German-born but Austria-based Jorkes is on a great run of form right now. The Freeride Millenium label head is an icon of the queer scene whose music always highlights the importance of the dance floor as a place of liberation. She is a resident at Stuttgart's Romantica, conceived the brilliant IMPACT compilation series on Freeride Millenium and always cooks up fresh and emotive club tracks that fuse house, disco and techno.

This new remix is part of an EP by Super Drama that also features remixes by Tomas Jef and Grace Sands. Jorkes's remix is a standout, though, with taught, pinging kick drums making for a groove full of swing. Coarse hi hats up top and sinewy synths make for a steely but steamy vibe with wordless vocal coos and fizzing pads all intensifying as the track unfolds. It's a humid and atmospheric track that eventually brings rays of hope and light thanks to some bright chords later on.

Jorkes shows off another superb side to her sound with this fresh remix.

JMNTK (Jorkes XTC Chamber Remix)

PREMIERE : Super Drama - JMNTK (Jorkes XTC Chamber Remix)

Sweat dripped down her face and her hair stuck to her forehead, she tried to catch her breath but couldn't find the air. Someone was hot on her tail, she could feel them closing in on her but there wasn't a moment she could look over her shoulder to check, she had to keep up the pace. Her arms felt weak, her legs and body tired but she had to put that out of mind and focus on getting as far away as possible - if she stopped, they'd catch her.

Youth marks the debut EP from British producer Larmour. Lisbon & Amsterdam imprint Karakter have had this one in the works for some time and now it's finally seeing the light of day. Driven by an interest in the relationship between electronic music and art and a mission 'to explore points of convergence and reinterpret his experiences through his unique lens', Larmour blends 80s-inspired synths, powerful rhythms and emotive wavey melodies, and brings on board Luca Draccar and Mindbender to create their own interpretations.

PREMIERE: Larmour - Run [Karakter]

PREMIERE – Fantastic Twins & Sascha Funke – Junk Good Baby No (Hard Fist)

Starting the year with our VA series “Oddness” loaded with more weirdness and rarities. For Volume III we have on board a bunch of new and outstanding artists such as: Nick Hanzo & das molekuel, JGR, Ruksby, Second Gate and Ambrosia.

With “das molekuel” Belly Dance Services mastermind Nick Hanzo and his partner Geraldine have the goal to let molecules sparkle through electrifying music. Their new track 'Blaetterwald' is like a leave that gently starts to dance through marvelous Indie Dance lands, followed by gentle pirouettes until finally turning into wind like energy that never stops moving.

JGR (Julián García-Reyes) makes his Bonkers debut with 'Awaken'. The Chilean producer and DJ based in Madrid brings us a track that mixes elements ranging from new wave to electro, combined with nostalgic melodies that recall musical landscapes from the second half of the 80's.

Rising producer from Moscow Ruksby presents 'Numeros' it will fill you with a signature groove, a little dark, but not evil, at medium speeds, with a pinch of brutality and notes of decadence.

Inspired by the heat of the Mexican desert, barb wire and rusted walls, Second Gate delivers 'Frontera' his artistic vision of a hostile environment through synth stabs, powerful basslines and a creeping ambiance made out of live samples and granular synthesis. This one’s an EBM Monster designed to bring chaotic energy and a psychedelic feel to any dance floor it is played in.

Closing the VA, rising from the Pacific of Mexico, Ambrosia is the artistic name of Alexis Ramírez, an electronic music artist from Puerto Vallarta. He delivers 'Into Your Soul' with a dark touch and a hypnotic sequence, with flashes of melancholic overtones, ideal for opening the dance floor, with this track we conclude our third edition of Oddness.

Enjoy the trip!

Fabio Me Llaman Soltero kicks off 2023 with a release that condenses his sound and gives way to what will be his new stage name "Riveiby" with a more aggressive and raw sound (always with champagne and suntan lotion on the side), native Colombian vocals, lowered percussion, use of Guatemalan and Mexican indigenous instruments, lots of Moog and grey humour. Includes 4 tracks and two remixes by masters Balam from Argentina and Ukrainian Id Ua. An Ep with a special dedication to his trip to Mexico and Colombia in the recently finished 2022.

A call from Turkey and the world to all music enthusiasts!

On February 6, 2023 Turkey and Syria were struck by two massive earthquakes (7,7 - 7,6 on the richter scale) in one day. The severity of the earthquake, the size of the area, the demographic and the large number of people being caught unprepared, combined with the harsh weather conditions, dramatically heightened the effects of this disaster. Since then a lot of local and global efforts have been put together to gather and transfer urgent help to the area, however these efforts are unfortunately inadequate in the face of the size of this catastrophic event. In a bid to help our country and its neighbours, Müstesna Records (TR) have decided to put together a relief compilation in collaboration with Ransom Note on their Dance Music From Planet Earth compilation label (UK).

As of now 48 artists from around the globe have contributed some of their beautiful work. The compilation will be released in two parts with the first part shared on Wednesday 1st March. If we all unite as music listeners, nightlife enthusiasts and all those in between, we will be stronger in size and strength.

Music brings us all together, regardless of our geographic location. We hope that everyone falling under this roof believes in sharing beautiful collective memories, as well as tragedies.

Please help us support the ones who believe that they are part of a global collective family so we can come together on better days…

The money raised from this campaign will be donated to birkirabiryuva.org/en/ (TR) and Molham Team (Syria).

🔊 https://youtu.be/47hesuty2c4

Undo's Factor City imprint celebrates 20 years on the dance floor with a compilation featuring 20 of the best songs from it’s catalogue. Twenty selected weapons from one of Spain's most-loved labels.

in the fall of 2003 Gabriel (Undo) and Victor (Vicknoise) pressed up some of his own music on a low-profile label inspired by some of the many small d.i.y labels that were on the forefront of the developments of electronic dance music. During these years the label has become a refuge as much as an open door vehicle driven by a saving Do It Yourself ethic and an unquenchable thirst for discovery. A low-key approach based, one based around friends and community, remains at the heart of Undo’s work with Factor City.

In Undo’s words “Its been an amazing ride, all an adventure. We came across all music industrie plagues but we survived, and now we're here. In a year which will have 2 special anniversary compilations and a few hot new releases”

The music as always is hard to define or label. From beautiful modular synth soundscapes, to sharp driven-synth melodies. From delicate and vaporouse electro to euphoric electronic rides. From darkness to sonic bliss. A lot of acid and a little bit of slow trance. From krautrock to techno and back. From 100 to 140 bpms. Nostalgic and futuristic. Emotive and mental. Music to dance and to explore.

“It was really hard to me to choose only 20 songs from our catalogue. It’s great to look back and hear so many tracks that I love. This is the first “best of” compilation we did in all these years. We always prefer to release new music and we will continue doing it”

In this compilation you’ll find tracks from Factor City affiliates and friends: Cabaret Nocturne, Cabizbajo, Cadee, Dawad, Gunce Aci, JackWasFaster, Lontano, Nhar, Sistema, Undo, Undo & Casiowaves, Undo & Vicknoise, Uranio Empobrecido and Vicknoise. And remixes by Credit 00, Daniel Maloso, Donato Dozzy, Ellen Allien, Fairmont, Jonathan Kusuma, Modular Project, Paul Kalkbrenner, Younger Than Me and Zombies In Miami. An excellent collection.

“I want to thank all the artists who have released with us in our almost 80 releases. Our graphic designers. Our mastering engineers. And all the djs who have played and charted our music and all the music lovers who have supported it all around the globe. Thanks for listening and thanks for dancing!”
