For Solenoid Records first Various Artists we're serving up five Dj's & producers from different parts of Europe and of varying styles. The first track "Vertical Motion" by Berlin based dj and producer marta is a 100% dance floor oriented track that organically puts together an ostinato bass line together with acid melodies and 90s shynt chords. The following track "Slowjam" by the italian duo we.amps brings us into a downtempo mood with a complex and perfectly executed orchestration full of surprising elements and colors. Side A ends off with a 90s disco / deep house track created by the founder and creator of Solenoid Records - Erta Ale. Side B showcases Amsterdam based DJ and producer Lupe with his track "Italo Elite" , who has brought to the table a fantastic Disco / Techno / Italo hypnotic track that's not easy to define but impossible not to dance to. The infectious bass line dominates the whole composition and we can't wait to listen to and play it on dancefloor- whenever that may be. Last  but certainly not least  , we end off side B with another artist who came out on Solenoid Records last year: the insatiable Sweetestcape all the way from London. For this release he's put together a tasteful deep house track called "Whatever the mushroom says". It's a perfectly executed track with hypnotic vocals to end off a closing set and ep,  leaving us with a lingering taste for more.

Intriguing electronic duo Pola Women land on Rework’s Exlove label with a fantastic new six track EP.
This duo is made up of Desiree Lune alongside Michel Kuebler, a pair who are split between Berlin and Stuttgart and are inspired by the aesthetics of 80s disco and cinema. Desiree is a singer and writer working on various different projects while studying art at the Kunstakademie Stuttgart. She is used to performing on stage and links here with Michel Kuebler, who is part of electronic bands Rework and She Lies and is adept at crafting synth-based songs and innovative drum machine loops. As Pola Women, the pair create manic rhythms and explore pulsing, immersive sound worlds that combine new wave synthscapes with a signature krautrock beat.
Desiree surprises throughout with haunting and icy vocal lines, they're melancholic and super cold and come in both German and English. That is the case from the off with excellent opener 'Disco Disco.' Her vocals glide over the chattery percussion and tight synth rhythms that are made to make you move. 'Walking Home' is a brooding and downbeat gem, with sombre chords and dejected vocals over more stark drum loops that hark back to the sound of bands like Joy Division and Depeche Mode.
There is a dystopian but absorbing atmosphere to 'Toxic Women' with its frazzled chords and tinny hits, then 'Express' gets a little more playful. There is a hint of disco dazzle to the melodies, while big piano chords lift the mood as synths fire across the mix like shooting stars. The chilly retro chords of 'Never Ever' get you in a trance as rugged arpeggiators make for a tough groove that is softened by more great vocal work from Desiree. An instrumental version of 'Disco Disco' closes down this EP in chugging Kosmische style.

PREMIERE - GREETINGS - Tropicana (Boots & Legs)

Dressed in a white tank top, crinkly red swim shorts, and a pair of flimsy green flip flops, he adopted a nonchalant stroll and headed down the street, pausing as he reached the corner. Lifting his sunglasses and glancing across the road, he noticed a red convertible easing into a parking space in front of an off-license. He watched the driver leap out of the car and hurry into the shop, leaving the keys in the ignition. Pausing for another moment, he lowered his sunglasses and slinked towards the car, casually opening the door and making himself comfortable before turning the key, gripping the wheel, and putting his foot down.

Alinka pulls no punches with the 4AM mix of ‘Do What U Want’; punchy rhythms, chopped vocals and a catchy hook of acid stabs make up the title track of her forthcoming EP on her brand new imprint, Fantasy Life. 'Do What U Want' is a love letter to dance music, flaunting the retro flavours that Alinka has become known for through her DJ sets and releases with Twirl Recordings. But although the EP harks back to those classic house framework, the Berlin-based producer succeeds at keeping each track engaging and fresh by expertly weaving in complex layers of sound.
