Space – the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Shubostar starship. Her mission: To explore strange new music worlds. To seek out new beats and new melodies. To boldly go where no woman or man has gone before.

Remember those words from Star Trek? They do fit quite well for our latest signing, South Korea born Shubostar who presents her »Live At Robert Johnson« debut »Dolphin Dream«. Wait … did we just say dolphin? Well … who knows if there aren't dolphins in space too …

Let's begin with »Queen Millennia«, a melancholic but somehow hopeful piece of new cosmic disco music - a name which suits Shubostar's style of music quite good. She's using disco music as a basis, adding sprinkles of »cosmic sounds« plus a little touch of techno and thus creates her own soundscapes indeed rooted deep in space.

»Dolphin Dream« is up next and suddenly we're not deep in space but deep in the ocean with synthesizer arpeggios all over the place. But this dolphin's dream sounds a bit like as if he's following a starship that dove into the ice cold waters of the Atlantic on its search for Atlantis - beautiful!

»Siestar« is far from sounding like a siesta. It's a highly positive and uplifting tune which will put a big smile on everybody's face for sure when played out loud to an up and down jumping crowd in a club anywhere. It's vibrant, it's lively, it's fast, it has star qualities!

Shubostar changes the beat and the pace a bit for her last track »Éternité«. The tune sounds like a theme song of an 80ies science fiction movie situated in the Paris of 2099. Imagine a foggy and wet November evening with our leading actress, cigarette in her mouth, walking down an old but totally modernized boulevard ablaze with neon lights and you might get close to the feel of this wonderful tune. And aren't lyrics sung in French not just great? Mais oui, bien sûr!

Make sure you check out Shubostar's own label »uju Records« too.

Rolling up on Leipzig’s finest disco emporium, Riotvan, Mexican sensations https://soundcloud.com/kalexis-dj and https://soundcloud.com/paulor_thelord make their debut with a fresh four track selection on their ‘In Between’ EP.  Well, ok. Not strictly a debut. Our Mexico maestro, Paulor, did feature on the third instalment of our Familiar Faces series back in 2020, and now he’s back, as one half of our new cosmic couple. As resident DJ of the legendary Futuro Primitivo he has soundtracked the nights for so many and showcased his own music on Life And Death, DGTL, Kompakt and more. Partner-in-shine, Kalexis. A supreme selector. Deadly behind the decks and an artist who finally cut her production teeth with 2021’s ’Neptune Rising’, now readies her latest work…  Right here on Riotvan.  The pair ease us in with the beatless opener ‘Going Through The Void’, before hitting us square in the chest with the growling stomp of ‘Energy’. On the flip they entice with the electrified folk feels of ‘Lashes’, before the rotor-blade drone of ‘Magnetic’ closes the EP.

Do The Taboo presents: No Go's Vol.1
Release 15.09.23 

Welcome to the captivating realm of "No Go's" Vol. 1, masterminded by DO THE TABOO and curated by Bryan Kessler himself. This is no ordinary compilation; it's a carefully woven tapestry of sound, a musical odyssey split into four distinctive chapters, each housing a quartet of carefully crafted tracks.

Bryan Kessler's secret percussive weapon, "Hits Only," kicks off this sonic journey. The track unfurls with the elegant roll of a rim and a persistent drum loop, interlaced with the haunting allure of a female sample. As the tempo rises, acid undertones surge forth, carrying you into a pulsating second part that's nothing short of exhilarating.

Roe Deers, a long-standing ally of DO THE TABOO, delivers "Acid Alarm" - a testament to his unique power in the realm of production. It's a symphony of percussive finesse, an embodiment of his visionary impact on Lithuania's music culture.

From the same fertile ground emerges Zakmina, a rising star who takes control of future dancefloors with "Sweet Sweet." Picture a bassline-driven house anthem infused with a hint of erotic samples. It's a sonic voyage that evokes the atmosphere of Panorama Bar, with emotions and melodies flowing seamlessly through the air.

And now, for the grand finale, enter "Batuda Da Trax" by the Medellin virtuoso, DANY F. A nocturnal maestro and a true luminary of the city's nightlife scene, he orchestrates a crescendo of rhythm with the pounding heartbeat of drum machines and ethereal synths that seem to traverse the cosmos. The climax arrives with an explosive synergy of percussion and tambourines, a sonic spectacle that leaves an indelible imprint.

In No Go's Vol. 1, DO THE TABOO invites you to a party where genre boundaries dissolve, allowing for an unbridled exploration of sound. It's a celebration of rebellion, artistic expression, and the harmonious chaos that music brings to life. Get ready to be swept away by a symphony that resonates with the souls of those who seek a refined and captivating sonic experience.
