Terra Magica Rec. is set to release their 4-track inaugural release, including remixes by DJ Normal 4 and DJ Chrysalis.

Founded by Munich-based music producers and DJs Mirko Hecktor and Tom Sprenger in mid-pandemic times of 2021, the label’s first release hosts two tracks of the label bosses themselves under their moniker Hektisch Sprengen DJs. Next to the two originals, the undeniably strong account opener also features excellent remixes from DJ Normal 4 and DJ Chrysalis.

The walls were painted a myriad of beautiful colours, each shone and shimmered beneath the light which poured through the windows up above. The basilica was radiant and glowing in the light of the morning sun as the worshippers began to gather before the mighty old altar. A soft hum from the organ reverberated between the tall columns as whispers floated beneath the spires up above. This was a peaceful place, a heavenly temple of the great beyond. 

Chubby are set to release a killer compilation of house music destined to work wonders on sun kissed dancefloors and in dark, hazy rooms. This is house music as it should be, Ewan Jansen delights as per.

Vol.4

PREMIERE: Ewan Jansen - Basilica [Chubby]

Time had slipped through his fingers, he could barely recollect a moment of the last 12 hours. He’d fallen into another world and left reality behind him, his mind lost in the spaces in-between. Now he had to piece the fragments back together and find a way back to normality.

For the next instalment on Jason Peters’ Roam Recordings, Italian producers Giorgio Giri and Marco Lentano unite under their Mushrooms Project alias for a dose of hypnotic, downtempo cuts. True to their name, psychedelia is the dish of the day, with the duo serving up four tracks that match mind expanding electronics and analog instrumentation.

Hektisch Sprengen DJs - Social Rub

B1_Hektisch Sprengen DJs - Social Rub (DJ Chrysalis PDQ Remix)

Terra Magica Records, a micro-label from Munich, starts with its first release in Sept./Oct. with a 4 tracker 12".

Masterminds Mirko Hecktor & Tom Sprenger present Social Rub with two tracks of Hektisch Sprengen DJ`s on side A. The tracks are called Social Rub and Dancing Dust. Both tracks are full of great diversity and different electronic genres inspired by African Roots Music, Japanese Rituals Sounds and TR-808 Grooves.

On the flip side internationally reknown DJ Normal 4 (Warning, Aiwo rec.) will deliver a remix treatment for ‘Dancing Dust’ called Normal 4`s Liquid Lifespender MixX.

Fully tooled for club use, the remix navigates through early UK-Rave, hypnotic Trance with an electric sitar anthem lead and Breakbeats while keeping up the Ethno touch. There will be another remix on the
B side by DJ Chrysalis (PP, Head Rush ENT.) from Down Under
of `Social Rub‘ called PDQ Remix which is nestled between dreamy and acid influences.

PREMIERE⚡️Hektisch Sprengen DJs - Dancing Dust (DJ Normal 4s Liquid Lifespender MixX) [Terra Magica]

This is the first release of the brand new vinyl label Terra Magica Rec. which was founded by Munich based music producers and DJs Mirko Hecktor and Tom Sprenger in mid-pandemic times of 2021.

The first release hosts two tracks of the label bosses themselves under their moniker Hektisch Sprengen DJs. In German language the term Hektisch Sprengen basically means blowing up things in a very hectic manner. Instead prepare for quite the contrary sound vise. Their tracks Social Rub and Dancing Dust are electronic, analog Slow-Disco-Cosmic-Trance-Tunes containing some SH101 and Korg synth lines with TR-808 beats and some Japanese, African 2 South-American hints. While one track is tracing an ultra rare psychedelic voice sample from Nigeria’s 70’s Highlife scene the other one uses a little boinx gag.

To round things up no other than Dirk Leyers from Africaine 808 did the final mixdown on those tunes.

On top DJ Normal 4 straight outta ‚Pott’ hits full on groove with an uncanny Funk Breaks anthem recalling early 90s Warp and the best of UK-Big-Beat-Acid and conga easiness.

Last but not least Down Under`s DJ Chrysalis jumps into the genre madness on Terra M`s first release delivering a raw UK-Garage-IDM influenced dreamy synth shiver down your spines transcending those fellow e-dancers straight into the golden years of club culture.

Premiere: Hektisch Sprengen DJ's - Social Rub [Terra Magica Rec.]

Wandering amongst the city streets he was reminded of memories of the past when he used to run wild. Perhaps he'd been reckless and careless back then but at least he'd been free.

The man of the present was not afforded the same luxuries, instead he was trapped by the pressure of a systemic regime which had left him tired from work with little notion left for play.

Those memories were pleasant though - filled with happy go lucky sentiment from a simpler, easier, more peaceful time. Not like now...

Matheson appears on a new compilation from Belfast based record label Extended Play. The compilation see's them veer off piste - moving away from club focussed material to curate an assortment of leftfield electronics from rising stars and producers with promise.

PREMIERE: Matheson - Systemic [Extended Play]

Jamal Moss, Takeshi Kouzuki, FLML and Mituo Shiomi take part in “Tracks From The Alley Vol. II”, a various artists four-tracker EP which follows the imprint of the previous release of the Bologna based underground music label Alley Version. Here the jackin’ and acid house/techno sonic palette is diverted in a raw, immersive and screwy signature. Rough vibes for freaky minds. Limited 12″ vinyl.

Premiere: Takeshi Kouzuki - Limited [Alley Version]

Everything ground to a holt that morning. This seemingly well-oiled machine was not all it was cracked up to be; people had already left in their droves, only a few remained in the hope that they'd be rewarded for their commitment, but they'd be waiting a long time. Nobody knew the root cause of this breakdown but it had been a longtime coming, there was only so much those who wielded power could get away with before a mass exodus would ensue.

Newly born label Terra Magica are kicking off proceedings with a release from the two head honchos: Munich-based producers and DJs Mirko Hecktor and Tom Sprenger. Under their Hektisch Sprengen guise, which in German means to blow up things in a very hectic manner, the pair are doing just the opposite sound-wise - the two tracks are slow analog jams that draw from an array of genres and places. The pair have invited four artists to remix the tracks too including our pick from Aussie producer DJ Chrysalis who puts a UK-G influenced spin on 'Dancing Dust'.

PREMIERE: Hektisch Sprengen DJs - Dancing Dust (DJ Chrysalis PDQ Remix) [Terra Magica Rec]

After a 5 year hiatus, Tel Aviv based artist Naduve, returns to Cocktail d’Amore Music with Hypogeum. Each of these tracks facilitates its own special part in the life of party. Starting off on a hypnotic and forward driven note Echo Wave Bay leads dancers perfectly into hypnosis with its trance inducing melodies which wave upward and downward. Title track Hypogeum begins to pull on the heart strings with its soft synths floating over pastel textures before giving way to the aptly titled FX Jungle, a deep trip into the low lying canopies of your imagination. Ending where we began Thursday Gem explores the same cyclical themes as Echo Wave but in a subdued fashion making it a perfect choice for winding down any raucous party.

B1  FX Jungle Ft Stephan Bazbaz

We live the beginning of the end of the world. The brutalities of capitalism dim our hope. Soaring unemployment, poverty, growing state authoritarianism, proto-fascist mobs, micro-organism plagues, increasingly horrific climate disasters…. Pessimism leads us to understand the urgency of rear guard battle and sabotage of existing orders. Our music is for militants who are fighting to salvage the destruction of our eco-systems; who are constructing truly liberating alternatives on the ashes.

Trascend∆nce - You Will Be Nobody EP
BUY LINK: https://havalonrecords.bandcamp.com/releases
Label: Havalon Records (https://soundcloud.com/havalonrecords)
https://soundcloud.com/riccardo_buccirossi

Through the alias Trascendance, coined in 2021, Riccardo Buccirossi obtains an alchemical mixture of techno, electro and acid, which are precisely the strands from which he draws inspiration for the debut album of Havalon Records founded by Alessandro Di Fulvio and Jacopo. In "Formula", a title in line with the alchemical world, he unrolls a red-hot metal spiral on a soft and malleable beat that melts like butter under the desert sun. "Reaction" moves on similar coordinates through Tb-303 barbed wire and bleepy squares in the background. Finally, the left setting of "Creation" is followed by "Havok" which summarizes the Detroit lesson by intertwining it with vibrant and virtuous acid veins.

Cafe De La Jungle - Tuvan Spirits (incl. Tolouse Low Trax Remix)
BUIY LINK: https://dansledesert.bandcamp.com/album/tuvan-spirits-incl-tolouse-low-trax-remix
Label: Dans le Desert (https://soundcloud.com/dans-le-desert)
https://soundcloud.com/cafe-de-la-jungle

Cafe de la Jungle returns with Tuvan Spirits EP for Dans de la Desert, exploring further his fascination with shamanic practices in highly dynamic sound environments.

While his excellent debut Dancing with Cicadas was rife with dangerous and mysterious rhythms, the Kraków-based producer takes a more laid back approach this time. Built around cavernous ambiance and bass notes played with such grace they paint a picture of a dance ritual so subtle, it’s visceral and highly narrative at the same time. While the bass ballet of “Kus” opens the record in a beautiful and stoic way, its followup—the percussive “Chas”—takes on a playful approach as it’s juxtaposing throat singing samples with jaw harp-like one off sounds bouncing off skittery beats. “Kysh” on the other hand puts Zajac’s mastery of modular sculpting to such a high that you might change your opinion about Italians being the masters of dubby, ambient techno you can drown in.

To top off the EP in a spectacular way, Cafe de la Jungle invited Toulouse Low Trax who turned “Kysh” into his trademark mechanical style, achieving a fascinating combination of off-kilter clockwork precision and long-forgotten folklore of unknown lands.

Terra Magica Rec. is firmly based in Munich and founded by Tom Sprenger and Mirko Hecktor. The spirit of Terra Magica Rec. is to share underground music from heavy, slow and trippy to rough, distinct catchy dance floor oriented rhythms. The label bosses Tom and Mirko operate under their moniker Hektisch Sprengen DJs (In German language the term Hektisch Sprengen basically means blowing up things in a hectic manner). In contrast to this moniker prepare for quite the contrary sound vise: Shimmering synths between mysterious dubiously sounds, dark and slow breakbeat cuts, floaty atmospheric IDM breakdowns and uptempo acid and trance landscapes. In addition to their own solo projects the focus of the label lies on releasing solo projects and various artist compilations drawing from a pool of talented individuals hailing from corners of the globe.
