2.Shubostar - Jigsaw

Swedish label When Disco Goes Wrong, curated by local heroes Mindbender and Högt I Tak (SXDNS179), features seasoned DJ and producer Pawel Kobak for its 13th release. No remixes this time, only originals– and extremely well-produced originals, we’d say. It was a tough mission to choose one to premiere/review. In his “BuzzBuzz” EP, Pawel showcases his ability to bring together his (many) influences, delivering an interesting concoction of soundscapes. Deep, Progressive, and Classic House elements combined with shards of Trance and Techno, that’s what we found when were getting familiar with the EP.

The chosen one, “Deep Sea Creatures”, despite its aquatic-inspired title, enchants with an enticing cosmic atmosphere. Presenting a restless minimalistic synth lead, the theme reaches its zenith when the gorgeous Bizarre-Inc-meets-Marshall-Jefferson-inspired piano line takes the stage, providing an “oh yes, right there, this is it!” moment.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://whendiscogoeswrong.bandcamp.com/

Exclusive: E-dward! - Zouc

After two singles on Introspection Recordings Tuscany's secret weapon Edoardo Scarpellini better known under his artist alias E-dward! releases his digital debut album A Simple Mistake on the label. Known for his preference for old-school-sounds to reinterpret newly and in his own way E-dward!'s music has always covered various genres and styles. Consequently A Simple Mistake is a potpourri of Edoardo's influences and at the same time a journey into the artist's musical diversity. Altogether his album contains seven original tracks and a remix for the title track, which comes from Federico Grazzini. The nine-tracker closes with Zouc, a rather techno-driven piece with a creaking vintage sounding bass- and a deep and touching synth-line that make the track a graceful ending of the LP leaving the listeners emotionally affected.

E-dward!'s album A Simple Mistake was released on Introspection Recordings on April 8th, 2022.

Exclusive: Charles Webster - I Wonder Why (Charles Webster's 'Still Wondering' Mix)

Two years after the release of Charles Webster's album Decision Time, which was praised equally by critics and musicians, the British artist delivers three new mixes for one of the album's stand-out tracks I Wonder Why. Besides Atjazz taking on remix duties, and a musical approach from Nowism, Charles himself reworked the track to give it an even darker note accentuating the track's message by going without a continuous bass line and emphasizing on sounds, which perfectly go with the spoken vocals. Webster proves once again that you can create House music without its ordinary features and basically approves what the press already said: "There's almost no House music here, though it still runs as a hidden pulse through the record." 

Charles Webster's I Wonder Why Mixes are out on Miso Records.
