Kronikos Pt. 1 was released on Good Skills in summer of 2021 and was well received by weird electronica fans across the globe. Things really kicked off for Karolis after this. It’s time for world to hear the second part of this mysterious debut release, described by author as 'world news show, where each song represents a different story'. “Atomik Bomb” is a testament of Shkema’s German skills. Title of the track, written and produced in 2018, sounds a little risky considering nowadays geopolitical context, but rules are simple - you can’t take a lyric out of a track. Some serious bass line action here, you must check it out.
“Singapūras” is a tribute to the country Shkema has never been to. Massive flute solo, wonderful percussion section and a dream to go there one day. Disco Mortale (previously known as Daniel Monaco) delivered an Italian bass slapping boogie version of “Atomik Bomb”. Proper 80s vibe, perfect for a ride in Miami, driving a red
Testarossa. Last but not least in the saga of “Kronikos” is a refix from Mexican duo Theus Mago & Moisees. These guys know what they are doing, this track is perfect for times when dance floor needs some fresh energy.

Cosmic Terroir, a leavened beer with the label sounds, a little soaring, a little acid, like the music.

First, three cereals - rye, spelt and barley - for a yeast that rises, stretches and relaxes over a slow, psychedelic tempo. Then hops for a peppery note, a rhythmic, intoxicating spiciness. Finally, wild herbs, the secret aromatic touch of the magic potion.

On the QR code side, an album with the same adventurous, unbridled tones - to be listened to without moderation.

Based in Nancy, Brasserie de Clémery draws its inspiration from both German brewing traditions and the organoleptic revolution of the craft brewing movement. 

All their beers are brewed and produced on site, with an emphasis on human scale, quality and short supply chains. 

They see tradition as a fundamental foundation, and experimentation as a necessary pleasure. And it works: in April 2023, one of their beers was named best beer in the world!

The luxurious venue was busy with some of the most famous, pretty faces in the ecletic world of art. Red linen curtains hung atop the windows, concealing the darkness outside and blurring the lines between night and day. Candles flickered softly upon each table and guests talked in hushed voices and fancy masks. It was a somewhat strange affair, a distinctly erotic mood but with a poignant hint of sadness. Incense burned with a musky warmth and there was a stale scent which hung in the air. The party was alive with wrong'uns. 

Niv Ast is set to release a new EP on London based label Snap, Crackle & Pop - the longstanding party series has become a firm favourite in the capital. The EP features a remix from Mr TC, a fierce talent who has released previously on the likes of Optimo Music, Neubau and Hard Fist.

Odopt once defined their music as 'peak time bangers with a twist', and it's easy to grasp why. Their tracks have the kind of propulsive energy that can send any dancefloor into a frenzy, but the way they build them couldn't be further of the usual big room schematics. In their universe, the sounds are strange, the samples obscure and the structures unexpected. Risky music made to be felt, not thought. EBM if the E stood for experimental. A big part of this vision was cultivated at the Denis Simachev Bar in Moscow, a 'punk and kitschy' spot where Grisha and Ivan spent countless nights playing music, inviting friends to perform and testing all their new productions. The bar was, in their own words, 'the heart of a city'. The nucleus of their Moscow. Sadly, it closed its doors last April after 12 years. 'Sociopath EP' is a sort of sonic testament of the venue. Its three tracks seek to capture the spirit of a place that served as a huge inspiration for the Odopt's sound, and listening to them it's easy to understand what made it so special, even if one has never been there.

Kito shares with us the second album single Time Traveler featuring Cedric Gasaida (Azari & III voice, ….). This is the only time traveling tune of the album which originally appeared as vinyl only instrumental few years ago and finally found it’s home as beautiful song about one moment in time. Remix duties here are Kito homies : Cable Toy & Errortica.
Cable Toy is the most played artist among family line-ups of Lipelis, Mark Schedrin, Andy Butler/Hercules & Love-Affair and others, his every track is a hit and everything he touches is a dance floor bomb, he did amazing record for Low Budget Family and now he did peak-time banger for Kito.
On the flip (not literally but let’s say like that) is Errortica chilled version, Errortica is uprising talent from Saint P, TEST FM born & raised, Dekmantel festival 2021 participant and her first vinyl 12" record "Safely Stowed" EP is out in ocotober via Parisians finest Les Yeux Orange !
