A2 Solar - Depth Charge

Powder is an up-and-coming producer from Tokyo who had put out only a couple of releases on Born Free and ESP Institute when Resident Advisor featured her on the monthly series “Breaking Through” this past August.
Inspired by her first visit to Cocktail d’Amore in 2015, she was so enthralled by the atmosphere, she started working on an EP for the label – capturing her experiences from the party.
The way Powder interprets sound is extremely personal and unique. 
The opener “Hip” has a driving sensual groove with hints of acid, seasoned with a good amount of loons and a mysterious foggy melody while “Heart” sounds like an italo disco aural translation of a shojo manga script for a “fun in the sun” tinged story.
On the flip side a slowmo industrial-meets-rainforest groove characterizes “Hole” followed by “Hair” in which she blends many layers of rhythm patterns together.

Displaced Soundtracks Vol.2

Midland - First Tube

Sky Miles Volume 1 is your round trip ticket from Stockholm to Osaka, making stops in Savannah and Rio. We expect a smooth flight, so sit back and relax.
Bobby Bricks (Dream Time, Sweden) will prepare us for liftoff. Please pay attention as our crew demonstrates the safety procedures. “Orchid Island” is an enchanting and uplifting number that conjures images of clear skies ahead, mysterious and magical. An ideal starter to our journey. The crew will be around shortly with drinks, so ease into Séculos Apaixonados (Future Times/40% Foda/Maneirissimo, Brazil) slow burning “As Velas da Cantareira (DJ Guerrinha Mix)”. Low BPMs and timely synth stabs bring this bright, leisurely track from Corcovado to your turntable. Great for beginning of the night drinks or post sunrise warriors. As we reach cruising altitude, C Powers (Sweat Equity/CGI, USA) wonky “Sky Miles” gets you moving in your seat. The Captain has turned off the fasten seatbelts sign so feel free to dance around the cabin. Breezy production with playful percussion makes this one dance floor ready. When we begin our descent, please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position. Roy Comanchero (Running Back, Japan) “Moon Hike” welcomes us to Kansai International Airport, where the local time is shortly after midnight. It’s gradual, introspective pulse rejuvenates the listener after a long trip and prepares you for the night ahead. Be sure to check around your seat for any personal belongings and use caution when opening the overhead bins.

PREMIERE : Seculos Apaixonados - As Velas Da Cantareira (DJ Guerrinha Mix)

buy/stream full release: smarturl.it/sofiakourtesis

On this self-titled debut EP, Sofia Kourtesis channels experiences of her transatlantic existence between hometowns Lima and Berlin through a torrent of sound, presenting us with a collection of tracks all firmly rooted in contemporary dance floors but with their spirits roaming high above the clouds.

This world-travelling, MPC-busting, Gold Panda-collaborating maverick's first appearance on record was with 2018's "WinWin San", a sparkly, razor sharp dance diamond that made out one of the highlights of our first label compilation Studio Barnhus Volym 1.

A self-described “travelling bedroom producer”, Sofia started the process of writing her solo debut with a journey into the Amazon jungle. Stops were also made in front of a dusty Juno-106 in her Berlin bedroom and at a mysterious Tokyo flea-market. We're a bit fuzzy on the details but we're pretty sure this record comes packed with the kind of raw energy and runaway imagination only a really strong debut release could possess.

Sensible Seelen Vol. 1 - Snippets

French electronic champions I:Cube and Chateau Flight, trendsetting DJ Raphael Top Secret and newcomers Flegon provide us with remixes of the autumn released LP 'Sphere Of Existence ' by Antoine Kogut. Where the LP explored atmospheric and experimental pop, « Remixes » gives us a four tracker that is made for the dancefloor.

On side A, Chateau Flight transforms the title track « Sphere Of Existence » into a 90’s Italo house banger while I:Cube does what he does best in his unexpected dub version.  On the B side, Raphael Top Secret reworks « Current density » into a Hip House track full of deep vibrations and newcomer band/label Flegon fulfilled their goal of working with their all time favorite French Touch pioneer label Versatile giving us a Nu-Disco remix of the song « L ‘oeillet noir ».

Electro, disco-chic, doused in gooey pop, sultry silk, and retro synth-boogie. Dekmantel welcomes the good time vibes of Canadian selector, and retrotastic, vibe-poppin’ producer Jex Opolis. Cult figure, obsessive Discog-er and Good Timin’ boss, the Brooklyn-based, Canadian has etched out a global reputation with his exotic taste of lo-fi, party productions, with this — his Dekmantel debut — not straying far from the formula. On Earth Boy, the hit making powerhouse turns up the synth furore to maximum, with electro and Italo all blending together, in a powerful melee of beachtime house, and crushing sunset disco. Leftfield soul that’s not just for the diggers, and the perfect introduction for his summertime debut at Dekmantel’s galant showcase festival in Amsterdam later on this summer. 

Title track 'Earth Boy' pays homage to the classic electro of the early 80s, with its 123bpm rolling breaks, and throbbing synth basslines. It’s as if Drexciya has a disco-baby with Spacer Woman. With its cliquey stomps and robot pulses, and nods to the wave-style records that empties so many of Jex’s sets, 'Earth Boy' is classic future disco. 'Desolation' is bridled with greater depth and emotion, with Italo-pomp and a certain rhythms digitales flare. Braver souls may embrace the vocal mix when it comes to playing out, with its compassionate overtones and soft celled-bassline. Its time to brush aside the winter hue, and say hello to those good-time blues, and frolic along to the jetset, neo-Balaeric house stylings of Jex Opolis.

Cameroon Boogie and Funk Edit by myself and Peter Marks.  The original was released  by Uta Bella on her "Nassa Nassa" LP in the late 70s. Enjoy!

Uta Bella - Enyin (Sappho & Peter Marks Edit)

Many players had tried to win the game before and none had succeeded. Each level brought different trials and tests that only those of the highest power and intelligence could attempt, yet still even they had failed. It was a virtual trip through reality; what was real and what was in one's imagination had been blurred. Those who entered had never returned, and thus their existence had become a distant memory. But this didn't deter others from trying, eventually there had to be one winner. 

The next release on Young Marco's Safe Trip comes from Japanese producer Hoshina Anniversary. Having landed on Turbo Recordings, Boys Noize Records and Octopus Recordings in previous years, his new two tracker titled Hakkenden has got the seal of approval from Lena Willikens, with the video game chords and acid lines of the first instalment making its way into her sets recently.
