I have been in contact with Manuel Mind from Switzerland for a long time. He was one of the earliest supporters of that new sound called “Trance”, back in the early 90s, when I did my first recordings a Microglobe and Mindgear on MFS Records from Berlin and when Cosmic Baby and me compiled and produced “Tranceformed From Beyond”, the very first compilation exploring that new and exciting sound in a mixed format. When he asked me to contribute my Mindgear track “Don’t Panic” to his compilation “Sonic Trance”, I was so thrilled to receive a request from abroad, that I produced a special remix of that track called “Don’t Panic (Transpanic Mix)“, that has never been re-released on any other format so far.
We met for the first time at the end of 1995 on a rave in Zürich. Trance had already become a formula back then I was looking for deeper ways to express myself in music. He was playing on the Drum & Bass floor and I was a bit puzzled at first, since I could not really connect that sound with him. However, when he played “Timeless” by Goldie and other songs, I don’t recall anymore, music that consisted of deep basslines and emotional pads, I understood that his love for these musical elements made him embrace Drum & Bass, as a logical progression from the Trance sound of the early 90s.
We got in contact once again in the 10s, inevitably through the social networks. He noticed that I rediscovered Funk, the sound that made me turn to electronic music and drum machines in the first place. And I was stunned, that he also produced a similiar sound. I featured his tunes on my NuFunk show “Motherfunk” on BLN.fm and he asked me for a remix for his new tune “Strange Sounds”. So here once again a circle closes after 20 years.
At first I wanted to have this remix released as a mijkfunk Remix, but I don’t want to make these separations anymore. It was good to separate my first excursions into the realm of NuFunk and FutureBoogie under a new project name, but in 2013 it just makes sense to me to merge all the influences that I gathered over 2 decades into a Mijk van Dijk sound, may it be boogie infused or harmony infected.
So I’m really happy to present to you my “Mijk van Dijk Boogie Remix” of Manuel Mind & Valentino Tomasi’s  ”Strange Sounds” on Le Bal Records from Zürich/ Switzerland, with remixes by Foremost Poets, DJ Slugo and Mijk van Dijk.
Also available on vinyl July 16th 2013.

Artist: mar.c
Title: Tranceformative (Incl. P.O Remix)
Label: Exarde
Cat No: XRD014
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Tranceformative
A2. Get Ready
B1. Crossing Over
B2. Crossing Over (P.O Remix)

Exarde’s just keep it spinnin’. This time our protagonist was originally born in Transylvania, so he knows something about the dancing vampires you often see at parties. This is confirmed by the fact that his release also contributed a lot to the gothic side of the dancefloor. 

MAR.C is obsessed with dark sounds but specifically loves a guitar, acid and weirdly uplifting electro sounds. So, by his words this EP is exactly concentrated on frequencies between these two spectrums. On the remix duty’s we got P.O with his interpretation which gives an even more unique vibe as a groover for the closing scene.

Exclusive: Solar Plexus - Beautiful Y'Know

A new OPIA Records release usually means there are four new tracks to discover or music you did not expect to hear but you are happy that you have. With the label's latest EP, which comes from legendary UK artist Solar Plexus, the label around its head Tam Fallan dug deep into the archives to come up with the tracks, which can now be found on the 14th installment from the label, namely Solar Plexus' Lost & Found EP. All tracks date back to the 90s Trance/ Progressive House era but are re-mastered and re-edit, latter by LVCA. Lost & Found EP kicks off with Beautiful Y'Know? and the track title seems to be the credo not only of the track but the entire EP. The track's obvious Trance-note is enriched with slight Acid Bleeps as well as short piano-intermezzi and spoken vocals, which in combination create a let-loose-feeling for the body, mind and soul and unleash peak time moments on the floor. A great track to get the EP started and yet another impressive release on OPIA Records.

Solar Plexus' Lost & Found EP is released on OPIA.

ONE055 V/A PREVIEWS

Santa Maria Electronics is a new label born in Italy. In the first EP, Giulio Gastaldello, the mind behind the project, tried to best express the key concepts of the label: eclecticism, alchemy and freedom. These elements are not only present in the musical production, but can be also found in the party series by Santa Maria. The desire to merge various genres of electronic music to achieve a new sonic experience is a formula that has been happily welcomed.  
We firmly believe that an artist's vision should always be as broad as possible, and this is why in our future releases, as in this one, we will consistently try to push ourself into having an open mind in order to achieve the best outcome for the listeners, besides the genre. 
In more depth, side A of this Ep is opened by a DnB pitched down beat combined with an ethereal techno pad. A2 is instead a fusion of house and trancy elements. 
Side B1 track, ‘Collapse’, consists of 2 basslines, synth lines, pads and stabs that come and go for the whole length of the track. B2, by contrast, is a more clubber tune with acid elements, groovy kick-sub combination and a catchy vocal.
