Marvin & Guy - UWIH (Unprofessional Widow In Hell)

JUNO Review:
Extremely limited, only 300 copies of this 12 minute dub wig-out have been pressed and they've promised no represses and certainly no digital. Cosmic with a heavy lolloping bass plod (think Norway's burgeoning sound in the mid noughties) expect to be completely washed out by shimmering oceanic guitar strums that sound like a really slo-mo, heavily processed sample of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" (but probably aren't). 
As the groove spirals into hypnotic bliss, the 12 minutes pass with a blink of the eye. 
Deliciously deep; Even a 30 minute edit of this wouldn't be long enough.

MIXMAG Review:
Just what you want to hear if you see HARVEY at 3am: a 12-minute long, deep, dubby, trippy, hypnotic disco workout that fuses guitar licks with chunky drums. 
It’s one of those tracks you’re already loving before the vocal drops in, meaning when it does a dancefloor orgasm isn’t out of the question.

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

INCOMING : Rigopolar - Melting Moon -(Original Mix) #TOURDEINFINITE

Release date : 2022-04-30

Manuel Castaneda a.k.a. Rigopolar is now based in Miami. He mixes up Italo, disco, techno and wave music on labels like Duro, Aeon, Nazca and Tom Tom Disco. He is a mainstay of the dark disco scene and always takes dance floors on a trip through space and time with his rough-edged but majestically melodic sounds. His new label will be a place for his most comprehensive musical statements yet, and the first offering is an instant classic of the genre.
 
Opener 'Purple Drive' is an expansive astral disco cut with sweeping guitar riffs and dazzling disco-fried synth work. It's chuggy and packed with stylish reverb and a well-treated vocal. Next is the twinkling 'Inversus Totalis,' which melts swaggering and dubbed out drums with twitchy synths into a sleek and far-sighted dance floor destroyer in the mold of ALFOS. The brilliant 'Melting Moon' is another dark disco gem that is quick to lock you in with its tinny percussion and rugged arps. They're backed with coarse hits and a pulsing bassline that forever forges forwards through the stars. 'Saturnia' closes down with mind-melting synth loops and prickly hits. The drums are firmly rooted, while splashy cymbals and vocoder vocals add that deep space feel.
 
A second EP is already in the works for later in the year and is sure to confirm this is an essential new label for dark disco heads.

2001: Guillaume Atlan is nominated with 'Starlight' at the MTV Awards in the best French artists category. 20 years later, the first generation French Touch (Modjo, Demon, Cassius, Stardust, Etienne de Crécy etc.) is almost gone. Among the few still active, The Supermen Lovers, who will release his fourth studio album, 'Body Double', end of May.
A reference to Brian de Palma's film and its perfect plastic, the disc bears witness to the many artistic encounters and tumults of love that feed Guillaume during his trip to Kyiv from 2018 to 2020. Love can move mountains but can also destroy a man. Demons and emotions will make him go back to the studios, firstly in Kyiv, which reminds him of Paris in the 90s : strong energy, a thirst for discovery, creation and pure spontaneity. Straddling 2 musical bodies, the heart of Body Double balances between vocal electro-disco and clubbing, without forgetting this analog/digital jumble dear to Guillaume. He is an electro producer, a DJ, but above all a multi-instrumentalist. Machines in contact with “real” instruments

Jac The Disco 'Cosmic Matter (Original Mix)'

Jac The Disco aka Jay Rossi returns with a brand new EP following last years ‘Inversions’ which was released on San Francisco’s Roam Recordings and received support from the like of B.Traits, ALFOS, Job Jobse, and Kasper Bjorke to name a few. This time round he is releasing on his own imprint ‘Spin On This’.

The debut release for the label entitled ‘Cosmic Matter” features two new original works and remixes from dance music heavyweights Prins Thomas and Nicolas Chaix alias I: Cube who is co-founder of Versatile Records and one of France’s most significant producers.

First up is the title track Cosmic Matter, which takes us on a brooding, simmering trip shot into the cosmos with nourishing galactic synths which teases and builds that dance floor tension into a fine piece of space disco electronica. Thomas then takes the track to a whole new level `with 8 minutes of driving baseline, elevating chords and percussive fills which will send you straight into the celestial light of your very being.

The B-side plays host to Bali Dance which takes more of a progressive approach and includes acidic bleeps and tweaks and rising voices which will leave then dancers feeling as if the heavens have just opened. The track features live field recordings from the rice fields of Bali creating a mind melting atmospheric trip.

I:Cube then deconstructs the parts and places them straight into a live desk mix and does what he does best encapsulates the moment and creates that ever lasting ecstatic vibe.

Jac The Disco's EP 'Cosmic Matter' was released on Spin On This on December 6th, 2019.

Cosmic Matter (Original Mix)

buy : https://www.beatport.com/release/our-time-will-come-again-feat-surahn/3077340

20 year dance music industry veteran John Noseda makes a standout debut on Agoria's Sapiens label with a new single featuring Surahn that very much shows off his subtly euphoric and truly emotional house sound. Adding to the essential package is a remix from disco icon Prins Thomas. 

Belgian born Noseda has been running clubs and events such as Kitsch Club, Club 69, WECANDANCE and more recently John The Club and Klub Dramatik Festival for many years. He recently branched out into production after decades of collecting records and DJing, and has a real analogue sound that is perfectly escapist. He has unconditional love for disco, Italo, EBM and house that always shows in his music. It has already been played at iconic clubs like DC10 and Berghain's Panoramabar, and here he works with Australian DFA, Sony and Future Classic artist Surahn to stunning effect. Surahn has played every major festival on the planet from Glastonbury to Coachella, topped the Billboard charts with his collaborative album with Usher and is a founding member of pioneering disco band The Swiss. Always pushing boundaries with his music, he is a world renowned talent who brings real class to this track. 'Our Time Will Come Again' is a deeply immersive house roller, with lush sunset chords and balearic keys that take you to the beach. The mood is melancholic and thoughtful, with gorgeous breakdowns and Surahn's spine tingling vocals adding another layer of emotion that makes a lasting impact. The dub version strips things back to the warm, rubbery beats and perfectly lazy grooves that encourage you to sink and allow your mind to wander. 

Then comes the dazzling remix from Prins Thomas that displays all the usual melodic magic and escapist grooves the world has come to expect from this Nordic icon. He is boss of his own Full Pupp label and deals in neo-disco, house-not-house and plenty in between. He is famously laid back but his sound is super luxurious and has very much defined an era.
This is a stunning new package once again from Sapiens.

PREMIERE : John Noseda - Our Time Will Come Again (Prins Thomas Diskomiks)

Exclusive:  A.M.O.R. - No More (Each Other Remix)

Max Pask and Justin Strauss teamed up again under their Each Other moniker to deliver yet another remix full of love for A.M.O.R's, short for A Mountain Of Rimowa, track No More on Lithuanian label Le Temps Perdu. Behind A.M.O.R. is London-based producer Sean Johnston who contributed four original (Balearic influenced) tracks to the EP The Fall of A Mountain Of Rimowa. Justin and Max keep up the sunny vibe of the original but add their slightly discos and dreamy hypnotic vibe to it. As soon as the piano sets it the Each Other's approach takes us to a place and time, that's partly out of sight at the moment as it suggests the freedom at summerish outdoor events. However, their remix reminds one of the beauty of dancing to joyful music under the blue sky in a sexy yet elegant way.

A.M.O.R.'s EP The Decline and Fall of A Mountain Of Rimowa will be released on Le Temps Perdu on September 18th, 2020.

EXCLUSIVE: A.M.O.R. - No More (Each Other Remix) [Le Temps Perdu]

Gerd Janson sends Rheinzand into orbit with this turbocharged remix double. The Running Back label owner and longstanding DJ heavywheight enlists his house music fluency, revving up the disco gleam of ‘Blind’ on its own terms. Charlotte Caluwaerts vocals reverberate through space ray arpeggiators and burnished drum gates in a pulsating play of silver and silk. Janson’s effort here sends our thoughts to gentler times as we imagine it either booming from a preposterous sound system in a sweaty basement or glowing in Mediterranean starlight. Either way, the energy of this one deserves a real dancefloor so let’s hope it gets one soon. ‘Blind’ featured on Rheinzand’s self-titled debut album, which came out in 2019 to high acclaim, named Piccadilly Records’ album of the year. This release, featuring Janson’s ‘Dance’ and ‘Dub’ remixes, comes within a series of remixes of tracks from that album. A few more (including other treatments of ‘Blind’) will follow before we finally compile them all in a remix album, celebrating Rheinzand’s chameleon take on dance music.

PREMIERE : Rheinzand - Blind (Gerd Janson Dance Remix)
