One of the most influential electronic music artists that France has produced, David Carretta returns to The Hacker & Gesaffelstein’s ZONE Records with his new EP, ‘Land of Sin’. Featuring 5 tracks of hard edged electro, analogue techno and retro-futuristic synth workouts, ‘Land of Sin’, shows that 21 years on since his debut release Carretta is still at his creative best.

Setting the tone ‘Land of Sin’, draws upon Electro, Techno, New Beat, EBM and Italo Disco to create a grinding, sleazy club classic, the soundtrack to sweat dripping off black rubber walls. Upping the tempo ‘Smash’ draws a direct parallel between classic early ‘90s Trance and early ‘00s Electroclash, bringing new life back to both genres.

‘Station to Station’ meanwhile sees Carretta in cosmic mode, a classic Electro rhythm underpins a weightless melody that recalls the likes of both Kraftwerk and classic early ‘90s electronica.

Then having let us catch our breath Carretta pulls us right back onto the dark heart of the dancefloor with ‘System’, six bruising minutes of Industrial Techno, before ending with a final Electro flourish with the brooding and oppressive ‘Transcontrol’.

Making his debut in 1993 of the seminal Harthouse label, as Calyptol Inhalant, David Carretta has gone on to release 4 albums, over forty EPs, more than 50 remixes and DJ’ed and performed live all around the world. Along the way Carretta inspired DJ Hell to launch International Deejay Gigolos, the label that would reshape electro in the final years of the 20th century and has provided a similar inspiration to the new wave of French electro artists of the ‘00s.

Established in 2009 by The Hacker and Gesaffelstein, ZONE Records has gone on to provide a home for some of the most exciting names in electronic music today including the likes of Djedjotronic, Maelstrom and Jon Convex.

David Carretta - System

D!SHA - Overthinker (Original Mix)

A techno track at 126bpm with excerpts from JFK's inspiring inaugural presidential speech. Deep dubby and rumble sounds in the first half of the track create a moody atmosphere before and energetic vibe shift to an acid bass uptempo close to the song that starts at 03:26 and builds to a climax at 04:27. This song is inspired by the optimism and excitement of the space race in the 1960s.

First up and out on Mr Beatnick's new Mythstery imprint is the Instant Bull LP from Genevan producer and Beatnick's longtime friend and collaborator, Breakplus.

Partly a beat tape, partly a mini-album, Instant Bull is a hip hop celebration of Turkish rock. Breakplus' musical journey began during the golden era of hip hop, and upheld this musical rhetoric in his own records, shown through his deft sampling skills. Anatolian sounds are one of the "world music" samples popping up more and more in dance music, with our highlight track "An Atol Alien" ringing bells of day parties and festival sets gone by. A little glimpse of Turkish sunshine.

Instant Bull drops on 9th November via Mythstery.
