Intermezzo

Three years ago in a different life, we used to release tracks for people to dance in a club. We still miss it sometimes, so we decided to repeat the feeling. The second Born Free EP is what we personally think is our best, so we kindly asked the label to put it out on our personal Bandcamp page. To keep it fresh and more exclusive we added a very different version of the Navy Fit Republic track. It's called Dub State. It was born during a session of mixing with Leo and his mighty space echo when we tried to make a dubbed out bass in it, but in the end, and rightfully so, Sling picked the cleaner version. We couldn't agree more, but that second version remained in our hearts and we were waiting for a good opportunity to share it with friends. The pack also includes a poster and a great "Death Dancing Waltz" cover by one and only Marko aka Floating Bstrd, which now feels almost like a precursor of what happened with the world since then. We hope this waltz will end soon and the kick returns. And then comes a snare.

In its 4th​ ​installment, JIN, the Taipei, Taiwan-based label, continues its cosmic journey with a set of tracks that simmer between peak-time dance floor and early morning afterhours vibe.

First up see's Bangkok's Siamese Twins mainstay Sunju Hargun, 1/2 of Mogambo, returning to JIN with two A-side tracks. The first, “Chale”, is a modern ode to classic trance that will leave dancefloors from Bangkok to Berlin in ecstasy. His second track-フーイズカサンドラ("Who is Kassandra'') is a post peak-time 7-minute acid bomb that spins and reverberates in every direction.

The B-side features two remixes of “Chale”. First up, Barcelona's wunderkind Marc Pinol removes The trance needle and rebuilds the track creating a perfectly dubbed-our cosmic trip between musical galaxies. Finishing the E.P., Taipei's own Initials B.B. incorporates guitars samples turning the original into a futuristic, new wave-like slow burner that leaves one floating between planets

The ceremony had begun. In a circle they sat - legs crossed, minds activated - following the softly spoken words of the shaman as he welcomed them in. The music travelled around the space: at times capturing their attention, at others sending them into a trance. As one they drank deeply, allowing the liquid to swirl and churn in their stomachs, before waiting for its final release and for their minds to truly open.

This time last year, Argentinian producer Balam landed on Lyon's Hard Fist Records, to pay tribute to the Latin rhythms and percussion that have become a signature in his productions. 'Chants of Pachamama Part 1' was a deep dive into these traditional sounds that Balam effortlessly fuses with contemporary electronics to create something completely his own.

This time, for the second and final instalment, he explores the ritual and practice of magic plants synonymous with the South American rainforest. Across the original tracks ceremonial chants and live percussion are layered over hypnotic modular synths and heavy bass lines, while on the flip Matias Aguayo closes proceedings with his own dark, twisted take on 'Wakax'.

The latest addition of Roam Recordings offers three stunning remixes of Berlin based 80s New Wave inspired band Pardon Moi. Following the success of their singles “Addiction” on Emerald & Doreen Recordings and “Inside the Outside” on Nein (which has been featured on BBC Radio) the Berlin duo Pardon Moi consisting of Thomas Freudenthal and James Brook have penned the evocative “Power to the People” along with “Touch2Much” which have been released in original form on 7” vinyl from Hoga Nord Rekords. In the “Power to the People Remixes” EP, Roam Recordings has gathered together a dream team of top remixers - Damon Jee, Markus Gibb, and Curses - who each put their own spin on the originals. Damon Jee starts it out with an an energetic and anthemic version of Power to the People that’s sure to get people on their feet. Markus Gibb moves Power to the People into slightly darker and heavier territory with exquisite production that has become his trademark. Switching gears, Curses takes on Touch2Much and keeps the 80s vibe alive with a stylish upbeat dub that’s both quirky and fun.

All three of these remixes come together in an action packed trio of tracks that will surely be a go to when looking to get the dance floor movin’.

Because it's Christmas soon and especially because our friend @acidobasic is very talented, we decided to add his track Sham on our next release "Worst Greatest Hits Vol. I".

Basic - Sham

Now. The rules are simple - they lie to us, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them. 
Before. Those who floated in the ark were weightless and had weightless thoughts. They were neither hungry nor satisfied. They had no happiness and no fear of losing it. Their heads were not filled with petty official calculations, intrigues, promotions, and their shoulders were not burdened with concerns about housing, fuel, bread, and clothes for the children. Love, which from time immemorial has been the delight and the torment of humanity, was powerless to communicate to them its thrill or its agony. Their prison terms were so long that no one even thought of the time when he would go out into freedom. Men with exceptional Intellect, education, and experience, but too devoted to their families to have much of themselves left over for their friends, here belonged only to friends. This is not exist anymore.
"All Human – No Conditions” is the first solo EP by the French producer Itako. The opener “The Country That Does Not Exist” is a slow burning and bass-driven tune in which hypnotic synth and acid lines merge with North African vocal pieces. And then appears MR TC. The Glasgow based musician stretched “The Country That Does Not Exist“ into a tribal workout with breaks in which he lets the machines speak for themselves. This remix was smashing dosents of dancefloors in the end of 2019 and it will become a hit in 2020.

PRÉMIÈRE: A Strange Wedding - Leftovers [Vernacular Records]

Amplio Espectro is a Buenos Aires-based label curated by Carolina Stegmayer and Ismael Pinkler, whose entanglement of their names and personal/professional lives gave birth to the duo Carisma. They successfully amassed a true international dream team of collaborators for their forthcoming release: Cornelius Doctor (France), Andrea Paz (Chile), Bryan Kessler (Germany), Aristidez (Peru), Kodemul (Mexico) and Kamila Govorcin (Chile), each one of them taking us on a remix trip adding their hyper-personal touches to two Carisma's tracks: “En tus Sueños” and “Fracciones”.

The track we chose to premiere brings Aristidez delivering a trippy and groovy interpretation of “Fracciones”. The Peruvian artist, who rocked the world with his 2018 release on the almighty Calypso Records, flirts this time with percussive breakbeats and melodic synth layers, providing a cosmic atmosphere, but with his traditional Latin sonority. The result: A curious concoction that enriches the release of the charismatic Argentinian duo.

Special credits to Ismael Pinkler for the mastering and Agustín Ceretti for the artwork.

Being long time fans of the late Andrew Weatherall just like us here at MT, Full Circle approached a 2nd remix project to Die Orangen with a new angle, an hommage to A.W. 
The result is a dirty dubby banger of a remix to Die Orangen's KRAUTBACK track out of their sophomore LP Zwei Orangen out in 2019 on Malka Tuti.

Die Orangen - Krautback (Full Circle's Fail We May Sail We Must Remix)

The Futurists rejected tradition and introduced experimental sounds , and this fact, that influenced a lot of composers during the 20th century, helped them to build a concept that started the career of Barcelona based duo Iro Aka. The evolution of their music started with this EP, fluctuating through psychedelic and esoteric influences, taking as its main references the continuous technological evolution and those new techniques to make electronic music. “Futur” is an extract of the first ideas of Iro Aka. They started the project at the beginning of the 2017 and then this EP was produced then, showing the abstraction that they felt at that moment, a path drawn by different sounds that came from different people and different places.

Tapan leaves their mark on Zukunft with reimagining the original as a slowly building, tribal inspired and almost sitting in an alternative timeline. Clever use of percussive elements does not take away from the track being playable in the club.

The slightly psychedelic dance floor experience is delivered by Anatolian Weapons. Pulsating rhythms intertwine with classic drum sounds and paint a mood almost contradicting the vocals of the track. Perfect secret track for any dance-floor.
