Evan Michael, Current Trax

Sgnelkab

Sgnelkab (Mental Overdrive RMX)

Taking over the original track from ALF CHAMPION "Lucidus Somnia” previously released on the all mighty Optimo Music (December, 2019)

Starting this multiform release with the young wizard from Tel Aviv Olsvangèr with his 'Jelly Dumbo' remix. A hypnotic burner; slow and psychedelic ride.

Second Mexican dancefloor master Tyu with his Ritmomix. Name says it all; heavy groove, sleazy percs, groovy bass and a pitchshifting oscillator to glue it all. A real dance floor weapon.

Last but not least, on of the gems from Düsseldorf, Lucas Croon serves us his 'Misterio' remix. A cinematic take driven by acid basslines and extremely killer drums.

Dinner is served, enjoy the ride.

PREMIERE⚡ALF CHAMPION - Lucidus Somnia (Tyu's Ritmomix) [Fucanglong Files]

Bandcamp pre-order - https://optimomusic.bandcamp.com/album/vitus-ep

1 Vitus
2 Libera

We have been big fans of Al Wootton since his Deadboy days (when he featured on our “Dark Was The Night” mix cd). We were simply thrilled when he sent these two thunderous discoid dub tracks over and wanted to put them out instantly. Tried and tested danceflloor domination guaranteed.

We asked Al for a few words and he says -

With Vitus and Libera I wanted to make some big, psychedelic, dubbed out, percussive, chugging disco tracks. They were so fun to make, everything was laid down live in takes, all hands on live automation on the fly using hardware synths and mostly external hardware processing, making good use of an old 80s delay unit.


I love making techno, but for me creatively its important to explore all aspects of my tastes, and I have always loved disco, dub, early house, post punk, psychedelic stuff, anything with percussion. I make a lot of stuff like this and don’t do anything with it, but with these tracks I knew I had to get them out as I felt the energy of them while I was making them.

Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce on April 21st 2023.

give it back ft. sir Was (Gerd Janson Remix)

release date: 27th of October

It's been a while since we did something on our subdivision Petite. You know, this is where we like to re-release those forgotten pearls, with a new remix on the flip.
This time we chose Kinda Kickin' by DJ Boom, which is in fact a collaboration between Matthew Herbert and Charles Webster. The original vinyl goes for over 110eur on Discogs and is a longtime favourite of ours. We heard Move D play it at a festival this summer, but strangely enough not too many other people seem to know about this house gem.
On remix duties this time someone very close to the label (and our hearts) since the first collaboration in 2007 for ‘Acid Bells’. Efdemin recently delivered what is maybe his best album to date and also this remix for Kinda Kickin’ is absolutely superb. Enjoy.

Motip White - Machines (Gespona Remix)

Rafael Marín, best known as Rapha Mundi is back on Buenobueno Discos with a solid 6 track EP titled Bonanza EP. The super prolific, hard working hero from the small town of Murchante, in Spain, keeps pushing boundaries on his personal journey through music.

On this record Rapha explores the deeper sides of House and Techno with a minimalistic production and a truly amazing sense for hypnotic grooves. Always club ready, always dj friendly.
He also even delivers a beautful ambient track called 'Otra Luz' as the cherry on top.

Also don't miss his show 'Slaps U' on Relativa Radio (Madrid) where he shines as an incredible record selector

Evan Michael - Antenna (Original Mix)

Follow Schegg: https://soundcloud.com/schegg

Munich based musician, sound collector and artist Schegg (aka “Scaled Chord Harmony & Electronic Groove Grounds”) crawls through the wormhole for his third outing on clipp.art. A minute between stints, (his last extended player release on clipp.art came out in 2019) but where “Dream Emulator” drifted into corners of detroit electro, groove-heavy house, full frontal breakbeat, aquatic acid and UK rave, “Sonic Ritual” is a trio of tracks that finds the Munich based musician delving into new 4D angles inside the tesseract. It’s a space where he builds on his enthusiasm for vintage-sound tracks, tribal rhythms, and silky chords, albeit all wrapped up in a raw housey music kinda way. Oh, and he adds some borderline Baltimore breakbeat and early morning ambience into the mix.

It’s interesting to think about the concept of a “Sonic Ritual” and not get trapped in the boring utilitarian idea of a customary practice or soul-sucking routine of everyday existence. There can also be pleasure in repetition. The 4/4 hypnotic loop of club music is a good place to start. And I think most people reading this would have surrendered to the habits of a regular dancefloor visit at some point in their life.

But let’s talk about the music: If I had to imagine a scenario where you would be correct in throwing on “Memory Loop” then it wouldn’t be while drinking coffee at 7a.m, or on the treadmill at the gym. I’d opt instead to blaze a fat one and watch spider web shadows through my window on a spring afternoon.

“Shamanic Dance” won’t summon an ancient curse, although it sounds really good if you watch the jungle scenes in Raiders of the Lost Arc at half speed with the sound muted and play this over the top instead.

Finally, title track “Sonic Ritual” evokes less of a literal ritual and more like an everyday ceremony where you listen to heaps of Orbital and then remember it’s the year 2025. Its good stuff, man.

On his first release with us back in May 2019, Schegg said ”The most important thing is to make human-like music for the heart and soul. There should be some healing sound at the dancefloor, something to dream about and to forget all your troubles.” Many moons later, in a world where everything has changed, it’s comforting to find some habits stay the same.

Tropical Heat celebrates the warm, dance-infused side of Afro and tech house. Built on slow, rhythmic grooves, the album blends organic percussion with winds and strings that paint vivid, sun-drenched atmospheres. Each track breathes tropical life and movement while preserving Antoine Pete’s unmistakable sense of elegance.

Designed for barefoot nights by the sea, Tropical Heat turns the dancefloor into a lush paradise where sensual house rhythms meet the natural energy of the tropics.
