Brazilian producer Joyce Muniz continues her electro fascination on her new release for Exploited, serving up two slick dancefloor monsters that are both full of her inimitable energy and charisma.

‘Machine Talk’ is electro with a lightness of touch, the lead arpeggio perfectly tuned and EQed to be naggingly infectious without being overbearing. Propelling the track forward, it’s supported by deft, spacious percussion and some nice moments of melodic friction. The breakdown brings on a dreamy feel with thick delays and glistening chime hits, a haunting melody woven deep into the mix as the track progresses. Well-deployed FX hits punctuate just when needed, and each element feels perfectly placed in the mix.

‘Liberdade’ (which means 'Freedom' in portuguese) was the first song written after lockdown when Joyce was able to play for an audience again. This one is a more intense beast, with acidic bubbling teasing in the distance as thumping kicks and snares trade blows. A menacing bassline snarl stutters and pulses with sinister intent as a variety of percussive loops form an unusual rhythmic groove. More cowbell! The bassline also hints at resonant acidic squelchiness, lashing out like a scorpion’s tail as breathy vocals and electric guitar hits further enhance the groove. The heady breakdown lets swirling pads soar around the vocals, allowing for a potent drop when everything kicks back in.

Conected In Love

Shining crown jewels in Tel Aviv's underground scene, Red Axes' artistic endeavours have slowly but surely been revitalising Israeli music culture. Their output's calibre sets the bar inexorably high — epitomised by the stripped-back disco bomb “Waiting for a Surprise” which stirred up a ruckus this exact time last year. So much so that techno don Audion was compelled to lay his grace on the dub. Spurred on by a bouncy bass line, swirling electronics and agile percussive workouts darting all over the joint, Audion’s production lab mastery is heard crystal clear throughout.

Forthcoming on Waiting For A Remix (which includes reworks by Moscoman, Manfredas and Thomas Von Party) this bag of goodies drops through @multiculti digitally on October 3rd, followed up by wax on October 27th.

Red Axes "Waiting For A Surprise" (Audion's Magic Carpet Remix)

Here is a bootleg remix which I made for my live set on Beats In Space last September. It was only a very rough edit at the time, just the modular squawking away. But here it is after some care and attention, all finished, and downloadable.

You can watch a (sort of) video I made for the track here: https://rex.lnk.to/grooveytSo

FOOTPRINTZ - RUSH TO THE CAPSULE

Rising Visionquest stars Footprintz cover Raid Over Moscow on Turbo's first ever seven-inch release. Featuring a remix by Ewan Pearson.

To complement the recent Raid Over Moscow EP, we enlisted Visionquest signees Footprintz to provide their own take on "Rush to the Capsule", highlighting the excellent songcraft of the original while showcasing the sound that guarantees the Montreal duo will live up to the considerable hype created by their debut single, Utopia.

For the B-side, we turned to Ewan Pearson, the producer of Footprintz's amazing debut LP (due later this year), and a consistently great remixer. Pearson uses his insider knowledge of the group's strengths, turning the synth-pop mastery of their cover into a "New Wave Moon Rave", complete with all the male-choir pads such a thing entails.

Turbo Recordings. Smaller records. Bigger ideas. Similarly-sized success stories.

Footprintz - Rush To The Capsule (Ewan Pearson's New Wave Moon Rave Remix)

Label: AEON | Released: 26th April 2019 | ​D​istribution: Kompakt | Cat no: AEON039

Tracklist:
1. Love, Music, People
2. Love, Music, People (Lauer Remix)
3. Rise Of The Machines

AEON continue their phenomenal start to the year with an EP from label founder Alex Niggemann. Due for release this April, Niggemann invites the inimitable Lauer to provide a remix.
Love, Music, People ​proves how ​Niggemann is “​always trying to push [himself] and the label forward stylistically”. ​The lead track demonstrates the “​more Italo and house influenced sounds” ​that the AEON boss has reignited his passion for recently with its bounty of synths, prominent drums and robotic vocal stab. As well as performing and producing under his Tuff City Kids alias alongside Gerd Janson, ​Lauer has released music on Running Back, Futureboogie Recordings, Live At Robert Johnson and Permanent Vacation. Niggemann explains that ​“adding a mix from the very talented Lauer was an obvious choice”. ​On his take, he stamps his unmistakable sound on it with light, uplifting synths and adding a deep groove to the bass. On closing track ​Rise Of The Machines the Italo influence shines through once again with its driving bassline, weighty drums, bubbling synths, mechanical elements and a hint of cowbell.
Since breaking through in 2006 with his remix of Booka Shade’s ​Darko,​ ​Alex Niggemann ​has continuously impressed with a slew of hits on seminal labels including Crosstown Rebels, Last Night On Earth and Mule Musiq, as well as his own AEON imprint. Niggemann launched AEON in 2013 and the label has played a huge part in developing the careers of artists such as Denis Horvat, Speaking Minds and TVA. As well as the releases, AEON is now a globally renowned brand throwing regular, sold-out parties. Recently celebrating its fifth year in the business, 2019 will see the label continue to grow with a number of EPs and events already lined up.

Brazilian-born, Berlin-based DJ-producer Terr makes her debut on Erol Alkan's Phantasy with a superb new single titled 'Tale of Devotion'. A wide-eyed exercise in pure synth-pop bliss that channels the spirit of Giorgio Moroder's early disco musings, the glitzy track sees Terr deliver a stupefying vocal performance which lays the foundation for a contagious arrangement of cosmic electronics.

Terr's 'Tale Of Devotion' - which comes paired with a ‘Discomiks’ and dub rework from Norwegian maestro Prins Thomas - drops via Phantasy on May 10.

Mufti - Lock Stock And Barrel

Life And Death’s next album project finds label boss DJ Tennis work with Israeli duo Red Axes to express themselves with total freedom and explore the similarities and differences between their respective sounds. Entitled Redrago and due for release as a 2 x 12” on October 11th, the adventurous and subversive full length is preceded by one two track single release and will will also be taken on the road for a series of unique live shows. 

DJ Tennis and the Red Axes duo were first introduced to each other by The Pachanga Boys at a festival in Corsica. “Their faces, their expressions and their attitude—gentle, smart, loving and funny—impressed me at first sight“ remembers Tennis. That was many years ago, and since then they have deepened their personal and musical connections, but “always by chance” says Tennis.  Around a year ago, they were having a discussions and decided they should attempt to combine their “love of psy and mediterranean influences” and scheduled a week of recording sessions together. 

After making at 9am and having a proper Israeli breakfast, the artists went to a studio on top of a decadent old shopping mall in the Centre of Tel Aviv. Each of them then set up in one corner of the studio with their own instrument (including Tennis’s Pearl Syncussion, a small modular setup, a Juno and bunch of guitar pedals, while Niv and Dori “used their usual weird cheap instruments including bass and guitars”) and they began playing, experimenting and jamming, recording everything they did then swapping stations and repeating the process. “It was a friendly and loving experience” say Red Axes, who add that they then took all the recordings into various editing sessions and finalised the adventurous, multi-genre exploration that is Redrago. 

“The aim was to find a kind of Italian-Israeli connection in our musical approach, “ explain Red Axes. “So the album journeys from psychedelic Italo disco to Israeli trance rock with a lot of rave elements. We call it falafel disco mixed with a 1/4 of spaghetti sauce.”

The album opens with the freaky synths and punchy drums of ‘Rave ’N Roll’, which has layers of exotic instrumentation and beguiling sound design. ‘Redrago’ is a Balearic track with expansive pads and sun kissed melodies washing over you like breaking waves, while ‘Il Veliero’ is a complexly woven tapestry of intoxicating leads and drunken tabla drum sounds with a psyched-out vibe. 

The soft rock licks and conversational synths of ‘The Kohlrabi Session’ make for a chugging disco groover while ‘Plastelina’ is a deep and late night cosmic exploration that continues through the star gazing ambiance and long legged drums of ‘Shalom Alanation.’ Acid squiggles and tropical vocals make ‘Ventilo’ another fantastically fresh track while ‘Phantom Rag’ closes out with a flurry of wild synth patterns, techno drums and intergalactic feels that round things out in intense fashion. 

This is a freeform album that knows no musical boundaries and will appeal to lovers of everything from kosmische to ambient, techno to Balearic.

Exclusive Panthera Krause 'Road To Arcadia (Kasper Bjørke Disco Rework)'

Originally released as part of Panthera Krause's album It's A Business Doing Pleasure With You at the end of last year, two new approaches of his take Road To Arcadia are about to be released as part of Robert's, Panthera Krause's real name, next single on Riotvan. While the artist contributes a club version of Road To Arcadia himself, Copenhagener Kasper Bjørke is responsible for the second track of the single release and turns it into a hauntingly disco rework which has as much energy as Donna Summer's I Feel Love In other words Bjørke's Disco Rework simply is a continuous groover, which develops the latter due to the implementation of additional sounds throughout the track or a change of the chords right up to incorporating a so called glitch in the last part of the track. 

Panthera Krause's single Road To Arcadia will be released on Riotvan on February 14th, 2020
