CONTEMPORARY MUSIC: MARCH 2022

Debuts

"Rim Dream" is a track by newcomer to the scene Sergey Zharkov representing the new label Estetika out of Minsk, Belarus, whose rather cool "Dance For Belarus" VA you may have caught earlier this year. Sergey is massively inspired by old italian house music which shines through the whole EP, and "Rim Dream" is one of the deeper more hypnotic moments on the release, promising many a warm night on the dancefloor this summer for those of us fortunate enough to get to them.

PREMIERE : Zharkov - Rim Dream

The release of Paradistika contains 4 tracks by the young producer Zharkov and 2 remixes from Schmoltz and Johannes Albert, the tracks of which could be heard in the first release of the label - Dance For Belarus.

Inspired by the sound of the Italian dream house of the 90s, Sergey decided to convey the aesthetics of that time with modern means.

The Paradistika album was made in a summer style. All tracks are produced in a major key, and thanks to the variety of sounds, the EP becomes a universal DJ tool for warm parties. The tracks will sound harmoniously both in the set from the classic house of the 90s, and among the modern sound.

“Sergey is a young and talented artist who surprises with his perception of music and sound. When the summer comes, we all want to dance and enjoy time with a pleasant musical component. Tracks are not only relaxing but can also be the DJ's secret weapon on the dance floor. We are pleased to present the release and we hope it will become an excellent companion in the summer season ”, - the label founder Alex Aslamin shares his impressions of the release.

forever grateful

when it fall down

Delighted to premiere a track from one of our favourite labels to emerge from the last few years: ec2a. Headed by Dr Duplate, the label has been. behind some of the best contemporary UK garage records, and the latest comes from Russian producer FTRRLT as he joins the labels OPM vinyl series with five bubbling cuts of 2-step.

We've copped the remix from OG Swamp81 don Benton - a wicked blend of breaks, bass and screw-face energy. Play this one loud.

FTRRLT - The Going Is Rough (Benton Remix) [ec2a] - Plain Sailing Debuts

bambinodj’s ‘lost riddim’ finds itself navigating a fog-cloaked, otherworldly expanse. It’s a tune designed to freeze time in the late hours, fusing chain-reacted rhythmic mechanics with slow-drifting synth eddies and spectral dancehall vocals plucked from the ether. It’s blue-light music, raw sapphire refracted and refined through clubspace mist.

‘lost riddim’ opens our forthcoming ‘Performance Enhancers’ compilation. It sits alongside music by DJ RISH, Jetty, and PELLE ROCK.

‘Performance Enhancers’ drops March 25th on TT.

唱着那无人问津的歌谣

Heaven Can Wait

Taken from the first VA on TT label since 2014, the enigmatic Berlin producer offers a fiercely forward-facing take on FDM.

The water felt solid like earth beneath his feet as the distance grew between his body and the shore. The horizon seemed concrete to him and he christened it his destination, not stopping until his lips could kiss the sky and ocean's joining. The water caressed his feet, and flirted with the lower half of his legs. His mind was occupied by feeling, not thought. He breathed in the air. The air breathed him.

This track is one of two contributions by bambinodj to the 'Performance Enhancers' VA, compiled by the label co-run by DJ Pitch and Kast.  Released as a single last month, 'lost riddim' is difficult to decipher. So close, yet somehow so distant to the stylistic tropes commonly associated with the dancehall genre, a suggestion of spectral vocals float above razor-sharp percussion in an exploration of space and depth.

'august FDM' sees bambinodj pursue this endeavour. In a way that departs from the standard tropes of FDM (AKA Flex Dance Music, a dark, bass-heavy genre hailing from Brooklyn) Dancehall vocals are subordinated to genre-defining laser-like blips that dominate the track before being swept up by blissed-out arpeggios. Strange and dreamy.

PREMIERE: bambinodj - august fdm [TT]

Left-field pop and exploratory electronic platform Tobago Tracks label prepare for the release of Performance Enhancers on March 25th, featuring bambino dj, Jetty, DJ Rish and PELLE ROCK.

Jetty's coastal dancehall riddim 'On The Jetty' has arrived just in time as the weather changes for spring; inspiring mental images of sparkling seas, long sunrises and life on the beach, with just enough wub to get down to and a pitched vocal that comes and goes with ease.

Fresh off the back of a debut Boiler Room performance at the world renowned AVA Festival, releases on Extended Play, Nocturne & Rudimentary Records and captivating live set performances at Celtronic, Derry’s very own Cartin delivers a two track EP spanning lairy UK electro-breaks and glitch-driven techno that shines a deserved spotlight on exactly why the emerald isle is so excited about him.

Today we premiere ‘Endz’ - an in-your-face bass heavy banger that blends grimey vocal samples and gun-finger energy  in a mutation of electro, breakbeat, grime and punk - a wonderful example of Cartin’s ability to seamlessly blend genre, yet remain so distinctive.

Cartin - Endz - Plain Sailing Debuts

It's no secret that we're massive Rory Sweeney fans. The producer has carved out a distinct lane for himself within a sea of the same, consistently bringing something new, fun and innovative to the table.

ULTRAPOLLEN has come through with a wicked remix of Rory & Kayleigh Noble's 'Needy' and it blends two of our favourite things - the best parts of the Sweeney-verse and a cloudcore, dreamy percussive aesthetic. The result is a tears-in-the-club bass banger that will have you crying front-left.

The latest VA from Holly Lester's Duality Trax imprint focuses on six emerging and established artists that are all making their mark within their respective cities and beyond, with 100 percent of profits going to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.

Belfast producer Body Clinic rounds off the VA, fusing DnB and prog in ‘159 Revolutions Per Minute.' Here, the young artist perfectly demonstrates the interwoven themes and concepts that the label seeks to platform.

Life After

Dublin based avant-garde electronic music party and platform come through with a killer VA spanning the genre-defying, experimental and futuristic. 

Headed by Irish DJ and producer darkmavis; the boundless possibilities of electronic music are what make up the Aerga projects. Your listening experienced is enriched with everything from dreamy ambient, to pulsating hardcore, heavy bass and hard-drum, hyper maximalist takes on jungle, pure experimentalism and of course euphoric progressive and hard cuts of trance.

'Use Me' by Dublin and Give Us The Night mainstay R.Kitt is a cut of tranced-out, dreamy club designed for those 5am moments when the sun starts to make it's way through the warehouse windows and hangs in the air.

To date the platform has hosted some incredible artists such as Evian Christ, TDJ, Snow Strippers, Taahliah, Varg2tm, Amor Satyr, Rory Sweeney and Dark0. Quite a forward thinking roster, and one we can certainly get behind. Support grass roots and independent labels. That's where the most interesting stuff is happening.

Full release out April 11th. Head to the Ethereal Skies Bandcamp page here: https://etherealxxskies.bandcamp.com
