FREE CALL #12 : Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On (Gumm Ft Sassafrass Edit)

Free Download : https://bit.ly/3wSLrlq


Over the last ten years, Gumm graduated from being an active promoter hosting renegade parties in obscure public spaces to performing at Melbourne's biggest festivals, including Let Them Eat Cake, Pitch Music & Arts and smalltown. As co-founder of Melbourne brand Darklove, he hosted international acts The Drifter and Damon Jee to go with regular bookings supporting Maceo Plex, DJ Koze, Jennifer Cardini, Stephan Bodzin, Job Jobse, Ben Klock, ANNA, Folamour, Mind Against and more.

Not only is he regular in Melbourne clubs (Revolver Upstairs, Bourke Street Courtyard and Glamorama to name a few), but recent performances at Melbourne's leading festivals earmarked him as an act for the bigger stage. At the end of 2020, he tasted his first interstate booking when he was flown to Byron Bay to headline a 2021 NYE event.

His recent debut single "Struck", released on Berlin-based Ombra International, the in-vogue label run by indie-dance maestro Curses, served as a crucial entry point into the global scene. The single is a highly infectious dance cut designed to suck you into its dark disco inferno, catching the attention of the underground scene's leading players. With his recent sold-out headline show selling over 500 tickets, Gumm is well situated to be at the Melbourne forefront of a new, compelling global sound with roots in genres like nu-wave, indie-dance and nu-disco. 

About The edit : " Sassafras (aka. Josh my housemate) and I were returning from buying groceries and he asked what I thought about editing Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On. We had spoken about writing some music together so it was a perfect chance to have a play. Sass' love for the original was contagious and I soon became attached myself. The process was incredibly enjoyable and the result is now one of my favourite projects."

FREE CALL #12 : Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On (Gumm Ft Sassafrass Edit)

Berlin’s Dina Summer (@dinasummer) announce their long-awaited debut album Rimini as they drop the title track and lead single on Audiolith (@audiolith).

Dina Summer is a collaborative project of producer Kalipo (@kalipo-1)and DJ-producer couple Local Suicide (@localsuicide). Local Suicide is Greek native Dina P., one of the first female DJs in Thessaloniki before moving to Berlin, where she met her husband and the other half of Local Suicide. The powerhouse couple made a name for themselves releasing music on labels such as Eskimo Recordings, Lumière Noire and Ombra and have played a crucial part in the rise of the dark disco scene.

Meanwhile, Kalipo recently released his critically acclaimed fourth long player on KI Records and is part of the electro-punk band Frittenbude. Here he brings techno undertones to this unique project. Since 2019 the trio have been working together on a special blend of late 90’s electro with elements of 80’s disco and new wave. Their first EP on Iptamenos Discos received widespread praise and received massive support from German radio alongside plays from The Hacker, Digitalism, and Arnaud Rebotini.

This distinctive new album’s sound comes from two synthesisers and one microphone. Pounding disco beats under rattling bass sequences. It's a sound with roots in Italo disco classics, new wave and punk combined with electroclash of the noughties but now ready for summer 2022 from the beach to the club.

Edgy beats meet striking melodies as perfectly poppy hooks are carried by Dina's unique voice on cuts like 'Mars', and fast, urgent grooves like 'Uranos' offer up fine synth craft. 'Revenge' blends cold revenge fantasies with an 80's inspired electro-pop sound reminiscent of feel-good movies of the era without falling into cliché. 'Zig Zag' races on rugged but colourful disco drums, and 'Mirage' has an intoxicating synth lead with flashes of cosmic brilliance.

'Wunderbar' is a heavy, off-balance stomper with German vocals and warped synths, and the majestic 'Amore' twitches your synapse with its pixelated synths and fast bass. 'Crocodile' is a giant disco pumper with edgy synth and vocal energy. The final and title track conjures up lazy summer vibes on a synthesiser amongst the palm leaves, with Dina's beguiling vocals adding extra escapist magic.
With this brilliant new album, Dina Summer breaks with conventions and catapults us directly into a new decade of dark disco. The album will be available from 15th July with lead single ‘Rimini’ out now.

Estrenamos el nuevo remix del madrileño Arkademode para Farloh

Es sabido por algunos la inmensa energía de los tracks del madrileño Arkademode. Llenos de elementos arpeggiados, melodías rozando el ítalo y unos beats tremendos y progresivos que dan como resultado un remix estupendo al productor de Londres... A la venta desde este Viernes 24 de Junio.

PREMIERE: Farloh - Spell On My Dance (Arkademode Remix) [Espacio Cielo]

Roam alumni Silicodisco returns to Roam with Spanish compatriot Xácome with three original tracks to form the Estas Loco EP. All three tracks bring a strong psychedelic post-wave sound forward, starting with Rusty Grass - a low-slung gritty yet dreamy offering. The title track Estas Loco carries the stripped-down 80s synth themes found throughout the EP. Mind Panic fits perfectly taking the vibe further with its rolling bass and ethereal soundscapes. Rounding out the EP is an excellent remix from Chinaski.

* Additional Writing and Production by Stefan Haag for Rusty Grass (Chinaski Remix)

From passion and friendship was born @nouveaufutur
@neurotiker and @betty-b-69  are passionate about music, and their influences come from the 80’s.
Night owls, as they both describe themselves best. Their similar interest in music led them to collaborate by founding Nouveau Futur. Despite the distance that separates them as Neurotiker is based in Rio de Janeiro in, Brazil and Betty in Lyon in, France.

DJ since 1999, Neurotiker has developed his own style of music production, that ranges from techno to disco always with a retro feel to his music. He produced music since 2010 on labels such as Ritmo Fatale, Mélopée Records, Weirdos Records, Ulla Records, Polari Records...
He’s also founding his own label, OGIO Records.

Betty worked in the night life from the end of the 80's until 2005 in the trendiest clubs and bars of Lyon, as barmaid, party organizer, or bar manager. In 1995, she moved behind the decks and learnt to mix on vinyl. Even after leaving the night life, she returned to mixing utilizing the new
technological tools. She delivers club-oriented dance mixes tinged with indiedance and dark disco, while adding some new wave.

PREMIERE > Moo Moonster & Freudenthal - Remembrance Dance (Original Mix)[MELOPEE RECORDS]

A Story of Italo Disco, Indie Dance, Slow Motion, New Wave, Breakbeat ...is now starting.

INCOMING : Theodora - Twist In My Sobriety (David Shaw and The Beat Remix) #TheodoraProject

Release date : 2022-11-25

Buy : https://fanlink.to/TwistTheodora

French alt-pop talent Theodora is still riding high off the success of her Too Much For One Heart album from last year. It saw her distill her love of cold electronic sounds, r&b and contemporary hip hop with her knack for catchy pop hooks and warmly human lyrics. She has done the same on various EPs since debuting in 2016 and is known for telling evocative personal stories.

Theodora heard the original 'Twist In My Sobriety' on a cassette compiled by her aunt of her favourite songs from her teenage years. It struck a chord with her so she now revisits the melancholic hit with gusto, taking the delicate melody into danceable territory as she whispers the lyrics over a newly relentless beat. The tune has been mixed by Etienne Caylou and intertwines dance, new wave and techno in a style that is Theodora's own. Her voice is the centrepiece, arousing emotion and a furious desire to move. The tune comes with a video by SuperFeat, who has been a visual collaborator on all of Theodora's latest releases.

Giving Theodora's tune an even more club-like feel, British producer and musician David Shaw and the Beat adds his own remix. It is a pulsating dark disco cut with chugging drums and snappy hits. The arpeggiated synth keeps you locked while more dazzling cosmic chords bring colour next to Theodora's intimate and alluring vocal.

INCOMING : Theodora - Twist In My Sobriety (David Shaw and The Beat Remix) #TheodoraProject

One of Stockholm’s finest exports, Elfenberg, arrive at Bordello with four slices of synthesizer goodness. The duo open with “Forever Alone”. A cruising arpeggiator steers its way through glistening snares, rolling kicks and classic italo vocals. Night falls in the jungle “Conga Coronation”. The treetops bristle with birdsong, thickets of bongos, toms and rain sticks lead a path to dawning melodies. A wonderfully textured percussive piece, the track is intricately carved and demonstrates the diversity and depth of Elfenberg. The disco dipped futurism of “Sphere Of Missing Out” follows. Echoes of “Conga Coronation” rhythms are countered by beaming synth bars and vocoder lyrics with the Swedish pair pushing for the floor. “Cosmic Tribune” is the curtain close. Astral chords, spiralling key shifts and incising drums coalesce in this space inspired finale. A truly stunning debut from this talented partnership.

INCOMING : Brandski - Buona Sera (Original Mix) #Mélopée
BUY : https://melopeerecords.bandcamp.com/album/moonrider-lp
Release date : 2023-01-25

His previous release on Mélopée with the single « Arena » was the occasion to announce Brandski’s debut album. It was also a preview of the musical themes he will develop.
The owl is really proud by the trust established with the artist. We hope to give Brandski the visibility he deserves !
The challenges Brandski sets, was to merge his broad influences from Disco, EBM and Electro in a united work. He perfectly matches theses vintage fields to more contemporary and future territories. Like an orchestra conductor, he develops melodics rises, supported by chords on top on cutted bass line.
The whole package is made to drive the listener on his journey, from calm and mental songs to brute and dancefloor patterns. To use the words of the artist : “the purpose of the album is to carry the listener, from a point to another, from introspection to self-surrender.”
We are also happy to have Austher on board, another incredible french artist ! He joins Brandski on the track « Disco Dance » and give it a melodic touch !
Austher will come back soon with some good tunes.

We’re very happy to welcome on board JackWasFaster for our 12th release at LATIDO.
JackWasFaster, born and based in Madrid, has spent the last few years contributing to the effervescent Spanish scene with releases/remixes on Rotten City, Factor City, Latido or Playground. He has played live/dj sets at Sonar, FIB, Brunch, Mad Cool, Paraiso, Mondo or Razzmatazz. His tracks have been played and supported by many artists that we admire such us Andrew Weatherall, Massimiliano Pagliara, Curses, Terr, Echonomist or Mugwump to name a few.
In this new Ep, The South, Manu Cachero shows some of his main hallmarks. Thrilling synths, intoxicating and unexpected melodies, and a cosmic and synthetic envelope that teleports you to a new dimension. From the detuned and intricate synth lines of the sparkling title track, to the acid rush of “Silver Ships”, to end up on the killer and mental bassline of “It Started In Jamaica”.
Along with the three original tracks on the EP, there are two amazing remixes by the unmistakable Freudenthal, and the always forceful Señora, to make The South a magnificent Ep.

JackWasFaster - The South (Freudenthal Remix) [Latido]

"I am a total 80’s kid, and I remember when the song came out, and I heard it on the radio. My uncle grabbed me and spun me around to the sound, and from then on, this song stuck with me until now. Whenever I hear the original track, I sing along and spin myself around for the fun of it. I love the happy vibe to it and the very positive driving power of it. With the re-edit, I wanted to keep the original vibe and the key elements to make it still very clearly recognizable over the time of the track, revealing the main vocals rather late, teasing the listener and sending him on a mind journey.” The track was produced with the support of Julian Laping aka https://soundcloud.com/toneaffair

While spinning right round, https://soundcloud.com/st-ahler aims to spread joy by creating lofty and floating disco & indie dance sounds. Moving from Singapore to Berlin in 2014, Stahler discovered the decks in an escalated night of synth spaceships and black matter gravity forces. Shortly after, he began playing DJ sets at intimate events & house parties before he started to make hoofers hover at bigger parties and events, ranging from art exhibitions to clubs and festival stages. His melodic indie dance sets are appreciated for their danceable yet wobbly and deep sounds infused with tasteful influences from the lively 80s, banging Italo Disco and solid dark disco tunes, covering wide electronic frequency terrains.
