Electric Communion Podcast presents Maicol MP - Episode 5

In this podcast, I chat to Italian producer Maicol MP. With a string of productions, collaborations and remixes under his belt on labels such as Surrrealism, Terranova, Kindisch, Future Frequencies and Ephemeral, Maicol is a name that is very much on the rise in the current melodic house and techno scene. 

His biggest release to date – Lilac Flame – came out earlier this year in the form of  a collaboration with Iranian producer Hamoon which was released on the Surrrealism label’s ‘Speechless II’ VA. With its dark, moody percussive arrangements and melodies, the track was a hit in the clubs with scene heavyweights Trikk, Aera and fellow Italian Ivory playing it out.

Maicol’s next ep, produced alongside long-time collaborator Steedo, is due out soon on Metrica and in this podcast, you get to hear an exclusive preview of their track ‘Ant’s March’, which to date has only been played out by Trikk b2b with Jimi Jules at the Innervisions Offsonar event in Barcalona 2022. 

Hear him talk about the making of these tracks, his approach to music production and much more.

One debut follows another: Next up on Stil vor Talent Zoo Brazil and Anthony Middleton's “Good Times" combines the result of a longstanding friendship and their first incursion on the label while delivering a true dancefloor anthem.

Anthony Middleton kickstarted his career DJing in iconic Marbella clubs and refining production skills at a pioneering UK music technology school in the mid-90s. His musical journey led him to the vibrant dance music scene in London. Meanwhile, Zoo Brazil, also known as John Andersson, earned Grammy and Brit Awards nominations, solidifying his reputation as an innovative and respected figure in dance music.
Guided by a shared affinity for analogue exploration, the duo employed an arsenal of vintage and modern gear, including the Vintage ARP 2600, Moog Model D, SSL AWS 900+se Console, and more. The resulting composition, “Good Times,” has seamlessly woven haunting melancholy into an irresistibly groovy symphony.
As a testament to its prowess, the track has been a closely guarded secret weapon in the DJ sets of both Zoo Brazil and Anthony for over a year. The mindset behind its creation was one of spontaneity, a deliberate choice to let creativity flow unhindered. “Good Times” stands as an authentic reflection of their musical synergy, inviting listeners into a realm where friendship and innovation harmoniously converge.
