‘A Snowstorm in The Tropics’ is Timothy J. Fairplay’s first album since 2017’s ‘Where Is The Champion?’ and the first release on his new label Dungeon Module. Made up partly of tracks popular in Timothy’s recent streamed live performances, but which have never seen full release, and completely new unheard material. Like much of Timothy’s work, it is a mix of Electro, proto-Techno, wave-y Italo and Cosmic Music recorded using only hardware from his studio in a warehouse somewhere in North London. The title track ‘A Snowstorm in The Tropics’ meanders through snow fog Berlin School melodies pinned down by a huge Dub Techno kick. ‘Fish Island Emotion’ is like a lost 80’s Italian House classic. ‘Ecstasy Nausea’ features a return to the deep wrong sample-rate voice Timothy used on the infamous ’Cleopatra Loves The Acid’.

Released 2nd April 2021.

A Snowstorm In The Tropics

Timothy J. Fairplay - A Snowstorm In The Tropics (Album Clips)

The shaman uses ceremonies to transform fear and guide others through their own transitions. In ceremonies we learn to be present with the direct experience of fear, even when we want to avoid it.

Sound has long been known to have deep therapeutic qualities. The main element of healing music is the root sound. The focus on one note brings the listener to the present. It is grounding and can induce a higher state of consciousness. Combine that with dancing and you are now moving the energy, freeing your body from stuck emotions.

This is the purpose of this album. These are the tools for the modern shaman.

PREMIERE : Tadan - Initiation (Tassilo Vanhöfen Sativa Remix)

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/sordid-sound-system
Track:  Beginning To See The Dub
Label: https://soundcloud.com/hoga-nord-rekords
Format: 7" Vinyl, Digital, EP
Release date: 30/8/21
Purchase: https://hoganordrekords.bandcamp.com/album/hnr041-escape-temps-au-revoir-beginning-to-see-the-dub

Stuart Evans, aka Sordid Sound System is one of the founders of The Green Door Studio, a not for profit, analogue recording studio in Glasgow which emerged from an increasing disillusionment with the modern ways of music production. His sound holds outsider qualities, being everything but generic and predictable, mixing dub with movie soundtracks in the tradition of Carpenter and Italian likes.
On this 7” released on Höga Nord Rekords, SSS deconstructs and rebuilds music in an imaginative style, pairing tribe-ritual “back to ape”-beats with synthesized cosmic harmonies. In a way, we are enjoying straight up dub here but this record is also a display of the vivid and creative Glasgow scene centred round “The Green Door Studio” and record labels like “Invisible, Inc.” where krautrock and 80’s/90’s electronic music is part of the foundation. Boundless joy for every girl and boy!

“Dancefloor Memories” is a new compilation, a love letter to the dancefloor, released on the Swiss label Proxima. Its focus is on the epiphanies lived on a dancefloor and translated through 10 tracks + 1 bonus track. 
This compilation is curated by Proxima co-founders Audrey Danza and Nicolas Oggier, also representing Motel Campo. 
The dancefloor, place of expression, of life, but also real catalyst of memories. We measure all that we built there in the sweat, the brushing of bodies, and the music which transported us: a memory. These key moments, absolutely separate, touching ecstasy or epiphany, are the stories told through “Dancefloor Memories”. Drawing their energy from these moments of unprecedented intensity, those tracks have been produced by artists who have delivered their own interpretation of a strong moment on the dancefloor.
10 tracks including a psychedelic, bewitching and undeniably gripping vision (Trent, Eva Geist), a punchy and percussive, kaleidoscopic and colorful celebration of the dancefloor (Powder, Castro), a futuristic and electro-cataclysmic perception (Neu Verboten, Nicola Kazimir), as well as a melancholic journey (BSS, Belia Winnewisser, NVST) and an introspective vision (Epsilove).
In this compilation, we find regulars Cocktail d'Amore DJs, Trent and Powder but also Castro from the Berlin record-store Sound Metaphors, cutting-edge artists from the Swiss underground scene: Neu Verboten, Belia Winnewisser, Nicola Kazimir or NVST, the Paris-based producer Epsilove, Dutch producer and Dekmantel regular BSS (Beesmunt Soundsystem), and the Italian composer, synthesist and sound designer Eva Geist. The bonus track consists of a remix of Neu Verboten's track by Proxima's co-founder and Motel Campo resident dj Audrey Danza.

PREMIERE | Eva Geist - The Evil Eye [Proxima] 2021

Pho Bho's 6th release, Inverted Echoes, is a various artist blending different club’s shades.

Nero Zang open the ep with a slow emotional lysergic journey followed up by Oblako Maranta, the new project composed by A-Tweed and Radial Gaze, with a tribal triplets flow scanned by edgy synth, literally a peak time fire gem.
Pletnev close the A side with a trippy electro sequence marked by his voice.

Turn the vinyl to listen Matteo Coffetti in search of a new galaxy, planets are connected to each other through glitchy synths, Camboja draw us a dark scenario with twitchy screaming coming from who?
Closing the various is Hassan Abou Alam the Egyptian emergent artist with triggered voices floating on fattybass.

Premiere: BSS - Mirandabad [Proxima]

On the floor the outside world no longer mattered; only the soundwaves that controlled the body, the freedom the space offered and the ways in which these experiences could expand the mind. Those memories never left you, etched firmly into your brain forever. They helped you through the working week, through the trials and tribulations of daily life, for these were the moments where you could truly be you, without judgment and without expectation.

Proxima is the brainchild of Swiss DJ Audrey Danza and Nicolas Oggier, the director of Swiss club Motel Campo, where Audrey has been resident for three years. Founded in 2020, the label is focused on vinyl reissues of forgotten gems in the realms of Italo Disco, new beat and experimental, but for the first time they're moving into the world of digital for a new compilation that is part of a broader project of podcasts dedicated to the dance floor, which will be broadcast on Swiss national radio at the end of the year. 

For 'Dancefloor Memories', 10 artists have been enlisted to create original pieces of music, which will each be accompanied by them recounting their experience of an epiphany in the dance. Artists featured include Powder, Eva Geist, BSS, Epsilove, NVST and many more, with our pick from Neu Verboten getting a special digital remix from Audrey too.

PREMIERE⚡Tangering Dream - All Of A Dither (Etbonz Edit)

When referring to Scape One, its obligatory to recognize that his work is wholeheartedly visionary. Ominous bass lines, warped bleeps, and hiccup like high hats combined with perfectly harmonized chords and melodies form a groundbreaking type of electro sound very atypical to the trends. Believe In Records as a division of MixCult Records features second release with an experimental assertion full of retro influences coalesced with the sounds of the future, seemingly responding to one another's frequencies in perfect congruence.

The high demanding collectors cannot miss this release.

The second strike of Leipzig’s new electro offshoot sets Friedrich Ernst on the offensive. With these four new tracks he progressed his sound signature from a playful but reflected 8bit world soundtrack on SELF001 to a firm and gritty b-boy attitude. With SELF002 the do-it-yourself label team of DJ Unisex and Friedrich Ernst back up nothing less than their label mission: "We believe in the human mind as a self-learning system" – and it has the basement dance in the eye. 
Classic electro otakus will parté about the succinct elements that fits each other seamlessly on Class Beat while the groove remains alert and phantasmagoric.
Back 2 The Ol_ Skool invites two breakdance crews to battle out who owns the floor: the pale electro robot boys on the left and the hoover sound loving UK hardcore girls on the right.
Wildstyle is the living proof that a tight 808 groove still smashes especially hard when complimented with a proper breakbeat. Best played loud and from vinyl.
The last bit of the whole enchilada is almost tranquilizing until you realise how far your stone rolled already. Rhythm Control is a crowd pleaser with endless qualities.
Collaboration partner Dominik Widmann delivers the stunning artwork again for their ongoing conceptual series with his acrylic paintings. Included as A2 inlay print in every record.
