Rigopolar - Inversus Totalis EP

Label: Tour de Infinite 
https://soundcloud.com/rigopolar

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.

PREMIERE : Rigopolar - Purple Drive

One of Stockholm’s finest exports, Elfenberg arrive at Bordello with four slices of synthesizer goodness. The duo open with “Forever Alone”. A cruising arpeggiator steers its way through glistening snares, rolling kicks and classic italo vocals. Night falls in the jungle “Conga Coronation”. The treetops bristle with birdsong, thickets of bongos, toms and rain sticks lead a path to dawning melodies. A wonderfully textured percussive piece, the track is intricately carved and demonstrates the diversity and depth of Elfenberg. The disco dipped futurism of “Sphere Of Missing Out” follows. Echoes of “Conga Coronation” rhythms are countered by beaming synth bars and vocoder lyrics with the Swedish pair pushing for the floor. “Cosmic Tribune” is the curtain close. Astral chords, spiralling key shifts and incising drums coalesce in this space inspired finale. A truly stunning debut from this talented partnership.

Legacy EP

Alex Niggemann - Legacy

Patrice Bäumel debuts on Afterlife with two striking and successfully road-tested tracks, to be released on May 12. 

Pre-order your vinyl copy here: bit.ly/MTN-AL004

‘Glutes’ is peak-time material without being overly fast or chaotic, the energy instead coming from the transportive arrangement and emotive melodic content. The same can be said for Bäumel’s ‘Surge’ on Kompakt, an anthem in the sets of Tale Of Us last year which led to this release.

The title track rises and falls, surging with wide-sweeping synth notes and a steady rhythm to anchor the waves. An infectious refrain pulls you further in and, right on cue, the kick drum continues to beat the sweet spot. ‘Engage’ is filled with similarly subtle details, uplifting arpeggios and atmospheric reverb. Half-way through the melody bursts into life, shining brightly through the haze and creating one of those moments of release that make the Afterlife sound work so well on a dancefloor.

Tracklist:
A1: Glutes (07:29)
B1: Engage (06:36)

Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons return to Crosstown Rebels with the iconic I Found You, remixed by Black Coffee and former resident of Trouw Patrice Bäumel.

Lazarus closed his Day Zero festival in Mexico with I Found You back in January, and since then it has become one of his most requested tracks. His magical live project The Ancient Moons was first unleashed in 2014 with Lover’s Eyes (Mohe Pi Ki Najariya) and followed in 2015 by the highly acclaimed album, A Message From The Other Side, co-produced with James Ford. Since then, Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons have travelled the world with their highly immersive live show, supported Roisin Murphy on tour and played at Glastonbury festival and Melt! amongst others.

The Fader labelled The Ancient Moons “a journey into techno’s dreamiest recesses” and the four piece have been continually shrouded in mystery. Last year Lazarus and his collection of musicians retreated into the Italian countryside and started work on new and self-produced material. The Ancient Moons brings together Zulu on vocals, Ben Chetwood on electronics, and Rob Gentry on keyboards. I Found You is the first fruits of their labour. Continuing a path first started by the band’s anthemic single Vermillion, I Found You is intensely soulful, warm and paired with anthemic vocals from singer Zulu. This the first of a string of tracks from the band in 2017.

Lazarus comments: “This is the first time I've created music in a band situation and I loved every moment of it. I decided to make the new music as a collective and the four of us have created magic. The energy that we enjoyed from beginning to end of this process was electric."

Champion of the South African electronic scene Black Coffee supplies the first remix, and takes I Found You to new dimensions. This is a rare remix outing from this pioneering South African DJ. Amsterdam based Patrice Bäumel is a former resident of the now legendary Trouw and has released on Get Physical, Systematic, Diynamic, Kompakt and My Favorite Robot among others. Patrice adds complexity and takes things deeper and more atmospheric. It’s quite the package.

Label: Crosstown Rebels | Released: 28th April 2017 | Distribution: Above Board | Cat no: CRM178

Lust & Fury Edits -  Shout (Mufti Edit) [Ombra]

Rodeo Star is yet another completely realised piece of synth-disco perfection from Berlin-based New Wave Dance-Duo, Pardon Moi. The track is a powerful and memorable tune, an outstanding piece of dance music that possesses forward movement and direction, a melodic narrative and emotional arc that sets it above most of the utilitarian electro-dance sounds. ‘Rodeo Star’ is a steady yearning and cathartic moment of synth heaven, a pulsing track well-suited for any hour on the dance floor. Played by discerning selectors like Job Jobse through the last year, the single is finally available via Bandcamp now.



The formidable staying power and indelible New Wave Disco aesthetic of Pardon Moi is no minor triumph as the duo so ably embody the forgotten pop magic and capture how complex-yet-simple the music really is. The effortless agreement between unapologetic beats, lush synth-crescendos, and most critically the human voice tying it together tell of a complete universe, an instantly definable and unforgettable dance music moment. Pardon Moi flirt with discrete retro influences but are actively and uncynically proving they are incredibly modern and able practitioners of new disco. 



Given their uncanny ability to align their production and performance powers with all manner of disco subgenres and also integrate seamlessly with every type of party and dance music lineup, it comes as no surprise that Pardon Moi will join the illustrious roster of Berlin Italo Disco stalwarts Slow Motion / Wrong Era for an exclusive vinyl release dropping this month.

Mastered At The Wall Studio.

Exclusive Panthera Krause 'Road To Arcadia (Kasper Bjørke Disco Rework)'

Originally released as part of Panthera Krause's album It's A Business Doing Pleasure With You at the end of last year, two new approaches of his take Road To Arcadia are about to be released as part of Robert's, Panthera Krause's real name, next single on Riotvan. While the artist contributes a club version of Road To Arcadia himself, Copenhagener Kasper Bjørke is responsible for the second track of the single release and turns it into a hauntingly disco rework which has as much energy as Donna Summer's I Feel Love In other words Bjørke's Disco Rework simply is a continuous groover, which develops the latter due to the implementation of additional sounds throughout the track or a change of the chords right up to incorporating a so called glitch in the last part of the track. 

Panthera Krause's single Road To Arcadia will be released on Riotvan on February 14th, 2020
