Exclusive: DJ Blasy - Radici Aeree

From the banks of the Arno river it's Florentine artist Filippo Blasi Foglietti, better known under his artist moniker DJ Blasy, who kickstarts Planet Sundae's 2021 with a (fictional) musical description of the future as his new EP Quantasoma is set in a world where the ice caps have melted and the sea level has risen. Blasi's six tricker portrays this situation and the emerging new surrounding due to the change the world underwent. So with each track the listener can literally dive into this (brave) new world and the setting explore it's fascinating flora and fauna in a musical way and imagine this natural partly dystopian outlook on the future. Radici Aeree, the B1 one of the EP, takes one to a place where the its unclear or indifferent what or who communicates with each other but the way how – bleeping chords seemto interact in an own language with each other adding a sci-fy-esque note to the yet seemingly organic track – possibly it's nature or humans who have adapted to their new surrounding who interact. However, it could be anything and anyone. But it definitely has the DNA of music – that's in the 'aeree'.

DJ Blasy's EP Quantasoma will be released on Planet Sundae on April 15th, 2021.

EXCLUSIVE: DJ Blasy - Radici Aeree [Planet Sundae]

The sky was a soft delicate shade of blue but that didn't stop it from falling upon them. Where had the rain come from? Why was it here on today of all days? As they walked upon the shore, looking out upon the splashes atop the ocean and the soft waves which rolled in against the sandy beach, they held one another's hands. Perhaps this would be the last time, for soon they would be long gone from here and all that would be left might be the remnants and puddles of a day lost in time. 

Mark E is a bit of a UK legend if you will, we don't say that lightly. For over fifteen years he has been producing music which has delighted and intrigued dancefloors the world over, he is infamous for weaving samples throughout his work like a rich tapestry and his music is reminiscent of the golden era of house, funk and disco in which the dancer was king. This new EP is forthcoming on 18437.

British producer Andy Ash is on a roll! His recent release for Quintessentials slaps hard and not to mention output on such respected labels as Sheffield’s Moment Cinetique, Chicago’s Still Love 4 Music, New York’s On The Prowl and Sydney’s People Must Jam. Andy Ash tracks always have this wonky edge to them which make his music stand out in the crowd and we’re pleased to welcome him back for his third release on Delusions entitled the Tiawo EP.

Kicking off this four track EP, the title track goes deep into early Chicago house territory calling to mind those incredible drum machine and synth workouts on Trax. Stripped back to just the driving 707 groove and chiming digital synths this punchy warehouse jam is just the track for those heady hours where the dance floor becomes suspended in time and the dancers are locked into the unfaltering groove.

Next up Strictly Pins goes for a minimal approach with shuffling drums, moody Detroit Rhodes chords, bass and..... that’s about it. But it grooves hard!

Burger treads a similar rhythmic and sonic path but with added trippy factor coming from a completely twisted vocal sample which is warped, cut up and processed for maximum freak-effect. Just a little insight into the mind of a madman which is both quite fun and disturbing in equal measures.

Closing out the EP we have Brother which goes for a slightly more conventional deep house sound with syncopated stabs, rolling bassline and swinging drums.

‘Nelson of the East’ delves into new territory with this release; venturing into a new sonic landscape with a nod towards towards the club. However - the complex, percolating rhythmic flavours that have stood out in his previous productions remain at the forefront of all 3 tracks on this EP. 

The track, ‘Sub Erotic’ encapsulates this new stripped back yet sophisticated approach that has been formulated for this EP. 

A sparse arrangement leads to several meticulously crafted layers that interplay with one another throughout the entirety of the track - resulting in a simple yet absorbing outcome. 

The funk laden bassline underpins the body of the track providing a simple yet effective groove that’s oh so easy to lock into, whilst the almost metallic drenched percussive element add an ever-morphing layer of ear candy above. 

As in many of his previous releases, ‘Nelson of the East’ gives a nod to a host of non-western drum elements, patterns, and sequences that result in a dynamic yet organic rhythm that contribute to his truly authentic, creative and unique sound.

‘Nelson of The East’ - Sub Erotic E.P [TDE01] Available May 6 on vinyl and digital.

PREMIERE: Nelson of the East - Sub Erotic

After a long process, we managed to get in touch with an Australian
four-piece that went by the name of Boxcar from 86-92, producing a lot of music ahead of its time. They’ve recently started re-issuing their songs with modern producers on remix duty and after asking Romain FX to work on a remix, it was only natural that Fauve Records
would work on a limited-edition vinyl-only release with a stellar cast.
For this edition, we have asked some of the coolest cats in the game to hand us a remix with their specific touch and an array of bangers came about. Donald’s House with a rave house-inspired remix, Fabrizio Mammarella with a more EBM/Italo touch, Jonny Rock with a dubby finger- licking-good take, and of course Romain FX with an
intergalactic voyage.

PREMIERE : Alex Who Djs - Island II

A series of cassette variations in the turmoil of the days is opened by a collective improvement of high-class Russian craftsmen — VA Spazio Invasore Vol. 1.
The tape custom is fully equipped with collective images in the spirit of its time. Two sides come together: day and night, light and twilight. The rhythmic in-depth intro sets the pace with a touch of space disco, which is periodically warmed up by retrospective Indian chants.

A more dense continuation falls into the rut of modernity with airy synthesizer additives. As soon as the first side crosses the equator, acid projections mixed with Italian classics and a little whimsical freshness of new disco immediately begin to sound with bright inclusions.
The clever alternate combination of the same elements with the addition of high energy switches to the B side, demonstrating a bold modern look at production. Next, a color of intensity appears with a hint of Depeche Mod and Sovietwave, giving way to trance non-trivial indie dance, and then again going into the mysterious haze of acidity.

It's time for everyone to get their hands on a copy — the collection is already on the shelves!

PREMIERE: Jackit - Breaking Dream [Spazio Label]

lola's theme - fade to gray

Multiverse by Moonlight (COD3 QR 002)

Pre-order >> https://fanlink.to/bushwa

Bristol based DJ, club promoter and producer, 
Chez de Milo, readies his debut release, and Futureboogie’s first release of 2021, with the ‘Bushwa’ EP.  Smagghe & Cross (AKA Ivan Smagghe and Rupert Cross) join the party with an epic Version of the title track.

On ‘Bushwa’, warming CR-78 drums initiate a bubbling blend of groaning pads, melodic keys and gated vocals as Chez de Milo crafts a solemn yet addictive 5am moment.  Smagghe & Cross stretch things out over ten minutes with their tantalising Version of ‘Bushwa’ that quite literally features a commercial break midway before motoring back up to chugging speed.  Cosmically charged this most definitely is!

Elsewhere on this prolific debut release, ‘Mantella’ features a smorgasbord of spacey riffs, splashy drums and idiosyncratic vocals, whilst ‘Golden Ratio’ wraps things up with an esoteric piece of bleepy, ambient house that is designed to feed your mind as much as for your feet.
