Mister T. Records is a Record label and DJ collective founded by a group of friends in Paris & Toulouse. 18 months after the release of their 3rd EP, the label is back with their first official digital release, a new project by Russian-born (Paris-based) producer/DJ Sim Fossil.

Sim isn’t new to the production game, in fact, he started his journey in electronic music 10 years ago, producing under his house alias Cossway and releasing with labels like HedZup, Whoyostro, Hatch, Deepolody, and Inter records. Sim considers this project a big step up for him, citing labels like Mood Hut, Pacific Rhythm, and PPU as influences for this newly minted sound.

The Body Contact EP is truly a blast from the past. Each tune is filled with vintage synths and iconic drum machine sounds paying homage to the sounds of the Belgian, Canadian, and US underground scenes.

The EP opens with ‘Body Contact’, its most dance-floor friendly track, mixing together the loud and simple rhythms of newbeat jamming with Sim’s distorted house samples. The journey continues with ‘Baseline Traffic’, another powerful tune, diving in the very essence of late 80’s electronic music. Its hypnotic bassline guides us all along, between aerial melodies and filtered synths. Rounding out the release is ‘Programmed Cruise’, a groovy tribute to proto-house and synth-pop, a step back from the new beat influences of the two first tracks. With its ethnic flutes and chugging percussion, Sim evokes a light and carefree atmosphere that’d be perfect for daytime festie sets. A song like this is versatile and could easily make its way into a house, Italo, or even tech-house set. If you’re a fan of DJ City, Jexopolis, or anything from Eden Burns, this EP will be right up your alley.

Sim Fossil’s Body Contact EP drops on February 2nd. Smash that pre-order via the label’s Bandcamp.

After 2 years & being played by infamous names such as The Blessed Madonna, Horse Meat Disco, Tim Sweeney, Carista, Peach, Orpheu The Wizard, Ben UFO, Rune Lindbaek, Dicky Trisco, Double Dancer and the list goes on… Canto Club is back!

From party people with shoulder pads, big hair, white Rolls-Royces, panama hats, the Fragrant Harbour that is Hong Kong had a very unique Hotel / Clubbing scene before places like DD’s, Canton Disco and Hot Gossip opened their doors.

These Discotheques were a place of creativity, panache and mischief of the era. They were all destinations of desire.

For this edition, we have a special duo called Running Hot which is making waves on the web for digging obscure gems alongside our head honcho RFX. This compilation of 8 edits from the harbor.
We have lots of glitter in this one and the usual funky percussive grooves very unique to Cantonese music.

There’s a track for everyone in this compilation.

Chao Yue Huang Xian (Running Hot Edit)

The rainforest was alive with all manner of sounds and smells; everywhere you turned there was something new to take in. Birds chirped high above; insects buzzed loudly in harmony; all carried by the gentle breeze that drifted through the branches. They joined together to create a sweet cacophony of sounds, like nature's own personal choir. This place belonged to them; it belonged to the trees and the plants, to the insects and the mammals, to the rivers and the springs; this was their home and, at least for now, it was untarnished by mankind.

DJ and producer REES has been making quite the storm recently with his slick take on Italo Disco and the synth-driven sounds of the 80s, whilst also flying the flag for his home of Middlesborough. Releases for Bordello A Parigi, Permanent Vacation, Internasjonal and his own Paradiso imprint have housed these sounds so far, and now he heads to Palms Trax's CWPT imprint for another batch of driving cuts. Rhythm is at the core of the four tracks on Devils Club which, once again, tip the hat to his favourite musical era through propulsive bass lines, crisp percussion and soaring synth melodies.

@gabtogabto Flip that wax and step on the gas because Gabto reunites with collaborator Kauan Marco for the colossally cool ‘Ki Ko Ho’. These brilliant Brazilians have delivered a bonafide gem, complete with drums that hit you in all the right places, and a killer synthesiser solo - brilliant stuff. 

An electrifyingly eclectic and adventurous collection of toe-tappers and hip-snappers, made with love and coming soon to a discoteca near you.

Otis - Stimulation of a Thinking Compuer 
Label: somewhere...
Format: Vinyl
Release Date: April 19, 2024
Cat#: SW001

"Today marks the beginning of something special for us, as we evolve into a musical platform for underground music, showcasing the talented artists who contribute to our vibrant scene.

Over the last few months we have worked tirelessly to bring to life what has been an all time passion project, and document the sonic identity of our parties as it evolves.

The dancefloor is our driving force, it’s what inspires our sound; with influences from 90s rave music, House, Electro and Breaks. As such, our label becomes an extension of our parties, and our parties become an extension of our label — giving space to artists to express themselves through one and the other, and always pushing for more, with no boundaries or rules.

For our first installment on the label, we welcome the enigmatic Otis into our family with the Stimulation of a Thinking Computer EP. Four driving tracks; hard, stripped back cuts on the A side and rhythmic, spacey soundscapes on the flipside.

Early support from Giammarco Orsini, Anna Wall, Anthea, Alex Dima, Alexia Glensy, Brasi, Aline Brooklyn, Bassam + more"

Otis - Hyperstimulacion [somewhere...]

Ethereal pads ease us above the clouds, then as the kick gradually takes over we are slowly but surely pulled back down to earth. As the sub bass enters the fray, our feet are firmly on the ground treading a familiar four four groove; reminiscent of the bleep/warp days of Sheffield and the skipping snares of Renegade Soundwaves 'Thunder.' In an almost pitch black warehouse, a solitary green laser skits across raised hands and swirling strawberry scented smoke. Spacious repeated melodies scatter in and out of the ethereal pads and cavernous sub bass give us a sense of hope to a better future.
