Fortunea Records 10 Year Anniversary - Down The Danube River

Disco Amor

PREVIEW /// D2 - Nick Hanzo & I-Wolf "Disco Amor"

For the 44th edition of Melómana, we are delighted to present a collaboration that already made waves earlier this year with their contribution to the “Various Artists 2024 compilation released in January. We’re talking about Nick Hanzo and Ludviq, two names that are pushing the boundaries of the underground electronic scene. Nick, founder of the influential and avant-garde label Belly Dance Service, and Ludviq, at the helm of the innovative imprint Bonkers Music, represent a convergence of unique visions within contemporary electronic music. Both stand out for their ability to curate exquisite selections of tracks and artists in their labels, as well as for their undeniable talent in the studio. It’s no surprise that renowned figures such as Damon Jee or Ivan Smagghe have already included their music in their sets.

This highly anticipated release offers us two original tracks in collaboration and a third solo track by Ludviq. Opening the EP, we find "Raving Miles", a hypnotic journey that unfolds with an entrancing vocal, supported by a bassline with funk nuances and a dose of psychedelia that permeates every beat. The track builds into a texturized climax, where percussive synths evoke the intensity of a shamanic ritual on the dance floor.

The second track, "Widget Figet", ventures into a more raw and visceral terrain. Cavernous percussion, executed with surgical precision, lays a solid foundation from the very beginning. A sensual vocal intertwines with an energetic groove, while finely programmed synths add layers of complexity and depth, creating a sonic experience that heats up any space.

Closing the EP, Ludviq delivers "Collapsing Nature", a solo piece that reflects his signature progressive approach. The track is a rollercoaster of styles, where minimalism, tech, and indie dance seamlessly intertwine, keeping the listener in constant anticipation.

This release not only consolidates Nick Hanzo and Ludviq's presence as creative forces in the scene but also highlights their ability to fuse styles with unparalleled fluidity. Without a doubt, this is one of the year's standout releases, destined to resonate on the most demanding dance floors. It’s an honor to have these two visionaries in our home, as they continue to redefine the boundaries of electronic sound.

Fortunea Radioshow #155 // hosted by Klaus Benedek 2025-01-22

Belly Dance Services unveils its 29th release, Cromo by Ismael Pinkler — three hypnotic club cuts that shimmer between trance and tension, plus a dada-tinged remix from Nick Hanzo, his vocals spiraling through the mix like a fever dream, all mastered by wizzard Oltrefuturo.

There’s a strange gravity to Ismael Pinkler’s music — the kind that pulls you gently under, until you realize you’ve been dancing inside a dream. Born in 1983 in Buenos Aires, he’s spent two decades shaping the Latin American electronic underground, bending rhythm and texture into something intimate and alive.

After years of collaborations — most notably as one half of Carisma — Pinkler resurfaced with Geografía Mental, then drifted into deeper waters with his ambient album Verde Profundo. A master of ambiences, he now returns to the floor with Cromo: three hypnotic club bangers that merge raw pulse, lush texture, and emotional precision.
Label head Nick Hanzo twists Cromo into a surreal, dadaist rework, his vocals looping like an incantation at 3 a.m.

Klaus Benedek grew up in a small town near Vienna. His interest in electronic music began during the 90s techno hype. He spent hours watching video clips on MTV and viva and thus gaining knowledge about electronic music. In 2004, he began teaching himself to produce. Gathering his inspiration wherever he could, he began collecting 12" vinyl records the same year and 2 years later got his first dj-gigs. From 2008 till 2010 he was one of the resident DJs at the MNML Thursdays in the Camera Club. In 2012 he started with Alex Kolodziej the event-series Tellerbetrieb. Currently he finds most of his inspiration in Chicago House, Deep House, Disco and Breakbeat. After releases on labels like Petrol Dollar, Subversaal, rekooda, Soul Shift Music, Clean and Dirty Recordings and tanzbar, Klaus launched his own label forTunea in 2014.
