Duro Label is proud to present volume 10 of their rolling compilation series, "Muy Duro". New names for this issue include Mishell and UFO Club, as well as the triumphant return of Mijo, a masterpiece by Javier Ferreira and Persona RS, and a new cut from Heidenreich.

The compilation starts off strong with "Shifting Sands", a collaboration between Javier Ferreira and Persona RS. It's a powerful, acidic track with dreamy vibes and rave influences. Next up is "The Toolmaster" by the one and only Mijo, a funky, surprising, and pleasurable track that's like a soul massage.

In this volume of the "Muy Duro" series, we welcome Mishell with "Analyze", a cut more oriented towards the sound of house music, fresh, deep, and resonant. Heidenreich returns to Duro with "Not What U Dance", a booming cut with sharp and energetic synthesizers. Finally, to close out the compilation, we have UFO Club debut for the label with "Snapping Turtles", a minimal house cut with a solid drumbeat, playful percussion, epic break and a floating bass.

The production journey for this EP was a meticulously crafted endeavor, marked by an extended timeline that yielded a more polished result.

The inspiration behind this EP finds its roots in a passion for musical diversity and the potent fusion of sounds and samples. The predominant genres of indie dance and electro seamlessly blend, elevating the experience to unparalleled heights, thanks in part to the contributions of our esteemed guest artists.

The opener is Rider, this track takes a narrative path, delving into the absence of identity and belonging, paving the way for a distinct personality to emerge. Let It Out, on the other hand, lies the concept of awakening, a profound exploration of consciousness, and the ongoing journey of learning, with all its trials and triumphs

The musical evolution of Iuan has seen a shift towards a more pronounced emphasis on lyrical depth and messaging. This EP allowed to explore a broader spectrum of sounds that resonated with the creative vision. This shift served as a moment of reflection, enabling to contemplate the musical legacy and the lasting impression he wish to leave behind.

DISKONTROL - REFLEJO VIRTUAL (VALMAIIN Remix)

Northern Mexico emerges as an enigmatic territory, where the unexplored mixes with the violent, revealing hidden gems in its vast expanse. In this setting of contrasts, Ciudad Juárez is the birthplace of idols such as Juan Gabriel, Cassandro El Exótico and now one of its promises; Marito Ramírez, a young pop singer whose short career has given him something to talk about. 'Ya no te kiero +' marked Marito's debut, a single that fuses influences from the post-punk sound with forceful bass riffs and monotonous rhythms, wrapped in an atmosphere of distorted synthesizers. His vocal style, which oscillates between melodic and humorous, adds a distinctive electroclash touch. This unique combination immediately attracts the attention of Nativo's creative team, who proposed a remix by Roliva who stripped the song down to its essence, creating a disco-punk version that preserves the original essence but masterfully adapts to the context. With his characteristic touch, Roliva linking drums and guitars to a beat for the club.a

Granados - Juniors Irresponsables (Priorato (Mx) Remix)

"Algo Mal” is originally a very dark track, which hits hard with the kick as soon as you press play, very straight and with a growing tension. We immediately thought of slightly relaxing the tension, letting the dark atmospheres take a breather by cutting out some sub, effects and synth bass. We added the vocal part that distinguishes almost all the tracks of our latest productions, and since Parasex is also a post-punk rock project, we played some guitars and basses. These adjustments make the whole thing a bit cinematic even if the track is always meant to be played in clubs and precisely with the idea of ​​making people dance, the final touch was to record a live drum part on the track. It was an instinctive process born in the middle of the night, the result of the experimental period we are experiencing in these months of spasmodic production. We hope that the result is to your liking and that it is fun to dance and interesting to listen to.

Release date: 27 September, 2024.
