Futur-E Latest Releases

Premieres

The talented Greek producer has previously released on Tulipa Recordings, Manual Music, Traum and Tenampa, and now joins the Asymmetric team with 'Metroon Rihea'.

Rihea starts proceedings nicely, with an energetic grooved peak time slab of dance floor goodness. Plenty of drive and a touch of swagger makes this gem really rock. Its twisted synth line and cool fx meet clever percussion and culminate in a bit of a gem.

Better Tomorrow (The Remixes)

Proton Premiere: David Granha & Flowers and Sea Creatures - Better Tomorrow (Futur-E Remix)

The 73th release on Nikko.Z's Dopamine Music welcomes Futur-E to the label for his debut EP. The Greek artist owns an impressive discography which includes releases on Cinematique, MNL and Traum. Now he brings his melodic techno sound to Dopamine Music with a brand new EP entitled 'Stigma'. Spread out over three tracks the 'Stigma' EP finds the Greek artist showcasing his diverse studio repertoire. Beginning with the title cut Futur-E explores timeless moods over a deep techno framework. Pulsating, rhythmic and delightfully meditative the piece works through vocal delays and charming hooks with an effortless flair. Fitting the new Dopamine ethos perfectly it sits at ease in a broad range of DJ sets, while a well crafted break brings just enough heat for the dance floor. The second selection 'Anachronism' follows a similar approach with punchy beats and sleek rhythms. Undulating bass sits at the foundation, layered with bright tones and percussive waves. it's a boundless energy, eventually dissipating into the break where indistinct vocal loops and sheets of noise build tension before a powerful drop. The release concludes with the deeper yet equally engaging 'Chroma'. Distinctive vocals and timely drum fills make for a lovely beginning before a complement of chord stabs pushes the vibe higher. Free flowing through the break, a secondary motif fades the forefront before the groove drops for one final rush. Three stunning creations from Futur-E who continues to broaden his sonic scope with this offering. Highly Recommended. Words by Mitch Alexander (Change Underground). Artwork by Dimitrios Papanikos. Mastered by Dopamine Music. Distributed by Proton.

At the "crossroads of shape, sound and expression," United Colors of Rhythm offers a new perspective on electronic music. For the second time in less than a year, the imprint loads its pallet with many shades of Indie Dance! The second volume of its self-titled comp features both foreign and familiar talents. Eclectic roster addition Nova Materia closes the release with “Speak in Tongues.” Utilizing the original’s "found sounds," ALI X x XIMENA also make their label debut. As the founding member of Azari & III, Ali’s roots mixing house and rock certainly run deep. The duo’s remix thus evokes grainy synths, eerie vox and more lively instrumentation.

As one of Japan’s most prolific electronic music producers, Hideo Kobayashi specializes in soulful deep house and floor-smashing techno. Back in March, he launched his own label to push these divergent sounds. Standard Music thus serves as a model for “quality, functional and beautiful” above all else! For its next release, RIWIN takes that sentiment to a whole new level. The Balinese musician and spiritual healer once played in popular Indonesian bands called Pahama and Tropical Transit. When not riffing with the latter, he can now be found mixing electronic music. Rising from his home studio, “Bali Cloud” gushes smooth atmos, soft percussion and balearic guitar.

Premiere: RIWIN - Bali Cloud [Standard Music]

MI.LA - Sun [Exotic Refreshment]

Available 31, October on https://soundcloud.com/oleeva-records featuring https://soundcloud.com/padreuk

Each release on Oleeva Records involves careful tact and loving intention. Even its album covers are original works of art! The label now presents one of its most "authentic” offerings yet. “Possible Worlds” illustrates the evolution of a true legend. Thanks to classics like “Sacred Cycles” and “Wavespeech,” Pete Lazonby is synonymous with the early 90’s rave scene. Decades later, he sheds those dark, progressive labels in favor of more refined tastes. Classified as Hip-Hop / R&B, “Professor Firefly” ends Padre's debut album on a very playful note.

Balkan Connection South America hasn’t skipped a beat since 2008. In fact, it's maintained a monthly schedule ever since! The Argentinian label’s remarkable 433rd release now welcomes back Francesco Pico. Nearly one year after “Smoothie," the Dutchman delivers another glistening original track. East Cafe also continues a long-awaited comeback to the Balkan Connection family. Like a summer remix of Isaac Differding, the Hungarian applies distinctive "refinement, detail and depth” to “Running in the Cloud.”
