We welcome another stellar Spanish DJ and producer to the Club Mackan roster: Silicodisco. This time, we set our coordinates for Old Shanghai—a place out of time, blending echoes of the past with glimpses of the future. As always, we travel with good company: Bizzarro Universe and our own Marcus Christiansen are on board for remix duties.

Silicodisco guides us through two original tracks, "Old Shanghai" and "Look Back Without Me," each offering a unique chapter of this nostalgic expedition. With mellow synths, driving basslines, and unmistakable 80s-inspired beats, these tracks transport us to a dimension somewhere between memory and imagination.

"Old Shanghai" opens with voice-like, trance-gated synths that serve as the emotional core of the track. A dramatic midsection catapults us into the future with sharper, more aggressive synths, before gently bringing us back to where we started—a loop through time with purpose and precision.

"Look Back Without Me" leans into a similar palette but follows a more introspective path. A soft chord progression carries the main theme, while restless arpeggios create a simmering tension, unresolved yet hypnotically beautiful.

Bizzarro Universe reworks "Old Shanghai" with a clear nod to the 90s: punchy 909 drums, a euro-inspired bassline, sharp chord stabs, and a generous splash of acid. It’s a real powerhouse.

Marcus Christiansen takes "Look Back Without Me" deeper into darker territory. By emphasizing the arpeggios and adding a gritty acid bassline, his version edges closer to electro, intensifying the track’s restlessness while giving plenty of release.

No matter your direction, this release offers a timeless journey through sound. Boarding now.
