Barcelona-based space disco wizard Ivan Fabra is renowned for crafting a tantalizing blend of ethereal psychedelic house and seductive synth-driven Balearica. With previous releases on esteemed labels like Internasjonal, Codek, Nang, Spa in Disco, and Love Attack Records, Fabra now debuts on Whiskey Pickle with two cutting-edge nu disco tracks infused with a touch of wistful nostalgia.

In this release, Fabra presents two forward-thinking, high-energy tunes that transport listeners to a futuristic disco realm. Andrea Frittella contributes a delightful remix of "In Times Gone By" under his Irregular Disco Workers moniker, while label head Adam Warped, adopting his Johnny Blackouts persona, delivers a retro rave interpretation of "Sweet Eve." Whiskey Pickle will make you wiggle!

A2/ TOM ROLAND - FREE RIDE

There’s a rare tenderness to the way Byron The Aquarius makes house music. Across every release, the Alabama-born producer brings a deep sense of humanity - chords that breathe, basslines that sway, and melodies that seem to remember. On 'One of a Kind (Love Affair)', his debut for Hard Times, that emotional clarity shines through once again.

A master of the keys with a discography that spans Eglo, Signature, Apron, Axis, and more recently Skylax and Star Creature, Byron has long blurred the boundaries between jazz, soul, and machine groove. Here, he builds four tracks that each glow with feeling and finesse.

‘A New Life' opens with uplift and propulsion - crisp kicks and fluid sax lines circling around tender vocal refrains. 'The Last Mile of the Way' drifts inward, its spoken-word cadence and pulsing rhythm turning reflection into hypnosis. On the flip, 'I Be Like Dat' pushes forward with a tougher, more percussive edge. A laser-guided club moment that still hums with soul. Finally, '4 Mike Huckaby' closes the record as both elegy and celebration: shakers, muted horns, and shimmering keys floating in quiet reverence for a lost friend and inspiration.

As its title suggests, One of a Kind (Love Affair) is less about romance and more about devotion.

PREMIERE: Byron The Aquarius - A New Life [Hard Times]

"Dame ese coco" es una pista latina rítmica y pegajosa construida sobre un gancho vocal hipnótico. La letra, "Dame ese coco, ese coco, ese coco, ese cu...", crea un bucle repetitivo de alta energía, típico del reggaetón moderno o del Tech House. Aunque "coco" se traduce literalmente como la fruta, en este contexto musical funciona como un eufemismo lúdico y rítmico diseñado para la pista de baile.
