For some time she could see no way out; no way forward; no escape from her own mind. She stepped blindly into each day, hoping that at some point things would miraculously change and she'd wake up from this dream she'd been trapped in. That didn't come on its own but a realisation did, and so she began to take steps in a new direction, and carved herself an invisible path to freedom.  

Tbilisi-based DJ and producer Gacha Bakradze makes his debut under a new alias, Clarinets, for Massimiliano Pagliara's Funnuvojere imprint. Traces of Gacha's work under his own name, which has previously graced labels like Fever AM, Die Orakel, Lapsus Records and Cin Cin, can still be felt across the four tracks on 'Invisible Path', seeing him play with emotive harmonies and blissful, Balearic atmospheres.

01 - Krypton8
02 - Krypton87

Burger Steak is back with his second ever release for us. The BS-Style can be best described as a suspenseful blend of slowed down DnB, Electro and jazzy early 70s movie soundtracks. Krypton8 is the darker tune here with Sci-fi pads and mysterious bleeps and noises. Krypton87 almost has a song structure with distorted lyrics on top (if you can make out what they say, the drinks are on us), mandolin (sic!), brass instruments and flutes and its overall vibe remind us a bit of early Yello recordings. We hope you enjoy these two beautiful pieces as much as we do. 

All tracks mixed by Stefan Janson and mastered by Salz Mastering.

Bulgarian producer Gabriella Vergilov returns to Thema Recordings with a selection of inspired techno cuts featuring two remixes from Alan Oldham under his DJ T-1000 guise.

Once planted, certain seeds tend to grow faster than others. To say this is the case with Gabriella Vergilov is by and large an understatement. Debuting on Thema’s digital series in 2016, she’s continued turning heads with a follow up release on Dustin Zahn’s Enemy Records. Returning to Lenny Posso’s renowned label, ‘Termosfera’ sees Vergilov in fine form and many will recognise ‘Boring Shit’ from fabric 96 by DVS1, one of her many fans alongside Truncate, Anastasia Kristensen, DJ Rolando, Machine Woman, Francois X and KiNK.

This release encompasses Vergilov’s wide range of influences as she channels exquisite rhythms, with the pulsating synths and crystalline atmospherics of ‘Termosfera’ and throbbing bass and seductive whispers of ‘Siempre Loco’. Next up is the punishing ‘Boring Shit’ with its rattling hats and trippy effects whilst Vergilov’s final original is an ethereal beatless affair named ‘Atmosfera’.

Bringing two reinterpretations of ‘Boring Shit’, DJ T-1000’s remixes are exemplary of how he brilliantly blends classic Detroit elements with tough modern techno. His “Not So Boring” Remix skips along with an aquatic aesthetic complete with punchy snares and metallic details, whilst the Alternate Remix is less deep in comparison whilst employing more robust percussion.

Gabriella Vergilov ‘Termosfera’ drops on Thema Recordings on 10th September (Vinyl) and 17th September (Digital) 2018.

Jozef K strides into 2020 with his long awaited debut album on the iconic Nite Grooves label. Entitled Battle, it is a confident and comprehensive 10 track affair that showcases his emotive, unique and meticulous sound.

Jozef K is a very real talent with a unique sound - combining melodic house elements with futuristic soundscapes, Chicago house and early U.K. rave/jungle nostalgia. All drawing from the same emotive palette. He has been releasing music in such a manner for years now, garnering constant high-profile press support and DJ backing from major tastemakers who reach for his tracks. The single from this album Ladies & Gentlemen We Are In Descent, exemplifying this with personal support from prominent underground figures - DJ Seinfeld, Laurent Garnier, Brame & Hamo, Levon Vincent, Lauren Flax and many more.

In 2020, he will offer his most accomplished release schedule to date across labels such as Rawax, Sasha's Last Night On Earth, Lossless, Constant Circles, new atmospheric jungle material under his Bluematter alias and a collaboration with Tin Man. In the midst of all that, however, is this masterfully crafted 10 track debut album on Nite Grooves, the long running and legendary US label. This ambitious full length is further expansion into his unique sound; a roller coaster of emotions through house, ambient and jungle. [Stay tuned for a huge post-album release announcement too, arguably his biggest yet.]

Restriction opens the album with deeply immersive ambience, soft drums and muffled spoken words, hinting at the excitement that is to come. Inhale/Exhale is a dreamy, lo-fi house trip. Indigo Isabelline follows with pure, hypnotic deep house bliss, utilising dusty drums and ethereal pads. Track 4 - Tokyo Harmonic Sequence, is an expertly stripped back deep techno cut featuring haunting vocals, brooding bassline and atmospheric soundscape textures.

After the rave nostalgic feeling of L-O-V-E, with its warehouse breakbeats and far-sighted chords, heavily coveted album single Ladies & Gentlemen We Are In Descent is an ethereal, acid track perfect for a sunrise moment. The smooth and seductively deep atmospheres continue onto the cavernous, hard hitting T.2.A.T.D.before an all out jungle assault via Caught A Glimpse Now It Haunts Me, combining breakbeats, sirens and Reese bassline to maximum effect. This track would not be out of place on a Bluematter record. Penultimate track, Golden Galaxies Made Of Light is an otherworldly, pensive, ambient moment, guiding the listener into the stunning, emotive closer Sunrise MCR, which is Jozef’s way of bringing this masterful record home to his beloved city.
A standout debut album from a unique producer.

Maxi Degrassi - Desert In Podcast 02

AEON is nearing its 50th release. Before we touch that big number, we would like to share a fine record by the honcho himself, Alex Niggemann. The inspiration behind this release was found in experimenting with a vocoder. Alex explains: “society might have us all as robots if we didn’t take care to be open minded - both musically and in general. That was the inspiration and it was great fun to make.”. A view that fits the current zeitgeist perfectly.
The futuristic theme is felt from the offset, as the forward-thinking sound of „Like A Robot“ gets underway. Reverberating beats blend into echoing machine-like vocal samples, before chiming keys give way to a stunning lead synth that feels both emotive and danceable in one. The vocoded vocals meeting a plea to replace the human race with robots, cause the track to have a rather dystopian notion. 
The ‘Technology’ vibe is inspired by late 80ies breakbeat tracks. Once the beat is in full range with the sparkling & upclimbing synths, pictures of vintage B-boys & girls videos, making their acrobatic dance moves, are projected in our minds. A slight twist brings the classic Juno 6 lead synth characterizing the main part.  
For the remix, AEON invited Fabrizio Mammarella, who’s known from his release on DFA, Permanent Vaca- tion or Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondent as well as his collaborations with Lauer as Black Spuma. Mam- marella’s version of ‘Technology’ transforms the break beats in a solid 4 to the floor groove, while the more electro sounding bassline of the original is replaced with a classic Italo inspired synth sequencer that un- doubtedly will please the crowd on the dancefloor. 
The last original track of this EP is called ‘Shepherds’ named after those who control. Poignant strings dive in and out, while the constant loopy groove could bring back memories of musically inspired „Moroder“ nights at good old Studio 54. 
The 49th release on AEON is again a complete pack by the Berlin label.
