Melodize label-boss Beartrax announces his ‘Valor EP’ this July, backed with remixes from Johannes Albert and Lauer.

Since its inception in 2019, Beartrax’s Melodize imprint has consistently pushed deeply musical house and techno, with contributions from John Tejada, Fort Romeau, Carl Finlow, and many more standing alongside Beartrax’s original productions throughout the label’s back catalogue.

Leading the sixth release, ‘Phantom Night’ sees haunted atmospherics nestled amongst ethereal synth licks, before a cinematic violin takes centre stage. Johannes Albert’s remix peppers elements of the original with slick acid lines and punchy drums, re-imagining the dramatic violin for a fresh and highly entertaining take.

On the flip, the uplifting ‘Valor’ runs through a series of modulating basslines, glistening pads, and sizzling drums, topped off with a majestic cello performance throughout. Rounding out the release, Lauer adds rubbery low end, floating keys, and hands-in-the-air piano stabs to ‘Valor’ for a high-energy end to another stellar EP from Melodize.

Beartrax ‘Valor EP’ lands on Melodize on 30th July 2021.

Valor EP

PREMIERE: Beartrax - Phantom Night [Melodize]

What about dancing through a forest? Certainly! The "Spessart" ambient album gets overdue dance interpretations by the man himself, Johannes Albert that is. Out of the calm originals we morph over to euphoric Italo vibes ("Kuhruh"), a bit of balearic-meets-nyc-house ("Schönrain"), not to forget some subtle indie-kompakt-like basslines ("Mariabuchen") and last but not least, we bump into broken 606 drum workouts ("Katharinenbild"). In Johannes' own words: "All I ever wanted is to remix myself". In the end? Dancing is more than okay! Artwork by Jana Marei.

Spessart - The Dance Versions

Another feature on the show from Paul McGreevy, who between 2018 and now has had a busy and productive period as he launched the Jovial Discotheque in September 2018 which is on an upward path and is evergrowing. He also set up the LJMU Dance Music & DJ Society, teaching and inviting people into the dance music and DJ’ing world, this has also had a great reaction and is growing by the day.

And be sure to keep an ear out for his music blog and podcast series called "Spud, Eggs & Hand Grenades" which he will be co-hosting. This is sure to blow up :)

enjoy the ride <3

BBM Vol. 97 - Paul McGreevy

There were all sorts of shimmering shapes and colours floating atop the water as he watched perched upon a boat heading down stream. They moved softly on the rolling waves as they travelled through the old town - onlookers gazed out upon the spectacle, they say nestled amidst the reeds on the shore. For some of them it would be the first time that they had ever seen a parade or procession as grand and fantastic as this - the wild colours were electric and ethereal aboard the floating ships. It were as if they'd touched down from outer space. 

Because of Art is a producer who is receiving wide acclaim and support from some of the biggest and best dj's out there. With releases on the likes of Skream and Sasha's labels thus far, now he sets up shop on Anja Schneider's Sous Music with a track called 'Ethereal'.

PREMIERE: Because of Art - Ethereal [Sous Music]

Exclusive: Will Saul - Avalon

Aus Music-founder Will Saul’s Avalon track is not to be missed as AVA. Records, co-run by Damiano von Erckert, rings in their musical festivities for the 10th anniversary with a compilation, that contains contributions from the who-is-who of the House scene, among them Move D, Cinthie, Jus-Ed, Ron Trent, Damiano himself and Saul. The latter’s track is the first release after his Your Time Is Up EP in 2020 on his own imprint and therefore highly anticipated - with good reasons and correctly as Will Saul does not disappoint. Avalon does not only convince because of its spaced out cosmic chord sequences that burn themselves deeper and deeper into the listener’s mind as the track proceeds, but it’s the combination of the synth- and the break-esque bass line that makes the take so emotive and guarantees addictivity. 

AVA. Records 10 Yahre compilation is released on December 3rd, 2021.
