The sun flooded through the open curtains, waking him prematurely. She wasn't there again, had already left for some other important commitment or unexplainable appointment. If pressed, he struggled to define their relationship; he'd put too much time into deciphering it that now he preferred to accept it for what it was. Not that he was any closer to understanding that either...

Almost a year ago Moisk, a duo made up of Pletnev aka Ponty Mython and Fourmï Rouz, released their debut foray on Dutch label I Lost My Poncho In Istanbul. Now they’re returning for another excursion, this time inviting you to take a ride on the Pleasure Express, a fresh new imprint springing up from Belgium. Titled 'Melancholic Raver', the EP once again showcases the pair's love of hypnotic rhythms and breakbeat patterns, matching these with acid lines and otherworldly atmospheres.

PREMIERE: Moisk - Differential Equations [Pleasure Express]

Hivern Discs' regulars Iro Aka are set to release 'Ametrine Horizon'. The compilation of tracks made between the beginning of 2019 and mid-2021 are inspired by the landscape of Maresme and conceived by the conjunction of the peacefulness of nature and dancefloor sensations. Produced at Premia de Mar, Catalonia, we've the pleasure of airing the release's title track in full. TIP!

All those creatures, standing there, making time. Fury eyes, golden dust on artificial fog. Dancing on glass, repetitive poems, looping long after the last loop looped away. Oriental acid, frenzied samples, low hanging film noir suspense. This is DALO. Or not. She is many. Dry maniac downbeat is her craft. Or dark-ish pop-not-pop. There is dub, trance, techno, too. She is known for releases on labels like ESP Institute, WARNING, or Tresor. She is part of bands like INIT. She played them all, those clubs, that matter, and those that matter more. Live. Alone. As an artist. With a band. Here she comes with her first album. On the R.i.O. sphere. Her homebase. A trusted zone for experimentation. She brings “Duster”. Seven tunes twisted in different dreams. Fast, slow, veiled, enchanted, haunting trenchant. She sings. These songs. To dance. For a different, stripped-back trance. DALO. Her record longs for a stage. Exporting grace, face to face. A work like a mirror. Hypnotizing. A psychedelic portrait of a performer. Nuanced industrial veils ceremonial journey music. Claps, Jungle. Desolate vocal snippets. A whirlwind of words. All those chords, hanging there, kick drum time. Fury eyes, golden horns amid acid fog. Dancing on glass, cyclic synth-lines. DALO. Duster. A-round-and-a-around. Circulating the ritual.
