At night the city changed, it became unrecognisable under the bright hue of the neon lights that lined the streets. The people were different too, only a certain type of person would risk being out after darkness took hold — the type that had no fear; the type that were fuelled by desire and greed. They prowled from dusk till dawn — this dark city was now theirs for the taking.

For their next release, Budapest's Dalmata Daniel bring together the old school and the new, welcoming back label mate CT Kidobó for a split EP alongside electro maestro Maelstrom. The fifth outing in their Split series, both producers use analogue hardware to explore the dark corners of forceful electro across two tracks each. On the A-Side Maelstrom sets the pace with heavy, interstellar rhythms before CT Kidobó takes the reins on the flip with two mysterious synth-driven cuts for dark nights and dark deeds.

*PREMIERE*

Bliss Records return with their 23rd release on the imprint, this one being a V/A stacked with talent. We have followed Bliss Records for a long time and they always deliver with quality releases, this EP follows suit.

Kiwa's 'Ácido Infinito' is a nostalgic track that honours the old school acid house scene of the late 80s/90s, using a similar style of sounds to create an atmosphere to rival the warehouses from yesteryear. The track will satisfy your acid craving with a prominent acid line present throughout, and varying breaks to lower energy and increase tension, and before you know it, thrusting you back into the heart of the track.

Ácido Infinito along with the rest of the EP is out now to purchase on Bandcamp, see below for artist and label socials along with the link to purchase this gem.

Lunar Rebirth EP (Renacimiento Lunar EP) emerge desde la sombra, como un eco distante que vuelve a cobrar forma. Después de un largo silencio, este lanzamiento marca el despertar de algo que nunca murió, solo se ocultó en la oscuridad esperando el momento exacto para volver.

Nacido bajo el influjo de la luna, este EP es un acto de resurrección. No es solo música, es un rito: una transformación, un renacer desde lo profundo. Cada sonido atraviesa la penumbra, arrastrando consigo fragmentos del pasado, renovados, distorsionados, más crudos.

Es el retorno de una energía contenida. Lunar Rebirth no busca la luz, se alimenta de la fase oscura, del pulso silencioso que late en lo invisible. Así, MOON SOUND vuelve a sonar... desde la sombra.
