Definitely an unexpected long wait for this one, it was totally worth it though. One of the label pillars and long time friend, a strong voice in the ministry of groove (if there ever was one), meticulous perfectionist of audio, Azaria, who’s artistic name should be familiar for our small but faithful audience, is presenting a strong compound of shadowy elements that subtlety merge with the essence of a slowed down goa trance body sprinkled with a surprisingly unexpected latin touch that we just couldn’t resist. “Bugs” is the latest delivery from one our favourite artists accompanied of out-of-the-question great Anatolian Weapons (Greece) and Tyu (Mexico) remixes,  the whole album is just heading straight to your favourite hottest playlists.

Tracklist: 

1. Bugs
2. Pensando
3. Unrelent
4. Bugs (Anatolian Weapons Remix)
5. Pensando (Tyu Remix)

PREMIERE: Azaria - Pensando [Logical Records]

A Story of Italo Disco, Indie Dance, Slow Motion, New Wave, Breakbeat ...is now starting

INCOMING : Tech Support - Roaming Acid #AnoAno

Release date : 2022-09-23

Buy : https://techsupportuk.bandcamp.com/album/feelings-electric

On hand with the right solutions… Tech Support returns after a string of releases for Nocturne, Futureboogie & Silver Bear last year, making his debut on Ano Ano with a sublime serenade of subtle-but-shining gems, perfect for those warm-ups, wind-downs or 3am wig-outs.

One of his most comprehensive, accomplished and considered EPs to date, ‘Feelings Electric’ continues to refine and hone the London-based artist’s love for that timeless, well-oiled dark synth funk. The title track is a perfect example of his fusion as the beat pulsates with Weatheralian intent the lead line whispers sweet indie chugs into our ears.

Next we’re joined by Mexican DJ and artist Vongold who purrs sultry spoken word over a stalking mid-tempo creeper that’s powered by dubby echoes but crystalised by its sweeping chords. ‘Roaming Acid’ follows, completing the tryst of originals. A wandering 303 minstrel, wistfully zoning into the slo-mo sunset with a free spirit and a spring its step, it’s music for dreamers just as much as it is for dancers… And sets us up perfectly for the remix finale courtesy of Shubostar who ups the chug for more of a peak time affair.

Tech Support… Always there when you need it.

Tech Support - Feelings Electric (inc. Shubostar Remix)

INCOMING : Tech Support - Roaming Acid #AnoAno

18th release signed by @fargodevianti & @nvongold
Remix by @jennifercardini & @damon-jee
Artwork: Léo Marsal
Vinyl + digital pre-order → hardfist.bandcamp.com/

The Mexican duo is all about low-tempo, dark disco and anxious lyrics, mixing guitars, synthesizers, and voodoo rhythms. Together they create a psychedelic journey into haunted vocals, hypnotic percussion landscapes, oriental dreams, with an avant-garde rock flavor.

Jennifer Cardini and Damon Jee brought a powerful remix influenced by Detroit's electro and breakbeat roots. Once mixed with the trippy sounds of the original version, it opens a fresh new door into the field of “dancefloor killer” music

PREMIERE: Fargo Devianti & Vongold - Taste Of Butter (Jennifer Cardini & Damon Jee Remix)

From the bookshelves to the curtains and the once varnished table top, inches of dust covered the surfaces. Hoards of newspapers and old magazines stacked to ceiling height and baskets of trinkets and old gadgets cluttered the floor. The past had always fascinated him more than the present, it conjured up feelings of nostalgia that he preferred to linger in. Though the world continued to move forwards he was happy to stay exactly where he was.

For the best part of a decade, through their events and record label Madrid's Play Pal Music have been exploring the darker spaces of electronic music touching on disco, new wave, psychedelic and slo mo. Sandwiched between their lengthy discography of artist EPs, they've been sharing their Pals VA compilations which have called on artists from all over the world who choose to lurk in the shadowy corners. For their sixth instalment they've brought together the likes of Arvin Fajar, Leo af Ekenstam and Vongold, among others, for seven tracks that travel between the cosmic, the deep and the heady fringes of dance music.

PREMIERE: Vongold - DAC [Play Pal Music]

The respected Madrid-based Sagan Club collective started its beautiful journey nine years ago. In order to celebrate the occasion, they decided to put together a four-volume compilation series, coming soon on Cenital Music, featuring some of the artists who have already rocked the boat and set the roof on fire at their previous memorable events: Delone, JackWasFaster (SXDNS219), LagreSca, and Hyman Bass, one of the resident DJs and founders of the collective, brought their own worlds to the first chapter, following a backbone soundscape but keeping true to their own characteristic sonorities and focusing on what really matters: Keeping the dance floor happy, baby!

Premiered here, JackWasFaster’s collaboration definitely raises the bar of the already solid compilation. The interesting title, “Ora Et Labora” – or “pray and work” in English –, refers to the Catholic monastic practice of working and praying – and Jack worked hard and meticulously to deliver such a mind-blowing cut. Did he pray? No idea. The important is the outcome: The gripping vocal hook, rhythmic synth lead, and exhilarating acid layer he put together deliver a powerful and imperative theme.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/cenital-music/64059

🔊 https://youtu.be/D29FRRZlRtM

Our well-received 'Muy Duro' VA series reaches its ninth edition loaded with acid sounds, hypnotic percussions, booming basses, blips, noises and a lot of energy. For this edition we have the pleasure to present music from Enzio Etchaberri, Theus Mago & Coast2c, Zillas On Acid, Mike Sacchetti & Chas, and ZEA.

The compilation opener is "Vow" by Enzio Etchaberri also known as Etcha. A slow, fat and frisky cut. The percussion takes you up and down, while the atmosphere feels like being inside a sound blender. It’s followed by the collaboration between Theus Mago and the modular synthesis crack, Coast2c. “Dead Piano” a track influenced by rave music and acid techno, with a resonant bass, sharp percussions and an obscure and deep melody.

The North American duo, Zillas On Acid, presents "Proteus", a slow and brutal cut loaded with funky psychedelic sounds, reverberating vocals, a hypnotic bass line and synthesizers born from the void. "The Revenge of Los Tropicales", the collaboration between Mike Sacchetti & Chas, a somniferous and latin cut filled with percussions and psychotropic keyboards that will make you fantasize. Closing the VA is ZEA with "Generator Machine", a powerful and edged cut with phantasmagoric synths and fuzzy vocals out of a science fiction movie.

Tracklist: 

Enzio Etchaberri - VoW (Original Mix)
Theus Mago & Coast2c - Dead Piano (Original Mix)
Zillas On Acid - Proteus (Original Mix)
