“I think in long terms when I do my music...I don't care about trends...I do the soundtrack of my life”

This simple philosophy of Robert Babicz (or Rob Acid if you will) is exactly the reason why he's one of the hottest producers in the scene right now. With musical wizardry that transports the listener to outer dimensions of space and keeps the dance floors moving, we present to you the next installment of Robert's magical quest. Music that tells a story, just like fairy tales that your grandmother softly whispered in your ear at bed time. With a heavy touring schedule all over the planet, Robert’s productions draws inspiration from all corners of the world.

Robert’s Beautiful day mix is elegant medley of spacey melodies, with night mix taking the stakes a little bit higher…floating amongst dark synth stabs and warm percussion, while “Prepare Yourself” is deeply hypnotic slow builder.

The remix package is an absolute beast, with 5 different gems by some of the best producers at the moment. Tom Middleton’s Liquatech mix is like the sun’s smile in the early morning and Brazil's own Wehbba hammers out a hard hitting anthem that will roll over the dance floor like a tsunami wave. Mr. subtract music himself, Anton Tumas teams up with Explosive Bolts for an epic journey with deep atmospheres while Ricky Ryan and Vipul's uplifting groovy mix is the perfect cherry on top. Rounding out the EP is DAVI, with his 4am industrial warehouse “On Acid Mix”, which is simply...ACID!

Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans (Gesaffelstein Remix)

Only five releases away from the 100th, Rodriguez Jr. delivers on the 095 with a generous 4-track, digital only edition titled "Muppet Anthem".

The self-titled number makes up the first track on the EP with a pleasant array of upbeat house-party elements and groovy vocals making this piece of work totally dance-floor worthy in the heat of the summer.

Seething down to the second track, "Ocean Drive" takes it down a notch by starting the track with exotic and tropical elements as it progresses into a high peak of faster beats and steady keyboard strikes. Its a number that will leave your feet grounded as your swaying shoulders and bobbing head lead the dance.

"Satellite" comprises the third number an emotional hymn bursting with soulful vocals and periodic tambourine jingles and jangles. Enjoy this eye closer preferably with your head back and arms reaching towards the sky.

Closing out the set is "Palo Alto", a high tempo number with various calculated beats one setting off the next. Crying vocals wrapped in multi-faceted elements will leave even your goosebumps dancing.

The French producer/DJ has a stupendous track record with mobilee and its sister label, Leena. In 2011 he released his very first album titled "Bittersweet" on the mobilee imprint. The summer of 2012 has seen weekly gigs throughout Europes favorite beach bars and waterfront clubs with Rodriguez Jr.

Après une tournée à succès avec ses Mojos l’année dernière, Asaf Avidan annonce une « pause créative illimitée ».

L’attente en valait manifestement la peine.

Sur ce premier EP, prélude d’un nouvel album à paraître début 2013 chez Polydor, Asaf Avidan  pousse encore plus loin son songwriting  et l’immisce  naturellement dans de nouvelles sonorités  où folk et electronica offrent un écrin inédit à sa voix hors du commun.

En plus de 2 nouveaux titres, on découvrira également deux lectures de « Different Pulses », son 1er single à travers les remixes de Joris Delacroix, membre du collectif sudiste WOH Lab  et du duo JBNV (aka Nicolas Villebrun de Pony Hoax et Jacques Bon).
Artiste en perpétuel évolution, Asaf Avidan annonce avec Different Pulses un des albums les plus passionnant du début 2013. 
 
Different Pulses Ep :

1.       Different Pulses
2.       Conspiratory visons of Gomorrah
3.       Different Pulses / Joris Delacroix remix
4.       Different Pulses / JBNV remix

Asaf Avidan - Different Pulses (Joris Delacroix Remix)

For the 87th release on 100% Pure we proudly present GABRIEL ANANDA.

Gabriel Ananda has been a household name in the international dance scene since his life changing release Süssholz in 2004. Ever since, he’s been DJ-ing and producing at the top level, while always maintaining his distinctive sound. Known for his use of percussions and beautiful sound effects, Gabriel Ananda has gained recognition as an innovative and visionary DJ/Producer.

For 100% Pure he has produced a vibrant EP, that shows his dedication to rich, full-bodied dance music.


WOODS AND METAL
The clean tribal intro blasts into a pumpin’ track when the erratic beat drops in. A fusion of timber sounds and metallic melody make it a colorful tune that brings infinite goodness to the club crowd.

SHEET AND SHAKERS
More drum variations in this fresh tune that takes you straight into the techno jungle with its folky groove. It’s time to get your funk on to the rich and full beat that is designed to make you feel good.

RIMS AND PROPHET
Breaking away from the safari sound of the EP, this track brings emo back. Set to a steady beat, crazy sound effects and lingering guitar melodies give it a much inkier feel. Could there be something in the air tonight?

Gabriel Ananda - Rims And Prophet

'Rise Of Angel' is the brand new single from Luciano, and the first single to be taken from his forthcoming album, due in 2013.  However, for the many thousands of dedicated music fans who have made the pilgrimage to Luciano's hugely successful parties this Summer in Ibiza (the weekly Ushuaia sessions and Vagabundos at Pacha), or the many Cadenza parties around Europe and North America, 'Rise Of Angel' has already become the signature tune and musical hi-light in Luciano's sets, making its release a highly anticipated moment for the Cadenza faithful.

Clocking in at over 15 minutes, 'Rise Of Angel' is an epic slice of modern electronic dance music, the simply Balearic, synth and piano driven hook gently builds and teases with cinematic intent, the light percussion and organic beats working the old Luciano magic, it's no wonder that 'Rise Of Angel' has become one of the most talked about tracks of the Ibiza season this year.

For the remixes, Luciano has kept it in the family, enlisting the duties of fellow Cadenza artists Mirko Loko, UNER and Andrea Oliva to all lend their unique production styles to a solid set of reinterpretations.  The vinyl 12" is coupled with Mirko Loko's pulsating robotic workout, adding a more beats driven take on Luciano's original, and delving into the bass for a heavyweight techno flecked remix.

And bolstering the digital package, UNER weighs in with a dubbed out, rolling drum version, using the vocal FX to support the groove whilst the pianos ride over the mix, and Andrea Oliva goes straight for the 4/4 jugular with a remix that builds solid tribal beats to a crescendo, adding a new dimension to the Original with a choice vocal section.

'Rise Of Angel' will be Luciano's first release on his own Cadenza label since 2010's Lucien-N-Luciano's 'Cuidad De Luz' EP, and marks the start of another big chapter in his career, having spent the last couple of years building a passionate audience through hundreds of DJ performances around the world, the Vagabundos events and collaborating musically with artists such as Pharrrell (Neptunes) and Lenny Kravitz.  His forthcoming album will be his second full length collection (following 2009's ‘Tribute To The Sun’), and his label, Cadenza Records, will celebrate its 10th anniversary, so the future certainly looks bright for the Chilean producer and DJ.
