INCOMING : Cyanica - Pivotal (DJ Deep State Mirror Mix)  #HiddenAssets

Melodize are back with their 18th release, this time with label boss Beartrax in the driver’s seat.

There once was a creature called Beartrax, Who dwelt in the land of Melodize,
With music opaque and remixes so fine,
That Pagliara himself would often opine:
“How splendid, how jumbly, how strangely divine!”

This Beartrax would dance on his tail in the night,
While playing a tune that was wondrously bright,
Opaque were his melodies, twisted and queer,
That made all the Melodize creatures draw near.

“Oh! Beartrax, dear Beartrax,” they’d cheerfully say,
“Your Pagliara Remixes make our hearts sway!
So splendiferous, rumbly, melodiously strange,
From basslines to treble, the whole tonal range!”

But Beartrax just smiled with his whiskers akimbo,
And twirled seven times in a musical limbo,
For musical nonsense was all that he knew,
In Melodize land where the sky was dark blue.

We’re premiering Massimiliano Pagliara’s synth-heavy, bassy rework of Opaque… Belter.

What do you get if you put two synthesizer sorcerers in the same room? In the case of Skatebård and Lauer, the answer is Trollkraft. Between them, the Norwegian-German partnership have hundreds of releases, run record labels and have wowed crowds across the globe. In short, the two tracks of Trollkraft are the product of some serious electronic talent. Rich and textured drum layers give way to strings and a vibrating bass for the title piece. Twists and turns abound, elements of disco and house brush shoulders with indie and italo as the pair tear down genre divisions. A 90s heyday influence that runs through both offerings, with “One Night in Geilo” taking its cue from house rhythms and a two-stepping melody adopted from that emblematic decade. Reimagining rave in their own effervescent and playful style, these strobe and fog veterans serve up a fat slice of glow-stick elation. Strings weave high into the dawning sky, bongos and toms reveling next incandescent synthines with just a touch of trance thrown in to add spice to this heady and euphoric mix. Two tracks from two true masters.

PREMIERE: Skatebård & Lauer - Trollkraft

Norway x Germany. Two heavyweights go head to head for a belter of an EP.

There once were two sorcerers of synthesized sound, Named Skatebård and Lauer, most wondrously renowned, They journeyed to Geilo one effervescent night, With Bordello A Parigi shining strobe-light bright.

“Oh fiddle-de-dee with your Trollkraft and strings! What Norwegian-German vibrating bass brings!” They twostepped and tangoed through fog with such glee, While bongos and toms played a disco jubilee.


 
The incandescent synthlines went weaving so high, Like glow-sticks elating the dawning trance sky, The italo-indie-house masters did play, Till the heyday of rhythm drove genre away.

And what did they learn from this euphoric spree? That electronic wizards, when paired, disagree On everything proper, but somehow still make The most splendid nonsense for dancing’s sweet sake!

Trollkraft unites the mighty Skatebård and (Philip) Lauer, a Norwegian-German partnership.

Their self-titled release features two tracks of Italo inspired 90s Garage.

“One Night In Geilo” draws on 90s house and two-stepping melody.

Out June 6th on Bordello.

Get it on…right…now.

PREMIERE - GREETINGS - End of the Night (Romain FX Remix) (Boots & Legs)

LATIDO is proud to present Bicho Raro, the new EP by veteran Spanish producer Undo, a key figure in the country’s electronic scene for over two decades. Known for his emotional approach to club music, Undo delivers three original tracks that showcase his unmistakable flair for strong, memorable melodies and subtle intensity. 
From the cinematic drive of “A Shot In The Dark” to the playful weirdness of “Ornitorrinco”, the EP blends warmth, groove and just the right amount of strangeness. The track Ornitorrinco is presented in two different versions, each offering a distinct take on its quirky identity and melodic tension. 
The release closes with a remix by Odopt (Hivern Discs, Born Free), who reshapes Ornitorrinco into a darker, more hypnotic piece, pushing the track into murkier, serpentine territory.

PREMIRE - Sebra Cruz - Acid Days Easy Days (Bolina Records)

Our summer 2025 addition to the Edit Series comes from @arashandquasar

In his own words, The song “Otdavali Molodu” (“They Gave the Young Bride Away”) is one of the first and most striking hits by the Soviet VIA (Vocal-Instrumental Ensemble) “Ariel,” arranged by Valery Yarushin based on a traditional Russian folk tune. The foundation of the piece is a traditional folk melody, but Yarushin infused it with rock intonations, which gave the ensemble its distinctive and recognizable style. Thanks to this song, Yarushin earned the respect of rock musicians, folk enthusiasts, and even academic audiences.

Why is the song important?

It’s a perfect example of the synthesis between folk motifs and modern musical forms: folklore + rock, an unconventional genre for a VIA. The song captures the spirit of its time, the 1970s, the heyday of Soviet folk rock and a period of musical boldness.

Thanks to this track, “Ariel” transcended the borders of Chelyabinsk and even the USSR, becoming recognized both across Eastern Europe and within the Soviet Union.

“Otdavali Molodu” is not just a hit by “Ariel” — it’s a symbol of an entire era: the beginning of the ensemble’s musical evolution, a successful example of folk-rock fusion, and a song that truly influenced listeners and the development of the Soviet music scene.
