Joel, Jeremy, Alican, and Antonio are pilots. The four Tegel Boys. The flight is fancy and it’s a foolhardy insistence that a parallel world still exists. First-class dreams, tacky and louche, vinyl seats, sticky cocktails, giddy highs, and lusty stomp. Polymath rock ‘n’ roll electronics that work a little less obviously, but feel a whole lot better. The group came together to bring you there.
The Tegel Boys make modern disco body music, in- flight acid house, airport-blues-boogie, hi-fi dada-rap for those tuned-in psychic travelers. A locomotive and leaden groove onboard, a wink to the frequent flyers, a fountain of sample-delic digger knowledge and circus hijinks spill out on the active runway where the boys navigate it to cruising altitude. 
They are an amalgamation of talent bubbling forth from the Berlin underground channeling parallel lives in NYC-LoftManchester-
Hacienda-Southside-Philly- Berghain-Berlin-Konono-Kinshasa-Acid-Istanbul and every other boogie-scorched molecule of human hip- shake. Obstinate, modern, deeply soulful and playful dance music from the family.

Half Electric ft. Marvin Jam [Original] is a chunky, stomping, elastic, acid-disco, peak time slow burner, a hefty slab of relentless boogie built around a mysterious and unforgettable classic-rock guitar figure, whiplash cowbells, and a hungry 303 line snaking its way into the mix,
a track aimed directly at the hips. Just as this throb is frothing over, things kick into a streamlined, disco pulse, the saxophone honk joins, and vocalist Marvin Jam intones a scorching soul-blues lament, a glorious build off into the horizon. 
On remix duties is Tirana, Albania-based Uj Pa Gaz, a talented live-electronic musician in his own right with releases on Tici-Taci, Heimlich, Esthetique and more, who goes right for the melodic core of the track,
dropping a Chemical Brothers friendly big broken beat over a perfect marriage of blissed-out synth figures and sunrise arpeggio-pulse, a steady chug bringing the sexy sax back in play. A
monstrous build brings Marvin’s vocals back and it's an all-out timeless body-ecstacy bounce.

Tegel Boys - Half Electric Ft. Marvin Jam (Uj Pa Gaz Remix) <Gouranga Premiere>

In the vibrant summer of 1984, the sun beat down on the picturesque streets of Bologna, Italy. It was a day like any other, except that the world of music was about to witness a serendipitous encounter that would change the course of Italo dance history.

Claudio Cecchetto, a renowned Italo dance producer and DJ legend, was on his way to Rome for a crucial meeting with a record label executive. As he drove through the charming streets of Bologna, the city's energy seemed to beckon him, urging him to pause for just a moment.

He decided to stop by a local café, drawn by the aroma of freshly brewed espresso and the sound of Italian chatter. As he sipped his coffee, a man with a vibrant aura caught his attention. This man was Oderso Rubino, a well-known figure in the Italian music scene and the founder of Italian Records.

Claudio couldn't help but introduce himself to Oderso, who, in turn, recognized the famous DJ instantly. Their conversation flowed effortlessly, fueled by their shared passion for music. Oderso mentioned that he was on his way to a club where a talented band called Gaz Nevada was performing that night.

Excitement filled Claudio's veins as he realized the potential of this opportunity. He shared his vision for a new Italo dance track he had been working on called 'People From Ibiza' something fresh and exciting that could light up the dance floors. Oderso's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, and he asked Claudio if he had a demo of the song.

Claudio nodded and reached into his bag to retrieve a cassette tape. This was the original demo, a treasure he had been carrying with him, unsure of where destiny would lead him. With a smile, he handed it to Oderso.

The two music enthusiasts made their way to the club where Gaz Nevada was performing live. The atmosphere was electric, and the dance floor pulsed with energy. Gaz Nevada took the stage, and as the crowd swayed to their rhythm, Oderso approached the band with Claudio's demo.

Gaz Nevada agreed to give it a listen during their break. As the demo played, the pulsating beats and infectious melodies filled the room. It was as if Claudio's music had captured the very essence of that moment, blending seamlessly with the euphoria of the crowd.

As the sun began to rise over Bologna, the city still reverberated with the echoes of the electrifying performance of Claudio Cecchetto's demo by Gaz Nevada the previous night. The morning after this historic encounter promised even more excitement and inspiration.

Claudio Cecchetto had spent the night supervising the recording of the demo, alongside the talented vocalist Sandy Marton. The chemistry between the two artists was undeniable, and their shared passion for music fueled their creative energies.

In the studio, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. Claudio, Sandy, and the members of Gaz Nevada were ready to breathe life into the masterpiece they had discovered. The song was born right there, in the heart of Italy, a tribute to the vibrant spirit of the island of Ibiza.

As the recording session progressed, the song "People From Ibiza" began to take shape. Claudio's deft production skills brought out the best in Sandy's powerful vocals, while Gaz Nevada added their signature touch with electrifying instrumentals.

This is the original tape of the forgotten initial version, recovered and restored by Italo Disco's collector and aficionado  Craxi Disco.

The beach was a beautiful place of peace and paradise. In the sky above the birds cruised casually on the breeze. They looked down upon those who baked in the light of the sun below. The golden sand flickered in the glow of the warm afternoon and the gentle ripple of water was the only sound to be heard. The island was a paradse, a spectacular place of beauty and mystique. It would become their sanctuary and soon life would begin. 

Our friends at Les Yeux Orange have recently started their own label. Following the success of their first release which came from WAV Fuzz they have now announced a new EP from n.stal.

Ambiance is a fast rising newcomer who is welcomed back on Mexican label Duro with another fantastic EP that includes remixes from Midnight Magic and Club Duro.

Ambiance is a project from a Nicaraguan artist living in Los Angeles. Surrounded by booty bass and Cuban music while growing up in Miami, he has a love of electro and freestyle. In the past he toured as a saxophone player, and brings all these eccentric qualities to his live shows and fascinating recorded music.

Opener ‘Censurados’ is a charming post-wave body music masterpiece. With lyrics that allude to post-punk’s affinity to politics and somber disappointment, it is a joyful musical arrangement of angsty guitars and cosmic synths married to an industrial disco beat.

Flipping the original, Brooklyn’s Midnight Magic serve up a perfect Italo sounding remix with a squelchy bassline and lively synths that ooze colour.

The brilliant ‘Hombre Araña’ is the next original and has frenetic EBM bass, retro string melodies and roaring, sepulchral voices which bring intensity to the dance floor. The Club Duro mix is a shimmering track with rugged bass and echoing vocals, it’s unusual and absorbing with great effects.

Last of all is a delicious dub mix of ‘Censurados’ that focusses on wet claps and tooting arps which keep on ramping up the energy levels throughout.

This is an EP that brims with post disco invention and excellent analogue sounds.
