Dreamin' of open clubs! Thanks for the memories

Exclusive: Damiano von Erckert - Pete

With his second full EP on Will Saul's Aus Music label, Damiano von Erckert rings in a housey summer with a partly imaginated vision of opened clubs and a reality that mostly belies these expectations. However, DvE's latest three tracker Pete is meant to be for the floors – as the artist himself visualized this surrounding when producing the tracks – and is dedicated to all those people filling the latter with joy and happiness. The EP's title track Pete is an uplifting almost mental or cosmic House take, which has a tremendous and intriguing groove which is later on in the track even more supported by a vocal that it has the momentum on its side. After his remix for Cinthie's City Lights, Pete (maybe a shout out to Mr. Tong?) itself musically follows in the steps of the artist's contribution Hideaway to the Live At Robert Johnson compilation Lifesaver Vol. 4, which was out at the end of last year – just with a slightly more dreamy and summer-ish note and probably Damiano's gift to a clear blue sky.

Damiano von Erckert's EP Pete is released on Aus Music on July 8th, 2021.

Coming off the fresh release of Oma Nata's LP The Discovery, Portuguese imprint Discotexas have now turned their well-trained ears to DJ Vibe for a three-track EP titled Da Lapa. Considered by many as the the most sought after and well known of the Portuguese DJ’s, DJ Vibe has been involved in the launch of the most important clubs both at home and Internationally, including a ten year residency at Lisbon’s Lux Frágil, coinciding with his involvement in the Acid House explosion taking place in London at the time.

For his debut on Discotexas, DJ Vibe has put together a release that's packed with a stellar selection of house tunes that really showcases the rich history of dance music he hails from. One of those tracks happens to be "We Can," which is a song that centers itself around a deep, tribal feel that's drenched in percussion, echoing claps and reverb-soaked melodic lines. Staying true to his name, DJ Vibe manages to create quite "the vibe" with this one, putting together an original that has future anthem written all over it!

Da Lapa is set to come out later this week on April 5th.

Massimiliano Pagliara is a true powerhouse! Off the back of his third full-length album endeavour and the launch of his own Funnuvojere Records, the Berlin-based DJ and producer continues to thrive and broaden his already comprehensive list of accomplishments. Titled "Nothing Stays In One Place For Long", his first EP release for Permanent Vacation displays the perfect symbiosis between man and machine, offering a glimpse into the Panorama Bar resident's vast production capabilities.

From blissful balearic house and spacey dub techno to acid driven disco stylistics, Massi continues to transcend boundaries in trademark fashion. And although nothing truly stays in one place for long, his timeless approach towards music stays closely and unmoved in our midst. Big TIP!

Dutch duo Tunnelvisions strip things back with a hypnotic bassline on Budakid’s WALKMAN Remix.
Gerd Janson dips ZEUS by the wonderfully wordly Swiss collective Sirens Of Lesbos into his cauldron of ‘80s Italo disco synth wizardry (licensed via Sirens Of Lesbos).
Panthera Krause transforms THE AMERICAN by french artists O.N.O &  Jabberwocky into a high-enery, italy-disco dancefloor weapon. 
Biesmans pushes the button marked ‘Full Italo’ and sets the feel-good dial to ‘11’ on his spunky remix of CIAO by Enduro Disco, pitching wiggling bass arpeggios against triumphant chords, deft ‘80s drums and spine-tingling melody. 
Osunlade’s Yoruba Soul mix of HIGH TOWER by James Curd is typically classy, stripping things back down to a soulful lilt with shimmering synth arps and tumbling bongos decking out a succinct, warm, beautiful arrangement.
Enduro Disco’s LUV ME MORE balances tumbling percussive elements with a sexy bass throb and a bouncing, delicate synth line to beautiful effect.
Original Panoramabar resident, Robert Johnson and Permanent Vacation recording artist Masssimilano Pagliara provides a masterful rework of STREET VIOLENCE by swedish artist NEAT, cooking up a flurry of melodic beauty.
French dance music royalty Yuksek amps up the bass funk on his remix of MODERN DANCE by O.N.O, slides in some gentle acid tones and generally pumps the whole thing up. 
GOOD TIMES ROLL by dutch duo T.U.R.F. builds a foundation of chunky beats around some sweet jazz-funk vibes, with dashes of sax and clavinet interpersing the piledriver bassline.
IT IS U by NEAT echoes the deepest of classic progressive house with its plaintive feel, building through bobbing arpeggios and crystalline chimes while a chugging Italo disco-esque groove pushes it forward.   
TRY A LITTLE HARDER by Enduro Disco rocks a spacey disco groove where descending, detuned bass notes tumble over delayed string hits and hypnotic motifs.
GET READY by Phonk D teases with warped piano before unleashing a loose funk b-line and dubby vocal snippets.
DANCING IN HONG KONG by Romain FX provides a madcap end to the EP, a cute little ‘80s electro-funk jam where jaunty keys, organ bass and a little city pop vibe rub up against each other.
All in all this is a great eclectic dance compilation by one of the top deephouse labels out there. Too bad you could not enjoy the music in the club.
