The school corridor was empty except for a few stray papers that had escaped from a locker and proceeded to float down the hall. The bell had rung a couple of minutes before and those loitering had since scarpered in fear of a scolding. All but one student, a small golden haired girl, who instead had hidden herself from view at the end of the corridor. A soft whimper left her lips as she hugged her knees tight into her chest. In her hands a scrunched up letter welcomed her to her new school. But she didn't feel welcome, she felt like an alien in this place. 

Two of Tel Aviv's most promising talents Niv Ast and Eliezer team up for their first joint release to inaugurate their new label, New Day Everyday, set up with Paris-based booker Daniel Weil. Collectively racking up previous releases on Ombra International, SC&P, Relish and Days Of Being Wild, this collaboration sees the duo blending distorted guitars, electronic rhythms and punk bass lines for four dance floor numbers.

The Untold Story of Del Fierro

PREMIERE: Niv Ast & Eliezer - Martians In Pluto [New Day Everyday]

Save this name: Braulio Renteria, a young Mexican artist, makes his official debut as a producer on the awe-inspiring project Sinchi Collective – a multifaceted music platform that includes a label, a DJ collective, an event promoter, a mix series and a blog. The Collective also established the Sinchi Foundation, which is a non-profit that upholds the UN’s declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and promotes the strength and beauty of indigenous cultures.

Regarding their third release, Altered States Vol. I is a various artists compilation that shows off the label’s broad array of sounds of producers from all over the world. The track we chose to premiere, ‘Venus’, is a “moody, heavyweight cut with punky attitude and cosmic keys”, the right elements “for a real trip”, according to the label’s description.

We asked “Braulitro” to say a few words about himself and his work: "My inspiration when creating tracks with this energy comes from my influences and experience in the DJ booth, my style is defined by many as dynamic, full of funny percussions and organic sounds, like guitars and wind instruments. I have always been passionate about music, especially the alternative rock, and science fiction movies, and that is exactly what I wanted to reflect on 'Venus', the energy of my DJ sets, my taste for music and an extra-terrestrial sensation as a sci-fi film". And he successfully did it!

Release-Date: 17.07.2020

Summer 18', two heartbroken buds find relief in music, psychedelics, and city palm trees. What started as a way to ease the grief of a heartbreak turned into a wildly mystic duo, where percussions, tropical rhythms and the use of synthesizers are the key to go into trance with their sound.

Depresión Tropical :( plays with negative feelings, transforms and celebrates them, where no matter how sad, lonely and desolate you feel, you will always end up dancing.

Teniente Castillo (ES) explores a seething and searing journey into a claustrophobic world and an obscured skyline, laced with rattlesnake percussions and atmospheric sounds.
