Shir Khan Presents Welt Am Draht - a collection of Exploited dancefloor gold from 2023!
Shubostar’s colorful update on cosmic disco fits perfectly with the charms of Budakid’s ’Milestones’, with a bouncing off-beat bass line driving under heavily reverbed kicks and snares and a flurry of ascending arpeggios.
Brazil’s Renato Cohen is a perfect match for Sandhog’s ‘Accent’, bringing his new school electro/Italo touch to the proceedings with a knowing nod to New Order’s monumental classic ‘Blue Monday’.
‘Alte Liebe’ by Berlin’s Micropacer will send you over the edge. An absolutely stunning melodic progression underpins the undulating bass and relentless piano stomp of this one, recalling classic Italo / piano house with its jubilant feel and soaring pads.
AIKON from Kyiv reworks Claptone's classic 'United' from 2014 and gives it a heavy update for the dancefloor.
Joyce Muniz delivers dark Italo slammer 'Balin Bali', produced alongside rising Mexican star, Theus Mago.
‘Building Up’ by Enduro Disco is built on a solid foundation of nu disco texture but with a chunkier house edge.
On ‘High Energy’ by Mexican producer Levantine, distorted kicks suck at a tense synth arpeggio while in the distance a dramatic melody plays amidst a church-like reverb.
Barcelona’s Baldo revisits the gorgeously colorful ‘Dream Of You’ from Istanbul’s rising talent Zeynep Erbay, taking it on one hell of a trip.
NEAT’s ‘DYR’ is a beautiful, delicate, unhurried gem of a track, dripping in sensuality. Shimmering percussion and delayed claps lay a foundation atop sorrowful sustained organ-esque pads.
‘Fantasia’ by Kadosh builds slowly through a dramatic minor key bass line and shimmering metallic fuzz to suddenly explode into life with a stunning, sorrowful main riff that rocks a distorted 8-bit electro vibe.
Madrid duo Depaart rock the slick, acidic cut ’And You’ with a real air of sophistication about it.
Studio Barnhus affiliates Måns Glaeser (from swedish Off The Meds) and Basement Space team up for ‘Hollywood Cole’ - a cute breakbeat track peppered with old skool rap & diva vocals, shimmering electric piano chords and a thick, undulating bassline.
Marvin & Guy up the tempo for Joyce Muniz & Theus Mago’s track ’Balin Bali’ to a pacey house bounce and lay on some gentle electro textures.
London duo Make A Dance go deeper on their rework for Budakid’s ‘Milestones’, building through gated snips of the vocal, pulsing pads, Latin snare patterns and subtle bleep riffs and delays to reach a heady, hypnotic place.
Fabrizio Mammarella does the damage on his version of ‘Nechama’ by Sandhog, teasing us slowly with ticking techno percussion that ebbs and flows, he gradually reveals the synth chords amidst giant snare hits and pulsing cymbal rides.
Atlanta-based Sejva closes the compilation with ‘We Only Want To Be Bad’, flexing Hi-NRG muscle with its off-beat bassline, snazzy melodies and campy vocals. A masterclass in retro revivalism.
All in all this is a great eclectic dance compilation.

Oslo's deep house hero Henrik Villard returns with a new EP ‘Going Down’ on Snick Snack Music.

Henrik Villard's local scene success has rather burgeoned in recent years, with his name now making a mark on the international stage. His music has come on labels like Beatservice and Mhost Likely and blends classic and golden-age sounds with new school production techniques, lo-fi samples and groovy bass that carries listeners to the stars.

Opener 'Birdcall' does just that with its pulsing synth lines spraying about over surging house drums that are sure to lift the dance floor off its feet. Rich pads flesh out the details and make this one as emotive as it is dynamic. 'Going Down' brings plenty of psychedelic colour as sublime synth sequences rain down over the crisp, broken drum patterns. It's got a future disco feel that is impossible not to love. 'Redlight' is more loose and playful as the synths dance about with real soul and the prickly drums undulate to perfection. It's a perfect fusion of astral colour and human warmth that brings the dance floor together and closes the release in style.

Villard once again combines genuine musicality with a real understanding of dance floor grooves on this fresh new EP.

PREMIERE : Henrik Villard - Going Down

Here we go again! The return of the Greek DJ and production duo Boys' Shorts - this time in remixed form!
»On The High Line« and »Dark Room Rendez-Vous« from their first ever release for LIVE AT ROBERT JOHNSON get the remix treatment for even more Boys' Shorts dancefloor mayhem.
First up is Romain FX with his »Pressure Remix« of »On The High Line« and the title gives a hint to Romain's approach: He indeed adds a bit more pressure stripping down the former 80ties fueled track by adding a big big bass line thus achieving a more concentrated punch in general. By keeping DJ City's beautiful cool vocals for their remix they manage to keep the same lascivious quality you find in the original version. We say: Mission accomplished.
The next ones are a real "All in"! Jason nocturne doubles his stake straight away! Two versions for you! Keep it rollin' "On The Highline", or do you like it more acidic? The choice is yours!
Former Chicago-raised and socialized DJ and producer Alinka is next with her version of »Dark Room Rendez-Vous«. We're happy the Ukrainian-born and now Berlin resident Alinka is back for LARJ twisting the knobs just the right way transforming the track into a straighter and slightly darker monster the original instrumental already is. It's a winner, thank you Alinka!
We stay with the same track but now it's Mala Ika's turn. The French producer originally from Guadeloupe throws in a deeper bass drum into her remix and holds this extra energy over the whole six minutes. Mala Ika also adds a happy little synth melody that transforms this typical dark tune into a joyous yet still dark track.
All in all these three remixes can be seen as a beautiful supplement to Boys' Shorts original outing and will definitely find their way to the clubs all over the world.

A long term affair with the label finally leads to Vasconcellos’ debut on Inner Shah Recordings. The Brazilian artist unveils Italo Metálico EP, as a sweaty homage to the Italian Disco classics with a modern twist.

“Italo Metálico” features classical 80s elements, mixed with a robotized vocal, and a pinch of distortion and analog warmth. “Acid Dream” sets the tempo higher, with an energetic approach aimed at the dancefloors. This iconic B-side is driven by an infectious bassline and dreamy synths, that complement the opening track with more energy.

Although the originals were already secret club weapons, the EP becomes even more special with participations of Bizzarro Universe and Mike Sacchetti on remix duties. The Hamburg duo Bizzarro Universe brings in their infusion of Italo Trance with Eurodance, in a fun and chaotic approach, whereas Mike Sacchetti brings in a nostalgic club-driven touch.

Paradise + acid = Paradacid. Paradacid is a two-part EP that blends the gritty sounds of 303 and 808 machines with the euphoria of warehouse raves and the ambiance of virtual landscapes and Final Fantasy soundtracks.

This EP combines introspective tracks from periods of isolation with uplifting ones from moments of release, offering a diverse sonic experience without pushing a narrative. It's up to the listener to find their own meaning within the vibrant mix of old and new.

The essence of "Paradacid" lies in its name—a blend of paradise and acid, symbolizing the fusion of blissful soundscapes with the sharp, distinctive edges of acid house and electro.
