Antoine Pete - The Dance is Coming

A journey to Berlin in 1985, when the city was still surrounded by the GDR, was an unforgettable experience. In the track you can hear the moment we reached Berlin, driving along the AVUS, where suddenly the colors of life seemed to return after the grayness before. It feels good to know that this chapter of history came to an end in 1989 – and that today we are united again.

Ombra INTL 002 A2) Curses - New Dimension

@Nahuel-galaxx delivers his second release for @PlaygroundRecords cementing his own style through a mix of rock and electronic music. These two tracks are two characters ' Balboa' and ' Gordon' , located at the two corners of his musical spectrum.

Balboa takes us to Nahuel's New Wave influences, a both nostalgic and futuristic feeling. Post-punk and post-nuclear, Balboa is someones who hints to a devastated world, a desert. Whilst Gordon takes us to the night's peak time.  Gordon is a fat guy that steps strong, a man of few words and demolishing attitude, a blend of rocker techno for intense moments.

@TenienteCastillo leads the first remix of Balboa, dresses the track with black boots and a leather jacket to make it darker and wilder. The guitar amps light on with maximum distortion to create a dense atmosphere and take us for a ride through the most dangerous suburbs. Pure rock.

With Binda of Club Bizarre closing the EP with a space disco version of Balboa, making us dream about a trip to outer space, around the Earth, with celestial pads as cushions to land perfectly.

Release Date - 06/12/17

PREMIERE - Nahuel - Balboa (Teniente Castillo Remix)(Playground Records)

So here we are with Riotvan's second installment of the "Familiar Faces", showcasing what's happening with the label these days (a lot), making label-residents shake hands and welcome affiliated folks to the syndicate. Although this is a 'various artists'-format, the here gathered stylistic approaches and track-turned mindsets make a strikingly coherent body of work. Just another evidence of how Riotvan has evolved into a renowned think tank of likeminded artists and indicator of state of the art sonic bliss. 

Kicking off we find Perel immersing in yet another synth-driven stream, seeking continuation to her latest, widely praised full length-cycle, but this time bypassing Venus or rather "Super Venus" while floating off to other otherworldly dimensions.

Next in line are Black Spuma, i.e. Lauer and Fabrizio Mammarella, demonstrating via "Drumbaeck" what a match in Neo-Disco-heaven they are. A highly energetic beat, laying the grounding for a cheerful synth-hook and harmonies you won't get out of your head anytime soon.

Same goes for "Tropical Redux", the follow up by none other than Panthera Krause. A particularly elated affair, carried out by a funked up bassline and a catchy string-theme, sticking its neck out in Disco-realms, while maintaining a primetime-adjusted groove.

At this point it's about time for a premiere. Say hi to New Hook, an all-female power-force with their debut release. "FXART" comes as a well-versed exercise in reviving frigid 80ies leanings with a contemporary urgency and attitude. And that's just a glimpse on what's to come from Linda, Ilka and Juliane.

Chinaski, definitely no stranger to the Riotvan family, is taking on the 80ies vibe and hands in "Zeichen der Zeit", an unhasting ride through various galaxies, combining nostalgic synth-aesthetics with spaced out futurism.

Closing things off, it's label-mainstay Jennifer Touch cutting deep with "Bleed", an almost existentially emotive composition, exploring spiritual abysses lyrically, re-modelling emotional chaos within the overtones of the arrangement and even trimming things down to physical functionality within the track's progression.

"Familiar Faces Nº2" will be out end of October 5th on Vinyl and digital formats, both being distributed by Muting The Noise. Artwork courtesy of Karen from Studio M21N.
