Cyclone Days

Resonancer

"Any moment can crash your emotional state of mind. You are looking for help. You can’t find it with-inside of you. A Diamond shines twice a day. The night can be day and vice versa.

"We love you, no doubt. Our friends love you too. Do you love yourself? A Zebra is not a unicorn but is still unique. Who are you to tell us We can’t do it?"

ava. label boss and Robert Johnson affiliate Damiano von Erckert is landing on the aforementioned club's in-house label, two years after his Space, Diversity, No Limits 12". This time he's sharing a full long player, Euphoric Spirits, which transports us straight onto the dance floor and, as its name suggests, it's full of eyes-closed euphoria. Taking cues from the roots of Chicago and Detroit he shares a batch of emotive house, rave and electro cuts that take you out of your head and into your body.

Presenting Belfast’s Black Bones. 

Born out of a shared obsession for crate digging, collecting, and the playing of weird and wonderful music, their releases so far have manifested in a highly-sought series of psychedelic disco 12”s. 

OMDD presents their first ever digital release fusing the sounds of early 1980s Downtown New York with 21st Century beats and massive Dub DNA injections. 

They say: "No longer in our Belfast studio, wedged between the everyday mundane. We are in the ‘down town’ New York bar that lives inside our mind. Gathered with people of the night, getting drunk and getting high, anything feels possible, yet all in good time. 

Drums roll, the bartender cranks the volume up, as the sax begins to play. Time pointing towards morning, yet people want to stay. 

Faces change as wonder sets, as to where their night has gone. Yet we play anything we want because it’s almost dawn. Introducing familiar sounds that mutate into something new. As always, Sherwood never far from thought, some pressure, just for you!"

Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce on June 16th 2023.

PREMIERE: Telesketch - Soy Moderno [Penrose Records]

This had never been part of the plan – not like this, not at such scale. The night was dark and cold all around them as they wandered through the forest in search of a way out. Who knew the woods went so deep and beyond what they might ever had imagined? Such expansion was unprecedented, dense thick greenery everywhere which swallowed the light.

Soon the night would come, heaven forbid they were still wandering, looking for a way out.

In the distance they could hear the noise of the city, yet they were on the outskirts, lost in the trees.

Stevie Cox is set to release a new EP via Optimo’s digital label, the Glasgow based Sub Club resident has become highly regarded in the booth and now turns focus towards the studio with a killer EP based on progressive, cosmic sounds destined to uplift on the dancefloor.

PREMIERE: Stevie Cox - Expansion [Optimo Music]

Unexplored Earths by nICo is the quest for a new habitable planet. An EP of four tracks that blends spacey and acid vibes, dub percussions, and shamanic rhythms. Between reflection and fervor, this introspective and eclectic sound mosaic becomes an odyssey, an ode to nature. nICo explores texures, deep atmospheres and solar melodies and invites us to new landscapes.
