Debut EP here from London-based Primrose on his own brand new label. He creates spellbinding, colourful electronic music that blends bouncy club focussed rhythms with other-worldly soundscapes. 'Foreverever' is the flip side to the title track 'Set My Heart on Fire' and moves into deeper 4/4 territory centering around a rapid-fire arp line and jolty syncopated claps, anchored down by a propulsive kick and a warm sub.

OS Premiere: Primrose - Foreverever [Primrose County]

"Of Time and Space" apre il primo Ep di esordio su Bolygo Records, label di Adwer, con una traccia carica di ritmi spezzati, synth taglienti e percussioni regolari che trasportano l'ascoltatore dentro le atmosfere dark create dalla dj ucraina.

Acting Of Sounds (incl. Adwer Remix)

Alisa Filatova-Of Time and Space-Bolygo Records [PREMIERE]

Drum computers, crispy basslines, tingeling pads, vocoders... sadness and beauty... These are the perfect words to talk about the music of Club Mayz.

The Belgian artist is an incredible creative boy : dj, producer, designer...

And for each of its projects, he draws all his inspiration from the 80s to create crazy and sensitive new things.

“Can’t Wait” is an electro hit with a strong bass rollin’ ARP. The 80s percussions, the leads & the vocoder give to the track a perfect Italo touch. It’s time to break the dancefloor !

“Gusto” is a beautiful ode to Italodisco and Life. The lead melody & the pads take the audience on a happy journey. Cosmic!

We are realy honoured to have the only one Mufti to remix this one. The wellknown Mexican artist bring to the original a darker touch, but always considering the Italo way.

Finally, we welcome our lovely Marcus Christiansen! The Swedish artist, supported by artist as Funk D Void, gives to “Can’t Wait” a perfect mixing between Cosmic Italo and Dark Italo ! Marcus proves once again that he has the sense of the dancefloor ! He will come soon on the owl label to reveal an amazing EP ! Stay Tuned !

PREMIERE : Club Mayz - Can't Wait (Mufti Remix)

It was the bond of bold friendship that brought these guys together - and of course a shared history of sub-genre juxtaposition and meshing. Both grew up on Punk, Rap, and of course the early days of Techno. »Still There« is their first EP together and thus of course their first for Live At Robert Johnson. It's a venture into the euphoric, psychedelic power of early Trance and Breaks mixed with the attitude and energy of EBM and Electro.

Starting with the moody slow beats of the title tune »Still There«, Y2C takes you on a journey to a faraway chill-out room in some dark yet warm and cozy cellar. Or is this place to be found in synth heaven? It could well be if you listen to those dreamy melodies. Melodies as beguiling as the song of the Sirens that seduced good old Ulysses.

Y2C pick up on that dreamy vibe but throw in that slight and subtle Trance-factor, taking up speed with »Romantic Squat«, dragging you into their very own romantic squat.

Next up is »Love Your Enemy« - oh yes, shouldn't we all? Icy claps with lots of reverb and a bass line draw you onto the dry ice flooded alluminum floor and there's no way back - especially when that strange break with that crazy sound makes you stop for a second and think, why did I stop dancing? Get back on the floor y'all!

The last track »Mairei« is indeed some kind of a lollapalooza ride, a very special ride. And no, it does not lull you to sleep because the beat created by Y2C here is a demanding one, a special which gets you going all over its eight and a half minutes. It's sheer bliss, you gotta believe it. --- need to change this part!

This is not a one-off novelty EP, it's a kinetic collaboration. Y2C is a force of nature, a force of RAVE/WAVE energy, with many more to come, a force to reckon with.

Mickus ir Stein Ego – draugai, kuriuos šiuo metu dažnai galima išgirsti halėje, saulei nusileidus. Bernų pažintis sena, taip pat susijusi su muzikiniais reikalais. Judviejų duetas prasidėjo atsitiktinai minėtoje halėje, kurioje ir atradome juos. Po pirmojo sėkmingo b2b, Mickus ir Stein Ego nusprendė toliau muziką dalintis grojant petis į petį. Garbanoti plaukai, garbanotos mintys, garbanota ir muzika. Įvairovės nestingantys kolegos supranta kaip palaikyti vakarėlį nuo pradžių iki galo. Paprastai aprėpti ir išdėstyti tai ką groja bičiuliai nėra taip lengva, tačiau išskiriant esmines detales, bendrą muzikinį skonį galima talpinti į šalto skambesio monotonija, pitch-down trancą bei electro-techno derinį persipinantį su klasikinio progresyvaus houso kūriniais.

Alena Vox is synonymous with Dark, Trippy and dynamic. Boom! We leave you this mixtape from the resident of Veneno and Xakhali.
In the neighborhood we know her as the "morrilla", but her name is Alejandra Contreras.
She show us for an innovative sound both in her live performances and in her mixes too, but always with a warm essence full of spatial aspects, synthesizers and arpeggiators.
Already with presentations in clubs like Sunday Sunday, Yu Yu Cine Club... great things await to Alena Vox. Luckily, today we can show you a part, press play!

Earlier last year Vito Roccoforte and Gabriel Andruzzi aka members of the era-defining NY post-punkers The Rapture emerged from their DFA/major label hangovers into a world of sonic wanderlust with their debut long-player ‘I Hear’ under their Mother Of Mars guise.

Emulating all that was good and great about the rhythm section of their previous incarnation but exploring corners all-new, on 'I Hear' they enlisted a third bandmate; Jaiko Suzuki, on vocals. The album ventured down different tributaries, journeying into psych, kosmische, avant-garde, fourth world and new age dreamscapes. The resulting album provided technicolour bleeps, drones, ethereal singing and a plethora of percussion interweave, like a fractal mosaic in harmonious sensorium.

Now on 'We Hear' the band mobilises rising producers, friends new and old, to remix the best tracks from the LP. First single, 'Through The’, is Natasha Bai’s magical touch, taking out into the morning light as the sun breaks over the horizon. Natasha’s sound is marked by her ambient-pop influences, transporting the listener through otherworldly universes.

First up Russia’s @natasha_bai takes 'Through The' out into the morning light as the sun breaks over the horizon. Natasha’s touch is marked by her ambient-pop influences, transporting the listener through otherworldly universes.

Next up is the amazing Mozambican producer and DJ Nandele (@nndle) with his new project Cntrl Alt Del (a collaboration between Nandele, Marco Dray and Roberto Chitsonso Jr.), going into full band wig-out mode on their take on 'Durga & Demon'. The project sees the three musicians and composers merge local traditional
Mozambican music - in particular, traditional music from Cabo Delgado - with techno and other electronic music genres. Nandele is a well-established figure in the Maputo music scene, being one of the most
innovative DJs and producers to come out of the southeast coast of Africa.

Then @borusiade’s interpretation of 'I Hear' - the LP's title track - disappears down electronic avenues of psychedelic wonderment, marked by their trademark sound, often dark and melodic, filled with piercing bass lines and immersive sonic vibrations.

Finally, Brooklyn-based Abby Echiverri (@echiverri) takes the tempo down a notch, evolving 'Matteruno's haunting vocals atop stuttered beats. A Drexciyan atmosphere seems to halt time for a short interim, releasing ethereal vocals, intertwined with distorted keys of analogue masterpiece.
