~ Mézigue [France] ~

Mézigue (meaning ‘me’ in Parisian slang) is one of the rarest bird and freest spirit when it comes to the French electronic music scene. Off-the-wall leading figure of the house made in Paris, he is particularly known for breaking genre codes with ridiculous energy. Co-founder of the D.KO Records team in 2013, he acts in favor of a powerful and festive house revival alongside equally talented buddies like LB aka LABAT, Mad Rey or Paul Cut. They started as a DJ crew organizing the Keep D.KO Alive parties in local bars before quickly gaining recognition and becoming one of the top house labels in France. As a producer, he owes his early success to his banger track ‘Du Son Pour Les Gars Sûrs’ in 2016 - utterly distinctive of his personal touch: a bass-driven house with subtile deep, lo-fi and acid notes. No wonder that he got his well-deserved Boiler Room in 2019. He has been unstoppable lately and earned a residency called “Mezmère Résidence” at the iconic Rex Club where he invited top talents such as Funkineven, DMX Krew or AliA. If you are luck enough to see him play, expect a crazy oscillation of house, disco, hip-hop and drum & bass.

In this 3-year anniversary mix, he’s going back to the basics distilling a gut-wrenching deep house with pleasant acid touches from Willow or Birds of Canada. The summer season has never been so properly opened guys!

Peggy Gou’s Gudu label today launches a new annual Various Artists compilation series with Gudu & Friends Vol. 1.

Launched in 2019, Gudu opened with one of Peggy Gou’s most successful records to date, ‘Starry Night’, and has released several hit singles from Peggy since (‘I Go’, ‘Nabi’). However, Peggy’s music is only half the story with Gudu.

Since its formation, Gudu has housed music from a truly global roster of artists, including the UK’s DMX Krew and JRMS, Italy’s Hiver and Dukwa, South Korea’s Mogwaa, Indonesia’s Dea, Ukraine’s Brain de Palma, South Africa’s Riff and the USA’s Maurice Fulton. It has also hosted label showcases across Europe, and hosts its own stage at Peggy’s annual Pleasure Gardens festival.

On Gudu & Friends Vol. 1, the label presents an eight-track compilation of new music from established Gudu label artists and new faces to the label. DMX Krew, Mogwaa, Hiver, Dukwa and Brain de Palma all represent for the existing label roster, while two of South Korea’s most exciting talents Closet Yi and Salamanda contribute two very different tracks: the ravey, breaks-driven ‘Sonder’ and the wide-eyed, mallet-led ‘Mockingbird’. Finally, the First Lady of Beatdown, Lady Blacktronika, comes through with the hypnotic groove of ‘He Can Never Love You’ - a classic LB cut that gets warpy and freaky as only she can.

Each Gudu & Friends compilation will have artwork tied into the Lunar New Year. For Gudu & Friends Vol. 1, the art comes from illustrator Jin Young Choi (who also illustrates the Gudu Mix series) and reflects the Year of the Rabbit.

Tracklist:
01. Mogwaa - 11Hz
02. Hiver - Lunar
03. Salamanda - Mockingbird
04. DMX Krew - One Take
05. Dukwa - Time Out
06. Brain de Palma - Road to Tatooine
07. Lady Blacktronika - He Can Never Love You
08. Closet Yi - Sonder

Mogwaa - 11khz

Standing alongside the label regulars such as Small People, Christopher Rau and Julius Steinhoff is German producer Moomin and after turning out majestic house cuts like 'Catch A Cold', 'The Story About You' and 'Doobies' he's been firmly on our radar.

Ahead of his set at the picturesque and idyllic Meadows In The Mountains festival in Bulgaria, Moomin has delivered us a perfect accompaniment to the event taking place this weekend.

Expect 45 minutes of sublime house rollers, piano-infused lullabies and an unparrelled groove that only Moomin is capable of creating. Dreamy.

@Soela is the DJ and production alias of Elina Shorokhova, a Russia-born Berlin-based experienced pianist and vocalist who has made a hugely impactful transition into electronic music.

Having released material on such labels as Kompakt, Dial, Shall Not Fade, Lost Palms, E-Beamz, Red Ember Records, Sushitech, and others, Soela joins the ranks of Scissor & Thread for this exquisite album - Dark Portrait. 

The album opens in a typically understated manner with Unsuitable - a melancholic trip-hop adjacent track that sets the tone for the next 8 pieces. As Soela explains, “I was dealing with some very complex feelings, so I came up with this album, which helped me not to despair, to work on myself, to grow internally, and to start listening to myself. It helped me to keep sane when my country invaded Ukraine with a full scale war. It absolutely broke my heart, and music was one of my main salvations.” 

This complex mix of emotions plays out across the album with tracks that utilize her beautiful musicality (Through the Windows feat. Francis Harris and Philipp Priebe, Drowning feat. Module One) and ear for details with skittering beats, ambient soundscapes (Spirits, Lost In The Fog) and lose-yourself dancefloor moments such as the collaboration with Lawrence on February Is Not Going To Be Forever. The title track Dark Portrait combines dubby elements with affecting pads and melodic touches, while the lead single Even If I Ask You Stay delves into multiple feelings around escaping toxic situations, and battling depression. It features a powerful vocal from Soela supported by a deeply affecting arrangement. The closing track The Darkest Hour Before Sunrise brings a sense of hope and light, balancing subdued keys and strings with ethereal tones and atmospheres

Made a track using an indian, sitar sample into danceable vibe. The original sample has 11/4 feel, which I tried to blend with 4/4 to make a twist. 

Enjoy!

Following their eponymously titled 2016 arrival on Midland's Graded imprint, as well as a recent follow-up on Dark Entries, @Solitary-Dancer return to the label on which they made their debut. Once again, this three-track 12” blends electro, ambient, and acid to superb, undeniably modern effect. 

With a running time of nearly 12-minutes, the title track 'Transmitting To Heaven' is an ambitiously sweeping cut that subtly moves through its various shades, from electro and acid, to strobe-lit 90s rave.

The B-side kicks off with 'Birth of Saturn', built around an arpeggiating synth that shifts and morphs throughout the track as the intensity ascends. The 12” closes off with 'At The End Of The Corridor Of Love, A Loss', a slow burning ambient piece that is as sombre as it is cinematic.

X-Kalay are ringing in their milestone 10th release with a various artist compilation, and what a release it is. Launching only last year, the London-based imprint has put out quite a few releases already from artists such as Rudolf C, Kask and No Moon amongst others. Their sound ranges from more melodic, lo-fi sounding productions to dubbed out and downright acid-y tracks. Their 10th release features producers from three continents. Mucho Sueno from Chile, two Australians in E.Davd and Escape Artist, and finally Zurich, Switzerland-based Douala who we're premiering today.

With a couple of releases on Gnork's label Blorp, Douala has been crafting a bit of a name for himself in the lo-fi scene. Generally his productions have a more melodic flare but in this case, the A1 track Mysteries of Life strays a bit from what we've come to expect from the producer. Taking a more minimalistic and dubby approach, the single has a hypnotic air about it with an upbeat rhythm but spaced out and reverberating cosmic synths, perfect for the late night hours. This instrospective tune is not one you want to miss out on and the rest of the release is a treat as well!

PREMIERE : Douala - Mysteries Of Life

01.	Bob Lind – Cool Summer
02.	Gordon Lightfoot – Something Very Special
03.	Thorinshield – The Best Of It

Cosmic Mischief

After being absent for many months, we would like to revive our podcast series by introducing you to one of the finest artists we could ever present - Danaga! (https://soundcloud.com/danaga)
This superb producer was born and raised in one of the wildest and mysterious areas of the old continent: the region of Transylvania, in Romania, where he grew up in the analog era, studying the classic guitar and the piano and collecting music on cassettes.  The secrecy and mystique of that land is well represented in Danaga’s productions, which are beautifully displayed in the live recording. For this Mix he used Elektron Analog Keys, Hohner Pianet T, Memory Man Analog Delay, a cheap romanian Stratocaster Guitar, Kaoss Pad, PVC homemade flutes and various percussion instruments. It comes as a sort of music diary telling of the ‘transformative experience’ he went through while experimenting with those Instruments in the last years. Unlike other mixes of our series, this is not a musical journey, but rather a flow which is neither meant to lead anywhere, nor to serve a function. It is only meant to be. This intriguing concept follows the ideas of the British philosopher and writer Alan Watts, which inspired Danaga while recording the mix.

We wish you all a wonderful awakening.
