Hadar Noy Aka N.O.Y Is a 25 Years old DJ & Producer from Israel.
From The Age Of 14, he was playing in Tel Aviv biggest clubs. 
When he was 16, Hadar started to create his own music.
The combination of oriental & electronic beats was his passion From the beginning,

Now Freudenthal remixes his latest work "ZARIS" for NEIN Records.
With a slight air of menace and urgency added to the track, a brisk electro pulse drives us from the start.  Future metallic-mechanics scrape at your heels while the icicle-cool Eastern trance glimmers in the distance. Freudenthal once again has hit the mark, delivering a streamlined, polished, and tuned-up getaway vehicle for an elevated dance floor moment, a focused and energetic affair, zooming headlong into the horizon.

@Brauliorenteria is a Dj/Producer from Guadalajara, Jalisco. He defines his sound that oscillates between dark disco and indie dance. 

After his last release with Sinchi where Braulio Renteria provided the unique cut “Venus” for its Altered States Vol.1, he is back with “Advertencia”, a two-track EP for Bonker Records (@bonkersrecordings)that is built upon the foundation of hollow baselines but each track carrying its own flavor of stabs and dark rhythms. Our pick is the lead track “Advertencia”, a dark hitter that does not shy away from elevating the energy as the track progresses with its futuristic elements.

PREMIERE - Braulio Renteria - Advertencia (Bonkers Records)

One of Swedens most respected underground house and techno luminaries Mindbender debuts on Emerald and Doreen with a four track EP packed with the finest hypnotic space disco.

The opening EP title track Space Dust (Hypnotic Mix) is built upon a mesmerizing bass line, on top of addictive beats and a raw bouncing synth line - an upbeat acidic groover that is bound to shake peak time dance floors everywhere.

Perpetual (Disco not Disco Mix) mutates the four to the floor space beat with forever morphing synth arpeggios into a beautiful galactic disco stormer, where the radio signals from mother earth barely gets through to the stratosphere, far far above. 

Perpetual (The Dub Mix) goes deeper, taking you on a real dub journey through carefully layered soundscapes and complex multi layered sound structures, holding it all together with a potent bass line and steady grooving beat.

Finally - Teeth Grinder is a back to the futuristic take on epic electronica and 80’s synth aesthetica with its slowly building acid line and retro-infused break - pure class!

Space Dust EP

Mindbender - Teeth Grinder(Remix)- NEW NOW!

Hi there, this is the already third installment of the Familiar Faces anthology. For those who missed the first two: all the contributors to this fine selection of tunes are whether label residents who already provided their fair share to its backcatalogue or friends and affiliates, the Riotvan family hooked up with in one way or another (pun intended, by the way. Looking at you, New Hook). The connecting link being a certain like-mindedness in mentality and sonic expression, once again shaping this compilation up to the utmost current status update of what is going on in the Riotvan world.

And for a kick-off there's even some sort of premiere ushering things in with Reznik & Mikesh's opening tune Calumet. Both dudes are far from being strangers to the label, but teaming up and handing in this ferocious Acid stronghold of a tune, after they introduced themselves just recently with a Telepopmusik-remix, puts themself out there as a force to be reckoned with.     

Then there's Llewellyn, Riotvan mainstay and one of the focal artists when it comes to NeoDisco done the smart way. His new track Falling Apart definitely is no exception to the rule - delightful arpeggios, peculiar vocal-parts and one hell of a catchy synth-hook, engaging the time warp right back to the 80's.
It's no big secret that Jennifer Touch has a certain knack for that era, too. Her Hollow Flake gives us a foretaste of her debut album that will be out in April on Fat Cat Records and checks the listener in on another cruise through bleak emotive waters, building on a stomach punching beat and rough acidlines, graced by her sometimes distant, sometimes heartwarming chant.

Mexican friends Zombies In Miami have been playing on Riotvan nights already and now they leave their mark within the release records as well with Soleil, a soulful peaktime gem full of gloomy deepness.

Then there is the Zombie's compatriot Paulor with a hyper-organic sounding Letter To Futura that's shaped out of e-guitar and bass, Postpunk-emulating drums and percussion and an even Krautrock-reminiscing, trippy jam-aesthetic.

Speaking of Postpunk, closing things off are New Hook with their haunting and forceful O T - a cold sounding, yet fiercely intoned social criticism with unmistakable nods towards Malaria or Die Tödliche Doris, yet presented with an urgency that sets them apart from any formal retro-self-sufficiency.

Reznik & Mikesh - Calumet (Snippet)

Stavros Potamitis (aka Stevie R) conjures emotion and weaves sonic tales by combining the rebetiko folk music of his Greek homeland with analogue electronics. Working with a range of collaborators he offers forward thinking, avant-garde music and daring, theatrical live performances that freely blend and cross over between musical styles. As well as being a musician, producer and performer, Stevie is a lecturer at Point Blank Music College in London, runs his own record label Inside Out Records and is A & R of Chapter 24 Records. Always looking to push musical and sonic boundaries, he is just as relentlessly focused on moving things forward in his own work as he is committed to supporting the next generations to break through.

Few things people said about his music:

Mixmag: “Melt is a mesmerising collection of organic sounds and esoteric themes from a creative force of nature”

DJ Mag: “It’s goofy, hefty and fierce and has more bass and hand-held percussion than you ever knew you needed. Massive stuff”

Disclosure: Chugger!

Andrew Weatherall: “A right pair of dirty shunters!"
