Alex Aguayo - Altered Speech

Introducing 'Stin Kypro En Pira' single by the talented Cypriot artist Structure Of Magic. At its core, the track is driven by a punchy kick that instantly draws you in. But what sets this release apart is its daring acid twist—a sonic transformation that is daring without ever feeling out of place. Whether you're a fan of indie dance, dark disco, or acid sounds, this release offers something special that blends genres with perfect balance.

PREMIERE: Structure Of Magic - Stin Kypro En Pira [Melody Lab]

For its forthcoming episode, the mighty Vilnius/Buenos Aires-based platform Quixotical Records opens its doors for the rising & shining French producer Zaratustra (SXDNS348) and his “Tribal Quest”, a six-track intricate EP featuring three outstanding originals and three out-of-the-box interpretations made with love by a true dream team of collaborators: None other than Balam (SXDNS048), A-Tweed (SXDNS222), and Panko (FREEDL051).

Hailing from Paris, France, Zaratustra has been having a busy 2023 so far by delivering well-received originals and remixes published on interesting labels such as Logia, Club Mackan, Enlace, and Cafe De Anatolia LAB, just to name a few. For his debut on Quixotical, he invites us to explore his endeavours throughout a mystical journey that encompasses nature, dance, and ancestry.

Premiered here, Balam’s take on “Sons Of The Amazon” is an ode to the danceable weirdness. Owner of a peculiar sonority that embodies complex percussive layers and rhythmic acid elements, the skilled Argentinean producer handed over exactly what was expected: A version full of, yeah… complex percussive layers and rhythmic acid elements. Peak-time material here, just saying!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://quixoticalrecords.bandcamp.com/

Alien Alien are respected producers Rodion and Hugosan. In the studio they fuse elements of techno, disco, electro to create a uniquely compelling and heady sound, something that is evidenced once again here across their two original cuts. ‘Secret Sabbah’ is an intense and direct cut that marries hypnotic intoned vocals with acidic synths and building drums & percussion to great effect.

A false calm blankets the grounds. The rear entry succumbs to the creeping dark as the wind extinguishes the dying light; the old gods reclaiming their fire. Beyond the pacing guards, senses dulled by the piercing air and warm drink, the creaking wood and subdued final breaths evade detection. As the lord delights in the sadistic pleasures that beckon his fate, a foreboding shadow-play of silhouettes shift along the paper screen. Careful footsteps build to a driven sprint and the unmistakable ring of an unsheathed blade. The shriek of the lord’s unwilling companion draws the guards, only to be greeted by the red that paints the room. 

The legendary Lyon-based label Hard Fist, known for their genre pushing output, have shared their latest 10-track compilation, the first digital release on the imprint since it's inception. Taking influence from all eras and all corners of the globe, the release is an eclectic mix of sound, grounded by a shared commitment to experimentalism. The compilation delights in skilfully transitioning the listener from jubilant italo-disco to desolate acid techno with very little notice. Our pick of the litter is Omar Joesoef’s ‘Frantic’, an anxiety-inducing stomper that would be at home on the soundtrack to any 80s slasher flick.
