Putting together a VA release is not an easy task. Putting together a VA release featuring some of the best artists of the Nu Disco/Indie Dance scene is definitely not an easy task. Young but already acclaimed Critical Monday decided to face the challenge and have for their season finale a compilation that would work as a retrospective of the different sounds that makes the French label what it is. Regulars and friends of the house plus newcomers were invited to the occasion inasmuch as working with great artists not only on a creative level but also on the human side as the aim of Critical Monday at the end is to create a music family – and what a family!

“Various Artists Vol. 2” brings Andreja Salpe, Bonnie Spacey & Rem's Martinez, Yourr, Della & Poulper, Favio Inker & Harock, Back From The Wave, Endrik Schroeder, Alex Aguayo & Silicodisco, Mundo D, and Konnekt who spared no efforts to deliver high-quality contributions to the soirée.

The track we chose to premiere/review was made with love by veteran producer Paco Buggin aka Silicodisco and rising star Alex Aguayo. In “Return To The Truth”, the duo seamlessly combined their particular influences in order to deliver a dark & groovy theme with an enticing bassline, trippy synth layers, and gorgeous guitar riffs, resulting in a beautiful dance floor-oriented cut.

PREMIERE286 // Alex Aguayo & Silicodisco - Return To The Truth

With roots in experimental music, insatiable hunger for music research, and audio experimentation, Genish has developed a distinctive sound palette: a perfect balance between electronic, acoustic sounds, and Middle Eastern music markedly informed by detailed and precise sound design. Genish is an alchemist when it comes to music production, he knows how and when to pull in the right ingredients, at the right time, with the right mix. His EP Manjajanga on Blue Shadow is a true testimony of this reflex. The 3 original tracks EP is a captivating tapestry of organic & analog sounds, topped with deep melodies and emotions.

Mexico meets Augsburg! Feines Tier veterans @theusmago and @dominik-marz join forces for the „Timewarp“ EP. And to everybody whose stream of consciousness associates this title to terms like „Feierei“ and „Gude Laune“: Well, you’re not wrong. The message is brought to you through on-point less-is-more drum programming, distorted toms, crystalline synths, chirping 303s and spliced-up vocals. So basically everything you’d ever need for a proper feierei. Mr Smallville Paris aka Jacques Bon and his pal Drux (nomen est omen?) serve their exquisite tastebuds to cook up a bittersweet remix of the tune, which makes for a deep(!) dish with its trippy percussion layers and nebulous pads. Maybe don’t drive a car after consuming this one. The gude vibes continue with „Fredonien“ which is served in two variations: Firstly the „Vox Mix“ which is going all in on honoring its title and is as sweet as candy, with the synth chords adding that dip of melancholy we’re craving from all the best deep house tunes. The regular version is a more streamlined affair, but don’t be fooled: The amount it’s lacking in heart wrenching vocals is more than made up by melodramatic Mellotron-y synths dropping by from time to time to say hello and raise the stakes. All we’ve got left to say after all these timewarps, drux and vox is: More of this collab, please!
