Baldo - Hotplay (Paramida's Hotpants Remix)

Bogotà born and raised DJ and producer Nicolas Duque has been lighting up the scene following a string of VA contributions and his perfect pop-tinged UKG debut EP on Breaks ‘N’ Pieces’. Since then Duque has gone on to release music that flirts with nostalgia and contemporary electronics on Dansu Discs, Magic Carpet and Limousine Dream sublabel Nug-Net, merging house with various UK flavours. Now he makes his debut on SITU Records with a futuristic four track EP demonstrating his fluidity between genres, this time opting for 4/4 kickdrums and pleasure-seeking bleeps. 

The sound of swinging hi-hats and classic bass notes churn as the record starts to spin, before distant electronics and crowd roaring grooves take hold in opening track ‘Ritmos Contundentes’. ‘The Unforbidden Track’ is the perfect follow up, this time introducing acidic leads and festival ready chords brimming with warmth and light. The Aptly titled ‘Ting-a-ling’ opens the B-side in a playful mood, with optimistic melodies racing at full steam ahead. The record comes to a close with ‘Midnight Library’ encompassing everything that makes this record great; the combination of mischievous, yet light-hearted grooves built perfectly around an interchanging melody.

Freedom meant different things to different people. It came in different forms... There were globally recognised freedoms; human rights that we all should have though many didn't. There were personal freedoms, the little things that were individual to you, some might understood them but others might not. Then there were shared freedoms; burying yourself in a good book, beavering away in the kitchen, sweating it out in the gym, or losing yourself in the music and dancing your cares away.

It's no secret we've been fans of Leipzig's R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings for some time. Well now they're expanding the label family with a brand spanking new offshoot, Breakfree Records, headed up by R.A.N.D. label manager Reece Walker and his pal Salomo. It just so happens that the pair are also very talented producers (you might have heard their tracks on the parent label before) so they're taking matters into their own hands for the debut release, FREE01, which in typical fashion sees them journey through house grooves and techy pumpers.

Ripping its way through the space-time continuum, Tel-Aviv based producers Asphalt DJ and Gzardin surface on Oddysee for the release of their anticipated debut outing, ‘Now & Zen’. The 4-track opening salvo embarks on a transcendental trip of deep and propulsive club bouncers. With the cuts firmly landing on the intersection of the 90s spectrum and fresh-minded sound design, the package offers a clear view of where the two newcomers are headed, as well as the Oddysee label.

Label: Kalahari Oyster Cult
Artist: Sorhab
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Cat. Number: OYSTER43
EP Title: Voyria
Release Date: December 15th, 2022
Support it: bit.ly/3tw1BSp

Expanding on the blueprint of previous releases, Trieste-born, London-based producer Sohrab is the Kalahari clan’s latest inductee. OYSTER43 is a distillation of the Italian producer’s stylistic scope in its purest form; impeccably crafted dance music with a healthy dose of prog.

Running deep with this one. Smartly refined constructions primed for meditative club use, the first four tracks are rendered in pristine detail. From the widescreen and tunnelling to straight-up utopian, there’s a life-affirming vitality like only the most quintessential '90s prog-house can achieve.

Dualism

PREMIERE: Sohrab - Dualism [Kalahari Oyster Cult]

Lis Sarroca curates another outstanding release on her Maai Records label, this time calling on five female producers for an energetic, club orientated EP, maneuvering between low end leaned breakbeat, and classy house cuts. Serving up the heat we have Kendra, Aldonna, Glo My, MLF and Monile. 

Diving in at the deep end is the chunky and in your face “Break My Filter” by Kendra, paying homage to the dusty breaks sounds of the 90s, huge drum work and a chugging sub heavy bass, screaming for the peak time moments. Next up is Australian rising star Aldonna, crammed with raw emotion and rugged emotion. “Lotus” is a track for the moments built upon an elasticated groove combined with dreamy otherworldly synths transcending the listener. Glo My brings forward an eccentric house cut, cruising on a deeper emotion than its predecessor, she presents to you “Sang Woo”. MLF’s “Oh My Break” is another enormous breakbeat trip, constantly simmering, evolving into pure dance floor frenzy as the tension builds gently from the start, spaced out beeps and bleeps whirring positively around the heart of the track. Last but not least is Monile’s “Play”, a track that remains slightly more grounded using nostalgic drums, and a warm and infectious bass line, ready to make you move, becoming increasingly animated as the track develops. 

Maai Records is a tightly run ship by Barcelona based Lis Sarroca, and her impeccable taste shines strong with this versatile selection of tracks on the label crafted by a flourishing group of artists.

PREMIERE: Aldonna - Linear Lotus [MAAI04]

dualitytrax.bandcamp.com/album/plastic-fantasy-ep

Holly Lester’s Duality Trax Label has quickly become synonymous for its blend of future facing sonics and mind-warping melodies, served together with a healthy dose of nostalgia. A label just as focused on making dancefloor destroyers as it is exploring left-leaning, personal projects, it’s within this duality where the label has found its success, never afraid to shy away from b side oddities or tracks edging more towards good-old-fashioned-fun.

DUALITY5 steers towards the latter, with Manchester based DJ & producer Aiden Francis providing the serotonin on tap with three lively dancefloor cuts, including a huge remix from Italy’s Matisa. Aiden had a big 2022, releasing music on Magic Carpet, Gestalt and beloved music platform and label Houseum, solidifying himself as one to watch in the euphoric unity of house, trance and techno.

Title track ‘Plastic Fantasy’ is the star of the show, a suitably sassy roller that places everyone's favorite blonde icon front left of the speakers. Subtle old school strings contrast with alien electronics, providing familiarity in an otherwise unfamiliar world. A bubble-gum vocal then rolls in cheekily over a driving bassline and dynamic percussion  - used in a way I’m not sure the original creators had in mind. ‘Future Proof’ meanwhile demonstrates Aidens’ knack for contemporary progressive house music. With warm pads, swirling sonic textures and moments of blissful euphoria, it’s energetic enough to move a dancefloor, but gentle enough for home listening too.

The record comes to a close with ‘Aquamarine’, with Aiden opting in favour of free flowing breakbeats and mind expanding synths, together radiating a feeling of warmth and hope for days to come. Italian DJ and producer Matisa is on hand to round the EP off with a bass-heavy rendition of ‘Plastic Fantasy’ a no-holds-barred speed garage licked stomper, with the power to lure smokers back inside the club with their feet firmly planted on the dancefloor.
