragon off into the void with a crack of the 303 whip.

Next up is Vanquished Angst with a dubby desert rock workout. Blazing guitar solos tear across the sky like thunderbolts whilst the hypnotic bassline and guitar progression burn through the dunes.

On the flip, Jonny Rock re-dubs the dub with his Vanquished Angst Dragon Remix. No slightly questionable guitar metaphors here, instead, a mind melting whirlpool of spiraling percussion, vocal quips, bass throbs and pads form a completely bonkers but brilliant piece.

Last but certainly not least, Chez de Milo arms Night Crawler with some serious ordnance. After changing up the beat pattern with a breaksy kick, electro warheads are ago, clearing the way for the original 303 line to cruise through. Heavy!

Credits: Thanks to Komodo for the amazing music in support of our new label, Jonny Rock & Chez de Milo for the delicious remixes, James Savage for the incredible masters, Kirsty Carrington for the gorgeous illustration and to Jessica Lau for digital design.

CCCVVV is the Brussels based duo of Clara Vellin and soFa elsewhere. The first Covid-lockdown drew these two old friends closer and both a love-story and burst of musical creativity followed.

A wide-eyed electronic record wearing its heart on an innersleeve, Curriculum Vitae chases after no real genre, preferring a very personal colour and style of its own. Music and passion entwined, it has resulted in this collection of intimate avant-pop-oddities. The album collects whispers of 60’s chanson and psyched out chords, holding a playful spirit throughout.

Through the genre-no-genre approach, Curriculum Vitae distills down to a vital essence, constantly flirting with smartly infused elements from the past/present for the head, heart and feet.

Highlights include a dreamy version of Nancy & Lee’s ‘Some Velvet Morning’ alongside the acidic slow-mo hypnotics of ‘Ritmo Denso’. ‘Generationen’ floats on a pillow of sonic bliss, while ‘Alla Porta Subito’s vocal and instrument interplay slinks closer to outer-planetary italo-reggae.

C.V.’s production wanders along a retro-futuristic approach throughout, its punkish attitude dancing between an embrace of the modern and a more naive pop-arrangement approach. Along this 37 minute journey the sweet and dark sides of a lifetime are witnessed, light organic harp marries refreshingly to carefully chosen synthesizers. Whimsical lyrics meet with melancholic composition.

Clara Vellin is a classical harp player active in a variety of eclectic musical projects.soFa, known for his highly acclaimed series of the eclectic "elsewhere" compilations, & productions such as Mameen 3, Nyati Mayi and collab with legendary Turkish drummer Okay Temiz & Houschyar on Music From Memory/Second Circle.

Penki iš penkių. Paskutinis #NaujasKailis šiais yra Indré. Įgūdžius jai nušlifuoti padėjo karantinas, o skonį formavo UK scena ir pora Londone praleistų metų. Tai tikrai jaučiasi mums atsiųstame mikse, kuriame pilna šviežiausių madų iš ūkanotos salos. Deja, dėl sudėtingos logistikos į prirašymą Indré nespės, bet vis tiek ją traukiame į bendrą programą. Nes to nusipelnė, būtinai ją išgirsim artimiausiu metu.

Circoloco Radio 281 - Romain FX

Seeking records to play at a festive setting is perhaps the seminal activity that helped lay the foundations for this artform called DJing, the primal act that came to define it as a unique mode of artistic expression. After all, what is now known as “digging”, the exploratory endeavour that precedes the act of playing out, is a fundamental aspect of the whole creative process that links a performer to its audience. This curatorial intent is what sets it apart from something as trivial as browsing for records and amassing a colossal amount of them for personal enjoyment. Thus, between the collector’s mind and a selector’s soul lies the generosity of bringing the crowd along for a journey of deep discovery. One at the same time of music and self that can be entertaining at the very least, but enlightening at its very best. Our current guest mastered the craft of weaving these rhythmic threads in enthralling tales that take us across not just grooves and moods, but entire worlds of sounds and sensations. This is what happens when someone is imbued with a mission that goes beyond a mere profession and what Romain FX brings to every single one of his endeavours, especially exquisite mixes such as this one that carries an unrelenting energy throughout, constant but far from being linear.
