The latest addition of Roam Recordings offers three stunning remixes of Berlin based 80s New Wave inspired band Pardon Moi. Following the success of their singles “Addiction” on Emerald & Doreen Recordings and “Inside the Outside” on Nein (which has been featured on BBC Radio) the Berlin duo Pardon Moi consisting of Thomas Freudenthal and James Brook have penned the evocative “Power to the People” along with “Touch2Much” which have been released in original form on 7” vinyl from Hoga Nord Rekords. In the “Power to the People Remixes” EP, Roam Recordings has gathered together a dream team of top remixers - Damon Jee, Markus Gibb, and Curses - who each put their own spin on the originals. Damon Jee starts it out with an an energetic and anthemic version of Power to the People that’s sure to get people on their feet. Markus Gibb moves Power to the People into slightly darker and heavier territory with exquisite production that has become his trademark. Switching gears, Curses takes on Touch2Much and keeps the 80s vibe alive with a stylish upbeat dub that’s both quirky and fun.

All three of these remixes come together in an action packed trio of tracks that will surely be a go to when looking to get the dance floor movin’.

PREMIERE | Pardon Moi - Power To The People (Damon Jee Remix)[Roam Recordings] 2017

Lumière Noire’s 30th release, the Esta Noche EP, brings together Italian-born, Mexico-based artist Rodion, a classically trained pianist known for his productions on Gomma, Eskimo and Roccodis co among others and Chilean artist Alejandro Paz of Coméme and Huntleys & Palmers fame, who is also a classically trained musician. The two artists met in Ciudad de México and quickly bonded over their similar backgrounds in classical music and their shared passion for harmony as well as a love for romantic music, no doubt due to the “latin roots” uniting Italy and Latin America.

The Esta Noche EP features three songs which are much more than mere tracks, with a distinctive Latinx feel and unapologetic new wave influences, accompanied by a phenomenal remix by the brilliant Fabrizio Mammarella from Italy.

Opening the EP with a nocturnal field recording shrouding the track in a dark haze, Esta Noche features an understated bassline with an analog feel, catchy stabs and a dance-inducing rhythmic section. As the song develops and it soon becomes evident that its new wave indebted mise en scène and dramatic arrangements set it apart from run of the mill productions.

Featuring the man behind EMET Records, a known purveyor of outstanding remixes, Esta Noche’s remix by Fabrizio Mammarella is an absolute belter, clocking at 110 BPM. With FM synths, pitched samples, elegant pads, melodic squeals, and a heavy, hard-hitting arpeggiated bassline, the spirit of late 80s EBM reigns supreme in this rugged and ruthless chugger, hypnotic and almost disorienting in its repetition. This remix is a reminder that you don’t need high tempos to yield maximal results on the dancefloor.

At 101 BPM, Una Vez Mas is a plodding anthem standing out with its gorgeous chord progressions, reminiscent of Shep Pettibone's cult remix for Depeche Mode. Full of feeling and emotion this is not a sleepy downtempo affair but rather a slice of heartfelt and yearning Latinx crooning with a proper verse, chorus and breakdown structure. Perfectly fit for darkly lit dancefloors.

Closing the EP, Dime Que No is a different kind of Spanish-language new wave-influenced number, with plenty of feels. On one hand, melodic elements including an analog bass synth, pad chords, and subtle stabs support the tune's heartfelt vocals, and on the other, dissonant percussive and melodic elements act as a counterpoint. The way these different elements coalesce gives a feeling to the song that is both melancholic and psychedelic, with both producers letting sensitivity and a certain kind of fragility slip through the cracks on this haunting closer.

HF: How did you discover this track ? Why did you choose to edit it ? 

DF : I'm a big fan of YMO and the work of its members since my teenagehood. I believe I heard this record by Hosono about 5 years ago, when I moved to Berlin and was living with my old flatmates, who had a crazy amount of records, but I think it was 2 years ago when I heard ’Shambala Signal' consciously and imagined what I could do with those bells and percussions which are all over the original track, finally during quarantine I had plenty of time to work on music and remembered I wanted to edit this track. It was finished quite quickly and fluidly, since I still had, luckily, a fresh idea of what I wanted to do and how wanted it to sound. I used mainly the chops from the original track, soft synths and samplers to work it.

Stockholm Syndrome - Confined The Mind(Alex Aguayo Remix)

After an impasse due to the complex situation of Covid19, the Melómana Records label, characterized by always offering a selection of unique producers and sounds, without losing its accessibility, thanks also to the taste faire of the Gameboyz curatorship, continues its course against the wind and tide, and this time he does it with a new musical bet, by Guatemalan artist Fabio Me Llaman Soltero, who presents his EP: 1960 Chris Craft. In this album, Fabio manages to display an evolved, refined and enhanced sound, with the most avant-garde, powerful and magnetic contemporary European influences, consolidating the trajectory of a producer who is not lacking in notable virtues, presented with such unique and fresh nuances , which manage to shape unique pieces, as enjoyable in a club as at home.

A new delivery of Side UP Works arrives, with an excellent original mix, coming from the enchanted factory of Javier Martinez & Undefined Pattern, who invite us to let ourselves be absorbed by a black hole full of riding basses, omnipresent sparkling percussions, synthesizer lines very deep corporeal and voices from beyond, coming from another galaxy. In mathematics, the distance between two points in space is equal to the length of the segment of the line that joins them, in this case, "Distance" goes beyond mathematics, and as if this bomb were not enough, The present eleventh Side UP Works reference gives us 3 magnificent remixes.

INCOMING : Sascha Funke & Niklas Wandt  - Kreidekreis #MultiCulti

release date : 2020-11-03

Buy : https://multiculti.bandcamp.com/album/kreidekreis

Follow-up EP for Multi Culti from this Berlin duo merging sleek Krautrock influences, decades long production experience, jazz-percussion chops and funky German vocals. 

'Kometenschweif' will sound the most familiar to fans of Sascha Funke's club-ready tracks, with percussive and vocal flourishes from Niklas Wandt.  'Kreidekreis' takes the tempo down while ramping up the trippiness, a circular journey into funk bass, synth prog, and again, a percussion masterclass. Finally 'Weg Vom Leder' sounds like a lost Falco tune, brought up to date.

On the remix side, Alexander Arpeggio somehow manages to swing 'Kreidekreis' into a digital reggae slowburner, while Whodamanny turns Kometenschweif toward indie-kraut-wave bop.

Velax - Generation Y

A dedication and pledge to support indigenous peoples and preserve unique cultures around the world, Sinchi is so much more than a crew, platform or label. A many-headed initiative, comprising of their own charitable foundation, it’s much more of a movement. A movement that channels the energy of its love for meaningful, forward-thinking house and techno to raise awareness, funds and spirits.

Since launching last year they've welcomed the likes of Sascha Funke, Roe Deers, Damon Jee, Khidja, Curses and, of course, @TheRealHeidenreich. An emerging Berlin-based artist, also one half of indie dance act Leggings, he made his debut on Sinchi earlier this year on their ‘Altered States Vol 2’ collection and now, following releases on Nein and Cielo, returns with another heady delight ‘Je Palpite’…

More of an adventure than a song, ‘Je Palpite’ spends its stately nine minutes roaming without restriction. Electro in texture, free in spirit, the worming bassline, harmonic percussion and sudden twists are held together by the provocative Français purrs of experimental, industrial-minded artist @ANGSTvorGRETA. Seductive, sultry and unpredictable; it’s another strike for the artist who’s on a battle to fight binary dance music.

Calypso Records bossman @ThomassJackson closes the show on a much slinkier, trippier tone, using the vocals as textures over the snake-like drum patterns.

Throb by name. Throbbing by nature.

Cosmic dance and spatial atmospherics are at the very centre of Zakmina’s productions, as the Lithuanian producer readies an appetizing EP for Dave Harvey’s Futureboogie, backed with a remix from the always on-point Gnork.

With releases already wetting our ears on Critical Monday, XXX and Roam Recordings, Zakmina spreads his wings across three new cuts. ‘Church Of Madness’ pumps with oodles of new beat drums and soaring synths, anchored by a fat arpeggiated bassline, whilst ‘Déjà vu’ is a first class chugger, its drums as big as 80’s shoulder pads, with glacial keys and breezy vocals comprising the seductive sensations on offer here.

Premiere: Mytron - Plaza (Nick Berlin New Beat Mix) [XXX]

Thunderous steps echoed through the streets, creating a sinister cacophony of sounds that reverberated of the city walls. Lines of armoured men marched in unison, there army stretching far across the hills and beyond the distance. Their destination was of no importance, it was the journey that would mattered, and the challenges they'd have to contend with along the way.

After releasing several EPs under the moniker Fabian Kash, Swede producer Leo af Ekenstam makes his debut under his own name for Madrid-based imprint Play Pal Music, which is set for release on 13th November. Alongside Ekenstam's two original tracks that marry pulsing rhythms, psychedelic synth lines and sinister melodies, the label have enlisted the skills of several artists to put their own spin on both tracks, including Eliezer, Cornelius Doctor, Local Suicide alongside Time to Sleep and Motel77.

Exclusive: Heidenreich feat. ANGST vor GRETA - Je Palpite (Chinaski Remix)

Berlin-East Frisian Heindenreich, also known as one half of Leggings, a slow Indie-Dance formation with his partner in crime DJ Cremant, challenges Francophile vocalist ANGST vor GRETA for his Je Palpite EP on Dutch label Sinchi Collective. Beside the original version of Je Palpite, the track comes with remixes from Calypso head honcho Thomas Jackson and Robert Johnson mainstay Chinaski, who finally delivers new material after his collaboration with Curses on Dischi Autunno earlier this year. As expected and as fresh as a tropical fruit Chinaski squeezes the Disco-ish note out of Heidenreich's original and exchanges it with more progressive and heavily hitting electroid essences that turn his version of Je Palpite to a kiwano, an exotic warm composition with an edgy and raw musical backbone.

Heidenreich feat. ANGST vor GRETA's EP Je Palpite will be released on Sinchi Collective on October 30th, 2020.

PREMIERE – Club Tularosa – Pyramids (MeMeMe Recordings)

Her Majesty’s Ship celebrates release number 50 with a fantastic new EP from Mufti ft. Vongold that will be preceded by two singles - ‘Inverse’ on November 6th, then ‘Moonstruck’ on November 20th, before the full EP lands on November 27th with a superb music video to accompany ‘Silence’.

Mufti is Bernardo Barrera, a multi instrumentalist producer from Guadalajara, Mexico. This project comes after being part of Los Fugazzi, and finds him focus more on rock variants and 80’s music. A mix of electronics with disco, electro, EBM and post punk define the sound. Vongold, meanwhile, is Nora Cam, a DJ and producer also from Guadalajara and influenced by genres such as disco, new wave and various girl bands. Her sounds seek to highlight the female voice, merging it with indie dance for an extra special edge.

The idea behind this EP, which draws on the influence of bands like Depeche Mode, Lebanon Hanover and The Kvb, was to "convey how we are constantly feeling anxious and chased by our failures. And
even if we need to scream, the pressure and idealisation of modern life immobilises us and shuts us up."

Opening up the release is the superb ‘Silence’, a slow motion but high impact deep disco cut with a fat bassline and sensuous vocals. ‘Inverse’ is more punchy, with rugged bass and drums run through by
withering sci-fi synths and deadpan vocals from Vongold. ‘Totem’ is an excellent fusion of dark wave styles and crashing hits, it’s a new form of electronic punk that draws you deep into its own unique
sound world. Last of all is ‘Moonstruck’, a prowling late night groove filled with tension and menace.

This is a fittingly standout 50th EP for a label that has very much carved out its own singular place in the electronic music world.
