Neurotiker - SOULMEEX DECKS 124

Calystarr - Synthetize [Espacio CIELO]

The Madrid-based duo formed by Rama and Pedro, aka Teemon & Poomba, make their debut on Rotten City Files with the Stellar Rain EP, following their acclaimed work on labels like Música Cavernícola and Espacio Cielo. This release features two original tracks and two remixes by Psycho Weazel and Alvaro Cabana, offering an opportunity to revisit the "Euro Disco" roots and influences of the label.

"Meteoro Rain" is a track with an Italo vibe that, combined with Rosa's vocals, gives the song a retro character. A hopeful synth melody and modern production provide it with the necessary strength to shine on the dance floor without losing its nostalgic soul.

On the other hand, "Stellar Love" retains the Italo essence of the previous track but leans more into epic melodies and arpeggios. It shares the same nostalgic soul and power but is tailored for those who connect more with instrumental productions.

Label head honcho Alvaro Cabana reimagines the first track with a '90s groove, adding a faster tempo and a mood reminiscent of late-'90s Tech/Progressive House, with some nods to classic "Reese" productions (“Rock To the Beat”).

Closing the release, the Swiss duo Psycho Weazel (Exploited, Correspondant, Iptamenos) transforms Stellar Love into a peak-time bomb made for the dance floor, with a hypnotic, trance-like mood sure to delight the most devoted rave heads.

Teemon  & Poomba - Stellar Love (Psycho Weazel Remix) [Rotten City]

Considered one of the most talented artists of his generation, Fausto (SXDNS064) has long been recognized for his unapologetically bold approach to electronic music, crafting pieces that hit with visceral intensity and raw, instinctual energy. His latest EP, “K-Man,” released via Nativo (the label he co-founded), marks a subtle but compelling evolution in his sound. While staying true to his signature physicality, the producer ventures deeper into experimental territories, blending elements of IDM and psychedelia into his club-ready framework. The three original cuts balance intricate sound design with rhythmic urgency, proving that even while exploring new textures, Fausto never loses his grip on the dance floor’s pulse.

Premiered here, Roliva’s rework of the title track takes Fausto’s original and reshapes it into a blistering, acid-laden weapon. Roliva (SXDNS379) strips down the elements and reassembles them with a fiercer, more primal edge, amplifying the theme’s intensity while preserving its muscular core. Jagged synth lines slice through pounding percussion, creating a relentless groove built for dark, sweat-drenched rooms. Yet, beneath the aggression, there’s a calculated precision – a reminder that even at its most untamed, this is music with purpose. Roliva’s remix doesn’t just reinterpret Fausto’s vision; it elevates it, making for a thrilling addition to an already powerful release.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://nativomusic.bandcamp.com/

Let the music speak! 🎶

Dirt, Wind, Freedom

The ship had been on its expedition for decades; its captain sailing it to new and undiscovered locations, capturing the hearts of new found friends and creating memories that would last forever. Many faces joined the voyage along the way, helping the captain steer the ship in new directions. There was no final destination in mind, there never had been — only the journey mattered.

Our own pal Bozza AKA Bawrut lends a hand in inaugurating London-based imprint Other Goodness with Divergent Emotions, a collection of three tracks that, like the title suggests, pull from different moods and feelings. Produced during lockdown, the tracks were made with home listening in mind rather than the club — well, almost all, there's still that no-nonsense Bawrut flair on the opener. The other two tracks bring different flavours: 'Sunshine' channels that post-rave feeling and 'AndreW', which is a special tribute to the Guv'nor himself, matches chugging rhythms with melancholic synth lines.
