ELEKTRONIKING

It looked like a normal night under the stars.
In the forest clearing, people were building the stage and setting up the scenery for midnight's big rave.

Alice came to dance but arrived too early to the party.
While she was sitting outside the camp she saw a funky monkey jumping right in front of her.She heard a whisper but wasn't sure, so she started to follow the little monkey.

Out of the blue she fell down, or was she climbing up?
It all ended very quickly and, to her surprise, nothing seemed to changed around her. On her way back to the camp she started to hear dark, psychedelic electronic music. Very quietly she could hear a mantra saying “Petit Monde... Petit Monde..”

She was drawn to the intoxicated voices.
As she arrived, she was shocked to find the camp was full of people, all standing still in front of the DJ booth and humming the mantra.
Slowly she walked inside. People cleared the way for her to pass all the way to the DJ. Suddenly a strong light appeared, and the DJ pointed out at her and shouted- Danse Alice!!
And the party started.

New Place in Town

In 2021, Italoconnection, the partnership of Fred Ventura and Paolo Gozetti, released Midnight Confessions Vol 1. Three years on, the awaited second volume has arrived. All of the analogue emotion that characterised the first collection is present from the outset, warm throbs of bass coupled with clean melodies in “The Wait”. Smoky lyrics permeate the nine track album, the unmistakable timbre of Ventura’s voice recanting tales of optimistic encounters and lost love. As with the 2021 release, collaborations with fellow italo romantics are peppered throughout. Francesca Gastaldi returns to work with Italoconnection once again. Having featured on their Humanize EP, Gastaldi’s vibrant voice shines through the smouldering synthlines and robust beats of “Live Forever”. Jaia Sowden takes centre stage for “Just Like Water”. A story of discontent and disconnect is sang over bittersweet keys as eastern undercurrents flow. Contemporary commentary is intertwined with undulating melodies and distant lyrics in “Cold War Lovers”, a cold wave edge cutting through the sounds and words of “Systematic”. The dancefloor surfaces throughout the record. Bodies are pulled tight by the bold and bright bars of “Why” before drifting apart in the lovelorn lamentations of “Lover 2 Lover”. “Europa” pays homage to the machine music of the continent as a litany of influences are drawn upon . The title piece closes. A fragile drum pattern is bolstered by cascading chords, piano notes sailing alongside words by Gastaldi and Ventura. Welcome confessions from musicians who live and breath the synthesizer traditions of Italy.

Chris Gavin - Es Facil (Original Mix)[Side Up Works]

Passion Synthétique draws its influences from club culture and dark disco as much as from sci-fi cinema and literature. Composed at the end of summer, the track is an invitation to the heart of a deserted nightclub - a game of seduction without safety nets, a metallic oasis, an empty lot in a crumbling world. Meteors Recordings presents its 3rd single, and this is only the beginning.

PREMIERE : Studerkel feat. Julien Domece - Passion Synthetique

The German producer @KikeamRadar returns to @DogsAndVulturesRecords, this time with 'Testament', a ray of light that  manages to keep us afloat through the cold and lack of sun . In his latest work he has managed to take his music to another level, more narrative, reflective and intimate, mixing different influences using old and new synthesizers and analog drum machines and combining them with plug-ins and digital effects.

Acclaimed French band @VoxLow takes on 'In Troubled Times' and really make it their own, in a way only they can . Elegant in its own unique right it takes the original to even higher levels with their trademark bass. We're sure this one's going to have lasting appeal and a track you'll be hearing much more of.

The  EP is completed with other excellent remixes from Nozz and  Montcosmik.
