Inspired by the new wave of Indie Dance, the Dark side of Disco Music
and "Shamanic" Techno Vibes that are played at Kaputt Club (Bogotá)
where Julian is the resident DJ.

The "Magic Fire EP" recipe features all the ingredients to be an underground party roof blower, stomping four-to-the-floor beats, mechanical bass lines, Middle East percussion and melodies, lush FX and an enormous momentum drop to deliver at peak time.

Belgian superhero DC Salas  (Correspondent, Live At Robert Johnson, TAU)completes the release with his take on Magic Fire, turning the
original version into an instant dancefloor-filling late-night banger!

Magic Fire EP

PREMIERE: Julian Sanza - Magic Fire (DC Salas Remix)

We’re delighted to welcome Italian producer Alberto Melloni to Ulla Records! With his EP “Scaleno”, he displays the vast array of his production game, going from new beat to Italo and synth-wave through 3 original tracks, supported by two remixes from Tech Support and Plexi Glass.

The eponymous opening track, “Scaleno”, sounds like an ode to the new beat era, with its punching drum beat, wild sound effects and slamming stabs. Then comes “Blonde”, entwining synths and pads, laid over a heavy rhythm section, the soundtrack to your night spree through the city. Finally, we have an uplifting ending with “False Piste”, an explosion of vibrant melodies, navigating somewhere between Italo and Synthwave.

We also wanted ace remixers on board, so we asked London-based Tech Support to put his magic hands on “Blonde”. He delivered an intense, heavy, club-ready remix with its hypnotic groove and dreamy layers of synths.

Then we have newcomers Plexi Glass, hailing from Rennes, who decided to pace it up on “False Piste”, unleashing frantic drums and galloping basslines, making for a supercharged remix.

Sijoune is the new project between UK-based Greek maestro Stevie R, one of the founders of Inside Out Records, and the french analog guru Baptiste. Both being fond of hardware synths and modular setups it was inevitable they'd eventually team up. Trampoliner is honoured to host the duo's first-ever EP.

On remix duties, chieftain Elfenberg pairs up with fellow colleague and friend Godash to deliver a bass-driven peak-hour club track.

When we look back in time, it seems like yesterday when we started having clandestine parties in the backyard of an old house or illegal raves in public parks in Buenos Aires.

Operating from sundered soils - Eftersom is a triangle formed between Ravage Sentimental, close collaborator Jérôme Darmois and Chris Vella aka Moderne Romance. The term 'Eftersom' is used as a nod to their cross-border bond; a bond galvanized by a simple love of music, unwavering creative drive and a fair collection of imperfect studio gear.

With their LP « LIE » lined up for the later half of 2023 - here the trio present Tourne Tourne; a precursor to the project which comes coloured with remixes from Tel-Aviv-based Niv Ast, Mufti, Radial Gaze and Ravage Sentimental herself.

The original kicks things off with a purposeful march. Bold, discordant shards are set above a burning guitar riff and a sultry vocal line which build up a bright, effective Indie recording. Niv Ast then sharpens the energy and rolls it up into an electro-tinged club track. Mexico's Mufti then suffuses the single with some 80s synthesis before Radial Gaze offers up 2 unique takes. Their 'Pop' remix lays pellucid twinkles over tight, sharp rhythms while their Indie remix then set climbing tones over steady and persistent drums across a forceful club tool.

Ravage Sentimental then makes use of the raw, organic elements while allowing her vocals to shine before the warped, hallucinogenic tones of 'Precious' brings things to a close. Thick synthesis, brash drum work and more ghostly vocals evince the sonic symbiosis of the trio while offering an exciting insight into what’s to come.

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/yotam-russo
Track: Dirt That Is Gold
Label: https://soundcloud.com/rotten-city-records
Format: Digital, EP
Release date: 17/03 Beatport, 30/03 in all others plataforms

Just on the gap between happiness and melancholic vibes, cloudy skies and shining light Russo is delivering a full pack of atmospheric tracks that are meant to blur the lines between what is reality and lucid dreams, between what matters and what is an unexplainable emotion from within. 
"Dirt That Is Gold" is a full powered rock n roll electroclash, picking high right from the beginning the track “Dirt that is gold” inspired by the modern work routine of people chasing after the next coin, waking up to the same job every morning, following rules they don’t understand and remember to always wear a watch.

How To Spell Rhythm

PREMIERE | Yotam Russo - Dirt That Is Gold [Rotten City] 2023

Mexican duo Sierra Madre is thrilled to unveil their first EP, "Cumbres". The collaboration project of producers @mijomijo and @colossiomx, offers a unique blend of techno and indie dance, influenced by the stories of Monterrey City, Mexico. The release includes a collaboration with @moiseesduro and a remix by Esprit Divers.

Inspired by the tragic events that took place in “Cumbres” neighborhood, the EP opens with the title track, a dark, hypnotic, and evocative cut. It is followed by "Cadereyta," the name of the prison where the perpetrator of the Cumbres murders serves his sentence. A cut featuring distorted synthesizers and a driving drumbeat.

Next is "Diego," the track in collaboration with Moisees, a sinister, powerful, and gummy jam. To close the release, Esprit Divers' “Cumbres” remix provides a powerful and introspective cut, taking listeners on a journey of groovy self-discovery.

On the road for a little longer than a year now, the cool Mexican label Kyma Komplex has been featuring some of the finest artists of the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene plus some spot-on flirting with other genres such as House, Techno, and Trance. Sixtoagusto (SXDNS031), Diaz Tech (SXDNS089/FREEDL013), Mad Slow, Mverto Futura, Manu Barcelo (SXDNS344), Edd Brave (FREEDL033), Cali Burton, Seli (SXDNS360), Corresponsal, and Veltran (FREEDL050) are just a few of the names on board. 

For its next instalment, the rising imprint opens its doors one more time for the skilled Brazilian producer Lucas Novaes, who debuted on Kyma with a remix for Mad Slow’s “Detroit” released last year. For his forthcoming “Ganas” EP, the Paulista artist invited some interesting names for the remix duties: Ludmila Fuks (SXDNS361), Abby Knives (SXDNS299), Pvlomo (SXDNS098/FREEDL045), and Panko delivered shiny contributions to the EP.

Premiered here, the title track presents its credentials from the very beginning with its super fat bassline perfectly paired with rhythmic synth layers and stabs. The ominous vocal hooks, which cannot go unmentioned, deliver a stunning ghostly aura to the rich theme despite its minimalistic construction.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://kymakomplex.bandcamp.com/

Follow @lucasnovae and @kymakomplex, peeps!
