Timbaland - Give It To Me ft. Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake (Optical Disco Rework) [FREE DL]

'Forestrip Music presents the debut single from the South Bloom project. At the moment, we cannot reveal the mystery of who stays behind it, as he prefers to remain incognito. So let the music speak for itself. 'Let Me In' is a shaky deep groove mixed with a bubbling acid bassline and flute melody layered under emotional and breathy male vocals.'

Premiere: South Bloom - Let Me In [Forestrip]

After the hallucinate EP "Give Chance A Trance", Moderna and Theus Mago return to Duro with a reissue of their first collaboration work, 'Dog Is Calling You', originally released in 2016 under Chloè’s label, Lumière Noire. The reissue includes the three original cuts and the remix of ‘Dog is calling you’ by Die Wilde Jagd, plus three new remixes by Mexico based artists Mijo & Macaulay, Alinka of Twirl Records, and the Riotvan family Peter Invasion & Gregor Habicht .

The EP begins with the classic "Asesino Sicótico", a booming, dark and insane cut. It's a fusion of techno energy with house music groove. It's followed by "Dog Is Calling You", a slow mix of melted bass, orbital and acidic sounds. To close the original versions is the fan favorite "Papa En Roy", a mixture of classic techno with obsessive and repetitive bass lines, while Moderna's vocals take us on a lunatic journey.

The remix by Mijo & Macaulay of "Asesino Sicótico" is a hypnotic, insistent, and powerful cut. The bass line runs over you while the voice gets lost among synthesizers, pads, and percussion. Alinka surprises us with her version of "Papa En Roy", adding echoes of voices, a liquefying and electrifying bass, distorted percussion, and maniacal synthesizers.

Riotvan friends, Peter Invasion & Gregor Habicht, give us their version of "Papa En Roy", which is a forceful and exciting cut, creating bursts of energy perfect for the dance floor. To close the release is the version made by Die Wilde Jagd, a cut with a reverberated and liberating atmosphere, the drums and bass take you to the climax while the drums hold you firmly in a slow but continuous step.

"Moderna & Theus Mago - Dog Is Calling You" will be available on platforms starting from July 14th.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Juno's Review : "Plant43 wrote a trio of EPs over the winter season at the end of 2022 and the start of 23 and has been putting them out on his own Plant43 Recordings label. This third part from the man born Emile Facey is another emotional rollercoaster that conveys the wintry scenes in which they were written while also taking you on to the more warm and optimistic light of spring. Lithe electro rhythms and icy synths open up on 'Tidal Flexing' while 'Reflective Waves' gets a little darker and more intense. 'System's Edge' is a celestial cruise with quick, slick drums and masterful leads then 'Mind Drift' channels Drexcyian cyborg funk to close. The final part of the story comes on coloured vinyl but only in limited quantities."

TL PREMIERE : Plant43 - Mind Drift [Plant43 Recordings]

Preorder 'Maintain The Golden Ratio': https://Cybotron.lnk.to/MaintainTheGoldenRatio

Cybotron has re-emerged in our contemporary cybercultural age when artifactual futures begin a transition into a new era of "Meta". 
 
By combining their knowledge of philosophy, science fiction, and mechanical engineering, at a time when electronic instrument companies were only just beginning to distribute their products to the masses, two prosumer audio technicians named Juan Atkins and Rik Davis were able to re-engineer Cybotron  &ndash;  a combination of the words "Cyborg" and "Cyclotron" (an atomic particle accelerator) &ndash; to be used as a home studio performance music that would change the course of independently produced and distributed electronic music.
 
Dissolving the boundary between singer, songwriter, and producer, Juan Atkins named Cybotron's future forward funkadelic sound "techno" in reference to Alvin Toffler's concept of unlikely "techno rebels" against technocracy. Techno is music that sounds like technology, and its purpose was to help society survive our collision with a universally felt "future shock" by inserting an audio virus into the cultural matrix. 
 
Techno's blueprint spread across the Detroit-Berlin Axis between Metroplex and Tresor. As human society began its transition from a post-industrial to an information-based market economy, Cybotron enabled a thorough system override of the human senses towards a tangible man-machine hybridity and showed the world how to channel their emotions and imaginations into new sound technologies and create new 'sonic' spatialities where listeners can transport themselves out of the physical world into the future. The cover of their debut album Enter (1983) transmitted a fragmented view of a body in motion being digitized mid-stride, dissolving physical and virtual reality into sonic fiction.
 
Today, the man-machine hybridity of Cybotron is still the truest form of techno, coevolving in conversation with the technological music they created and inspired. The latest data disk marks a new chapter that reflects a techgnostic musical expression of the knowledge acquired during their decades-long hiatus. Unlike the dance music industrial replications of the Model 500 formula, acknowledging the content marketing expectations that segments music into specific, sellable genres, this techno music is self-aware.
Cybotron processes dance music tropes spawned from its very own blueprint with a meta-tactical precision out of sync with our current rave new world. 

Cybotron's return demonstrates a studied engagement with what techno was and should be with a peerless update of Juan Atkins' initial inventive idea of do-it-yourself electrically reengineered music xeroxed onto both sides of the 12" &ndash; uploaded directly into the alleys of your mind.

Naya Beat, which translates from Hindi as 'new beat', is focused on uncovering foundational electronic sounds from the subcontinent and South Asian diaspora through reissues, remixes and compilations. It found quick success with its first release, 'Naya Beat Volume 1: South Asian Dance and Electronic Music 1983 - 1992', followed by a rare 1985 Hindi New Wave album by Pinky Ann Rihal. The label now offers up the first of two releases based around the music of cosmic disco pioneer, Studio 54 icon and jazz improviser Asha Puthli, an artist who has recorded, sung or shared the stage with the likes of Roy Ayers, Alice Coltrane, Grace Jones, Barry White, Andy Warhol and many more. From David Mancuso's The Loft, to Giorgio Moroder's early work with Donna Summer, to hip-hop where she has been sampled extensively, Asha's musical influence and impact is profound. She was the first artist of South Asian descent to successfully crossover and make a mark on dance, jazz and pop culture in the West. 

For this LP, the label tracked down the long mythologised original stems and recordings of Puthli's most seminal albums, including ‘The Devil is Loose’, and working closely with Asha, they have tasked a series of producers inspired by her work to remix her music. 

Yuksek opens up with a pumping disco remix of 'I Am Song (Sing Me)' awash with uplifting synths and big claps next to the original vocals, which soar to the heavens. The seminal 'Space Talk' is remixed by Maurice Fulton into super steamy and late-night territory. The live drums and jumbled percussion are lit up with soulful chords as Puthli's carefully delivered vocal seduces up top. 'Lies' (Kraak & Smaak Remix) rides on fat-bottomed drums and bass that unfold with a dub swagger beneath a nebulous eco-system of cosmic synths and dramatic vocals. Label heads Turbotito & Ragz flip 'One Night Affair' into a leggy disco celebration with sweeping synths and bright effects, and Psychemagik's 'Right Down Here' is a pulsating mix of dark, snaking bass and drums with deep space ambience and raw hits making for a turbulent and tense atmosphere. Lastly, Jitwam closes out with a smooth disco sound laced with dynamic drums and cruising chords next to another sensuous top line from Asha Puthli. 

This is a stunning collection of remixes that pay homage to the originals while taking them into new sonic territory. A series of single drops will precede the whole LP; Yuksek (21st July), Maurice Fulton (4th August), Turbotito & Ragz (18th August), Psychemagik (1st September), Kraak & Smaak (15th September), Jitwam + LP (21st September).

01. Guy Gerber - Rainchecks In Montreal (Roy Rosenfeld Remix)
02. Guy Gerber - Rainchecks In Montreal (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
Guy Gerber's label Rumors brings a times classic remixed by Roy Rosenfeld. The original version of "Rainchecks In Montreal" is an emotional piece transcending genres and drawing a deep connection between contemporary electronica and music that deserves a spot on every pianist's playlist.

The secret of a masterful remix lies in the utmost respect of the original work combined with personal perspective and a set of skills. Roy's take on "Rainchecks In Montreal" perfectly fits the bill by adding imaginative melodic variations, percussive elements, and an energetic groove turning it into a powerful dance floor tool.

The story about the inspiration behind the remix sounds best in Roy's words:
"Some music pieces make us feel alive, hopeful, and overwhelmed with emotions. That's what I experienced when I first listened to the original "Rainchecks In Montreal" by Guy Gerber. A couple of years later, it randomly popped up on my Spotify, and I kept playing it repeatedly while on a flight. Then I felt the urge to put my take on it. A few moments later, I opened my laptop, edited the original track, and added some harmonies, a melody, and grooves. I showed what I did to Guy, and he liked it. He gave me some good notes to think of to make it even better, which I followed. The result is probably my favourite track to play at the moment, and the reactions it gets from the different crowds are just insane! So much love and happiness."

Again, in the my friend @ohmniac (a great Musician and a great Musical Poet) words:
--
"Sönar takes place in a dark, occlusive atmosphere, where air is a scarce commodity. Down there, in the depths, sound is your only guide, a hypnotic, metallic bass drum is the only beacon, its light bounces off the walls, off your chest, and the only way out is to submerge and keep going. You reach a door, you look through the thick glass, you feel the acid in your hands, it is the prelude to a Soviet rave, an orgy of flashes, dilated pupils, a cascade of bodies, clandestine languages, laser lights tracing the confines of the madness, and the sonar pumping, oblivious to everything."

Thanks mate 🙇‍♂️

Paisley Dark proudly welcomes back acclaimed producer JAY-SON with his latest release—an
electrifying addition to the label’s deepening catalog of forward-thinking electronic music. This new offering finds JAY-SON at his most potent, delivering a low-slung, chugging shuffle engineered for the shadowy corners of intimate, late-night dancefoors.
Driven by a raw, rolling bassline and punctuated by warped acid lines and razor-sharp, distorted
stabs, the track pulses with underground grit and hypnotic energy. Layered with evocative, documentary-style vocal samples, it conjures a moody, sweat-drenched atmosphere—transporting listeners directly into the depths of a crowded, dimly lit club.
Complementing the original is a meticulously curated set of remixes, each breathing new life into
JAY-SON’s vision. With every reinterpretation exploring bold sonic territory, the remixers deliver a
wide array of textures and moods while preserving the track’s signature intensity.
Together, the original and its reworks form a cohesive yet diverse EP—an immersive experience that underscores both the power of JAY-SON’s production and the creative range of his collaborators.

SPÆCIAL PREMIERE: Jay-Son - Tales of Freedom (Viper Patrol Remix) [Paisley Dark]

At Modula, we are proud to present our eighth release: FISBO & Mentalitet's (@fisbomusic & @mentalitetmusic) "Steel Nomad" [MDL008], where the producers condenses spatial and robotic soundscapes, expressly based on continuous, acidic bass lines, whose progressive metamorphosis immerses the listener or dancer in terrains of dissimilar gravity, floating between the harmonics of the harsh bass lines and metallic sequences.

The highway of the first space voyage, "Steel Nomad" prophesizes from its title a sonic transition toward an spacey machine sound with great acid-psychedelic undertones. The harmony seems to extend in degrees that oscillate the subconscious in a hypnagogic state promoted by its breakbeat rhythms. The second space-traveling track, "Another Engine" manifests itself in progressive grooves that allow us to calibrate our dance steps to a gentle rhythm of musical synchronization, merging us into the spectrum of sound frequencies. The static harmony acts as a stage for the progressive perception of our bodily movements.

Both tracks are accompanied by their respective remixes. The first was produced by Cali Burton (@caliburton), who reworks the song, offering synthetic stimuli based on leads, bass, and sequences that embellish the original, as well as an acceleration of the tempo that adapts the song to more energetic, dance-like settings, ideal for peak-time. The second remix by Cosmosolar artist (@cosmosolarok) adds the label's signature indie dance touch to the original's machine-like sound, redirecting the original's intensity toward a dreamlike, italo, retro-futuristic club sound.

FISBO & Mentalitet:  One was behind the desk, the other walked in with questions - that’s how Mentalitet & FISBO began. What started as lessons turned into late-night sessions, ideas bouncing back and forth, shaping tunes that don’t fit into boxes. Always experimenting, never settling - just making music that feels right.

Remixer: Cosmosolar: Cosmosolar is the project of Argentine DJ and producer Alejandro Gamba, born in Patagonia and based in Buenos Aires. With international tours in Mexico, Europe and Chile, his presence in the global electronic music scene is becoming more and more important.

- label's bio;
Founded in 2023, Modula is an electronic music label with a unique proposal in the Buenos Aires music scene. His sound aesthetics can be associated with indie dance, dark disco or melodic techno, but the fundamental essence of his music is the conditions of its production: the use of analog synthesizers, sequencers, rhythm machines and other hardware devices that they use the artists that belong to the label to produce and perform their music. That is where Module finds its identity. The sound exploration, the aesthetic search and the time dedicated to these artisan processes of composition and completion of the music differ from the current accelerated processes of electronic production and place the label's participants on the radar of artists who stand out for the use of these instrumentals and the curatorship of said music.

SPÆCIAL PREMIERE: FISBO, Mentalitet - Steel Nomad (Cosmosolar Remix) [Modula]

Berlin-based synth-wave band Dina Summer released their highly anticipated second album 'Girls Gang' earlier this year via Iptamenos Discos. The super band which is formed by Kalipo (also known for his work with electro-punk band Frittenbude) and dark disco DJ/producer duo Local Suicide first made waves in the scene with their 2021 EP ‚Who Am I‘ before releasing their critically acclaimed 2022 debut album ‚Rimini‘ and 2024 EP ‘Hide & Seek’. They also contributed to Curses’ ‘Next Wave Acid Punx‘ compilation, participated in Purple Mag x radiooooo’s '2070' project, and performed at Reeperbahn Festival's prestigious ‘Collide Session’.

The new album is a versatile collection of 11 tracks that delve into themes such as empowerment, outsiderhood, impermanence, nostalgia, and relationships. While their debut album was characterized by its club-centric sound, drawing from italo disco and '90s electro influences, this new release explores a richer palette of new wave, post punk, and synth pop. The sophomore longplayer is more song-oriented, often featuring real bass and guitar, and showcases a more vocal-driven performance from frontwoman Dina, incorporating more singing alongside her trademark spoken words. Yet, it retains the same catchy melodies Dina Summer is known for, offering both indie pop hymns and a few undeniable club anthems.

After recently releasing a bunch of remixes by DJ Hell, Damon Jee, Phunkadelica, The Populists, Karassimeon, Boys’ Shorts, Karla Lynch, Moderna, The World Domination, & Etane the trio is now back with even more reworks by befriended artists Joyce Muniz, Stockholm Syndrome, IBÄ, Nici Palm & JG Outsider!

The uprising Leipzig-based DJ, producer and party curator Nici Palm chops up & re-arranges the vocals from ’No More Tears’ and adds a tech groove and multiple rich synth layers to create an ode of female empowerment.

You'll never find another love like mine

Mexico’s Duro label are set to release the first EP from local talent Undefined Pattern, backed with remixes from Damon Jee and Jenia Tarsol.

‘El Desespere’ comes after Undefined Pattern’s debut on the Disque Discos 'DISCORROR IX' compilation and is inspired by the stress and paranoia of living in Mexico. It features three intensely atmospheric tracks with remixes by Damon Jee and Jenia Tarsol.

The fantastic title track gets things under way on a rugged bassline and illuminating synths that speak of a busy urban metropolis. It’s a rumbling disco ride that really takes you somewhere. The dark and heavy disco vibes continue on ‘Estrex Humano’, with its crisp hits and urgent bassline. Edgy synth loops bring the tension and add plenty of drama before ‘Intenxa Salida’ offers a sparser and eerier track, with dystopian, searching synths and melodic details off in the distance that suggest human life amongst a late night urban landscape.

Frenchman, MORE associate and 90s veteran Damon Jee flips ‘Estrex Humano’ into a slow burning and steamy disco stomper with libidinous female vocals, courtesy of Ravintsara and broad synth sweeps. Lastly, ‘El Desespere’ as remixed by Blue Shadow Records boss Jenia Tarsol is a chugger with big rock licks and a filthy bassline.

This is a compelling EP from the fast rising Undefined Pattern and another great package from contemporary disco tastemakers Duro.

Despite the challenges and weirdness of the year, boundary-blazing bandoleros Duro continue to shoot through 2020, all-pistols-blazing. Releases have fired from all corners but one of the strongest themes has been the ‘Muy Duro’ volumes. The Mexican label’s flagship V/A series, each EP digs deep into the dark disco psyche, celebrating the label’s widest sonic outposts and reference points with friends and shared spirits from across the world, old and new. Marking a year of the series, with tracks from Israel to Istanbul, ‘Muy Duro Volume 5’ is certainly no exception.

Veteran cosmic groover Tim Paris makes his long-awaited debut with the slouching funk and broken drum swagger of ‘Better Slightly Unchanged’ before two more collaborations join the party with their Duro debuts, all hailing from Israel; Middle Sky Boom and AckerMan whisk us through the stars on ‘Temp Goes High’ while Rina X Benji pay homage to mind alteration on the electroid bumps and asteroid grinds of ‘Koshmaro’.

Professional belly dancers and long-time friends of Duro Hanzo & Yaman follow with ‘Hokus Pokus’. A springy, playful slab of house music laced with pitched bells and a riser that teases and teases, there’s a late 90s/early 200s mischief to this that, like the label itself, just won’t quit. The final word comes from the label bossman Theus Mago and French brother-in-arms Id!r… And that word is techno. Deep bleeps and endless pulsations, ‘Soft Light’ is an epic moment of pure late night hedonism that sits somewhere between Bobby Peru and Plastikman. Blazing boundaries and still fully loaded, the Duro bandoleros keep on shooting.
