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.

1- Residentes Balearicos "Il Respiro"

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. Golden 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.

Radio On Vacation With Mehmet Aslan

MM Cast 12: Hal Incandenza

It's always a pleasure to work together with close friends, I met Henry (the man behind Hal Incandenza) back in 2005 and besides the beautiful friendship between us,  his huge talent and the way that this guy felt music was always fascinating to me. Since the first moment I saw that he could do whatever he wanted to; write and produce any kind of style he would dare.

You could see him last year in MM Discos reworking Bonnie & Klein's Diamante and more recently signing this amazing Ep "Incivitas", a work that has been cooking for more than a year and that is called to be one of the bangers of the forthcoming festival season; but the story of Hal Incandenza in MM Discos is not finished yet, stay tuned cause more things are getting ready.

Natural born workaholic, Henry has been involved in projects as producer, songwriter, musician and graphic designer as well as hosting several radio shows throughout his long career. 

In this last episode of our monthly MM Cast, we've decided to rescue his last chapter of his own show "At Home with Henry Saiz" where the spanish producer gives a masterclass of downtempo and balearic beat. Make yourself confortable, roll a nice spliff and chill ;)

Signs in the Dark

"IS AN INTRODUCTION NEEDED" opens the journey into my upcoming EP "Test Market: Pixanoswing vs Gqoza V1. 
This single focuses entirely on the Pixanoswing side of the project — the groove, the swing patterns, the melodic bounce and rhythmic pocket that define the style.

Pixanoswing in this track carries a darker melodic bounce, grounded in an Amapiano groove that drives the rhythm forward. It introduces the mood of the EP by blending atmosphere with movement — a sound that sets the tone before the heavier Gqoza direction arrives later in the project.

The two sub-genre's in this EP are sub-genre's I created and am pioneering myself. Pixanoswing is a sub-genre of Amapiano that blends the bounce and log-drum groove of Amapiano with influences from Afroswing, dark R&B, and elements of Gqom. It carries a darker melodic mood, smoother swing patterns, and a rhythmic pocket that feels emotional. 

Gqoza on the other hand is an emotional, more atmospheric branch of Gqom. It keeps the raw drum energy of Gqom but adds deeper textures, space, and mood — making it more expressive, cinematic, and feeling-driven.
