Veteran producer Paco Buggin aka Silicodisco is back on Espacio Cielo. After his solid debut on the Spanish powerhouse, which counted with the collaborations of Franz Scala and Etane, this time he partnered with Rastro Live honcho, Xácome (FREEDL037), to bring to life “Dual Sintonia”, a colourful EP featuring an Italo-Disco-meets-New-Wave-meets-Dark-Disco atmosphere. On the remix duties, none other than Adrian Marth (SXDNS188), Italo Moderni’s boss, and Parissior (SXDNS206), Espacio Cielo’s iron fist owner.

The 5-track EP showcases the versatility of not only the main artists but also the remixers. It depicts an interesting concoction of influences and soundscapes which faithfully represent the true identity of the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene: Pluralism.

Premiered here, “Tokyo” brings the Madrid-based artists depicting the Japanese capital through Retrowave-inspired synth leads, groovy percussive elements, and a mortal-like-a-Samurai acid layer. Kudos! If this is a one-time-only or perennial partnership, we really don’t know, but the outcome of this rendezvous left us wishing for more.

PREMIERE271 // Silicodisco & Xácome - Tokyo (Original Mix)

Boyanza are thrilled to present the latest musical offering from label head Rafatel, who returns to the fore with 6 pulsating tracks that embody his transcending, hypnotic and emotively intuitive take on dance music….

Rafatel has always been one for surfing the slipstreams that occupy the varying spaces between genres, be it through his DJ sets or via his productions. Effortlessly grazing in and around interconnected musical worlds, his approach has always been one of graceful exploration, with a keen eye for what leaning into the future may hold. A much-revered cornerstone of his hometown of Mexico City, Rafatel has nurtured his craft via curious ears and a deft hand in the studio, allowing his style and sound to multiply and evolve with each passing year. His DJing career provided the bedrock for his universe to be formulated, one where Disco, Acid, House, Balearic, and all and sundry persist as interlocking facets of a truly all-encompassing sound. His helming of the Boyanza imprint and pop-up rave alongside this, has turned many heads, with the label’s enthralling mixture of styles displaying a sense of purpose and passion with each new release and party.

In April 25’, Rafatel performed at the Cercle Odyssey, a unique touring immersive show that brings together art, performance, and music. ‘Cercle Odyssey: First Act’ is a recording of that performance, where he showed the world a collection of unreleased tracks that demonstrated his expressive and eclectic style. ‘A1’ sees in the show, where a slow-burning series of deep-set harmonics and skipping percussive elements set the scene, before evolving into the core progression of hypnotic melodies and bold, purposeful rhythms. ‘A2’ keeps the energies going right from the off, with the sounds of the morning chorus alongside the emerging basslines and rhythms helping to foster an involving narrative. The choral swells are set alongside chiming notes that help to create an emotive and joyful atmosphere, delving deep into the dancefloor to draw from its energy. ‘B1’ fills the room with its joyous, break-filled energy, where the poly-harmonics and emotional chord lines add a certain kind of flavour to proceedings - a rise up in the euphoria, where hands rise up into the air.

‘B2’ furthers the playful feels with an uplifting array of sounds and motifs, contained primarily within its intoxicating, multi-layered harmonies and arpeggios. Colourful, bountiful and ever so enlightening, this is a track to be played out amongst the clouds, within the deep blue sky. ‘C1’ shifts stylistically into a more swinging groove, where emphatic chord sequences and soul-satisfying vocal samples pivot around a mightily profound rhythm and bass section. ‘C2’ sees out the experience in some style, where the curated energies of the past half hour are bottled and released out via softly speaking and enveloping masses of sound, with glossy chords and breezy notes are laid out above a succinctly evolving percussive section - a sound to dream about on the walk home, and an experience that will linger long in the memory.

Mexican label Innisfallen, curated by Montessori (FLXXX), is proud to present its second release. After featuring acclaimed Israeli artist Middle Sky Boom (remixed by Colossio, Azaria, and Alvaro Cabana) in its debut, this time the magic comes from the hands of French producer Did Virgo, who delivered two high-quality originals that come accompanied with two solid remixes provided by Italian Franz Scala and Mexican Die Jungle.

In a utopian world, machines are intended to be capable of running eternally after an initial boost without the need for any additional external energy due to the concept of perpetual motion. The title track seems to depict this utopian world. Listening to it is like immersing in a scenario in which the machines have taken control. The fat and absurd bass line plus the trippy and sublime synth layer could perfectly be the highlights of Did Virgo’s “Perpetual Motion”, but nothing can overcome the impressive and imposing siren-like synth riff of the theme. The energy and clout it deploys is undoubtedly its most striking feature, something the fans of apocalyptic sci-fi books/movies out there might like.

Julian Fleker is an artist from Argentina, a friend of Playground Records' (@playgroundrecords) origins in the underground of Buenos Aires. Ricardo Ruben's (@ricardo-ruben) project starting from the name to the artistic side face and composition takes a humorous place, although his musical background is serious. Ricardo Ruben is a character from a song by the 80's rock group Los Twists that carried a share of acid humor.

It is then that the name of this EP is not surprising, nor the way to face a different compositional work, wanting to highlight an idiosyncrasy of personal and local search.

“De la cabina a la parrilla” (From the booth to the grill) is another title that plays with the local humor, Ricardo Ruben talks about those Argentine meetings where everything walks around meat and barbecue, and the DJ booth can be set up next to the embers. Diving into that personal identity, his search for sound combines modulations that twist and shoot up and down, hi hats and rides that filter and deform, cowbells in front, gloomy melodies of out- of-tune oscillators that give something of a grotesque circus and then come out in synth leads that carry us to an ecstatic trance.
