Second release of the new Belarusian label Estetika is a deep italo house affair by a young local artist Sergei Zharkov. Four originals are supplemented by two remixes veering off into adjacent musical territories. Schmoltz provides the safari ride version to the mediterranean pastels of the "Parallel Connection" putting aside the classica italia tropes in favor of the almost esoteric landscape of tribal rhythms and psychedelic atmospheres, twists and turns.

Paradistika EP

Premiere : Zharkov - Parallel Safari (Schmoltz Remix) [Estetika]

Pigon - Promises

Joel, Jeremy, Alican, and Antonio are pilots. The four Tegel Boys. The flight is fancy and it’s a foolhardy insistence that a parallel world still exists. First-class dreams, tacky and louche, vinyl seats, sticky cocktails, giddy highs, and lusty stomp. Polymath rock ‘n’ roll electronics that work a little less obviously, but feel a whole lot better. The group came together to bring you there.
The Tegel Boys make modern disco body music, in- flight acid house, airport-blues-boogie, hi-fi dada-rap for those tuned-in psychic travelers. A locomotive and leaden groove onboard, a wink to the frequent flyers, a fountain of sample-delic digger knowledge and circus hijinks spill out on the active runway where the boys navigate it to cruising altitude. 
They are an amalgamation of talent bubbling forth from the Berlin underground channeling parallel lives in NYC-LoftManchester-
Hacienda-Southside-Philly- Berghain-Berlin-Konono-Kinshasa-Acid-Istanbul and every other boogie-scorched molecule of human hip- shake. Obstinate, modern, deeply soulful and playful dance music from the family.

Half Electric ft. Marvin Jam [Original] is a chunky, stomping, elastic, acid-disco, peak time slow burner, a hefty slab of relentless boogie built around a mysterious and unforgettable classic-rock guitar figure, whiplash cowbells, and a hungry 303 line snaking its way into the mix,
a track aimed directly at the hips. Just as this throb is frothing over, things kick into a streamlined, disco pulse, the saxophone honk joins, and vocalist Marvin Jam intones a scorching soul-blues lament, a glorious build off into the horizon. 
On remix duties is Tirana, Albania-based Uj Pa Gaz, a talented live-electronic musician in his own right with releases on Tici-Taci, Heimlich, Esthetique and more, who goes right for the melodic core of the track,
dropping a Chemical Brothers friendly big broken beat over a perfect marriage of blissed-out synth figures and sunrise arpeggio-pulse, a steady chug bringing the sexy sax back in play. A
monstrous build brings Marvin’s vocals back and it's an all-out timeless body-ecstacy bounce.

A pumper of a rework from Byron The Aquarius of Curd’s new outing.

________________________________________________________________________

James Curd and Sublime Mind, Byron The Aquarius, remix so fine,
Dancing to the beat, groove in line, PRONTO, the rhythm, feeling divine.

In a world of whimsy, we unwind, Funk and melodies, our hearts entwined,
With James Curd and Byron, we’re inclined, To let go of worries, leave them behind.

Sublime Mind’s magic, a treasure to find, In this musical journey, we’re redefined,
With every note and rhythm so kind, PRONTO, let’s dance, our souls aligned.

________________________________________________________________________
 

The excellent James Curd’s new single “Sublime Mind,” was “inspired by a journey of two friends, enchanted by the mystique of an ageless sculpture – they traverse the Adriatic, seeking the original statue, only to find its reflection in the enigmatic Catherine. As they bask in her presence, they swear an oath – she’s different, she’s unique.”

We’re premiering the equally excellent Byron The Aquarius pumper.

An absolute stormer from Do!!You!!! Radio resident and legend of second-hand vinyl emporium Music & Video Exchange, @senrichard. Taking Paterson's lush Balearic original, he switches it up to a rarely-head swung triplet groove and hammers it with squelchy, elastic, rasping electro synths to make for a very interesting contrast.

Gus Paterson - Neretic (Richard Sen Remix) [Citizens Of Vice]

Archeo Recordings' rewarding relationship with Tony Esposito continues on AR027, as the label provide a remastered reissue of his transcendent fusion-pop masterpiece "Pagaia" alongside a trio of brand new reworks from Perugia's mighty Feel Fly. Whether you're looking for cosmic house, mellow acid, trancey techno or dubby downbeat, these remixes have you covered, and the original remains a true work of art.
Limited black vinyl run "Pagaia" hails from the Neapolitan percussionist's 1982 LP Tamburo, his first release for the brilliant Bubble imprint. Though the album delights and excites from start to finish, dancing through jazz-funk, Mediterranean pop, slow disco and smooth fusion, it's "Pagaia" which is first among equals. Esposito's nuanced hand drums lay the foundation for Claudio Pizzale, Sara Borsarini and Simona Pirone's wordless vocals, a life affirming chorus which carries us onto the swell of bass, piano and horns which drive the track through four and a half minutes of emotional release. Emphatic and expressive, the track transports the listener into a state of body moving rapture, all driven by Tony's rhythmic fluency. The song found its way into Italian living rooms over the credits of TV show Domenica In, and found its way into club culture thanks to fanatical support from the likes of Daniele Baldelli, who even included it on his first official Cosmic compilation.
Following a string of essential releases for the likes of Internasjonal, International Feel and New Interplanetary Melodies, Daniele Tomassini, better known as Feel Fly, now joins the Archeo family with a trio of contemporary club translations of the killer "Pagaia". The Perugian's "Cosmical Remix" extends that familiar introduction into a deep and DJ-friendly blend of drum and voice, awash with airy reverb and augmented by additional percussion, building through the original piano and bass into the churn of a dance floor wormhole. Driven by an unstoppable sequencer throb, the interpretation skirts the dark side of space before landing in the light of the miracle, those heavenly vocals and lush keys leading the way. The "Instrumental Cosmical Remix", not entirely instrumental, but utterly cosmical nonetheless, sees Daniele serve a tense and tracky arrangement of his first rework, perfect for deep space exploration. Stripped of the joyful exuberance of the original, this variation is a complex blend of shadowy trance idents and the mature techno we'd expect from the likes of François K. Not content with soundtracking either side of the peaktime, Feel Fly serves up a third version, following the Compass Point through a musical map of club-dub to turn out an immersive interpolation of deep bass, spring reverb and stabbing keys that sits perfectly beside the Rhythm & Sound catalogue. Each interpretation is an emphatic demonstration of Tomassini's musical talent, production prowess, and stylistic range, and furthermore a fitting tribute to the lasting genius of Esposito's original.

Looking For You is a groovy house track built on breakbeat drums, soulful organ stabs, and a laid-back spoken vocal that brings character and charm. Warm, rhythmic, and a little nostalgic — it’s the sound of chasing a feeling through one disco after another.

Exclusive: Volker.live - My Love Will Set You Free (Lucky Charmz  Remix)

Hamburg 'boy band' Volker.live release their last EP ever. The trio's final act takes one back to the summer of 2019 when they decided to rock and perform on stages around the globe. The highlight of their sets and creative on-stage being always was My Love Will Set You Free, an uplifting homage to electronic music, namely to House with an Acid-note paired with melancholic almost nostalgic-sounding vocals by the trio's friend ÆN. With an as catchy track as My Love Will Set You Free is the release of an EP took shape as several artists wanted to take on remix duties right away. One of them was Berliner Lucky Charmz, who emphasizes the Acid or rather saying the trippy amount of sounds of the track but still keeping the track's disco-ish note. With a total length of almost 10 minutes Lucky Charmz builds up an intriguing groove with even more inspiring synth-lines, which in the end conglomerate to a homogenous summer-ish trippy version, one wishes to hear during the none-existing festival season of summer 2020. 

Volker.live's EP My Love Will Set You Free is already released on vinyl already, digital will follow on Mireia Records on May 29th, 2020.
