Losoul - Open Door  Original Mix

Buy full EP: orcd.co/dreamuniverse

Gudu Records label continues a 2023 for the books with Dream Universe, a new four-track EP by Italian duo Hiver.

Based in Milan, Giuseppe Albrizio and Sergio Caio have spent the last decade honing a very special take on electro and machine funk, driven by the duo’s trademark basslines, glossy strings that drip with emotion and an overall utopian nature.

On Dream Universe, a “tribute to early ‘90s house and trance”, built around trance elements, acid bass and Detroit-inspired rhythms made on iconic synthesizers like the Alpha Juno, Juno 106 and the Roland 303, 909 and D-550, they pack more energy and emotion into their music than ever before, from the high-emotional vocal that defines the EP’s title track, to the raw bass hits that drive ‘Lodash’.

At this point, Hiver’s sound is so distinctive that you know one of their tracks the minute you hear it, but Dream Universe feels like the high water mark of their work to date; a duo in complete control of their craft.

Tracklist:
01. Dream Universe (Vocal Mix)
02. Purple Phaze
03. Lodash
04. Higher Space

Hiver - Purple Phaze

Crustation were a short-lived trip-hop group with ties to Portishead and Massive Attack; their 1997 single "Flame" was a perfectly nice, totally innocuous, and mostly forgettable contribution to the drowsy downbeat catalog. The journeymen producers Mood II Swing put their characteristically light, funky touch on a club-friendly remix of the song, as they did hundreds of times during their run as New York's most dependable remixers. But Mood II Swing also had a murkier, more abstracted side; you can hear it in productions like "Move Me," "The Slippery Track," and the eerie "Inhale," which sounds like Gary Numan's "Cars" being sucked through a Teflon wormhole. But they outdid themselves on the "Borderline Insanity Dub" of "Flame," lacing a skipping, proto-U.K.-garage beat with hiccupping vocal loops and a lithe, shadowboxing bass line; the icing on the cake comes courtesy of a swirling fog of vocal harmonies that pans from speaker to speaker. Running out of phase with the beat, it lends a sense of tidal ebb-and-flow, throwing the time deliriously out of joint. The fact that Mood II Swing never produced anything else quite like it only makes this fluid, enveloping tune all the more irreplaceable. P.S.

"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.

"Dame Ese Coco" is a rhythmic and infectious Latin track built around a hypnotic vocal hook. The lyrics, "Dame ese coco, ese coco, ese coco, ese cu..." create a repetitive, high-energy loop that is typical of modern Reggaeton or Tech House. While "coco" literally translates to "coconut," in this musical context, it serves as a playful and rhythmic euphemism designed for the dancefloor.
