Description: Smiting new in my mixes: not so dark and fast as usual. Just a groovy and textured techno rhythm.

Marcal is back for round two on Dustin Zahn’s Enemy Records with “Cyber Dystopia.” Marcal’s trademark grooves and clever vocal processing make this one of his most exciting and hypnotic records yet. It’s pure class…there isn’t much else to say!

BUT we have to try anyway…
“Cyber Dystopia” starts off with Bionic Jungle, a trippy peak time roller sprinkled with uh, lifeforms or something? We haven’t been able to identify them, which is just proof that Marcal is living on another planet we haven’t been to yet. We’re standing by for the invite.

Moravex’s Paradox picks up where Bionic Jungle left off…chugging along in his signature style. It’s loopy. It’s tooly…but still heavy on the grooves, making it a perfect fit in deep and peak time sets alike.

Nothing About the United States hits a little harder and darker. Dissonant drones and catchy sound design take over, flipping the switch from “party” to “punish.” For fans of his recent track on Enemy, “Never Wrote This.”

Don’t Fear the Three is a classic Marcal percussive workout in heads-down mode. It’s as equally powerful as every other track on the record.

“Cyber Dystopia” is all about the world we are living in right now: artificial intelligence, smart houses, smartphones, self-driving cars, deepfakes, fake news, cybernetic warfare, metaverse, social networks, the internet of things, machine learning, virtual reality...
We are definitely entering a new stage of civilization, the post-modern era.
But,
Are we living an 'apocalypse of self-abdication' already? Or we are, as humans, simply evolving as technology evolves? There will ever be a limit to technology? Will it help as much it can also destruct?

We will find out soon.

IT Premiere: KeepKeep - Checker [AMVA002]

Following up on last year’s debut release, Chontane returns with 'Manx', the second EP on his label, TANE. This five-track collection continues his exploration of sound design, moving into fresh territory while retaining the distinctive energy that marked TANE001. With TANE002, Chontane invites listeners into a diverse sonic landscape, emphasizing mood, texture, and the subtle intricacies of rhythm.
'Manx' marks a significant progression in Chontane’s artistry, expanding on the foundation set by TANE001, which echoed the nostalgia of 90s and early 2000s rave culture. While his first EP blended old-school, rave-inspired techno, atmospheric tracks, and a touch of jungle, TANE002 boldly ventures into new, uncharted territories. It challenges traditional genre boundaries, delving deep into the potential of sound design, and offering a forward-thinking perspective that feels attuned to the future.
The EP highlights Chontane’s dedication to capturing a wide spectrum of moods and textures within a single record. The title track, ‚Manx', sets the stage with a dark, hypnotic presence. Rich in layered textures and atmospheric undertones, the track fuses a powerful kick with resonant toms, deep subs, and eerie pads. Haunting, glitchy vocal snippets add an extra dimension, making 'Manx' a compelling, immersive experience.
On 'Gazebo,' the EP’s A2 track, Chontane shifts the energy, delivering a composition that balances driving rhythms with a melodic core. The combination of dynamic drums with an epic, mystical theme creates a piece that’s both uplifting and introspective, standing out for its ability to evoke grandeur while maintaining a sense of optimism.
The B-side leans into a more shadowy atmosphere, with 'Oolean' blending metallic percussion and a throbbing bassline. The track’s ominous pads and powerful kick drum propel it forward, creating a narrative that’s intense and captivating.
B2 offers a fitting conclusion to the vinyl release, presenting a track that blends dreamy, atmospheric melodies with a robust kick and driving sub-line. The mystical qualities of this composition make it an evocative and memorable closer.
The digital-only track, 'Thumb Print,' rounds out the EP with a relentless, peak-time experience. Its hypnotic rhythm and expansive sense of scale make it a standout track, perfect for igniting dance floors and capturing listeners' attention.

Liza Evans - Ревную (Текст песни)

(1 куплет)

И вроде всё, как всегда,
Обычный серый день.
Иду по улице,
Но мысли только о тебе.
Как же мне рассказать...
О своих чувствах ему.

(Припев)

А ты мне нравишься так,
Что потеют ладони.
И без тебя
Я не знаю, кто я.
Ну почему ты влюблён в другую?
А я тебя ревную.
Х2

(2 куплет)

Надену лучшее платье
И выйду в круг танцевать я.
Устрою громкое party (пати),
А мне бы в твои объятия.
Вот только почему ты
Не подходишь ко мне?
Танцую я внутри круга,
Подходишь к моей подруге.
Я думала это слухи,
Убери свои руки.

(Припев)

А ты мне нравишься так,
Что потеют ладони.
И без тебя
Я не знаю, кто я.
Ну почему ты влюблён в другую?
А я тебя ревную.
Х2
