Especial is delighted to welcome Odopt back to the label, this time teaming up with Sano for a club-heavy global excursion and the vocal deep dive of Picha. A meeting of friends and collaborators across continents and years, finally presented in vocal and instrumental, as well the welcome return of label stalwart Jamie Paton with additional remix and dub to bite.

Long-time fans of Sebastian Hoyos aka Sano’s productions, seeing him release for Matias Aguayo’s Comeme and Munich’s Public Possession, Especial jumped at the chance to present Odopt’s reworkings of Sano’s oeuvre, taking vocalist’s Lolito
night-time exoticisms and offering a red-lit basement, dark room anthem.

As with all good things, time let the music ferment. The 2016 outline became a 2019 demo, first presented to the label, and emphatically embraced. With Sano returning from Barcelona to his native Columbia, replacing the world of club culture with horticulture, Odopt found their new Paris base led them to finally hit the pocket, the tribal percussion propelled by the razor-sharp snare and perfectly, more cowbell.

Who better than to request remixes than the origin of Especial, its first artist, mainstay mixer, and designer of each artwork since the label’s birth in late 2013, Jamie Paton. Having gone on to release for label peers and inspirations, ESP Institute and Multi Culti, this is a welcome return. Paton’s trademark deep dubwise is ever present, as is the exemplary programming, but now the twist of breaks in Remix form gives this EP widescreen dynamics.

The sound system stretching Dub mix rounds off, the vocals pulled back, the wobble and trembling bass, again highlight Especial’s mission, club music for the head and feet, mixing new wave with neu rave, beats with breaks, looking back but always, always moving forwards.

PREMIERE – Jaaw – Unbreakable (Olde tapes)

Atol Disks is a brand-new journey, one that doesn’t rely on many words—music speaks for itself. 

Our vision is to trace a path of coherent eclecticism and spontaneous connections, like an archipelago 
of islands tied together by invisible currents. 

No Era, No Tempo Vol. 1 embodies this idea: 
14 tracks by Italian and international artists, curated by A-Tweed and Oltrefuturo. Each track is a world of its own, yet together they form a natural weave where differences meet and converse in instinctive harmony.

Mannequin Records proudly presents Chromium - Something in the Air (The Hacker Club Mix), a thrilling reinterpretation by legendary French producer The Hacker. Originally composed by Chromium in the early ‘90s, this track is part of the Chromium Industries (1991-1992) collection—an essential archive of forward-thinking electronic music, bridging proto-techno, industrial, and EBM.

With his signature touch, The Hacker injects a darkly hypnotic energy into "Something in the Air", transforming it into a peak-time club weapon, while staying true to the spirit of the original.

Out now on Mannequin Records.

Chromium - Something In The Air (The Hacker Club Mix)

Since its inception in 2020, Italo Moderni’s energy, spirit and inspiration has been the dancefloor. The darkened bunkers of Belgium, the trembling speakers of Valencia, the warming dawn of Rimini, these influences have been the lifeblood. Solidifying this tireless effort, Mellow Bangers Vol 2 is the label’s most ambitious collection to date.
In celebration of the imprint’s fifth anniversary, fifteen artists gather with every single one united under a rallying cry. From across the globe, machinists have been drawn together to deliver a statement of acid and wave, of electro and synth with flourishes of italo. The shadowy fringes of the floor are well represented, audio artisans like Cyrk and Djedjotronic serving distorted drums and melodies dripping with menace. Brightening these tones are the likes of Lauer with his Balearic infusions or Gravedad Cinética’s otherworldly “Fake Atmosphere.” Amongst the litany of talent are musicians who have both inspired Italo Moderni as well as those who have appeared on the label. Antoni Maiovvi fits such a description, the sound sorcerer slicing beats through bittersweet bars in the immersive “Stopping Power.” Ceaselessly developing the Spanish scene, Iberian artists are rightly showcased. Madrid’s David Poziano offers the cascading luminance of “In Search of Gold”, shimmering synthlines punctuated by breathy samples and pulsing percussion. New discoveries rub shoulders with established veterans, E-Bony’s bending and undulating “Brain U.F.O.” beside rising names like Ivan Pavletsov with the steely “No Future” and DjBoeing with the beaming joy of “Cheetah.”
Mellow Bangers Vol 2 is a breathless expression of the floor. A contemporary imagining of the racing rhythms and addictive hooks of the 1980s and 1990s. Fifteen works that summarise what Italo Moderni is and will continue to be.

@credit00ratlife is still doing his thing with PUT THE FUNK BACK IN 2 TECHNO, saving you from the horrors of today’s life with a bunch of stirring tracks to dance against oppression. On his seventh EP for Uncanny Valley the Leipzig based funkster finds solace in his craft, doing what he does best. And that is to make dance music that is both undeniably catchy and blessed with an ever-surprising range of ideas and styles.

What all the tracks have in common is that they have been written by someone who is deeply committed to the roots of dance music. On top of that, he has the enviable ability to find titles that already give you a hunch of sound and message of the tracks, even before you listen to them. Be it the title track with its wild Detroit rhythms and piano sound bits or the closer YOU NEED 2 CHILL, a still highly danceable ode to 90s chill out floors. While the stomping BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT gets use of Credit 00’s own voice, the chords heavy CHURCH FOR THE RENEGADES is a perfect example of inventive use of vocal samples.

All in all, it’s music you pretty much can’t help but love. Also, don’t miss a closer look at the front and back cover, which are full of references and iconographies from the history of dance music. In typical Credit 00 style, it’s a super entertaining way for the artist to give credit to a lot of his influences.

Presenting a portfolio of twitchy techno tectonics with a sharp line in corporate acumen, LDS returns to the market with a double-dose of limber futurism for PM+.
 
Stuttgart shock broker Luca Daniel Schwarz has been firing and perspiring on all cylinders since he went public around 2016. Past form for the likes of Subwax BCN and Blue Hour have all shown a deadly instinct for modern variations on the techno tradition, and he keeps pushing at the form with a fine balance between playful disruption and poker-face propulsion.
 
'Business Influencer Theme' is a jagged bolt of hi-tech soul littered with crafty edits, luminescent synth strokes and a mid-section pep talk to get you match fit for the midnight power lunch. 'Portal Merge (Peak Mix)' leans towards the growling, subtly emotive brand of electro pioneered by the Weatherall-Tenniswood dream team, bolstered with modernist sound design flex and another canny helping of sliced-up word salad.
 
Forecasting at the intersection of social commentary and cutting-edge club clout with devastating clarity, LDS packs a lot into his wry, laser-focused motivational workouts. The outlook is weightier than a hedge fund manager's bloated bar tab.

I kept getting asked this question. "How does the Edge compare to the DFAM?" — had to answer them, right?

(And trolls kept saying "ah the Edge just sounds worse than the DFAM"...)

This doesn't actually pitch them against each other. Instead, it shows that they're indistinguishable in a track. By making them collaborate in a way that is almost entirely opaque to you, where they share sounds.

Oh. This also happens to be a percussion only jam. I've made a 3 minutes radio edit for this month's RedMeansRecording  challenge, which was:

"ONLY PERCUSSION — Make something using only drums and percussion instruments, synthesized or natural, pitched or atonal."

Edge vs. DFAM Jam - Radio Edit

For over ten years, ZILLAS ON ACID (Broadzilla DJs, 100 Years of Solid Dudes) have raddened dance floors as residents of Philadelphia’s party institution Making Time. Now, they harness the Focused Totality of Their Psychic Powers for their first original offering: BACK TO THE BEAST, the debut vinyl release on 100 Years of Solid Dudes. 

Title track BACK TO THE BEAST is a conga-click slab of acid argument, a jacked-up My Life in the Bush of Ghosts for late-night early 21st century freaks. Next up, GOING INTO TRANCE offers a guided regression session into the White Hot Room, a hypnotic deep trip behind your eyes. BACK TO THE BEATS is a dank, dubby reimagining of the title track that starts as a bonus beat and ends as a dark drum rebuttal from deep within the BEAST. Finally, best boys KHIDJA (Hivern Discs, Malka Tuki, Love on the Rocks, [Emotional] Especial) reincarnate the title track as a transcendental piece of wet techno—a 9+ minute aquarian journey to the center of The Orb.

Uncanny Valley is a label from Dresden, Germany.
sub-labels: shtum Records & @credit00ratlife

https://uncannyvalley.de/dates

Starting as a label that served basically as a platform for their friends’ music in 2010, Uncanny Valley evolved into a record label that assembles acclaimed artists from the electronic music scene not only from the label’s base in Dresden but also from Germany and beyond. With a strong emphasis on the records’ artwork the label heads Philipp Demankowski, Conrad Kaden and Carl-Johannes Schulze are constantly on a mission to establish and refine the artists from the roster as well as to search for new talents. Artists as Jacob Korn, Cuthead, Credit 00, Massimiliano Pagliara, CVBox or Panthera Krause all feel at home on the label, giving them the chance to develop projects that are not only music related but can also integrate different art forms. With the two offshoots Rat Life and shtum under its belt, Uncanny Valley does not stand still to explore the full spectrum of electronic and not so electronic music from House via Disco, Hip-Hop or Ambient through to Techno. A range that can also be depicted when the three label heads come together for a DJ set as Uncanny Valley DJs.
