Video clip of "Loco" by Rosa Pistola x Hoz x Scarlett: couvrexchefs.com/video-rosa-pistola-hoz-scarlett-loco-cxc-vol-2

CxC Vol. 2 is our new compilation for which we have commissioned eight tracks from artists who, in our opinion, broaden the scope of contemporary club music’s possibilities. In the logic of the first volume (released in 2019), this compilation gathers members of the collective and guests with whom we have worked during events or on our media (premieres, interviews…).

CxC Vol. 2 is a deliberately short eight-track album format to be listened to in one go, a sonic calling card of the identity of the Couvre x Chefs project and its different directions.

This new compilation also marks the official launch of our label branch.

Rosa Pistola x Hoz x Scarlett - Loco

Another fierce release from the chief purveyors of mutant dembow, this time courtesy of Ecuadorian collaborators, PVSSY and Entrañas.
 
Something crept up her legs, enveloped her torso and prickled her neck right to her fingertips. A sensation she wasn't familiar with, one that caught her by surprise - mostly at the fact that she enjoyed it. She knew she was flushed but she didn't feel embarrassed. In fact, quite the opposite. She felt an urge she'd never felt, to take off her clothes and do nothing but stand, absorbing the energy that radiated from the open mouths of those whose eyes met the image of her body. Was this what it meant to feel empowered? 

Taken from 4-track 'Fervor' EP, 'Manía' sticks closely with the industrial, hard-hitting mutated-dembow sound now synonymous with the Colombian imprint, TraTraTrax. With previous releases from the likes of Nicola Cruz, Nick León and Luca Durán whose fiercely forward-facing and idiosyncratic takes on perreo have been reimagined as amapiano by Ikonika, a leftfield roller by Simo Cell and fierce breaks by Henzo, 'Fervor' maintains the principle of global collaboration with remixes from South African Hakuna Kulala associate, Menzi, and Uruguayan NAAFI affiliate, Lechuga Zafiro.

Next up on the catalogue comes a contribution from long-time collaborators both hailing from Ecuador, PVSSY and Entrañas. Off to a militant start - quite literally - razor-sharp whiplash effects jolt 'Manía' into action before mellowing somewhat with the introduction of bass throbs and epic-sounding melody. That's not to say that the track's force is dampened, though: their sharpness is integrated into a full-bodied soundscape amongst demonic vocal chops and the warning signs of long-drawn-out synth reverbs.

6 Million Ways To Die

NewTone - 6 Million Ways To Die [RT002]

In an era where techno is being dominated by two opposite, but equally mindless and equally "loud" factions: the “it’s not so serious, kick goes boom” tribe and the pseudo-intellectual, hypno-blip cult; Scalameriya cuts through the noise and calls for a recalibration of what club music can be.
Mere entertainment for the weekend? Always and forever, but is that really enough and does it have to be only that? "Solve Et Coagula" offers a deeper, conceptual experience and invites listeners to lose themselves in a world where surgically precise sound design fuses with raw dancefloor-energy; and to allow untamed creativity to entertain their mind just as much as their body.
This isn’t music for the algorithm. It’s for the ones still searching, still listening. Escape the oppression of mediocrity; the false wisdom of mindless "philosophers" and their hollow bodies of work.

V +1018D Scalameriya - Solve Et Coagula TEASER

https://www.unearthedsounds.co.uk/products/dart-scary-eire-ep

New York City based imprint HOMAGE continues to deliver raw and upfront electronic sounds from up and coming talent, the imprint released the debut EP from now hotly tipped artist KETTAMA and most recently released the critically acclaimed debut EP from Will Hofbauer. Here we see the label welcome Dublin, Ireland based artist DART onto its roster, yet another rising talent making waves on his home turf and further afield across the globe.

‘Raided’ opens the release with thunderous swinging drums, twitchy synth sequences, bumpy bass and rave-tinged strings to perfectly set the tone. ‘Only The Strong’ follows next, retaining a similarly rave-tinged aesthetic via a hypnotic synth hook, shuffled percussion and rumbling subs while female vocal hooks flow amongst the sturdy groove.

The two remixes make up the B-Side of the release and X-Coast’s ‘Da Vibe Mix’ is up first, reshaping the original with an uptempo trance-leaning twist courtesy of choppy, filtered synth licks, organic percussion and pulsing low-end bass line. Dixon Avenue Basement Jams regular Big Miz then rounds things out with his take on ‘Only The Strong’, opting for squelchy 303 licks and dusty dynamic drums alongside the originals lead and infectious vocals.
