Maccabi Edit serious is all about edits worth sharing.
Our first edit is coming from the talented producer N.O.Y who delivers euphoric acid house edit for the amazing Loletta Holloway song called 'Crash Goes Love'.

Loletta Holloway - Crash Goes Love (N.O.Y Maccabi Edit)

The door of the plane flung open and its passengers began making their way down the stairs onto the hot tarmac. It was a world a way from the place they'd left; every inch of the sky was bright blue and the trees that surrounded the runway were all bursting with life. All she'd ever known was the cold and dark, just harsh winters and dreary summers, all colour and brightness squeezed out of everything. She squinted up at the sun, letting the warmth bathe her whole. This is what she'd been missing; for the first time she felt like she was really living.

Dublin-based producer and DJ Jamal Sul is on quite the roll recently. Under his moniker Moving Still he recently made his debut on Palms Trax's CWPT label with a collection of original cuts, and he's also responsible for a catalogue of top notch edits that breathe new life into old Arabic gems. His next project is for Amsterdam's Disco Arabesquo and Kuwaiti cassette label Al Nazaer, which sees him inaugurating a new 12" series of edits called 'Yallah Ya Ashab', with two fresh takes on 90s Kuwaiti songs: the first a flip of singer and actor Bashar Ali Sultan's 'Omrena' and the second a rework of a one hit wonder by a band called Firkit el Lotus.

The prolific Boyanza outfit kickstart ‘23 in amazing fashion with their “Girls With Guns” EP crafted by TAPIA. Classy spaced out sounds manoeuvring between the refined ends of the house and techno spectrum, with a splash of nostalgic disco vibe for good measure. The two originals are accompanied by a stellar remix from Alex Aguayo.
First up is “Acapulco Gold” featuring Badmoiselle & Vleks, a five minute trip moulded upon a distinct and sleek atmosphere, mysterious as it moves, but positive energy shines brightly through the cracks, as glistening synths and pads breathe life in to the chugging bass and crisp drum arrangements. Transcending you to the hazy hours of the night. Serving up their interpretation of the original is Alex Aguayo. The vocals flash in and out as feel good chords and melodies continue to develop as the track blossoms. Huge disco drums pulsating through the dance floor, ready to create moments as the track shines brightly within the storm of the night. Last but not least is title track “Girls With Guns”, a characteristic mood simmers from the get go, bubbling throughout maintaining a distinct drive which leaves the listener in a state of trance.
Tasteful sounds from an essential label of recent times, diving into the new year in the right way, showing they plan another year of integral releases from label regulars and faces of new.

The Watchamacallit Machine [PF009] ~ out soon

The day had finally arrived; a succession of thick red crosses on the calendar above his desk marked the lead up. He studied himself in the mirror, smoothing out the creases in his shirt and fixing his tie with a precise flick of the wrist. As if reading from an imaginary prompt, he reeled off his presentation to his reflection one last time, each word and phrase delivered with eloquence and poise. He knew it all off by heart but he still worried about stumbling on the night; there was so much at stake. It all depended on the outcome of today; his future hung in the balance...

After starting life last summer with a release from Istanbul-based producer Rnbws, London imprint Linale Records share their second EP with the world, which sees them digging into the past, mining for 90s gold. Previous only released on CD back in '97, the two tracks on Digital Rubber are the work of three Australian producers: Andy Rantzen and Paul McDermott (also known as Itch-e and Scratch-e) and Anthony Maher (Sheriff Lindo), under the guise of Boo Boo, Mace and Nutcase. An infectious fusion of electro and breakbeat, wrapped up in dreamy ambience, the originals come complete with a brand new remix of the title track from fellow Australian Rudolf C.

PREMIERE: Boo Boo, Mace & Nutcase - Digital Rubber [Linale Records]

Dedicated to Amanda and Ernesto.

Whilst the world is on pause, we thought it be a good idea to showcase some works that have been moving us months before the lockdown kicked in. We wanted to share and replicate the same amount of electric vibrational emotions it initially had on us upon first listening to them, so the best way we could describe that feeling was by calling this VA series, Currents I. In this compilation theres some faces you know from the Power Station roster intersected with some soon to be Power Station release inductees, once this mess clears up obviously. 

Anyways we hope you enjoy these as we have been waiting to share them for some time. Available now on bandcamp.

Stay safe

While the world is still on pause, with no certainty of when things will resume back to “normal”, we have decided to keep the Currents VA series ongoing. 

Started with the idea of sharing and replicating the same amount of electric vibrational emotions it initially had on us upon first listening to the songs, part II of this series includes (again) some familiar faces joined by friends and artists we highly respect. 

We hope you enjoy these ! Stay safe.
