The unstoppable James Rod shows his darker side on this thunderous remix of Rolling Thunder. James has been one the most frequent collaborators on Gouranga over the years, and having recently moved to Berlin we expect lots more of this dark disco in the near future!

Beyond The Struttosphere is a new collaboration between Leo Strutt (Strutt Bros DJs) and Ben Chetwood (Flying Mojito Bros, Damian Lazarus’s Ancient Moons) aimed at channelling their considerable musical production experience and boundless love of cosmic dark disco. Their first track, New Frontier (Directors Cut), was self-released late in 2019 and is a slow-burning chug through the cosmos, littered with spacey vintage synth motifs and crunchy power chords. It found much acclaim among Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnson’s A Love From Outer Space online fraternity, and was featured in The Juan Mclean’s (DFA Records) recent contribution to Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Space mix series. The original is given a makeover by K-Effect, a stalwart of the dark disco scene. His take meanders down a progressive cosmic wormhole with driving basslines and trippy synth riffs that drive the tune to its spaced-out finale. 

The boys are back with a new offering on Gouranga Music, Rolling Thunder, a faster, more forthright dancefloor-orientated affair that means business. Complete with gnarly arpeggiator riffs, swirling psychedelic delay lines, a trippy vocal sample borrowed from Platoon, and their now trademark driven guitar power chords. The title track has been given the remix treatment by two aficionados of the scene, firstly the Mexican dark disco wizard Mufti turns up the heat, beefs up the bass, and dials the chug up to 11 to deliver a solid dancefloor destroyer. Cosmic disco legend James Rod delivers a second remix that strips the track right back to its core elements resulting in a minimal slow burner filled with dirty analogue electronics that builds up like a pressure cooker as the track progresses towards its conclusion. The EP finishes with a third remix by the in-house label crew, Gouranga Clan, which reimagines the track as a driving interstellar trip that is sure to spin out a few right-minded partygoers!

Beyond The Struttosphere - Rolling Thunder (James Rod Remix)

Absent-mindedly dipping your hand in the pool, you glance down as your skin shimmers lightly in tandem with the pristine blue water. Reaching to grab your cocktail, you find yourself sticking to the sun lounger like melted cheese. Weird. Hang on, you could’ve sworn that baby hippo wasn’t wearing sunglasses the last time you looked over? Whatever, the music sounds incredible right now, and you breathe a deep sigh as the waves wash in.

Landing on our own Ransom Note Records, following our Pen Pals 2 compilation and Flug 8 LP release, is a long player from Hologram Teen AKA former Stereolab keyboardist Morgane Lhote. Her debut as a solo artist came five years ago followed by her first album Between The Funk and the Fear surfacing in 2018. Now she comes correct with her sophomore release, Pizza Conspiracy: a kaleidoscopic marvel that folds acid-drenched funk and Congolese rumba into astral jazz and Daisy Age hip-hop, reminiscent of 00's beat tapes à la MF Doom, Donuts, The Avalanches and Madlib's Beat Konducta series.

PREMIERE – ID_UA – Crazy field (Playground Records)

Here’s a mantra, a slogan, channeled from the inner human being longing for the covid crisis to end. 
And yet this is a response to a much wider issue. A pandemic everyone is dealing with since years: Nationalist tendencies, the alienation that stems from it and the reality of borders. 
But, ‘die Welt ist ein Mitteinander’, the world is togetherness. 
We’re on one planet, all facing the same global problems and challenges. 
All sharing the same course through the cosmos. No way to escape. 
Tune in, abandon your ego and start chanting.

Supercontinent is the new project of the 4 super producers Juan Soto, Bufi, Dan Solo and Thomass Jackson, created in 2018 with the intention of being a live electronic music band. Influenced by disco, psychedelia, techno and even rock, Supercontinent is made for the dancefloor and home listening.

The satirical and funny lyrics show the imagination of the members, nourished by a grey and absurd humour.

Since their inception, the band had performed in several cities in Mexico as well at the Trópico Festival.

After two singles released (‘Nada’ and ‘Seductoria’), this new EP brings us 3 eclectic dance tracks inspired by common and random situations -approaching the accidental- and their deep meanings.

We at Sinchi love to support upcoming and debut producers and here is one that caught our ears. We hope you enjoy as much as we do.

Gonzalo’s (@gonzzy-gp) debut work is difficult to be labelled with a specific style. Simply said, it merges electronica and downbeat, among others, in an amalgam of many sounds and influences.

Going in detail, this close to 7 minutes track is like a film, a short story with multiple and differentiated parts. The intro made of harmonic layers of synths is followed by a kind of electronic jazz that swings mechanically and shuffles up to an epic stop. Afterwards, the very late real kick entry, is a broken downbeat that progressing at 100 bpm turns into a kind of slow-motion dub techno with its classic aerial sounds, on top of which, the electric piano lead and an enveloping pad are floating away. Multilayer synth intro, jazzy-soul vocals, cosmic keyboards, electronic sharped sounds & drums, downbeats, balearic pads, detroit techno influences, … Yes, difficult, definitively very difficult to be labelled with a specific style.

As a curiosity... the track includes the vocal samples of the great Detroit House anthem, Davina – Don’t You Want It (Happy Records ‎– HR1006, 1992). It was these chords that inspired Gonzalo to make this track, although apart from that has very little do with the original version. Anyhow, it is a very personal and particular tribute to one of his favourite records. A tribute to the Underground Resistance label, the producer Mike Banks and the vocals of Davina. Also to mention, the dj who made Gonzalo dance the most to this track some decades ago, Laurent Garnier.

About Gonzalo

Gonzalo has a passion for music since childhood, many & diverse sounds have influenced him such as soul, disco, italo, synth pop, new wave, ebm, new beat, acid house, trance, detroit techno, cologne sound, idm, … and above all Sade & Depeche Mode are his main reference bands.

Somehow the spirit & soul of those sounds are present when he plays or produces music, resulting on a unique amalgam of apparently contradicted feelings & emotions, as darkness & sentiment, longing & happiness, electronics & warmness, subtlety & forcefulness, sophistication & effectiveness.

Since his dj debut in 1992, he has combined dj residences at Concor, Forum or Car-P, Concuerda, with gigs at some of most relevant clubs in Barcelona area, as Lasal, Macarena or Otto Zutz, and has shared dj booth with many of most reputed djs and producers.
Now in 2020, he debuts as an electronic music producer with “Reinterpreting Davina”.

Stationed in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, rising talent Ed Dix provides a psychedelic ride for the Barcelona-based record label. While the three original mixes our loaded with with deep basslines and acid modulations, the remixes come courtesy of Stevie R & Parisinos and Velmondo. Airing the latter one here today, we see Hivern Discs releasing artist Vemondo keep the acidic vibe of the original 'Halusinasi' and add some fine-tuned quirkiness into the affair. TIP!

Premiere Ed Dix - Halusinasi (Velmondo Remix) [Playground Records]

12 months older, 12 months wiser: Correspondant celebrate the end of a year we’ll all be happy to see the back of with their annual V/A opus.

18 tracks deep, featuring old friends (Man Power, DC Salas, Juan McLean and TERR) and new friends (Captain Mustache, Mala Ika, Franz Scala, INVŌKER) alike, ‘Compilation 8’ is a sonic silver lining to keep us marching through these strange times. Power-packed with every leftfield shade and flavour we’ve come to know and love Jennifer Cardini’s label for. Dark disco, sexy synthwave, slo-mo cosmic funk and sleazy, dubby techno are all deep in the mix.

Highlights come in all forms and flavours, shapes and sizes from Man Power’s moody, hypnotic opener ‘Casual Loop’ right the way through to Invoker’s emotional breakbeat farewell ‘Let The World Heal’. Elsewhere Damon Jee and Darlyn Vlys go full trance on ‘Sin City’, V takes on a cult Lithuanian classic from the mid 90s 'Insect Dance’, Julian Stetter and Johannes Klingebiel collaborate for the very first time… And Rodion flips Jarle Brathen and Hard Ton’s ‘Master In Disguise’ into an electro overture.

All this and stacks more; Correspondant have defied the curse of 2020 with musical innovation and premium positive vibrations. Keep on marching.
