Diego Montiel - STEP 7 (Original Mix) [Side Up Works]

There are some characters and labels so intertwined with the story of specific music genres that is virtually impossible to discuss them without mentioning the importance and relevance of such masterminds and imprints. Take the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene for instance. We dare you to talk about it without bringing up Sir Neil Parnell aka Tronik Youth (SXDNS050) and his mighty platform NEIN Records during your music talks.

With a behemoth of a catalogue overflowing with dark cuts, NEIN is undoubtedly one of the most vital outlets in the dark side of music. Neil is equally impressive, distilling his creativity with a plethora of originals and collaborations throughout his career of twenty-something years. Having a NEIN-only year so far, he brings to life his third EP of the year and invited Fred Berthet and Calystarr for the remix duties. Premiered here, the latter’s contribution.

Adrián Peña Sánchez aka Calystarr is a DJ and producer from Chiclana de la Frontera, Cádiz. For his third appearance on NEIN, his mission of providing an interpretation for the big boss must have been a tough one – but nothing that would make the skilled Spanish virtuoso have cold feet. His complex and stark version brings together a few of his main influences, resulting in an intricate concoction of Cold Wave, EBM, and Industrial with a kind of spooky aura.

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

Leonor - On My Way (Original Mix)

Oblako Maranta is the collaboration between Radial Gaze and A-Tweed. The duo has already released several tracks in different compilations by Samo Records, Electric  Shapes, Playground Records, as well as their debut EP “Maranta Kicks” on Duro. 
In their new EP “Trance Beckenbauer”, the St-Petersburg-based Radial Gaze and  Rome-based A-Tweed produced 4 original tracks that finely blend the sound of each  artist, where slow tribal techno meets acid weird disco. 

Starting off with the title track “Trance Beckenbauer”, Oblako Maranta brings us through  a cinematic voyage, paced by percussive wonders and catchy bass lines, hypnotizing  the listener from the first kick on. The atmosphere is dark, trippy, beautifully loved in an  analog synth “duvet”. With that feeling of timelessness, “Trance Beckenbauer” sounds  like the perfect fit for the next Blade Runner´ s soundtrack. 

Next on the tracklisting is “Putos Mosquitos”, a tune that gives a feel of crossing a jungle  full of wild life, with weird acid patterns on repeat, groovy percussions, and that sense of  limitless adventure as the track plays on. 

“Congarella di Luna” is a bewitching tune blending a mesmerizing melody with dreamy  pads, finely arranged as the drop brings the energy down before reaching its paroxysm:  an irresistible melodic pattern that will leave no one still on the dancefloor. 
The fourth track “Analog Garbage” ´should bring any human being on the planet to an  ecstatic state as it infuses that energy that makes you move fast and forward, without  looking back. Indeed, “Analog Garbage” is driven by a fat bass riff and a kick-drum that  tirelessly hammers the pace, while acid melodies are raining as the track unfolds. And  there is that drop… 

The EP is completed with first-in-class remixes by Inigo Vontier and Zillas on Acid, who  reworked “Putos Mosquitos” and “Congarella di Luna”, respectively.

Brussels-based up-and-coming talent Ikaro Grati marks his Feines Tier debut with the four track SEARCH LANGUAGE EP. As Ikaro himself puts it, it’s „an euphonious exploration of the new generation, weaving together their hopes, dreams, challenges, and contradictions into a sonic tapestry“. And indeed, if this sound represents the new generation, then we’re in good hands! It’s diverse and sprawling, yet laser-focused in its production. Take the title track with its clear-cutting drum patterns, warm basslines and super-sharp lead sounds, the picture is clear, no smudge on the lense to distort our view. Or „Run Like A Child“ with its bouncing vocal samples and synth arpeggios creating a playful and whimsical vibe, „reflecting the vibe of hope and renewal“ as Ikaro himself puts it. „Social Syndrome“ gets more serious with pulsing 303s and dramatic string pads. Ikaro says „the track is about the pressure of the younger generation to be constantly connected and the social anxiety that can result“, for example by social media tending to create unrealistic expectations and feelings of inadequacy. The EP closes with the bangin’ „New Leaf Generation“, which alternates urging vocal loops with intense synth explorations. The tune culminates in a break introducing beautiful poly-synth chord progressions before throwing us back into the relentless groove of before. „This track evokes a sense of hope and optimism, as it describes a generation that is standing up for what they believe“ says Ikaro. Let’s celebrate them for that!

PREMIERE: Ikaro Grati - Social Syndrome [Feines Tier]

Altered Rhythm Experience presents its first EP by the Mexican genius Leonor together with his dear friend Feller, master of the shamanic rhythms and enveloping textures that characterize his artistic seal. They have produced devastating work for the dance floor in which they explore paths with ethnic rhythms and Latin influences.

Nativo and mOUA are two tracks in which these great artists develop a slow rhythm with low combustion and solid bass in which they architect layers of ethnic sounds and dark synthesizers, making these original compositions truly special with a unique sound.

In charge of the mixes we have the Japanese artist Akio Nagase, who brings freshness and electronic overtones with an acidic flavor to the Nativo track. From Mexico Ludviq presents us with his particular vision of mOUA (Ludviq’s Bizarre Mix), in which he creates a dark track, designed to take the dance floor on a journey through his contagious rhythms.

Finally from Rome we have the pleasure of having A-Tweed and his remix of Nativo in this complete Ep in which he pre- sents a powerful track with Trance influences and a more techno sound focused directly on the rush hour of the night.

Altered Rhythm Experience presents itself to the world with this powerful EP loaded with the best of current contempo- rary electronic music.
