The cirle is now complete. Well.. maybe because Never Say The Last One. Troniq left the Prague city life and now he's exploring ambient journeys under his real name Martin Kuška while for the dance stuff he reserved the new Goobye Mirage nick.

Two melancholic tracks were left behind unreleased and here they come as a first release on COLUMBO RECORDS. Polished and glamorised for the hazy dance floors, boosted by stunning remixes of Etbonz and Imre Kiss.

DIGITAL BONUS: Two more mixes from Imre Kiss!

PREMIERE | Zilly - 34 Juillet [Technommunism] 2021

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/velo303
Track: Mary's MVP
Label: Bandcamp Exclusive
Format: Digital, EP
Release date: 23/9/21

Velo 303 is a new collaboration focussed on putting out dance floor tracks inspired by the warehouses and riverbanks of East London. The London-based duo (made up by Threads Radio & Fall UP resident Mad'Ouk and Bamily's Kudo Sol) is about to drop their first self released EP. Despite not much known about this new project, the music is already picking up the attention of international media outlets.
The Inspirations behind the music arise from free party culture in the UK - especially Cosmic Roots Festival. Floating through minimal, electro, breakbeat, wonky techno, and garage the sound of Velo 303 is as rumbling as the name might suggest. Fans of Overmono, Skee Mask, Objekt, Thoma Bulwer & N-Gynn will definitely dig this!

PREMIERE | Velo 303 - Mary's MVP [Bandcamp Exclusive] 2021

Proud to announce the first vinyl-only release of Rythmē, the Turin queer party made with the effort of all of his lovers and dancers. The A-side opens with “Tomorrowasteland”, an unsolved question about the dancefloor of tomorrow – a dystopic stomper with ready-made and punk attitude. Hard Ton served a luscious waterfall of synths on their original take of Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo’s song while Matteo Coffetti “Kelakitun’s Pipe” explore an exotic imaginary with an Indian touch. Last but not least, an original track of Barabbah closes this heavyweight vinyl with a sunny and techy bumper. And yes, inside the sleeve there’s also a download code for a Rythmē exclusive and digital only edit…

Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo / ( r ) - The Side Effects of Self Indulgence (Hard Ton rmx)
is written by Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo and performed with Daniele Pagliero. Recorded by Paul Beauchamp and mixed by Hard Ton

PREMIERE : Marco Pizzini - Tomorrowasteland

The latest Chubby! Records release is certain to be a highlight of 2021 with a who's who tracklist of some of the best names in house and techno. Chubby! spent a lot of time and effort over the past 18 months curating and collecting the type of quality that is worthy to be side by side on one release with so many fantastic names. Each artist seeming to out due each other, it's impossible to pick a favorite on this compilation let alone whether you like the original or remix version better. The double vinyl is laid out nicely with two tracks a side for a grand total of 8.
Each side having an original track and then a remix by another.

Aleqs Notal offers the first piece with a fantastic opener titled ' Planetary Insanity'. His ultra-smooth deep Detroit styled techno lays the foundation for what's to come. For remix duties, we are pleased to have the in-demand producer Life Recorder making his debut on the label. He turns the more streamlined version into a euphoric and optimistic dance floor gem.

Next, we move to the B side with 'Agonias' by the highly-touted Jose Rico. You can always expect some lively and lovely tribal business on a Jose Rico track and here is no exception. The melody is unique and classy and it stays right in the sweet spot to your enjoyment. We couldn't think of any producer better to compliment Jose Rico then the amazing Leonid.
He shoots for a more stripped-down version honing in on the chords and tribalness with great success. Deep is an understatement !

Pick up the 2nd vinyl from this double-pack and place the needle on side C for one of Australia's most respected artists, Ewan Jansen. 'Basilica' is late night groover of the pack. Perhaps the most house sounding here also, it rides a sublime Detroit-esque vibe that is undeniable on and off the dancefloor. Paired up for the remix is veteran producer Nail. He turns up the funk and tech notch to 11, creating an atmospheric escape into the stratosphere.

Flip over for the final side and here we have the man behind Planisphere who had one of the hottest reissues last year, David Swatten. He brings us the most laid-back jam of this compilation in 'Wave Energy'. Crystalized melodies chime off waves of house bliss in this super clean eargasm. Legendary techno artist John Beltran, is the final name to make an appearance with his more upbeat ‘Chicago’ version. It's hard to pick which we like better as John adds his beautiful forte style to this remix. The time of the day might be the deciding factor on which you play out as both are pure beauties. Either one ends the night on an amazing high.

We are extremely confident this will be one of your most loved double packs of 2021!

Vol.4

PREMIERE : Jose Rico - Agonias (Leonid Remix)

Time had slipped through his fingers, he could barely recollect a moment of the last 12 hours. He’d fallen into another world and left reality behind him, his mind lost in the spaces in-between. Now he had to piece the fragments back together and find a way back to normality.

For the next instalment on Jason Peters’ Roam Recordings, Italian producers Giorgio Giri and Marco Lentano unite under their Mushrooms Project alias for a dose of hypnotic, downtempo cuts. True to their name, psychedelia is the dish of the day, with the duo serving up four tracks that match mind expanding electronics and analog instrumentation.

PREMIERE: Mushrooms Project - Dirty Dune [Roam Recordings]

Tongue

PREMIERE: Nico - Tongue [Behuá Icára]

These were the questions that he asked himself again and again. It were as if he was stuck in some sort of strange, wonderful loop in which little made sense but for the wonder of the four walls within which he was trapped. That was what it was really like to overthink - to be caught in a state of confusion and disarray, stuck ruminating of the weirdest and wildest fantasies unsure as to which might break the magnificence of the deep, dense cycle. For now he'd simply look from his window, gazing out at a world which carried on regardless...

Barcelona duo Sumluv are set to release a new EP, the pair have been reworked and reimagined by Otik, a special producer who has a unique capacity to deconstruct and rebuild material in a unique and innovative fashion. This latest reimagining is no exception and is due for release on Faneca Music.

PREMIERE: Sumluv - Overthink (Otik Remix)[Faneca]

There hadn’t been a winter like this in decades; everything and everyone had ground to a complete halt. It was the kind of cold you could feel in your bones, the kind that took your breath away as soon as you stepped outside. People daren’t leave their houses in fear of losing fingers and toes to frostbite, or worse still, freezing over completely. It left the streets and shops eerily empty, as though some strange spirit had swept through and claimed all that was living for themselves.

The brainchild of producer and musician F.M., the Froid Dub project originally came to life during the first lockdown, but it wasn’t until it became a joint effort that it took its final form. Enlisting the help of fellow musician Fa_Fane, with whom he also runs the DELODIO imprint, the pair set about marrying synthetic and organic textures; the results of which make up their new release ‘DUBS & BEATS…’. The EP riffs off their debut EP, ‘An Iceberg Cruising the Jamaican Coastline’, collecting eight new dub versions and bonus beats that take the original icy cuts and rhythmic collages into new realms.

PREMIERE: Froid Dub - Frozen Dub Sandwitch [DELODIO]
