Two producers, a French and a Mexicano, who are living in two different cities in France have been composing an EP together. The guys have never crossed paths, and have still yet to meet in person. We are talking about Kubebe from Lille and Leonor from Tournus. The love that they have in common for each other’s music forged their desire for this collab to happen. The Midnight Man EP was created using a Ping Pong process, taking about two weeks. The result is a beautiful 80’s driven EP including one slower and one uplifting original as well as two splendid remixes by German synth master Lauer and the Swedish Elfenberg duo from Stockholm. What a package!

Tracklist:

1. Kubebe & Leonor - Midnight Man 
2. Kubebe & Leonor - Nightcrawl
3. Kubebe & Leonor - Midnight Man (Lauer Remix)
4. Kubebe & Leonor - Nightcrawl (Elfenberg Remix)

Rigopolar - Inversus Totalis EP
BUY LINK: https://rigopolar.bandcamp.com/album/inversus-totalis
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.

Summer Nights

Exclusive Zoé Zoe 'My Personal (Dulcinea Del Topos)'

After Dominik Marz's & David Koch's four tracker on Huntleys + Palmers' sub-label Belters it's about time to release another belly dance belter, which steps out of the 'Ghost Trance's shadow. Zoé Zoe's new EP, Belters022, does just that and contains four exquisite takes the (dance) floors and DJs have been eager to play/ hear for a moment. Since 'Kalista' has been featured on the label's Dekmantel podcasts a while back and already caused some stir amongst the scene, the EP did not seem to be ready for its immediate release until 'My Personal (Dulcinea Del Topos)' arrived. The disco-ish cut is the kind of track that spreads those ' instant moments of love' on the floor, the good vibes everyone's ready to hear after having rocked off the your dancing shoes' sole. 'My Personal (Dulcinea Del Topos)' basically unites all the ingredients that are needed to move your waistline once more to the bass line; a basic loop with few pads make up the track's backbone and is enriched with several further synths and vocals as wells as short 'filter'-rides that turn the track from the Lithuanian producer to a continuous blissful ride into the (end of the) night. 

Zoé Zoe's EP 'Zoé Zoe' will be released on Belters on November 29th, 2019.

A Story of Italo Disco, Indie Dance, Slow Motion, New Wave, Breakbeat

Release date: Feb 21st
Pre-order: www.beatport.com/release/istanbul…-facette/2852869

Who is Bozart? Honestly, after listening to this ep we really wanna know... For his/her first release, we can confirm that the mysterious producer has hit the spot...

"Istanbul à Facette - orignal mix » is addictive and intoxicating - an undulating, synthesizer-heavy affair that sits somewhere between the early 80’s electronic disco and the kind of psychedelic, Middle Eastern-inspired indie dance.

No doubt that Bozart has some strong musical references, for proof the "Nightcall mix" that strongly refers to his New Wave and cold wave influences. Regarding the remixes, we are glad to welcome the Italian finest, Musumeci with a reconstruction mix that pimp the original version to make it more perfect for club use.

Our founders, Melokolektiv & Konvex & the Shadow close this release with a great remix built around a heavy and hypnotic bassline. The remix plays with the Arabic vocal, adds a catchy melody and presents some percussion that highlights the breakdown.

Already supported by Joakim, David Mayer, Jennifer Cardini, Jimi Jules, Pablo Fierro...

Catalogue No.: WS039
Release-Date: 14.09.2020

Lone Comet is the first collaboration EP between Daniel Monaco and Shubostar the two met during 2019 Amsterdam Dance Event, spent little time at Danielʼs Studio in an isolated place right outside Amsterdam where they started to jam, soon after Shubostar left to continue her tour but their work didnʼt stop since the tracks took shape in the very same place where they started as jams, a constant communication between the two artists was the key to create a balance between their styles in order to make an EP that speaks out for both Daniel Monacoʼs Basslines & Sharp Drums and Shubostarʼs deep cosmic spirit. 

To enrich this collaboration and friendship no one better than common friend and powerful producer Freudenthal of Pardon Moi could have been asked to come in the picture contributing with a
marvellous remix of the track called “Disco Star Machine” extra fire power is given by the amazing Spanish produces Parissior which masterfully remixed “Lone Comet”.

Lone Comet EP [WS039]

PREMIERE: Daniel Monaco & Shubostar - Disco Star Machine (Freudenthal Remix) [Wonder Stories]

https://linktr.ee/gouranga
Beyond The Struttosphere is a new collaboration between Leo Strutt (Strutt Bros DJs) and Ben Chetwood (Flying Mojito Bros, Damian Lazarus’s Ancient Moons) aimed at channelling their considerable musical production experience and boundless love of cosmic dark disco. Their first track, New Frontier, was self-released late in 2019 and is a slow-burning chug through the cosmos, littered with spacey vintage synth motifs and crunchy power chords. It found much acclaim among Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnson’s A Love From Outer Space online fraternity, and was featured in The Juan Mclean’s (DFA Records) recent contribution to Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Space mix series. The original is given a makeover by K-Effect, a stalwart of the dark disco scene. His take meanders down a progressive cosmic wormhole with driving basslines and trippy synth riffs that drive the tune to its spaced-out finale. 

The boys are back with a new offering on Gouranga Music, Rolling Thunder, a faster, more forthright dancefloor-orientated affair that means business. Complete with gnarly arpeggiator riffs, swirling psychedelic delay lines, a trippy vocal sample borrowed from Platoon, and their now trademark driven guitar power chords. The title track has been given the remix treatment by two aficionados of the scene, firstly the Mexican dark disco wizard Mufti turns up the heat, beefs up the bass, and dials the chug up to 11 to deliver a solid dancefloor destroyer. Cosmic disco legend James Rod delivers a second remix that strips the track right back to its core elements resulting in a minimal slow burner filled with dirty analogue electronics that builds up like a pressure cooker as the track progresses towards its conclusion. The EP finishes with a third remix by the in-house label crew, Gouranga Clan, which reimagines the track as a driving interstellar trip that is sure to spin out a few right-minded partygoers!

Beyond The Struttosphere - Rolling Thunder

When it comes to Nu Disco, there is absolutely no doubt Spa In Disco is considered one of the most notable labels of the European scene. Now, the same competence big boss Fran Deeper (SXDNS189) has always used to curate his respected imprint will be put to good use in his new project: Boite Music aims to pursue a different sonority, influenced by the dark side of different kinds of electronic music, from peak time Indie Dance to obscure Synthwave or slow and deep Balearic chuggers. A fresh, serious, and modern approach to the club heart: The dance floor.

For the third release of the newcomer, Fran gathered an interesting line-up of artists: AINZ, Juan Soto, Tony Disco (SXDNS111), G. Zamora, and Lafrench Toast. We chose the latter’s contribution to review and couldn’t be any happier. The Colombian DJ and producer brought his House, Nu Disco, Alternative Rock, New Wave, Synthpop, and Techno influences together and delivered a hell of a track to the compilation. “Cosmic Arena” is groovy and dark, intense and melodic, energetic and trippy... In sum, it accomplishes the mission of a great tune: It triggers (good) emotions, sensations, and impressions. Too bad it cannot be played out loud in a packed club at the moment, but do yourself a favour and keep it in your repertoire until you have the opportunity. You will not regret it!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Juno Download page of the label: https://www.junodownload.com/labels/Boite+Music/

PREMIERE146 // Lafrench Toast - Cosmic Arena

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.
