Candy

Dutch XXX imprint is back with its 7th release assembled from four track, 2 from North-American producer Spencer Miles, and 2 from Lithuanian young rising star Zakmina.
Spencer Miles is muisician based in Portland, Oregon. Been already seen with his debut release on Bordello A Parigi in 2018, he is back now to the XXX with his new work.
Heady kicks, claps and pads, vocals that seem to have lost faith and hope in the reality of the passing, Inverted Reallity doesn't even go halfway to describing this one. A pinpoint bass heavy analogue basement jam which hits every muscle in the body forcing it to work longafter the chemical bliss of the early evening has worn off. 12" Record out November 1st, buy here: https://es.juno.co.uk/products/spencer-miles-zakmina-xxx-007/750175-01/

PREMIERE #658 | Spencer Miles - Inverted Reality [XXX] 2019

The river was the only route out of the city. It stretched for miles and miles, ebbing and flowing with the breeze that carried it along. Dark green leaves and sprawling branches formed a canopy over the water, protecting this natural place from prying eyes. It felt peaceful, a place for escaping the stresses of city life. In fact, this river held many secrets, stories that would make your hair stand on end. Its beauty was simply a facade...

Next up on XXX, the Dutch label run by DJ and producr SHMLSS, is good friend and Bordello A Parigi alumni Stijn Sadée. After two contributions to earlier releases for the label, he's now set to release his first original EP on the label, which features a remix from Smala boss Manfredas that they locked in after the Lithuanian producer saw Stijn play live last year. The aesthetics of the label are down to Stijn's brother Thomas who worked closely with him to create something that fitted with the music and his influences.

PREMIERE: Stijn Sadée - Dynamite Fishing [XXX]

Smoke ebbed and flowed through the warehouse, engulfing all dancers in its path. Through the haze you could make out countless sweaty writhing bodies, eyes closed or heads down; each and every one lost in their own world. Their hips oscillating and swaying with every kick and stab that punctured the room. Their bodies were slave to the rhythms. 

Close family Timothy Clerkin pays tribute the foundations of rave music with a contemporary vision with his new EP Psalm. Set for release on his own Insult To Injury imprint, that he runs alongside us at R$N HQ, it features three originals torn from the late night good book. 'Slave Too' - which also gets a remix on the flip from Simian Mobile Disco's Jas Shaw - takes things up a gear following opener 'Psalm', bringing with it heavy breaks and detuned stabs that transport us back to the early 90s.

PREMIERE : Disco Morato - Sei

"Feel the Drive" launches a new label with a four-track EP.  First there were the parties, then came the radio shows, and now the label.  Szymek Lawik and Martin Lefteri spend their lives digging up Italo, New Beat and EBM delights, so a record label was a logical progression.  It’s the perfect distillation of their combined tastes and determination to search for new music.  The four-track debut EP features Franz Scala (Bahnsteig 23, Tusk Wax, Cocktail d'Amore), Anatolian Weapons (Beats in Space, Dark Entries), Furor Exótica  (Bordello a Parigi, Sprechen) and the label heads themselves under their Ondata guise (Red Laser, Night Noise Music).  
 
First up is Franz Scala, with “Sabrina”.  A pulsing, new beat thrum bolts out of the gate, setting the pace with conviction. This straight-ahead velocity leans to guitar licks and Italo horn stabs, before you know it, you’re transported - hugging the curves and corners along with the motorik rhythm.   Shifting down a gear , the EP heads east with “Ela” as Anatolian Weapons light up the skies with  slow-burning intensity delivered with conviction. Exotic synth melodies, dextrous string playing and rolling acid lines carve out a unique path through the terrain, leaving no choice but to follow in its slipstream. 
 
Argentinian duo Furor Exótica  pick up the pace with “Fat Training”, an arpeggio-supercharged dancer guaranteed to lift the spirits and recharge the batteries come 3am. This track carries its momentum up front and its boogie in the back.  Closer “Kolossos” is an apt moniker for this no-nonsense, heads-down monster. It’s a neon-lit tunnel late at night, alien light throwing repetitive, yet slowly shifting shapes against sheer walls as you move through.  “It’s not as bad for humankind to be dominated by me than to be dominated by others of your species” a voice intones as we reach our destination. It’s metal machine music to save us from ourselves.

PREMIERE : Ondata - Kolossos

A glowing orange orb slowly descended from the sky into an empty alley-way; a unique phenomenon which would be unfortunately overlooked, as it took place at 04:56 AM on an oddly-warm Tuesday morning, in a part of town which could be frankly mistook for abandoned during week nights. The orb began emanating orange pulsing lights that gradually fractured away from their original source, solidifying into discernable shapes: a human-like form started developing, giving these glistening spectres a well-defined head, torso and limbs. Reaching a residential area the spectres began to move towards the houses, favouring those with open windows. Slowly, they each slid up the external walls and entered the edifice, in complete silence. 

Amsterdam's Sinchi return with a new EP from Leo Nanazzo & Mishouju, who have linked up for Consistency, which features remixes from Man Power and Timothy Clerkin. Generated by the two producers whilst jamming and messing around with vocals, the title track goes into full eccentric acid-disco, featuring scintillating drums and quirky vocal samples, interspersed with space-age lasers and electro breaks. All proceeds from the EP will be donated to the Sinchi Foundation, which upholds the UN’s declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

STEP presents the second volume of its VA series: an Old School flavored collection of Dance floor gems coming from Macaulay, Simon Garcia, Beef Records' DJ Schwa and Japan's talent Guchon.

Pets Recordings' sub label STEP is back with a bang. Following EPs from rising stars like Third Son, Nørus, DJ Steaw and Panthera Krause, the minds behind the imprint have carefully selected 4 cuts for the second chapter of their VA series.

The EP features a series of international underground artists, all with different backgrounds. The result though is an complementary collection of club oriented tracks all permeated by a pure Old School vibe.
