Roam Recordings

The Roam Compilation Vol. 2

Power to the People (Damon Jee Remix)  - Pardon Moi

The next project on Roam Recordings is a long distance overseas from the hands of his head honcho - Jason Peters aka JP Soul.
Roam Recordings is a label synonymous with quality. JP Soul returns to his own imprint with two new dance floor originals that form the Bacchanal EP. The title track Bacchanal is an Italo-Disco infused jam with an energetic synth groove backing a decadent vocal. The second original, Might as Well, is a low slung gritty chugger with a bit of funk and a lot of attitude.
The Bacchanal EP comes with a top notch cast of remixers. Up first is Hardway Bros aka Sean Johnston of A Love from Outer Space who adds a dark edge to Bacchanal with a grinding heavy energy perfect for a big system. 
EP is also supplemented by remixes from Italians In Flagranti and Argentinian Thomass Jackson.

Bacchanal

PREMIERE | JP Soul - Bacchanal (Hardway Bros Remix)[Roam Recordings] 2018

A fishbone which is stuck in the throat causes sharp pain in that location, which radiates to the ear with each swallow. If pain goes away within a few hours, then the bone probably only made a scratch. But if the pain persists, urgent medical attention is needed. Fishbones have been known to work it’s way through the esophagus and eventually (after months to years), into a heart or lung."
Italian based Low Manuel turns in a solid track for JP Soul's Roam recordings. unleashed on the stems is Brooklyn born Berlin based Curses who turns the track into a dark pulsating slow (ish) mo burner with menacing Morricone style guitars, a psychoactive top end percussion and more than a sprinkle of dark disco magic. 
Jagged and unnerving, it seems like another week another cracking Curses remix.

Fishbone

PREMIERE | Low Manuel - Fishbone (Curses Remix) [Roam Recordings] 2018

Mexico City based production duo Ali X x Ximena along with cohort Palomo bring two new original dark disco techno stylings for the latest offering on Roam Recordings. The title track Pastillitas has elements of Italo Disco with its fun and wonky sound while Fuel Your Passion pushes the energy into slightly darker territory adding more techno elements and general mayhem.

The EP is backed by two excellent remixes from Roam Recordings Alumnae Cabaret Nocturne and Rodion. Cabaret Nocturne remixes Pastillitas into a fantastic driving floor filler while Rodion takes Your Passion further into vibey left field territory. 

All four tracks weave together an EP full of evocative left field, Italo, techno, disco perfect for discerning dance floors.

Pastillitas

Pastillitas (Original Mix)

Acelero, a First-person singular (yo) present indicative form of acelerar. Which just means to accelerate or to speed up, which is something  Roam have been doing in style this year! Jason JP's label continues to belt stompers out of the park with Roliva's "Acelero" EP, also getting a rewiring from Tblisi's other dynamo machine Pino, who present his version of track called "Neumático".  Both Roliva and Pino have taken a break from 'the Damn' and headed over to sunny San Fran to hit up the wonderful Roam Recordings who are on a fine run of form of late.  
Robo vocals, a big room breakbeat and a lot of funk make this prime time dancefloor fare and I challenge anyone not to swagger those hips when confronted with this coming from a sound system at 3am. This is a perfect combination of tough beats, robotic chants and more than brings back memories of the Plump DJs back at their Naughties best. Get your breaks on!

PREMIERE | Roliva - Neumático (Pino Remix) [Roam Recordings] 2018

Acelero (Musik Nonstop Remix)

His vision had been working perfectly but was starting to display dark edges, what he saw was no longer crisp and clean but ghosting or odd visual echoes where edges should have been. This phenomenon had been documented on LCD TV screens but never in someoene's actual eyesight. Having realised his dream of becoming a true medical oddity, he could go about his day, knowing that he was the first analogue case of digital burn.
With bells which are enough to bring about the meat sweats and a bassline which muscles in beneath the hardest hitting snares this side of the Gulf War, Zakmina lands his next knock out blow, this time courtesy of Roam Recordings. Zakmina has been on a roll this year making a name for himself with EPs on Nein and Night Noise as well as establishing himself in Lithuania's dance music scene. 
Digital Burn is a corker of a track which is yet another feather in the cap of Jason JP's label which has had an explosive year. Ladies and gentlemen, shield your eyes. This is digital burn.

Digital Burn

PREMIERE | Zakmina - Digital Burn [Roam Recordings] 2018

After a slew of excellent releases on Nein and Night Noise Lithuanian up and comer Zakmina joins Roam Recordings to bring forth his Digital Burn EP. The title track is a show stopper with its smooth and driving peak time energy full of swirls, electric guitars, and gorgeous vocal chants. The second original Don't Laugh brings a more twisted dark flavor building on the theme of driving main time energy. 

The EP is backed by two superb remixes. The first is from Berlin based producer and 1/2 of Pardon Moi Freudenthal who brings a sublime otherworldly feel to the title track which could fit the mood to any a fine seance. Rounding out the EP is John Parsley who, after his Schlanke Socke EP turned heads earlier this year, returns to Roam with an fantastic psychedelic electronic version of Don't Laugh.

All four tracks come together into a well crafted and cohesive slice of electronic music to fit a variety of discerning dance floors.

When you are the highest you have ever felt, there is only one way you can really go, gravity always wins in the end. When you float above a gigantic mass the laws of physics dictate that the only place you can go is down.
Playground Records drop a killer EP from Mexico's Prom King & Queen, Ali X x Ximena with a retouch from Id!r with an electro sounding slice of robofunk. 
A Beastly malfunctioning piece of analogue gear dominates this track while a killer breakbeat builds around it as creepy vocals drift in and out turning the sleaze machine up to 11. Ali & Xim have been prolific of late with a number of tracks on Nein and Roam while Ximena has been busy setting up new Mexican imprint Controlla. 
Id!r adds a fair old slab of beef to the proceedings adding an electro tinge to what is already a sleazy piece of dark disco in what is one of the highlights of the EP. 
If you've been up for too long, perhaps it's time to get down.

Iñigo Vontier, Roman & Castro - Ciudad Maldita


Something really great is happening South of the US Border and some of that magic is presented in this release by Roam Recordings alumi Iñigo Vontier as he partners with Roman & Castro to present the Ciudad Maldita EP. Mexico meets Chile in this excellent collaboration to bring three sophisticated floor bangers together into one EP. Sau Sau starts the release out with a wicked groove, vocal stabs, and elegant percussion. Smog moves a bit further into techno territory with its driving bass stabs underpinning a dizzying spattering of electronics woven to accentuate the hypnotic rhythm. Callejón offers a bit more left feild vibes with its electro beat under synth infused soundscapes.

Rounding out the EP is an excellent dark and pretty remix from the master Timothy J Fairplay who brings old school vibes with a lofi acid motif. 

The Ciudad Maldita EP fits the Roam Recordings moto quite nicely with these four accomplished artists pushing things into left field while keeping true to discerning dance floor.

Esseks - Deadbolt

Undo's Factor City is celebrating 15 years of service to your eardrums and to celebrate are releasing a compilation featuring the likes of Damon Jee, Cabaret Nocturne, Fairmont, Dimitri Veimar and this little number from Offset.
Phillipe Juven brings his trademark slightly acidic semi synthwave brand of melodic electronica to the Factor City Compilation which ramps up the nostalgia evoking the sounds of tomorrow from yesterday, if that makes any sense at all.
Having released on Days of Being Wild, Correspondant and before on Factor City, it was only natural that he would be asked back to contribute to the celebration of the Barcelona based party and label. Moon Burn is a highlight from a compilation packed full of excellent tracks, which leaves us all looking forward to the next 15 years.
