Luther Vandross - Are U Using Me (Pino Peña Edit)

Lisbon's Paraíso bring their A&R a-game once again with a stellar EP by one of the city's most beloved techno DJs - @vilmusic - and a chef's kiss remix by the one and only queen of twisted dance, @ednd from Algarve.

VIL effortlessly strikes a balance between his seasoned raver's effective ammunition approach and his penchant for freshness that has accompanied him since his early days as a dubstep DJ. Concise elegance and banging inventiveness meet in the opener Rotari, as the A2 follows with detroitian levels of class and relentlessness, all ecstatic hats, warm stabs and beautiful percussion. Ghet09 closes the A side with tom-filled jack-infused beats and smooth keys with an instant-classic quality, all offset by eerie pads cause it's techno we're gladly witnessing after all.

Anjos, the new Birmingham brings in-your-face energy in the tight drum programming and a dash of trippy, quasi-dubby melodic elements in an ode to Lisbon's tentative premier techno neighbourhood Anjos.

Deranged yet loved-up, the B2 is a perfect peak-time dreamy mood-setter - proving we're in the hands of a skilled emotion-to-dance translator. The record closes with a stellar remix by one of Portugal's innovators, EDND herself, who drowns the opening track in mysterious waters and adds beautiful melodic elements, perfect for that much-appreciated deep dive moment on the dancefloor. There's a wonderful digi bonus for the heads, where oneiric pads are punctuated by vocal chops from a very familiar classic.

Canadian label Echo Locations enlists Berlin-based producer Svedstorm to explore the stylistic depths of uptempo dub techno with "The City Where It's Always Night."

Originally from Copenhagen, it was here that Svedstorm was introduced to dub techno at an early age through artists like Lulu Rouge and the legendary Echocord label. Although he's produced different genres under various aliases in the past, the groovy melancholia of dub techno has continued calling to him.

On "The City Where It’s Always Night," he presents three different flavours of his beloved genre along with a remix of the title track by fellow Berliner Volpe.

"Neep Noop" highlights the genre's affinity for subtlety and sparseness. A progression of muted bells and echoing synth stabs places the emphasis on the track's low bassline, making this an offering primed for big bass bins and intimate settings.

"On Land" explores the melodic side of dub techno with layers of harmonizing instrumentation. Atmospheric background melodies and fleeting pulses of synthesized sounds come together with bouncy hi-hats and a deep kick to create a warm and hypnotic soundscape.

"The City Where It’s Always Night" presents a gritty take on the genre with raw kicks and snares reminiscent of garage. This addictive beat remains the focal point of the track as delayed chords weave in and out, creating a charged atmosphere of minimalism and serenity.

Volpe takes the title track in a more stripped-down and housey direction, opting for a slower tempo and a deep organic bassline. The echoing chords are stretched further apart, creating a sense of spaciousness over the driving force of crisp hi-hats.

DJ 3000, the trailblazing figure in electronic music, unveils "Work In Progress," an electrifying track extracted from his latest album "Mezë." This song is a testament to the essence of Detroit's music scene, where the bassline reigns supreme, and less is indeed more.

 "'Work In Progress' is all about that bassline," explains DJ 3000. "I wanted to capture the raw energy and infectious groove that defines Detroit's sound. The combination of a captivating bassline with a catchy vocal creates an irresistible vibe that's impossible to resist." 

As the track evolved during production, DJ 3000 felt compelled to introduce stabs, adding an extra layer of Detroit funk that elevates the song to new heights. This infusion of elements reflects his deep-rooted love for Carhartt and Carhartt WIP, paying homage to both fashion and music in a seamless blend of urban culture and sonic innovation. 

Joining DJ 3000 on the EP are two Detroit icons, Jon Dixon and DJ Godfather, each offering their unique take on "Work In Progress" through exhilarating remixes. Jon Dixon infuses soulful melodies and driving beats, while DJ Godfather injects his signature energy, resulting in remixes that push the boundaries of sonic exploration. 

In addition to "Work In Progress," the EP features an exclusive unreleased tune titled "Kazani,” showcasing DJ 3000's commitment to delivering fresh and innovative sounds to his audience. 

"Work In Progress" is not just a track; it's a celebration of Detroit's rich musical heritage and DJ 3000's dedication to pushing the boundaries of electronic music.
