Tras lanzamientos en Hivern Disc y NitsaTraxx entre muchos otros sellos, el prolífico productor español aparece por primera vez en Calypso Records con un EP de 4 temas que llevaba mucho tiempo esperando ver la luz... y por fin ha llegado el momento.

La música va desde sonidos percusivos en cámara lenta hasta líneas de bajo ácidas y sonidos modulados que reverberan profundamente en la mente. 

La atmósfera de la música es enigmática, cinematográfica y futurista pero también melancólica y primitiva. Hay muchas habilidades en el estilo de producción de este productor barcelonés.

Para completar el paquete, Mr Tc ofrece un hipnótico remix que hace de este EP un regreso muy fuerte para Calypso Records.

It’s common knowledge that KOMPAKT’s TOTAL series serves as our yearbook, a musical wrap up of the past 12 months. Therefore it doesn’t come as a surprise that this year’s edition is informed by another pandemic year, where dancefloors were still mostly deserted and the devastating developments in Eastern Europe. Kompakt’s A&R team still kept on foot on the imaginary dancefloor, while scouting different realms apart from the big room euphoria. Anyway, brain dance has always been a key ingredient to our catalogue.

The Voigt brothers are opening this year´s vinyl edition in an unusually romantic fashion. ‘Why’ combines a bubbly FM bassline with lush washes of looped guitars. High off the (presumably high) heels of her recent album ‘Jesus Was An Alien’ she delivers a spanking new excursion into her sonic world, ‘The Hill’. Our Mexican friend Rebolledo makes his first ever solo appearance on TOTAL with his trademark hypnotic desert sound. Jürgen Paape is calling a spade a spade with ‘Le Monde À Changé’ – The world has changed indeed. Our prodigal son, Matias Aguayo, returns to the mothership with ‘Cinco Y Rojo’. An exercise in Chicago-esque groove theory paired with a cheeky visitor from Denmark. Spot the reference and win a pair of hooves. It’s hard to find a quality party around Cologne without Jonathan Kaspar on its bill. Rightly so, as he continues to hone his craft as an impeccable DJ and producer. Michael gives the tremendously talented Danish singer songwriter eee gee a proper Mayer treatment and Kompakt founding member Jörg Burger closes off the festivities with a groovy midtempo chugger that reminisces ‘Blue Lines’ era Massive Attack as much as the late Andy Weatheralls low slung psychedelia.

About the album: 

With "Closer", PNFA — the long-running electronic music project of German producer and composer Wolfram Gruss — presents a deeply emotional, sonically rich dance album that manages to balance physical intensity with lyrical introspection. Rooted in the rhythmic DNA of techno, house, and UK garage, "Closer" reaches far beyond the dancefloor. It is a record about memory, longing, and the fragile beauty of connection.

Though every track is anchored in powerful grooves and basslines, there’s an unmistakable emotional core that permeates the album. Gruss masterfully weaves in cinematic melodies, textured atmospheres, and subtle harmonic shifts that suggest stories without words. These aren’t just tracks built for movement — they are meditations on lost love, on moments that once burned brightly and have since faded, on the kind of nostalgia that hits hardest when the night is at its peak.

From pulsating, club-ready cuts to more reflective, slow-building compositions, "Closer" flows like a carefully curated journey. Each track stands strong on its own, yet together they form a cohesive narrative that invites listeners to go inward, even as their bodies respond to the rhythm. It’s this tension — between momentum and stillness, between euphoria and melancholy — that defines the emotional terrain of the album.

Wolfram Gruss has long held a reputation for thought-provoking electronic music, and "Closer" continues this trajectory with remarkable depth and attention to detail. Every sound feels deliberate yet organic, each percussive element finely tuned, each melodic layer carefully placed. There’s an intimacy to the production that makes the album feel personal, even vulnerable, despite its club foundations.

"Closer" is not just an album to dance to — it’s one to feel deeply. It’s about closing the distance between past and present, between sound and story, between artist and listener. It asks you to move, but also to remember. It pulses with life, yet leaves space for silence. Above all, it is an invitation: to come closer, to feel more, and to lose yourself — not just in the music, but in everything it brings to the surface.

To celebrate Moodfamily’s 10th release, we return to our beginning.

AMyn resurfaces with an excellent 5 track EP 'Keeper of the Groove' as he explores the outer reaches of the strict rhythmic and melodic boundaries imposed in contemporary techno.

AMyn creates, on the thin line between dissonance and in tune, a wonderful tale of dreadful melancholy.

V/A - Hexagonal Club LP
Release date : February 28, 2020
Label : Pont Neuf Records (https://soundcloud.com/pontneuf)
PRE-ORDER LINK : https://lnk.to/HexagonalClub
https://soundcloud.com/tour-maubourg

What has become the French house scene? The decade that has just ended has brought a new momentum with a generation of producers and labels following in the footsteps of their predecessors who have made all the fame of the French touch era.

Four years after its launch, Pont Neuf Records, considered as « one of the most essential house labels of the hexagonal scene » by Mixmag, continues to « participate in the revival of the genre » (Trax Magazine) by producing a large part of these young producers who represent the new French house scene. For its 4th birthday, the label makes no exception to its rule and brings together 10 artists from this hyperactive scene on a new compilation.

Hexagonal Club presents a multiple range of sounds - from filtered disco-house to more percussive deep- house sounds - with original tracks from Tour-Maubourg, Madcat (and his alias Chaus), Mangabey, Herr Krank, Vitess, KX9000 , Cosmonection, Calmos & Berzingue (formerly ALVA) and TAOS.

The compilation opens just like an early evening, with a first side on which Madcat and KX9000 put some funky basslines and guitar riffs in the spotlight. TAOS and Mangabey then introduce us to more breaky tones mixing heady melodies with brokenbeat rhythms. With the tracks of Herr Krank and Cosmonection the Hexagonal Club definitively opens its doors to a delicious combination of euphoric deep house and acid bass lines. Calmos & Berzingue and Vitess are rushing a little more into more mental house universes with hypnotic and clearly pure dancefloor tracks. Madcat then shows us the full extent of his producing palette with a track on the edge of jungle influences and a jazzy-liquid-drum’n’bass ones under his alias Chaus. The Hexagonal Club finally closes its doors on an electronica and a dreamlike synth arpeggio from Tour-Maubourg that ends in an emotional way this new compilation.
