I Feel It (DJ Haus Remix)

Down & Twist [VTLZM001]

After a foray into Bass Music under the pseudonym Dun Dun, the captain of Extended Records returns to the breaks and this time with his foot on the throttle! “Paranóico” is an EP composed of two Jungle- influenced tracks, deeply imbued with the spirit of rave. Booming 808s, acid lines, edgy breaks, rave stabs… and vocals from an anonymous Kuduro MC! An explosive mix always around 160BPMs!

“Bateu Bué” insists on a 4/4 beat and a progressive acid line that opens up as the theme develops. Meanwhile, a vocal in Portuguese announces that “Ele voa! [He flies!]” Who is he? You ask yourselves. Answer: “O mais louco do planeta! [The craziest man on the planet!]”

“João Botelho (O Melhor Bailarino do Mundo [The Best Dancer In The World])” is a song whose title pays homage to the most iconic dancer on Portuguese dance floors. Junglish madness, with vocals ripped from an also iconic Youtube video and a distorted 808 driving the adventure. “Ele é louco! [He’s crazy!]” Shouts a voice. “O melhor bailarino do mundo! [The best dancer in the world!] Names another one. Diogo must be crazy for this mad crossbreed! Now, the best dancer in the world, that one, we all already know who he is.

These tracks are joined by two remixes from two emerging talents on the Portuguese scene. Mandacaru signs a remix of “Bateu Bué” transforming it into a kind of Ambient Jungle dream, without any intention of recollecting the OST of Unreal Tournament 2004, produced with a mastery and elegance that is not abundant nowadays.

Carolina Miragaia, on the other hand, time stretches the breaks present in “João Botelho (O Melhor Bailarino do Mundo)”, extracting a jazzy and downtempo version from it… But this is only halfway through the song, since she immediately returns to the original speed of them to show us that she also knows what to do with breaks at 160BPMs. In the background, the vocals remain distant, reaching us filtered between many reverbs and delays.

Two remixes that take us back to vague memories of raves, with a kind of nostalgia for those who have never stepped foot on the dance floors where those took place. Without a doubt, two names to take into account for the future of Portuguese electronic music.

PREMIERE: Diogo - João Botelho (O Melhor Bailarino do Mundo) (Carolina Miragaia Remix) [Discos Extendes]

Subsai - Blue Light

Pre-order: https://toothrust.bandcamp.com/album/jump-discontinuity

London-based artist @tooth-rust makes her @all-centre-504822953 debut with 'Jump Discontinuity', delving deeper into the fringes of club experimentation with four warped, overdriven tracks that fuse grime, breaks and twisted techno sounds into raw, unpredictable forms.

'Tecque' leans into splintered dub percussion and cascading breakbeats - perfectly executed breaks careen around the mix as the track builds to a trippy, atmospheric middle section with warped vocals and an earworm melody.

Buenos Aires-based platform Sonôsfera teams up with Berlin’s Danzee and EX:IN | IN:EX to present 'Music For Horses I & II', the latest vinyl release from Argentinian sound artist Primeiro...A standout moment from the release is the slowed-down version of 'The Appearance' - a besotted medley of rearranged harp chords, warped synths, and micro-glitch drum patterns. The result is a a lofty composition of sublime ambiance.
