Duncan Gray - April Mix 2022

Maurizio Dami aka Alexander Robotnick is a DJ and a producer from Italy who gained a vast reputation in the early 80s with his track “Problèmes d'amour” released by Sire-Wea which soon became a “cult” within dance music. In the 90s he was very active on the world-music scene but went back to electronics at the beginning of the new millennium. In 2003 he started his career as an international DJ and since then has been playing in major cities in Europe and the U.S. at famous clubs such as Ministry of Sound, Fabric and Plastic People in London, Coral Room and Love in NYC, Razzmatazz, Olympia and Be Cool in Barcelona, Sky Bar and Smart Bar in Chicago, Berghain in Berlin, Paradiso in Amsterdam.... the list is long.

He played at many electronic music festivals such as Movement Festival (Detroit), Exit Festival (Serbia), Insonnia (Tromzo), Geek Picnick Festival (Moscow), Dimension Festival (Croatia), Altavoz (Medellin) Reverso (Milan) Lente Kabinet (Amsterdam) Glitch Festival (Malta) Biennale Musica (Venice), Electro-Mechanica (St. Petersburg), Dekmantel (Amsterdam)... just to mention a few.

His records are released by many labels including SIRE/WEA, Materiali Sonori, Yellow Production, Creme Organization, Permanent Vacation, Hot Banana, This Is Music, Clone Records, Bordello a Parigi, and Bosconi Records, for instance. Since 2003, he's been running his own label: Hot Elephant Music (https://www.hot-elephant.com). He remixed tracks by Detroit Grand Pubahs, Giorgio Moroder, Robosonic, Kompute, Little Boots, David Carretta, Planet Funk, Bottin, and Fabrizio Mammarella... just to mention a few.

He gained a reputation also as a video maker. His odd and funny video clips got more than 4 million views on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/mauriziodami).

His DJing style covers different genres of dance music: New-Disco, Italo-Disco, Tech-House, Electro-House etc. With Ludus Pinsky he started the project "The Analog Session" (https://www.the-analog-session.it). Their most popular video clip "N5 from outer space" reached more than 1,5 million views (https://youtu.be/H511Iye6BsI).

Maurizio Dami lives in Firenze (Italy). He owns a basement studio–apartment in town where he spends all his time when in Firenze. The rest of the time he spends at the seaside in South Tuscany or in Sri Lanka/India during the winter. He is still performing live concerts and DJ-Sets, but since he is a bit old, he is limiting his activity. He uses to play DJ-Sets in India during the winter. During the period 2015-2020, he travelled by motorbike through many South Indian states taking shots. His work as a video maker can be seen on the author's channel: India Through My Eyes (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2_XT9CFS-MrqvODqyYbocQ).

Maurizio is doing quite well despite the ailments due to his age, 72. And he owns all things he needs, including a studio, car, bicycle, and some cash. He has a long-term love affair with Donatella. They are celebrating 22 years of not-marriage right now. He still enjoys his work in the studio as he did at the beginning of his career, and this is very important. So, life should be easy for him. Unfortunately, the present geo-political situation makes him very concerned and also disappointed with the new generations who seem not to understand or care about what is happening and why.

FOCUS on RODION  mixed by K.Rise  Brussels April 2024 - Studio32

Meet Stipa – a moniker and a concept, created by Ukrainian musician Daria Maksymova. Daria has been around in music production for many years – though focusing on darker sound. However, when life itself became too dark, with the ongoing full-scale invasion to Ukraine happening, it was time to turn around and capture the opposite mood. 

That’s how Stipa was created, and that’s why the EP sounds the way it does. The creative process was always for Daria a coping mechanism: a way to escape reality and find a better place. Naturally, this way it’s possible to capture the moment, the feeling, a place, a certain experience forever and share it with those in need – like people of Ukraine, who struggle to find an escape from everyday wearies of war.

The EP is three original tracks toying with funk, disco and house genres, where Stipa showcasing her excellent producer’s skills and unique vision of melodies and song structures. The EP feels like a child of sun and summer and designed for recreating purposes – or for DJs summer sets on cozy patios while there’s a sunset in the background. To extend the pleasure, we invited two Ukrainian producers – Kadiristy & Rustam to make sure there’s a remix to anyone’s taste: from smooth deep house to groovy electro funk.

Daria shares more about the creation process: “I need a Ukrainian soundscape that makes me feel good. Listening to the world heritage of great disco and funky music is a pleasure, but it feels like visiting a friend's house. I wanted to build the room of my dreams at home – an imaginary soundscape where Mariia Prymachenko’s weird creatures could dance without feeling like foreigners.
My favourite part of parties has always been the morning. When the sun rises, glitter shines on smiling faces, and a sense of belonging and acceptance fills the air. It’s a fleeting moment of unconditional love, something so rare in life. 
I named this EP “Unconditional Love” as a reminder to myself and others to love the people around us while we are together – Любіть живих”.

Daria’s track was the one to open the label's first ever release. Now the exciting appearance of Stipa among other Regulardisco releases adds variety to Ukrainian music to be showcased here among upcoming years.

They shimmered and danced in the early morning breeze.

Those Denver chimes were elegant and graceful, their fluttering tones echoed through the morning as the dawn broke. The sky was a radiant mixture of pinks and blues and as he walked amongst the trees he felt that everything was right in the world. The park was quiet and still in the midst of the city, a perfect moment in time in which the city felt truly his own, undisturbed and peaceful. Soon everything would spring to life...

Alex Albrecht is a uniquely talented musician, an artist who draws upon environmental influences and is spectacularly talented at capturing the ambience and atmosphere of a space or place. His Melquíades project has been a firm favourite of ours and his latest release on Bouquet. Records is no exception.

Yes, I do want to hear new tracks. I am always interested in music which features REAL INSTRUMENTS - or electronic originality. I'm getting fussy these days...please email files to the email address above. (don't just send a soundcloud link please) If you don't know what the sound of this label is like, don't bother sending me stuff. I get quite a few demos with a note saying "I love the sound of your label" from producers who have clearly never listened to any of our releases.

PLEASE NOTE : 2020 release schedule now full, but I can always make room for something spectacular, or a really cool remix...
