The last two years in the career of seasoned Valencia-based producer Mundo D have been quite busy. His originals and remixes have popped up on some of the most important labels of the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene: Side Up Works, Critical Monday, Sincopat, and NEIN Records, for instance, opened their doors to the work of the Spanish artist. He is now back on Tronik Youth’s powerhouse with “Your Enemy”, a 5-track EP divided into three sharp originals and two on-point remixes by Cosmosolar and Vleks. Premiered here, the latter’s collaboration.

Aleks García aka Vleks is a young and skilled Mexican producer who has focused his efforts on the dark side of music by delivering an interesting concoction of Rock-meets-Techno, a work that has already found home on Veneno, Controlla, Logia, and NEIN itself. His interpretation of “Here Come In”, despite less acid and Industrial-infused, keeps the punchy and hefty atmosphere of the original, especially by adding a gorgeous bassline that, in our humble opinion, helped to increase the danceability of the theme.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://neinrecords.bandcamp.com/

PREMIERE340 // Mundo D - Here Come In (Vleks Remix)

Schedules and routines ruled his life; any diversion from the norm and he felt as though his world was caving in. Every day was the same: he at the same meals, walked the same route to work, went to bed at the same time. Others thought he was stubborn and unwilling to try new things, but it was something irrational that he couldn't explain - the fear of the unknown was too much for him to comprehend.

Esprit Divers is the new alias of Catalan DJ and founder of Suara, Coyu. Following a release on Kompakt's Speicher X series he now heads to Mexican imprint Duro for a two-track EP titled Neophobia, which is full of metallic, driving rhythms. Backed up by a remix from Polymath boss Third Son, the release is the next chapter in Coyu's adventure under this fresh moniker, which will be a vehicle for him to explore different sounds 'based on the idea of music of contrast: light and dark, sorrow and hope, mind and soul.'

PREMIERE: Esprit Divers - Neophobia (Third Son Remix) [Duro]

Mexican label Duro welcomes Esprit Divers, the new alias of Coyu, the celebrated Catalan DJ and founder of Suara. After being published on Kompakt's Speicher X series with 'Turbulentos', the Catalan DJ returns with ‘Neophobia’, a two original EP with a tremendous remix from English producer Third Son.

“Eclecticism and diversity is something that has followed me since I started to get interest on music. This is why I have decided to split my projects and create Esprit Divers, who will be in continuous motion seeking for different sounds, based on the idea of music of contrast: light and dark, sorrow and hope, mind and soul.” Esprit Divers

The extraordinary opener is "Slow Retrogress", a cut with solid drums like an iron horse, magnetic rolling bass, an edged melody, and hallucinating vocals. The moment where the train derails and plummets down the tunnel. "Neophobia" might sound like a classic tech house groove, but as it goes along it twists and turns out of reality in a deep and mind-blowing way. The drums and bass create the never-ending mental loop, until the spell is broken by the horns of veracity accompanying the lead vocal, only to be suddenly dumped again to the loophole.

Last of all is the remix from Polymath’s Third Son, a more upbeat and playful cut. The glitchy and erroneous percussions slowly introduce you to then be greeted by a neat and cool synthesizer. Creating a majestic, heterogeneous and open atmosphere.

Born In Mexico returns with the fourth instalment of the 'Tándem' series. Original versions by SÜSS from Guadalajara and from Ciudad Juárez, Lorely Mur. Remix offerings by Jenouise from Zombies In Miami and resident of the Bar Americas, Kassie. 

The EP opens with “Ultraviolet” by SÜSS, a powerful track with a distorted kick, atmospheric deep, electric and desolate. It is followed by Kassie's version of "Ultraviolet", an energetic cut with a dreamy vibe, accompanied by stroboscopic synthesizers.

Paradox Psychosis” offers  solid, rumbling and deep drums, alongside
a mystery synth. 

To close the EP is the remix made by Jenouise, a
resonant track full of breaks,  firm drums and an electrifying rolling bass mixed withacid synthesizers.

AEON is happy to welcome thePhilosophica to the family. With all three coming from different fields and backgrounds they converged into
a musical trifinium.

What had begun as a ‚let’s-see-what-happens‘- situation developed into a
permanent collaboration with one intention: making music that reflects and portrays their diversity and makes it accessible to radically different environments and junctures.
We proudly present a stunning 4 Tracker EP with Remixes from Aheadacheaday and the infamous Chinaski.

“The Straussian Method” is inspired by the belief in the almost infinite malleability of human kind “The Straussian Method” was born restless. Dragging basslines from the sewers and dripping sultry acid lines from the ceiling, TSM condemn those who live in a world of illusions and self-deception.

“Rhetorical Procedure” is a simulation, is the form of the future that deals with what may happen. Sharp snares and eloquent pads set the perfect canvas for the acidic brushstrokes in desperate need to establish that change is possible.

Aheadacheaday Remix of “The Straussian Method” brings the raw breakbeat drum-work with his electro remix on “The Straussian Method”. Based on cynicism and irony to critique his surroundings, distorted bass lines take control to expose the filthy shame of mortals).

Known for his works on Running Back and Dischi Autunno, Chinaski’s Remix brightening of “The Straussian Method” occurs when he takes the rotten elements from the original version, and by a process of RetroSYNTHesis, he sets the High Energy vibe and gives us back the faith in humanity.

After Jepe’s very successful EP „Ginevra“, we welcome Alex Aguayo and Silicodisco back to AEON with their debut EP, called Modern Nostalgia.
With this unification, they wanted to experiment a little bit with both of their vibes and ideas.
Keeping characteristic elements such as the (Synth Wave) reminding drums and basslines that they have been playing with in some of their latest releases, they set a basis. Adding a little melancholic spark and nostalgic Italo bits with the synthesis and some dreamy chords and leads, Alex Aguayo and Silicodisco created an EP that is perfect to praise the end of a hot summer.
We hope you enjoy the melancholic journey!
