Space Is Full Of Noise the Remixes 

PREMIERE: TON618 - Pillars of Creation (Danny Lo Scippo Remix) [EXODUS Recordings]

Maestro and Tabache are great friends and met in August 2022 for the last time before Maestro left Bologna and returned to live in Germany. So they decided to meet in Maestro’s studio to say goodbye for the last time and do their first jam session.

When tabache arrived he repeatedly pushed the doorbell (track1 “Campanello”), then entered and found in Maestro’s house also his young brother Trombetta that therefore casually joined in the jam. They played all day till night, stopping just for a pizza (track 2) ordered in the “Favela” (track 3) restaurant under their house.

The EP is nothing more than the documentation of the 3 most intense moments of those hours.

It was all composed with analog instruments, some old organs, one ms-20, some samplers, Elektron RYTM and some weird synths.

François Lefevre also known as Moonee is a producer on the move. Busy releasing music on Groovence, Slothboogie and most recently an album on Oath, running his own record label club nights and also doing radio. With such a busy schedule you may wonder if there is room for making music for other labels? Yes, of course. Omena is proud to have François on board for the

Cactus Theory is an EP that tells four different stories. The opening track Summer Of Lava is a bold take on the RnB influenced house sound that makes the perfect end of the night track. It's hands down a summer anthem. Up next we got Interpretations, a track with that sounds like it's taken from the album Pansoul by Motorbass. Maquis got all the ingredients we've come to love in a Moonee track. It's dreamy, almost floating with beautiful strings and a great uptempo beat.

Australian artist Gratts wrote 'Sun Circles' as an empowerment anthem for his two sons and it dropped to plenty of acclaim last year. In its wake, Gratts DJed with Adelaide's multi-talented Alexander Flood on percussion and after some conversations he was enlisted to bring his jazz background to a remix of the original. He did so live as part of a quintet and the result is a super summery, airy rework with soulful vocals that linger long in the air. Michigan-based techno and ambient maestro John Beltran appears on the flip to bring a classy Balearic remix that will have you dreaming of longer, warmer nights and plenty of sun-kissed dancing fun

Anatolian Weapons has always brought intriguing influence to techno. His exploration of rhythm and texture is central to what he does and once more here he takes us on a winding journey through slow down techno and mind altering synths. There is a new age charm to the synths of 'Desert Sun' while the drums chug below. 'The Desert Track II' is a snaking techno sound with creepy sci-fi melodies and twitchy pads off in the distance and 'Ivan's Track' keeps it celestial with more otherworldly melodies and rugged mid tempo drums. Two further unhurried sounds make a great mix of airy melody and metallic drum forms.

Italian ambient and experimental record label Glacial Movements gear up to release their debut album from mysterious producer Ark Zead...Our pick from the album is 'Iglu' - an 8-minute odyssey of dark ambient and FX-drenched frequencies, invoking the gradual melting of a calving iceberg into emerald waters and its disappearance from the universe.

Vertigini is the alias of a prodigious talent. To date, Arthur Mukharlyamov’s infectious hooks have only been available digitally. Bordello A Parigi are more than excited to give this analogue alchemist his full vinyl debut. Four tracks make up the aptly named Thunder. The title piece rumbles from speaker cones, thick banks of bass and crisp rhythms crack before smooth strings give way to flashes of melodic radiance. Inspiration lies in the heavens with this EP, he’s leaving the bonds of earth for “Galaxy Funk”. Textured percussion is cut with acid grooves while generous breaks fuel this expedition. A fierce arpeggiator immediately ignites the flip, lancing beats pierce this burbling bulwark as honeyed notes melt in the muscled sweetness of “Final Space”. The journey back to Earth is imminent, but not without one final fun-filled flurry. Rich drum patterns are the foundation for the sticky groove of “Space Trip”. Vocals echo skyward while Vertigini weaves a dancefloor delight to ease re-entry to reality.

The water was still down by riverside, revellers had gathered on the banks to talk shop and reflect on what had been, the sky a puffy assortment of fairy like clouds which hovered overhead. It was a muted blanc, a trusting colour which promised stillness and peace throughout the evening.

The midweek blues had long since passed as they watched the boats go slowly past, indulging in pleasant conversation as the echo of laughter rolled downstream.

These were the nights when things went right.

Noire & Blanche release a well crafted EP made up of luxurious, deep textures which will soundtrack many a summers evening and moody basement we predict. House music very much as it was intended to be so.

INCOMING : Vini Pistori Feat Abrão - Sobrevivendo O Desacordo (Iñigo Vontier Remix) #Calypso

The Calypso cult keeps spreading around the world and this time they welcome: Vini Pistori and Red Axes frequent guest Abrão. The two Brasilians join forces to deliver an epic EP called “Louco & Sobrevivendo”.

“Luoco Chama” slowly starts with a simple beat until Abrao's vocals kick in to get you in the mood while a mental arp keeps the track driving foward. “Sobrevivendo o Desacordo” brings a strong modulating bass and again the epic Abrao vocals intervine for a dreamy interlude and a complete release of energy. The tracks are simple to leave space for the voice but powerfull enough to have a life on it's own.

Label bosses come to rework each of the tracks. Iñigo takes “Sobrevivendo o Desacordo” and transforms it into a percussion frenzy with robotic vocals. While Thomass takes “Luoco Chama” and makes it an instant classic with a "White Horse style" bassline and acid touches that add new psychedelia to the track.

Latin american forces in full swing from start to finish.

INCOMING : Vini Pistori Feat Abrão - Sobrevivendo O Desacordo (Iñigo Vontier Remix) #Calypso

Tenebrous frenchman Jon Beige (formerly known as Beige) strikes back with his 3rd release, and once again creates his own genres that we’re going to define here as ghettowave or leftfield-core. Melting high-tech soundscapes, hypnotic synths and broken drums, his heavily synthetic universe spreads into 5 new tracks. Here’s a few words about them, including comments from the producer himself.

Distorsion Naturelle de l’Auto Radio is a straight-in-the-face kind of entrance. This arid and distorted urban jam puts you straight in the heart of Jon Beige’s dystopian Gotham paradise « I often imagine it as a laser tag game that would turn wrong ».  

On Palo Santo, Jon Beige is going dancehall. Using the genre’s symptomatic drum pattern, he navigates between club-friendly and meditative moods in a tensed yet balanced journey. « That’s the track I think is the most finished of the EP, but all the tracks match together in a not-fully-calculated way ».Hydrocution is a funk ballad, like a mysterious forest walk surrounded by disturbing but harmless creatures that are taking you to a bright glade, where you will finally stumble into the master of the place. « I often struggle to produce something simple with just a few elements – this track is the first time I succeeded. »

Isolat is a smooth and psychedelic sci-fi trip, unexpected and always moving forward « I imagined a little robot lost in a city suburb, wondering what he was doing there. Mood is kinda Spike Jonze’s ‘’Da Funk’’ but with a robot ».

The EP closes in a very noir scene, heavy rain, melancholia and cold blooded crimes : Déjeuner Sous l’Herbe won’t let you rest in peace. « This track, my oldest on this EP, was made in 2014. I’m still really into the solo in the end ».  

The artwork is designed and imagined by Belgrade-based artist and producer Stevie Whisper, aka the hands behind Yes and Mystic Stylez.
The record will be released as a ziplock package that includes a USB stick with the WAV files and exclusive club remixes + a limited edition poster + some cool stickers.

Releasing Jon Beige since his earliest work, Global Warming Records is run by french producer and talent seeker Malcolm, who imagines and shapes each project hand in hand with his artists. Friendly Surveillance will be the label’s 12th release.

Artist: Niko Marks
Title: No Fairy Tale Love
Label:  U2XProductions
Format: Digital
Release date: OUT NOW
Purchase: https://nikomarks.bandcamp.com/album/no-fairy

This release was recorded during the covid19 crisis as a showing of true endurance to complete an idea no matter what. Some of the vocal tracks were recorded virtually which felt bit strange at first but worked out in the end. The Ep starts with the title track, “No Fairy” which is an upbeat, piano driven, instrumental. Next up is a remix of the track that follows called, “Carry Me” which is mostly driven by piano stabs and synths. Track 3 is a mellow tempo, vocal house jam which feature the vocal talents of, Trina Williams. The Ep moves along through tracks 4 & 5 with two mixes that feature vocals by Eva Soul.

PREMIERE #1129 | Niko Marks - No Fairy Tale Love (Cheerios Mix) [U2XProductions] 2020

Chest pulsing quickly, she inhaled in short bursts, trying to regulate her breathing. Anxiety was slowly creeping in but she tried her best to keep it at bay, focusing her attention on a spot on the ceiling. The temperature was obscene, unbearable almost; the open window offering very little respite. After a while she began to succumb to the reality that she would be twisting and turning all night long, sleep was off the menu. 

Stepping up for the next release on Barcelona-based Playground Records comes from Ukrainian artist ID_UA, a two-tracker backed up by two hypnotic remixes. Sticky, ritualistic rhythms are present from the off, joined by sharp synths, acid touches and powerful basslines, while our pick, a remix from Disco Halal and Inside Out producer Kincaid, brings sparse tripped-out drums and modulated vocal snippets.
