PREMIERES 501-1000

NIU DISCO

2ⁿ4

Here we go again! After reaching out 500 premieres just before our deserved summer break, the first step towards the 1.000th is given today: For the occasion, we had the privilege of reviewing master Diego Montiel’s (SXDNS194) contribution for the forthcoming VA of the still small but highly promising Antwerp-based label Under The Trees, whose curators spared no efforts to bring together a true dream team of acclaimed artists of the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene. Besides Diego, behold: Alex Aguayo, Andrea Acosta, Bonnie Spacey (SXDNS337) & Rem’s Martinez (SXDNS108), Mundo D, Parissior (SXDNS206), and Sylphomatic (SXDNS354), just to name a few, jumped in with high-quality themes and raised the bar of the compilation by turning it into one of the most solid releases of the year so far.

After appearing on Critical Monday and Side Up Works, his very own hub, Diego continues his 2023 journey by landing on the new Belgium imprint with his characteristic sonority and handling a darkness-infused and eye-shadowed cut that blends some of his most noticeable influences such as Post-Punk, New Wave, Gothic Rock, EBM, and Synthpop, resulting in a dance-floor-oriented piece that lives up to its name.

PREMIERE501 // Diego Montiel - Hypnotic Music (Original Mix)

One of the most respected artists of the new Mexican underground e-music scene brings to life his most intricate single so far: Fausto’s (SXDNS064) “Mexicoma” is a psychedelic journey through the most obscure influences of the skilled producer and works as a showcase of his plural capabilities. Author of many Indie Dance/Dark Disco bangers, released on a plethora of vital labels such as Controlla, Duro, NUFF MUSIC, Phisica, NEIN, Boite Music, Discos Platino, Quixotical, and La Volta Ros, just to name a few, his brand-new slo-mo acid-infused cut goes in another direction by impressing with other features instead of speed and stamina, though. The spell of “Mexicoma” comes from its complexity and execution.

Coming soon in digital and vinyl formats on the Ukrainian imprint Povilno Records, the EP also impresses with its constellation of remixers: Roe Deers (SXDNS138), Elfenberg, Mijo, Ali X (SXDNS070), Itwo5, and Technobeton brought the theme to their own real and delivered interesting interpretations.

Premiered here, the original comes enveloped with Fausto’s creativity at its best. Distorted vocals and a fat & smelly bassline set the tone of this true experimental and mind-bending experience. The magic touch provided by the twisted concertina-like sample cannot go unmentioned. Kudos!

PREMIERE502 // Fausto - Mexicoma (Original Mix)

Hailing from Lima, Peru, Izakaya Deployment owes the inspiration for his moniker to the deep affection he has for Japan and its culture. Such influence can be perceived in his sober and pragmatic but extremely rich sonority in which he explores the many possibilities of bringing to life his take on high-quality underground electronic music.

After appearances on NEIN Records, he is back on his very own No Signal Records with another incursion into the Indie Dance/Dark Disco realm: “The Return of Akira” comes packed with two well-constructed originals in which Izakaya succeeds, once again, in combining his multi-genre background to deliver vital dance-floor-focused gems.

Premiered here, “Umeda Sky Drinking”, in our opinion one of the best works of the skilled Peruvian producer so far, is a mesmerizing and riveting cut that develops its allurement through soothing synth layers and trippy pads, resulting in a trance-like experience to be enjoyed with your eyes closed for a better immersion.

House Music & Techno hot-head Simon TG has finally decided to explore his most obscure influences and bring to life some darkness-infused Hi-NRG cuts. With previous appearances on Toolroom, Milk & Sugar, Codigo56, There Was Jack, and WyldCard, to name a few, he lands now on the vital Spanish hub Side Up Works with “Digital Runner” featuring two well-constructed themes and their respective remixes made with love by Bonnie Spacey (SXDNS337) and Heinech.

Hailing originally from Chile, Simon has chosen Barcelona as his new headquarters to keep fighting the good fight of spreading love through his music. Whether performing or producing, he fails to disappoint when it comes to delivering high-quality output, independently of the genre.

His incursion into the Indie Dance/Dark Disco realm comes packed with an Underworld-inspired bassline, a frantic synth layer, trippy pads, and speech-like vocal hooks, resulting in an intense and rhapsodic peak-time beast.

PREMIERE504 // Simon TG - Digital Runner (Original Mix)

“Edgy Future Discotheque” is the name of the brand-new and fresh-from-the-oven compilation released on the vital “Madchester”-based imprint Sprechen, but it could be also the name of the genre the label favours to publish. Its flawless curation process guarantees a catalogue full of, yes, edgy, out-of-the-box Disco-soaked gems, and the Volume 5 of its VA series does not go in another direction. On board, a true dream team of collaborators: Andy Buchan (SXDNS012), Flash Atkins, Ed Mahon (SXDNS068), Tom2Trax, Jimmy Turnbull, Mangetout, and Daco with a solid remix for Mr. Atkins’s contribution.

The track we were solicited to review comes from the criminal mastermind of Tom2Trax, an experienced British DJ who has been strolling through the muddy and marshy terrain of the production realm since his first appearance on Sprechen’s “Edgy Future Discotheque Vol. 3” in February last year.

His “Heatwave Horizon” seems to have been named after our doomed status quo: The near future will be bleak, brace yourselves! But before we all die due to the current and forthcoming climate emergency events, let’s melt on a packed and sweaty dance floor, shall we? Tom2Trax’s cut is devoted to triggering momentary happiness not only at hot pool parties but also on dark indoor grounds: Frolic percussive elements, suitable vocal hooks, and a correct amount of acid set the mood of one of the best tracks of the compilation.

PREMIERE724 // Middle James - Gary's Dub

Home Again launches the HASI single series with the debut release, "Break This Down" by S.U.R.E.

This groove-heavy club weapon blends tech house with subtle nuances of acid house, into a precision-engineered dancefloor tool. At 130 BPM, "Break This Down" builds energy through sharp percussion, driving basslines, and hypnotic synth leads. A fierce female vocal hook adds the final touch, injecting punch and raw energy into the production.

With a mood that is sexy, happy, and energetic, this track is a peak-time essential for selectors and DJs alike. HASI001 not only marks the beginning of the HASI series but also sets a high bar for what’s to come.
