English Translation:
 “Do you know my son, some day, shortly
after this powerful, apocalyptic detonation 
when there are only giant, blunt rocks on the 
Earth coated in a layer of thick, black soot,
a grand, white, radiant spaceship will land.
Somewhere between former Los Angeles
and the vaporized Black Sea.

And these strange, lanky beings
will have pills on-board
that they would have given us humans
as a gift, as always, when one visits
any savages,
one gives them small gifts.

Pills against sadness
they’d have given us, as a gift,
if we were still there.
Imagine, my son –”
said the old man mournfully –
“wonderful, little pills against sadness.”

“And these strange, lanky beings
will leave their spaceship, they will look
around and immediately know that a short 
while ago a powerful, apocalyptic 
detonation occurred. And they will sit 
between the giant, blunt rocks,
shaking their heads and breathing heavily.

And each of them will quickly swallow a
pill against sadness.
One of them will even write with their finger 
in the thick, black soot on a giant, blunt rock:

‘We would have loved to know what you are! 
How you look!
How you speak!
Humans!’

And then suddenly one of them will
shout, they will shout that they found something. 
And that will be an old, dented, 
little film projector, with a movie reel.
Sure, why not?” said the old man.

“And they’ll be overjoyed,
the strange, lanky beings will wait
until it’s dark and project the movie
on their grand, white, radiant spaceship.
And they will be astonished because 
they will see a Mickey Mouse movie.
A Mickey Mouse movie with Donald Duck, 
Tom Cat, and Goofy.

And these strange, lanky beings
will climb into their spaceship and say,

‘They were cheerful, these humans.
They looked cheerful,
they spoke cheerfully.
We would have given them our
pills against sadness
in vain.’”

DJ PUK
was born in a small town in the Northern Italy. Having grasped the underground traditions of DJing and producing from a young age, music has come naturally to him.Through the years he has been spoiling us with a bunch of techno/melodic house tracks on various labels. DJ PUK´s MONOHY EP is his first slow release and we have fallen in love with the sound he has created. Underplayed TR 303 acid patterns, playful Indian instrumentation and dynamic, organic storytelling throws us into an exploratory journey through his soundscapes which are sure to keep every slow dance floor grooving.

(Stingray Vision Records/MNL/Dopamin)

04 DJ PUK - To Saturn (Original)

Following up on his collaborative Ep "Middle Of The Road  Less Travelled" with Michal Turtle, HOVE is back with another solo EP on his imprint Light of Other Days. The ﬁve breezy and balearic-tinged tracks were recorded and produced in HOVE’s home studio in Zurich between December 2018 and June 2019.  On "In Motion" HOVE’s sound evolves from drifting and dreamy ambiences into tape-saturated mid-tempo bumpers  right back into shimmering chords, spiked with echoing guitars  and ﬁeld-recordings. As with its predecessors, he interweaves organic sounds with seductive rhythms and percolated ambient pads into a dense yet familiar HOVE sound. "In Motion"  is inspired by the pure feeling of listening to House, Synth-Pop,  Wave, Dub and New Age records. It is HOVE’s third solo EP  and his ﬁrst release of 2019.

PREMIERE : HOVE - Right Outside (Longer Version)

Leading Mexican label Duro welcome countryman Rigopolar for four of his fantastically expansive and expressive disco tunes. The now US based Rigopolar is a cosmic explorer and space sound aficionado with credits on the likes of Tom Tom Disco dating back five or so years. His mix of disco and techno has taken him to gigs round the world, podcasts for Soma and remixes on the likes of Beat is Murder. Brilliant opener ‘Black Mantis’ is a spooky cut with a mysterious lead that takes you into a mystic forest. The drums move things on as sci-fi sounds and withering synths add details to this most evocative musical story. ‘Espiral’ is a colourful, psychedelic scandi-disco classic with looping arps taking you ever further into the stars. Its craftsmanship is second to none as it draws you deeper and deeper in. The scintillating ‘Time’ is another lush cut with plenty of glistening and glowing synths. Always ascending through the mix, they lift your spirits and hands in equal measure while the deeper drums keep your feet moving. Last of all is ‘Crashes’, a slower and more melancholic track that is paired back to a steamy vocal and rolling drums. A poignant one-finger melody brings tenderness to this brilliantly introspective closer. This is an exceptional trip though timeless disco with a difference

We Are One

PREMIERE : Rigopolar - Crashes

Sascha Funke takes control of the first remix, in this case it is 'Lazer In The Jungle' which begins with a heart beat, sounds and percussion accompany, charming minimalism until you start the journey through a conversation of synthesizers marked by arrangements that bounce from one side to another, a celestial pad appears, the textures are acidified giving way to the bass that ends up to get us into the trip. Suddenly, everything disappears, empty, air, the percussions return, the groove begins, the hook of the original theme appears for the first time so that your whole body ends up dancing until the end.

LifeisLove, Pseudosimian - Masterpeace

Ombra International return with another five track V/A monolith that reinforces the label’s international status. Each artist on Ombra 012 - all making their debut on Curses’ ever incisive label - hails from a different territory. Lithuania, Russia, Israel, Spain and France all representing… And all
sounding deep, mysterious, sleazy, cosmic and alluring.
Zakmina starts the trip. Building on recent release on Nein and XXX, here he ploughs a thunder like bass chug that gradually builds in its intensity. It’s a perfect scene-setter for the sleazy funk that follows; Salto Honduras continues to make the conversion from DJ to producer with the dark and drum-heavy ‘Betonada’ while Pontias takes us to the edge of the universe on a rocket made of slo-mo techno with ‘Easter Eggs’. Slow, heavy and star- gazing sexy. Dig deeper for more smouldering grooves as Mike Sacchetti’s ‘Dead As Disco’ gets full- on psychedelic in an early 200's Ewan Pearson kind of way while Volta Cab brings this heady session to close with a series of fractured electroid beats, lavish sweeping pads and a grizzly analog bassline that anchors this track deep deep deep into the dance, the night and our psyches.
Something for everyone. It’s another superlative EP from the Ombra family…

PREMIERE : Zakmina - Not Everyone Can Enter

Having already contributed a remix to the third EP on Heimlich Musik, Berlin-based downtempo wizard Dolph now returns to the label with a solid solo EP consisting of four original mixes and remixes by Arutani and O/Y. 
Chasing the Dragon enchants with a distinctive mixture of organic elements and well-dosed synth lines, creating a unique sound oscillating between dancefloor energy and living room atmosphere. Originating from Dolph's infamous live performances, the 11th EP out on Heimlich Musik paints a coherent and homogeneous picture. The release's title track is a metaphoric attempt to chase your inner dragon, describing a passionate state of consciousness between self-destruction and perfectionism, and the challenging attempt to find the balance between light and darkness. Highlighting melancholic elements with bright bell sounds, this inner fight is drawn in vivid detail, leaving the question open if the dragon ever gets caught. OMFG picks up this vibe without giving a clear answer - creating a euphoric feeling of enlightenment by mixing up a dominant lead sound with humanoid drums. As a symbol of falling for the dark side, Lilith is building up an atmosphere of irrational and passionate instincts, which are present as a dominant mood throughout every element of the track. Invictus is in turn built upon a certain kind of optimism that emerges at the end of Dolph’s Chasing the Dragon. In his remix, O/Y strips down OMFG to its very essentials, building up a version that can be identified as the signature O/Y sound from the very first second, through his use of groove  – without losing the originals’ focus. Arutani, on the other hand, tries to make sure the dragon gets caught in the end.

PREMIERE: Dolph — Invictus (Arutani Remix) [Heimlich Musik]

The journey has now a shape, earned from the inglorious perseverance of two bastard astronauts, who are only looking both forward and after the one and only single “Pensiero Stupendo”.
Phunk Ad Elica is “the pop not so pop”, infected by the thrill of discovering. New worlds are guaranteed, not a trip for believers - not a beat for sleepers. 
Just an escape for dreamers. Phunk is phunk. Ad that’s what you’re reading. Elica is just a tool to fly.

Label boss Aimes returns to his home base with a double track ep of chugging acid-tinged left-field techno. Both tracks implore multi-dimensional existiliast lyrics combined with cosmic leaning production.  
 A1 is the title track of course, describing an out of this world existential experience. The track is bouncy, fun, and slightly odd, but certainly danceable. 
 On A2 (which is offered up only on vinyl), Aimes takes the original song and turns it into a club-ready slow-burning stomper with a full on repetitious acidic bassline fit for any sleazy techno set.  
 The remix on A3 comes courtesy of Sean Johnston aka Hardway Bros (member of A Love from Outer Space with Andrew Weatherall) who turns the original into a dark and brooding version with a punchy bassline and cosmic synths.  
 Aimes’ second original on the EP, We Are Eternal, is a massive slowed down acid burner that reiterates the eternalness of humanity. Incredibly psychedelic in nature, the pulsing bass and bubbling acid line is prime for a dark and sweaty rave.  
 B2 comes courtesy of Panorama Bar resident Massimiliano Pagliara who submits a cosmic, dubbed out flip of the original, taking the listener on an extended spatial journey. 
 On B3 Japanese producer Que Sakamoto and his production partner NT ramp up the bpms for a dark disco rendition of the original.

PREMIERE : Aimes - We Are Eternal (Que Sakamoto & NT Remix)

It was darkness when they rose from their slumber, barely a sliver of sunshine poking its head above the horizon. They fumbled around as they made their way out the door and on to the dimly lit street. It wasn't a long journey to the foot of the mountain but beyond that the walk ahead would be long and testing. You had to put a little work in to reap the rewards and hey knew that the beautiful sights that awaited them at the top would make it all worthwhile...

Over the last four years, since his first release on Maciek Sienkiewicz's FASRAT imprint, Das Komplex has become one of the most respected producers in his home country of Poland. He's since gone on to put out music on labels like Love On The Rocks and People Must Jam, continuing to flaunt his own signature brand of hazy sample-based house. His next release, Reverse Hallucination, finds a home on Artur8, Anton Klint & Edvin E's freshly founded King Of Kong imprint, which launched last year, and sees him bring four soul-infused tracks peppered with dreamy synths, percussive grooves and deep bass riffs.

PREMIERE: Das Komplex - Maybe There [King Of Kong]
