This EP starts with a collaboration between Tony Y Not (@tony-mukke)and Bonnie Spacey (@bonniespacey) and the desire to do an only women EP. Women have long been at the forefront of pushing the sonic envelope in electronic music. Although not always obvious, we decided to put them in the spotlight in an industry where they are still underrepresented.
The sounds of the three original tracks by Tony y Not and Bonnie Spacey is in line with the artistic direction of the label: clubby, sexy, dark disco!
Justine Forever (@justineforever) and Shubostar (@shubostar) were the perfect match for remixes to add a bit of a new wave synth and cosmic vibe to it.
We are proud of the girls and the WOMEN ONLY EP is intended to become a recurring meeting on Critical Monday (@criticalmondayrecords).

(ES) Ombra INTL es de esa clase de sellos que no da puntada sin hilo, que en todo momento saben lo que hacen y no dejan nada al capricho del azar, aunque a veces sus decisiones nos puedan parecer insólitas, poco comerciales o fuera de lugar. Ahora aterriza de nuevo con su última referencia, la número 010. Esta vez, empuñando una paleta sonora inmersiva, un amalgama de influencias de varias décadas proyectadas de forma tan singular como personal. Artistas como Cornelius Doctor, Sebastian Voigt, Mufti o Colossio, con el cual tenemos el placer de presentar, se dan cita en un disco trabajado con mimo, dando lo mejor que se podía ofrecer.

El track que nos viene a caso, ECO, de Colossio, es bello, emocional, con luces y sombras, consiguiendo dar con un resultado redondo, que no flaquea por ningún lado. La elegancia, el vigor y la aventura no están reñidas con la accesibilidad, y aquí se demuestra en cada una de sus notas. El resultado es cautivador, con la cantidad perfecta de sustancia para que sea incombustible, presentado con un estilo potente que va desde lo clásico hacia lo más innovador. Una delicia sólo para melómanos. Join Us!

(EN) Ombra INTL is of that kind of stamps that does not give stitch without thread, that at all times know what they do and leave nothing to the whim of chance, although sometimes their decisions may seem unusual, not commercial or out of place. Now he lands again with his last reference, the number 010. This time, wielding an immersive sound palette, an amalgam of influences of several decades projected as singularly as personally. Artists like Cornelius Doctor, Sebastian Voig, Mufti or Colossio, with whom we have the pleasure of presenting, come together on a disc worked with care, giving the best that could be offered.

The track that comes to us, ECO, by Colossio, is beautiful, emotional, with lights and shadows, getting a round result, which does not falter anywhere. Elegance, vigor and adventure are not at odds with accessibility, and here it is demonstrated in each of its notes. The result is captivating, with the perfect amount of substance to make it fireproof, presented with a powerful style that ranges from the classic to the most innovative. A delight only for music lovers. Join Us!

PREMIERE: Colossio - ECO [OMBRA INTL] (2019)

Hi there, this is the already third installment of the Familiar Faces anthology. For those who missed the first two: all the contributors to this fine selection of tunes are whether label residents who already provided their fair share to its backcatalogue or friends and affiliates, the Riotvan family hooked up with in one way or another (pun intended, by the way. Looking at you, New Hook). The connecting link being a certain like-mindedness in mentality and sonic expression, once again shaping this compilation up to the utmost current status update of what is going on in the Riotvan world.

And for a kick-off there's even some sort of premiere ushering things in with Reznik & Mikesh's opening tune Calumet. Both dudes are far from being strangers to the label, but teaming up and handing in this ferocious Acid stronghold of a tune, after they introduced themselves just recently with a Telepopmusik-remix, puts themself out there as a force to be reckoned with.     

Then there's Llewellyn, Riotvan mainstay and one of the focal artists when it comes to NeoDisco done the smart way. His new track Falling Apart definitely is no exception to the rule - delightful arpeggios, peculiar vocal-parts and one hell of a catchy synth-hook, engaging the time warp right back to the 80's.
It's no big secret that Jennifer Touch has a certain knack for that era, too. Her Hollow Flake gives us a foretaste of her debut album that will be out in April on Fat Cat Records and checks the listener in on another cruise through bleak emotive waters, building on a stomach punching beat and rough acidlines, graced by her sometimes distant, sometimes heartwarming chant.

Mexican friends Zombies In Miami have been playing on Riotvan nights already and now they leave their mark within the release records as well with Soleil, a soulful peaktime gem full of gloomy deepness.

Then there is the Zombie's compatriot Paulor with a hyper-organic sounding Letter To Futura that's shaped out of e-guitar and bass, Postpunk-emulating drums and percussion and an even Krautrock-reminiscing, trippy jam-aesthetic.

Speaking of Postpunk, closing things off are New Hook with their haunting and forceful O T - a cold sounding, yet fiercely intoned social criticism with unmistakable nods towards Malaria or Die Tödliche Doris, yet presented with an urgency that sets them apart from any formal retro-self-sufficiency.

Buy: https://www.beatport.com/track/orbit-carrot-original-mix/13579536
Release Date : 2020-05-25

Expert Bouncers signals the return of Stevie R to his imprint Inside Out Records, working with longtime collaborator and modular synthesis expert TAOMA.
The EP starts off with Orbit carrot, a high-energy, left-field disco track with modular experiments, heavily destroyed vocal samples and a sense of musical freedom balanced with maturity that is characteristic of Stevie Rs recent releases.
No-holding back remixes by Intergalactic house legend Man Power and peak-time expert Freudenthal complete the first part of this EP. Sequential biscuits is a wonky collection of modular acid lines produced in the studio during a late night jam, and re-worked in a slow, percussion based dub by Parisinos.

PREMIERE : Stevie R & TAOMA - Orbit Carrot (Original Mix) [Inside Out]

Correspondant return with another cosmic tonic to combat these strange and turbulent times. Four slices of smouldering, sexy, groove-toned deep disco, perfect for any lockdown or socially distanced scenario you can possibly imagine, they come courtesy of Tel Aviv's Niv Ast who's been making a name for himself in all the right places; Nein, Duro, Ombra, Relish and of course this very label with two big cameos last year remixing Fort Romeau and appearing on the 'Nume'ro 2' collection. This is his debut EP for Correspondent and arguably his biggest EP to date; 'I Remember' sets the hazy, introspective mood with purring spoken word and salubrious instrumentation before 'Ninja's Mothership' goes all-out psychedelic with sweeping guitar blasts and a slinky, writhing groove. Deeper again we hit pure uncut funk in the form of 'Hyperball Superball' before 'Poisson d'Argent' brings home the silver... A hook-up with good friend Cornelius Doctor, and easily the heaviest piece of the release, it's a chugging cosmic finale laced with layers of textures and sounds to completely lose yourself within. Strange, turbulent, smouldering, sexy; this is the perfect music to stay safe to... Correspondence is key right now. Let us know how you feel.

Rex The Dog has truly been Kompakt’s best friend since his debut “Prototype" came out in 2004. This London based producer’s signature sound channels the best of EBM, Nu Groove and solid state Rave Techno.

His 8 EP contribution to Kompakt over that time has become an integral part of the label’s story and his expansive modular synth live show is a unique experience in its own right.

We recently re-released Rex The Dog’s core back catalogue and the thought came to us – why not have a few of his favourite producers remix their favourite singles? The results come as “Versions” – a collection of 3 remixes from a varied crew of producers.

Krystal Klear is a staple of the Running Back family and runs his own Cold Tonic imprint. He picks “Vortex” and though sticks to the original melody, he contorts the dimension of the single into intergalactical levels of hi-nrg inducing techno.

Bawrut’s releases on Ransom Note speak volumes of his immense talent and he picks the classic “Sicko" to great effect. He conjures an endless intro – one of those build ups that make us miss the crowds of yesteryear ever so dearly.

Finally, the Austrian starlet Wolfram digs deep and goes for “Circulate” – a track that Kompakt never even released. Wolfram shamelessly takes the essence of Trance and New Wave to translate the original into a piece of pure dance floor glory for the modern age.

Last spotted on the inaugural ‘Muy Duro’ volume, Russian duo Wolfstream jump aboard Theus Mago’s unstoppable Duro vehicle with their first full EP for the label… And they’re taking full navigational controls.

‘Khoomei’ sets the parameters. A widescreen slab of lolloping percussive dark disco characterised by the unique Mongolian throat singing it takes its name from, there’s a state of transcendence as we lock tighter and tighter to the loose-flowing groove.

The same can be said for ‘From Z To Ulu’. Once again bringing human voices to the rhythmic table, there’s a palpable soul coded deep into late night synthetic groove. Best compared to Black Strobe at their peak, there’s a deep 3am mischief that’s amplified consummately by Hanzo & Yaman on their remix.

Complete with a synth bass slapping remix of ‘Khoomei’ from the Duro boss Theus himself, we conclude with ‘Avacha Bay Hunters’. A tempestuous rolling slice of percussive hypnotica, the explorative theme persists right through to the very finale. Taking its name and spirit from the furthest Russian outpost, right on the nose of the Pacific ocean, once again Wolfstream take us to places we’ve never knew existed in more ways than one…. Buen viaje.

Wolfstream - From Z To Ulu (Hanzo & Yaman Remix)

Rheinzand is a collaborative project between Reinhard Vanbergen, the multi-instrumentalist producer, Charlotte Caluwaerts (Tundra) and Mo Disko from the renowned duo ‘The Glimmers.’ Live on stage they are accompanied by Stéphane Misseghers (dEUS) on drums and Bruno Coussée (MannGold) on bass.

Rheinzand’s music is a mixture of styles inspired by dance music’s rich history. Their songs give nods to old & new genres, forgotten & popular scenes in order to create their own take on today’s musical landscape.

Their exotic & eclectic style caught the ears of Danish label ‘Music For Dreams’ on which they released their debut self titled album in March 2020. Piccadilly Records (Manchester) voted the album number 1 album of the year 2020 and Phonica (London) gave them a well-deserved place in their top 50 of best albums of 2020. 

 Tracks from the album such as ‘Blind’ were championed by DJ Harvey during his summer residency at Pikes Ibiza, and the band have had tracks on the first two volumes of his Mercury Rising compilations.

The singles ‘Kills & Kisses’, ‘Obey’ & ‘Slippery People’ (their fantastic cover of Talking Heads’ classic) has further demonstrated their unique and flawless production that is capturing the hearts and dance-floors around the world.
As the live music industry held its breath for a year due to covid, the band didn’t get the chance to bring the first album to a club or festival near you. 

Nevertheless, they used that time well and wrote a second album, titled ‘Atlantis Atlantis’. Still using the same ingredients, you can hear an evolution in song writing, the use of different languages and more song-based structures. The release is planned for early 2022.

To keep momentum during the pandemic, the band and label Music For Dreams commissioned a string of remixes from their debut album from the likes of Gerd Janson, Red Axes, Musumeci, Pete Herbert, Peaking Lights, Superpitcher + many more. Released on digital & Ltd Edition 12”

Hailing from Gent, Belgium the band are set to tour upon the release of their second album 'Atlantis Atlantis' planned for the 4th of February 2022.
