exclusive | Ritacco & Igna - Wanna Do It | People Unpleaser Records

There are tracks that just tighten its grip, loop by loop, until you realize you’ve been moving to it all along. “Wanna Do It”, from Toscal founders Ritacco & Igna, is precisely that - a slow burner built for full ignition.

Landing on Andy Somoza’s People Unpleaser Records, the track draws its power from restraint: a House-rooted bassline that walks with confidence, a gritty HipHop vocal sample that loops like a mantra, and a dark synth-line that lingers like something unspoken in the corners of the room.

It’s music made with intent, not ornament - reduction with purpose. Every sound is lean, every detail exact, and together they form a groove that’s as hypnotic as it is heavy. “Wanna Do It” doesn’t chase impact - it builds it from the ground up, one minimal element at a time.

Its club functionality turned inside out: sharp, shadowy, and undeniably effective. In a room full of noise, Ritacco & Igna speak with silence between the beats -and it resonates louder than most.

exclusive | MB '93 - Concha Al Maxa | Miami Beat$

Some grooves feel familiar the moment they hit, not because they imitate, but because they tap into something timeless. MB '93’s “Concha Al Maxa” does exactly that, stitching HipHop roots into a House framework with finesse and flair.

As part of the "Pink Lambo's EP", the second outing from the ever-growing Miami Beat$ collective and label, “Concha Al Maxa” stands tall as a genre-fusing manifesto - equal parts homage and evolution. It opens with a House bassline that knows exactly what it’s doing: warm, elastic, subtly shifting with just enough swing and variation to loosen the grid and invite a HipHop head-nod into the House tempo.

Then the vocal lands - direct, unpolished, and full of b-boy urgency, like a cipher echoing through a club corridor. There’s no overproduction here, just rhythm laid bare and confidence held steady. But MB '93 don’t stop at raw function - just as the groove finds its stride, they sneak in a low-end weight shift and a short, shimmering synth run that lifts the track into something more dreamlike, like a sunrise over cracked concrete.

“Concha Al Maxa” doesn’t just blend House and HipHop - it reminds us they were never really that far apart. This isn’t nostalgia; it’s a reclamation. A track built for dancers and diggers alike, delivered with a purity that’s hard to fake and harder to forget.

Not a tribute, not a trend - just love, pressed to wax.

It was a huge effort to recover a decent sound from the vinyl. I extended the track so the verses and chorus blend more naturally into the mix. I'm absolutely loving it — let me know what you think

Torture the Artist - your source for contemporary electronic music

Torture the Artist is a webzine, or a magazine made for the internet, geared towards those with a passion for contemporary electronic music, with subgenres including Techno, Tech House, Deep House and Eletronica, as well as a small amount of Indie and Alternative. Founded in 2014 by Holger Breuer, a German native and lover of the arts, Torture the Artist now consists of five team members from all around the world.

In addition to publishing interviews, music reviews, DJ charts and track premieres, the webzine hosts out a  podcast series called 'art:casts'. This medium gives DJs and producers the artistic freedom to highlight their different musical styles while not being restricted by factors such as setting, and connecting them to a wider audience. 

Being in its ninth year, Torture the Artist has gained a strong and active online support group, including music enthusiasts to label managers and artists themselves, creating a cohesive community with music as their bond.

As a teenager Terence :Terry: spent much of his time doing some skateboard and hanging out in the first raves to be held in Paris, in a warehouse on the outskirts of the city. There, he discovered a menagerie of dance genres and he quickly developed a passion for diverse sounds that would inspire him to take to the decks, and influence him throughout the rest of his music career.  Feeding his desire for original, rare cuts, Terence became a fixture at Paris’ famous flea-market Puces of Clignancourt, dealing in second-hand warehouse vinyl he found on trips to London. But, always on the hunt something new to excite him, he would often sneak away from his shop in search of jazz, soul, hip-hop and funk records to expand his ever-growing music collection. 

Steadily building his name as a DJ/producer on the underground scene in Paris, Terence secured a number of residencies including ‘Afterparty Is Not A Crime’ at Nouveau Casino, one of the most hyped after parties around in 2003/4, and later in 2009, ‘Oui Now’ at Djoon where he hosted alongside the likes of Tania Vulcano, Seth Troxler and Clive Henry. His close alliance with the famous Freak n’Chic label saw him spinning at the Batofar and Rex Club whilst, further afield, his DJing took him from DC10 Ibiza, to Panoramabar and Watergate in Berlin, Goa Madrid and Fabric London.  

Branching out and wanting to immerse himself in a new scene, Terence moved away from Paris for a few wild years in London, where he was embraced by the city’s underground and regularly appeared at seminal parties such as T-bar, Kubicle and Mulletover. This was not only a crucial time for Terence himself but also for the London scene, giving rise to a new generation of artists who have helped shape the progression of the city’s electronic music scene since the mid-2000s up to now. Being involved in such a fertile movement had a huge influence on Terence’s outlook, inspiring him to return to Paris with a fresh new take on his career.  

So, in 2012, Terence felt it was time to launch his own label La Vie En Rose, quite simply to have a platform to develop and release a sound that could encompass a whole range of genres, taking influence from his very first experiences in the Paris rave scene. Since its inception La Vie En Rose has been responsible for several ubiquitous releases, including the killer ‘Living Lies’ by John Dimas, ‘Distraction Way’ by Terence and Hanfry Martinez (which included Dyed Soundorom’s exquisite remix of ‘Sunday Gathering’), Carlos Sanchez with ‘Timeless’ (including New York legend Jovonn on remix duties) and Terence and Hanfry’s second superlative link up, ‘Cornelius Is Gaye’. The label continues to maintain a high level of musical output, representing the very best in avant-garde sounds from a selection of young talents from around Europe celebrating their #37 release from the hands of Louie Fresco + a remix of Mateo Dufour)

Recently the Lil'brother of La Vie En Rose was born called: Epice Magique Records, more a hypnotic & advanced side (futuristic)
From his vibrant studio in Madrid, Terence is passionately conducting a masterclass on sound theories, intricate mixing techniques, and personalized artistic coaching under the banner of Prodige Studio Lab. Remarkably, they've recently celebrated their 50th course, dedicated to nurturing and guiding rising talents in their journey of development and career advancement
