‘Giving Up On’ is the latest offering from Nu-Disco/Funk duo EKKAH. Opening with a funky bassline and packed with harmonic vocals, all the while blending live percussion and groove sounds throughout ‘Giving Up On’ is undeniably a party starter of a record made for the dance floors and open air summer venues.

“Giving Up On is about reinforcing the importance of carrying on. Life throws dark times, but positive things can come from these experiences. We only ever have the now - the future is a rolling mystery” - Ekkah

Having grown up together, the duo bonded over a mutual love of music and soon started writing their own material. They released their debut track ‘Last Chance To Dance’, followed by ‘Small Talk’ and ‘What’s Up’ (collaboration with U.S. producer Dam-Funk), making their mark as one of the most unique, fresh and authentic female bands around. Their unique ability to each play multiple instruments has won them fans across the musical spectrum.

Ekkah - Giving Up On (Future Disco)

INCOMING : Ekkah - Giving Up On (Alan Dixon Instrumental Remix) #FutureDisco

@sparrowandbarbossa deliver a dancefloor focused and strikingly elegant remix of @fatoumata-diawara-official's - Nterini on @moblack-records. 

The duo of Swiss Bryan Coletta and Uruguayan Emiliano Haberli break down Diawara's masterpiece, piquing its brokenness to recreate an experience from a new perspective, maintaining focus on its gripping Bambara lyrics, the timelessness of traditional African percussion, versatility of tribal rhythms and the ubiquity of migration not only in the composer's narrative but in a global context.

Buy: https://www.beatport.com/release/beachfires/3011850
Release Date : 2020-06-30

For the seven Hosted release, Melokolektiv and Konvex & the Shadow are finally back on track with "Beachfires", offering an attractive, ear-catching mixture of trancy melodic riffs, sustained sub-bass notes, a breakbeat drum pattern, and suitably psychedelic electronic effects. "Beachfire" is built around an epic breakdown inspired by UK electronic scene.
Johannes Albert completes the ep with a trancy reinterpretation inspired by the 90's electronic classics.
It's definitely a dancefloor killer notably with the bass-arp going all track long.

PREMIERE : Melokolektiv & Konvex & The Shadow - Beachfires  (Original Mix)  [Hosted]

The https://soundcloud.com/new_world is upon us once again. It has been seven years already, since Markus Gebauer debuted on Riotvan under the guise of his New World moniker. That's quite a while in the realm of those sometimes short-term goings-on of clubculture. Yet, Gebauer kept himself busy meanwhile with his alter ego Interviews, reviving the erstwhile identity now that times are calling for a New World more than ever. And that's both, very generally speaking and particularly regarding his slick and classy approach to Neo-Disco-affairs. Interestingly, the lion's share of this EP had been laid down already five years ago, in an ahead of the curve nature that it couldn't sound more up to date right now in 2020. 

Take opener "Glances" for example. Suspense-packed arpeggio meets a groove-laden bass, gets kissed by some smooth melodies and far-out pads and evokes an immense open-air-hymn potential. Here's a little advance notice: that tune might not leave your head for the whole rest of the summer. "Enough!" in its seductive nonchalance seems to be cut from the same cloth. Another Indie-Disco sureshot filtered through shades-lenses. But "Enough!" - seriously? The hereby summoned feelgood-vibe will surely leave you wanting more. And more you shall get. "Fade Out" opens up with a rather straight beat-pattern, but again, the synth-arrangements, the melodies and harmonies are pure bliss. And then there is "Poéme", that Frankophile floor-enchantment, shaped out in sophistication and elegance, throwing in some subtle Depeche Mode-references and taking the French leave as one of the strongest clubtracks in this batch. Closing things up is https://soundcloud.com/the-juan-maclean, giving "Enough!" a makeover that aims for the dancefloor as much as, let's say the hammock, infusing both, an irresistible groove and a laid back, almost Dub-like attitude.

New World - Fade Out (Snippet)

There is definitely something "afro" inspired about this latest EP from Puma & The Dolphin, certainly in comparison to pretty much everything else I've ever heard from him, which includes a great EP on Canadian imprint Chambre Noir and some stellar inclusions on every one of Dj soFa's highly respected "Elsewhere" compilations.

I'm told that while immersed in domestic life during lockdown in Sofia, Bulgaria, the music evolved to take in what was happening at home and saw the inclusion of toy instruments, his own drum playing, the voices of his children playing and even the family parrots whistling and squawking in the background. These random ambient insertions when seen in the context of the hypnotic and percussive rhythms and timbres throughout are oddly reminiscent of the late, great Francis Bebey who, although culturally and physically a million miles removed, was also known for recording much of his work at home and who also featured the voices of his children playing.

In fact, it is as much the music's playfulness and simplicity that give the pieces their distinctive character, at times echoing the repetition and mesmerism of Raymond Scott's "Soothing Sounds For Baby" series. Yet, childrens' music this is not. There is a mysticism and depth on one hand and a willingness to experiment on the other that reminds me of pioneering experimentalist K. Leimer's early Eno-inspired tape outings as well (see "Supermarket" for example).

I asked Puma & The Dolphin's Nikko Names if he could share the story behind how these six tracks came together. He had this to say:

"This collection of pieces were created during a monotone period of my life which I have overlaid with colour: a time in which I surrender to the beauty of home life - watching my kids play, feeding the birds - entwining these sounds of my surroundings amongst the rhythmic layers of these pieces. Playing the drums to remind us of the next circle dance for four. There is something mystic to travel only in your head; a shamanic trip inside the body with no concepts and answers."

PREMIERE – Tendts – Spirit (T.A.F. Recordings)

There was a darkness which hung thick in the air as he approached the old church on the hillside. He looked back down at the footpath upon which he had tread several miles in search of this ancient ruin by which he hoped would lead to salvation. His name was Steve. It had always been as such and he hoped that as he entered the pearly gates of heaven that it would remain as such. As he opened the creaky old door to the monastery he prepared to leave this earth for good, all its ungodly mess. 

Throne Of Blood have been good friends of Ransom Note for many years and they release some killer music. Their output and consistency has been phenomenal, championing alternative electronic and dance music which has then gone on to receive support from wide sectors of the community. The latest is no exception, a collection of remixes of a track simply titled "Steve" by which Vito & Druzzi are contributors.

PREMIERE: LaGaSta - Steve (Vito & Druzzi Remix)[Throne of Blood]

Unknown and explored, the vast structure was shrouded in mystery, still waiting to be discovered and understood. Icy and cold, it stretched to places one could not begin to imagine, holding secrets that here on solid ground we still no nothing about. 

Following a string of short transmissions on Tanzbar and Curle, Gent-based producer Thomas Neyens AKA Far Out Radio Systems asks listeners to tune in for his first lengthy broadcast, his debut album On Boolean Plains, released via SoHaSo. Harking back to the hey days of Warp and Skam, the 12 tracks see Neyens reshape those influences into his own unique collection of intricate melodies and distorted beats, touching on strains of ambient, breakbeat, bleep techno and percussive house.
