It was easy to give your entire self to work, to let it dictate your life and take over your every waking thought. Switching off was an achievement in itself, some people weren't able to do it, no matter how hard they tried. How idyllic it would be to daydream the day away and let your imagination take you somewhere else; how beautiful it would feel to let your mind be free of commitments and instead just float, float away... 

Milanese duo Eternal Love, AKA Edo and Fede, have quickly made a name for themselves through their joyful DJ sets which connect the dots between Balearic, disco and dusty classic house and breakbeat - check their recent mix for us to hear the vibes for yourself. Always bringing that little bit of soul to their musical endeavours, no matter the genre or style, the pair now translate this feeling to their debut release, a four track EP for Mike Who's Planet Trip Records. Listening to their sets and shows, the music on Altar is exactly what you'd expect the pair to create - it's packed with blissed-out Balearic, smooth street soul and acid-soaked house, best listened to in the sun with a spritz or natural wine in hand, of course.

Robotnick's Archives:
Active on the music scene for about 30 years, Alexander
Robotnick has produced an impressive amount of music.
Starting with ¿Avida¿ the first band he put together
,whose early 80s unreleased tracks have been recently
published by Creme Organization) to the latest digital
releases by his label ¿Hot Elphant Music¿.
Being a musicaholic , Robotnick has been stacking a
huge amount of supports: tapes, floppy disks, dats,
CD-roms, hard-disks . Last year, as he turned 60, he
decided to put some order into his archives , getting rid of
much of them but saving some projects that hadn¿t got
to the stage of being released but contained some
interesting ideas that he deemed worth developing and
completing. This is how the idea of Robotnick¿s Archives
came about.
Starting from December 2011, every mont h Elephant
Muisc is releasing a digital EP containing from 3 to 5
tracks , under the title ¿Robotnick¿s Archives¿. It¿s a
production that embraces different styles, from disco to
techno, as the author never identified with a given
genre for good. In some cases these tracks are actually
re-works, in other cases they are true remixes. With a
better equipped and more professional home-studio
(A.R. recently moved from his countryside hideout to an
urban bunker..) and thanks to the collaboration of
Tommaso Bianchi , an extremely talented
sound-engineer, who¿s been recently mastering A.R,¿s
tracks , Robotnick is convinced that , lost in the darkest
corners of his studio, there are indeed some forgotten
gems worh rescueing and publishing.
Robotnick's Archives n.1 features 2 tracks; ¿Morning
Theme¿ ,
- something that could be described as
¿disco/progressive¿ although it comes in 120BPM - and
¿Undicidisco¿, the second one, in two different
versions, both echoing the Electro-house mood (123
bpm)

Recording under different aliases, the Burrell Brothers were the backbone of Nu Groove Records. This New York label started in 1987 and took inspiration from Trax Records, both musically and aesthetically. This compilation compiles the absolute best of the Burrell's output and in doing so is giving us a valuable insight to the much overlooked roots of New York house music.

The eight chapter of the infamous Slow Motion Compilation series, “Italian Dance Wave Disco Otto”, has quite some hidden gems to be discovered. Beginning with a track from Marcello Giordani DJ (half of the duo Marvin & Guy), that expresses a perfect Italian melancholic sunset (as the title also states), energetic, strong, but always poetic. Always following that “beachy” vibes we find The Caribbean House, serving a track that could last a century, and we would never mind. Electro hints mixing with deep and balearic vibes: ears glued to the headphones. Moreover, we have again Slow Motion queen, System Olympia with a track that could make even nuns sweat on the dance floor: beats and bass to die for. To close this chapter, you can pamper your ears with a angry balearic track from Gallo, not suited for the more weak hearts, that’s for sure.
