WhyPeopleWar - Fundraiser for Ukraine vol.1 & vol.2 (Buy, Share & Stand for Ukraine)

This is one of those stories that starts with a boy finding a book in a dusty attic. 'Weird Legend' drags you across contrasting seascapes, offering different lighting from song to song. Abundant in field recordings from this former sailor officer's favorite beaches of Crimea, this material has sounds of the sea and ocean as a main inspiration. Both gentle and moist in its melodies and as harsh as techno can get in its beats, D. Yaroslav’s debut takes a strong stance and doesn’t fall out of character. Once again, we are helping the ones in need. Dug Up The Bongo founder reached out to us with this entrancing material to help Kyiv’s humanitarian fund “Grains of Peace”, started by “20ft radio”.

Her name was beautiful and twisted. It were as if it could be sung by a beautiful songbird upon the morning breeze. Diana Harmony left her house each and every morning with an elegant smile upon her face, a spring in her step and joy in her heart.

Who knew what was hiding beneath the surface? What traumas? What struggles? What perils?

Who could even begin to care when she looked so happy and glad all of the time? This was the trick you see, Diana got sad too. More than you might ever even know…

There’s a great sense for taming nostalgia in Lithuanian-born Klimas’ work. Based in Kaunas, real name Rokas Klimas works on setting his signature sound with a great passion for the genres of the past that flourished at the end of the previous century. The production is obviously dipped in Italo,  New Wave, and New Beat more than anything else but also showcases a huge amount of interest for the dancer of modern times through investigations of minimal techno, electro, d’n’b, and dubstep. His allies for getting the more convincing sounds are machines from the USSR era, vintage synthesizers, and other gadgets in the studio. Klimas’ background also includes some action with the Rebel Army group that got its big sound system-ready EP released on Mixmag and VNTGRD labels. 

With his long-term collaborator Tautvydas, Klimas started a label-slash-music-sharing-space in Kaunas called Lempa. As a producer, he promises a lot of stories from the past in the future.

Having already earned plays from the likes of Dixon, Ame, Chaim, and Adana Twins with releases on Ya Hala Ya Hala, Blue Shadow and Tau, Genish finds a natural fit on Multi Culti with his Third Eye EP, a kaleidoscopic triptych emerging out of the evolving sound of Tel Aviv.

Composed of myriad globe-spanning influences, his sound is a fresh, house-y hybrid, imbued with the spirit of trance but restrained in both tempo and arrangement and more ambitious in terms of sonic palette. Featuring a wild mix of Qawwali samples, French-Congolese vocals as well as lyrics from a made-up language, Genish has deployed impressively diverse, character-filled vocal performances and paired them with varied, impactful rhythms, deft melodies, all wrapped-up and reinforced around powerful four-to-the-floor bass-lines. It’s a complete package that is sure to find it’s way to peak moments on dance-floors.

Any Act is a Moscow-based collective, responsible for some radical records and conceptual performances, since their debut self-released protest "Civil Act" EP, dropped in 2019 and heavily praised by Resident Advisor. Trailblazing the club and festival circuit in Russia within PRIVATE PERSONS showcases, Any Act came back to TRAM Planet Records this fall with "Viebe Po Bratski" EP and appeared with "Deti Techno" EP on Lone Romantic, label curated Maceo Plex.

One of their latest shows was broadcasted by STVOL.TV in August 2022. The band presented the title track of TECHNOROCK EP, which we are so psyched about to release on System 108. The guitar player hanging from the ceiling already became a truly iconic image. Now it serves as the cover artwork.

"Look around and take your last breath, the sounds of death are dancing between us", — the 2-track EP opens with Smert (eng. Death). Trancy, filthy synth ode to the underworld. Technorock is destined to set the next level of warehouse rave intensity, just as Any Act are doing it at their live sets. This is techno, this is punk, this is technorock.

System 108 for now takes over this outstanding story. Get ready for more!

Beyond all of the things we judge in ourselves, there’s a warm light that accepts us just as we are. Now. 

The path of self-love is not an easy one, as you have to open-heartedly face all of your vulnerabilities, one by one. It does take practice. Sometimes you end up swimming every ocean just to realize that love has always been right here, looking back at you.

But it's all worth it in the end because you are worthy of love.

Vito Roccoforte and Gabriel Andruzzi – AKA Mother Of Mars are BACK, this time featuring the luxuriant vocal delights of Satomi Matsuzaki.

Vito and Gabe are best known as members of era-defining NY post punkers The Rapture and continue their tradition of angular yet danceable, hooky yet challenging musical output with brand new EP, Harmonium Detector.

Title track, Harmonium Detector, is based on the concept of breaking up with your cellphone - something Vito has attempted in the past, with limited success! It showcases Satomi’s lush vocals, transporting the listener to a world of rapturous electronic elation. Its intricate layers of rhythm create a unique and mesmerising listening experience that will have you bopping on the spot in no time at all.

We've enlisted the talents of two incredible remixers to put their spin on the original too. First up is Max Pask, who delivers a disco workout of a remix that adds a new dimension to the original. With his expert ear, he’s teased out parts from the MoM version to create a true disco behemoth - this mix is going to be burning up dance floors all over the world.

Next, Hologram Teen's Espresso ESP Remix takes it in a House-ier direction, with its bouncy, energetic sounds, squelchy bassline and vocodered vocals. Morgane (previously of seminal French Avant-Popsters, Stereolab) has created something truly experimental, yet thoroughly dance-able here, invoking shades of Laurie Anderson.

Finally, the Harmonium Decorum (Edit), provides an ephemeral, radio-friendly version of the original track that still retains its pulsating, fun energy

Budakid’s ‘Milestones’ gets the remix treatment from three very hot names, with very different results.

Korean hotshot Shubostar has featured on Resident Advisor’s mix series, played leading festivals like Burning Man and released on killer imprints like Robert Johnson, Permanent Vacation, Internasjnoal and her acclaimed Uju Records. Her colorful update on cosmic disco fits perfectly with the charms of Budakid’s style, with a bouncing off-beat bass line driving under heavily reverbed kicks and snares and a flurry of ascending arpeggios. The synths soar, the breakdown takes us into an epic space, and the remix develops beautifully over the course of its 8 minutes to keep you hooked throughout.

London duo Make A Dance are rapidly on the ascent, with a huge release on Classic Music Company and killer cuts on their M.A.D. Records imprint as well as sets at the likes of fabric and Club Silencio. Their rework goes deeper, building through gated snips of the vocal, pulsing pads, Latin snare patterns and subtle bleep riffs and delays to reach a heady, hypnotic place. The ethereal breakdown full of tripped out tape delays and great use of airy vocal harmonies are the icing on the cake, making their remix feel like the original as experienced in a joyous dream. Oh, and prolific guys that they are, they’ve also included a ‘Deep Acid’ mix which... I think you can figure it out?

Rising Dutch talent Milio (Atomnation and formerly one part of Tunnelvisions) rounds off the package by stripping things back to a deep, tripped-out pulse, modulating twanging acid belches in conversation with an off-beat bass bounce. The vocal is used in super-dreamy fashion—particularly in the breakdown—and slick production on that acid line and clever automation keeps it engaging despite this remix’s pared-back approach.

Montessori - Cell Wall (Jaroska Remix) [Why People Dance]

In the heart of a Montessori classroom, young minds blossomed. One day, a curious child named Lily was presented with a plate of exotic fruits. Smelling a new flavour in the air, her eyes widened with anticipation. As she bit into a vibrant mango slice, an explosion of sweetness danced on her taste buds. Overwhelmed with joy, she couldn't help but twirl around, arms outstretched.

Her teacher, intrigued, asked, "Why people dance?" Lily paused, her face beaming. "We dance when words aren't enough, to express the magic within us," she whispered. And from that day forward, the classroom embraced dance as a universal language of joy.

Montessori, the project of Alfredo Cardenas, returns to Lithuania-based label Why People Dance with his latest EP  "Smelling a New Flavor." Following his debut on the label's compilation in March 2022, Montessori brings a progressive fusion of leftfield-leaning acid, techno, and indie dance, The EP features remixes by Anatolian Weapons and Jaroska.
Alfredo draws inspiration from post-rock energy, new wave, post-modern techno, and the life of the Mexican suburbs.

Sinchi's Altered States collection is back with another forward-thinking collection of artists and music from across the electronic spectrum. This diverse selection is a testament to the A&R skills of the label, which remains a not-for-profit operation that donates all proceeds to its own foundation to support the preservation of indigenous culture.

Tel Aviv's Avi Sakorka opens up and has 20 years of experience behind him making everything from trance to new wave, deep house to downtempo, always with a storytelling melodic edge. He returns after a break of several years with 'Sunset With Tequila,' a summery and colorful sound that combines several influences into a lush electronic soundscape with new wave and disco energy and rich synth work.

Then comes Stevie R & Parisinos, a formable pair who run Inside Out Records. They have appeared on this label before now as well as Me Me Me Recordings, Playground Records, Hard Fist and many more, and work on experimental sounds as Alter Altamont. 'Aphrodite' is an excellently dark and alluring disco cut with a gurgling bassline and celestial melodies over rickety drum machines that keep you locked.

Italian duo Eys Sye and Rämin AKA The Hanumans got together in Milan and are resident DJs at the cult local party The Sanctuary in the city. Their 'Moon to Mars' is a stiff, acid-laced chugger that pounds its way to a disco amongst the stars.

Mexican DJ and producer Lovilla is next and is known for hypnotic melodies, energetic rhythms, and atmospheric textures. His 'Electro Futuro' is an emotional and vibrant tune with lyrics talking about a failed relationship from his past. It is about how he prioritised making music over friendships. "The sounds and the ambiance of the song is how I felt so afraid of the future but was determined that I wasn't going to give up." As such it's a moody and alluring dark wave disco cut with tender melodies and introspective chords.

Tel Aviv-based DJ and producer Magos plays and produces vibrant music that combines indie dance pleasures with acid techno and Middle Eastern instruments. His superb 'Sora' is a track that will make you jump thanks to its elastic bass and signature foreign language vocals - it's curveball and crazy and brings something different to the dance floor.

Milan's Irene Radice makes music to invoke real freedom and has had support for it from the likes of BBC Radio 1 as well as featuring on labels like Renaissance. Her 'Wake Me Up' is a lithe and colourful cosmic trip with elastic synths and bass making you move every limb as the synth-laced adventure continues to take you higher.

Altered States Vol.9 is another brilliantly broad mix of fresh electronic sounds from talents all over the world.

Nehza Records shares its seventh release, Hybrid, by Naarm-based artist Mabel, out on 23rd June

Melbourne's Mabel makes her Nehza Records debut with five tracks that blur the lines between psytrance, progressive house, breakbeat and tech house, culminating into one psychedelic trip. Mabel titles each track after a hybrid animal, hence the EP's name Hybrid, aligning the release with Nehza's vision of telling stories about nature through electronic music. With this in mind, Mabel conjures impressions of forest and beachside raves, dancing with creatures that lurk just beneath.

French artist Mala Ika joins Roam Recordings with two new original offerings backed by remixes from Phunkadelica and Shubostar to form the Du Bist Ernst EP. Mala Ika has been prolific lately with releases on labels such as Permanent Vacation, Critical Mondays, and Watergate Records. She brings her unique style to Roam starting with the title track Du Bist Ernst which thoughtfully bends an 80s riff into something completely new. Zufall continues to showcase Mala Ika’s sound with pulsating synth stabs, arps, and even a little breakbeat floating through this hypnotic tune. Italian duo Phunkadelica who have been topping the charts lately with tracks like “By The Power Of Grayskull” takes on Du Bist Ernst and delivers a dark driving version. Returning to Roam with her Tracelove remix, Shubostar gives an epic version of Zufall with lush strings, dramatic builds, and some classic rave flavor.

Scannoir & Sneaker, aka “GOTT”, explore, transform and mutate. This unique collaboration embodies the perfect symbiosis of passion. “Die Deutsch-Schweizerische Freundschaft” is still profound and continues to have an effect. Now the two exceptional artists present their latest work: GOTT – MUTATIO on the Zurich based label Mattoni Pazzi.

“Alles wird gut” was the motto of the occupied Wohlgroth-Areal in Zurich in 1993, where Sonic Violence was invited to the concert of their “Transfixion” album tour. Industrial beats, dark samples, guitar riffs and moshing punks dominated the scene. At the ticket booth there were CDs to take away: “Sonic Violence – Transfixion”!

A template that now, 30 years later, adorns this memory with the selected track “Malice” in a new guise. GOTT mutates the original into a dark hell ride.

Enter the realm of the Fields of the Nephilim! The guardian waits, a lifetime. Profound and melancholic, he is transformed by GOTT. Dark souls remain dark souls. Daringly and nevertheless tradition-consciously they march through the black terrain. Interwoven by GOTT, guarded by GOTT. Well – GOTT is the guard! Experience this unique metamorphosis with GOTT – MUTATIO.

Bufi & Kubebe return to Fauna Reve with their second collaborative EP 'Sternana'. This production is composed of five original tracks that present a fusion of urban rhythms with sticky basslines, booming drums and resonant, psychedelic and melting sounds.

The release opens with 'El Jockey', a collaboration with the talented Portuguese singer Abrao. Together, they created a hypnotic and powerful track, full of glitches and sound caves. Abrao's voice takes you on a surreal journey and envelops you with a feeling of mysticism.

'Sternana' is the second track on the EP, a collaboration with the talented Livia. It's a mixture of urban electronics and street sounds that takes you through alleys full of punctured drums, resonant sounds, snare rolls and Latin rhythms.

The rhythm twists with 'Aguachile Dembow', a cut that fuses psychedelia with dembow rhythm. This track has a powerful energy that makes you feel like you're at a street party. Synths blend with deep basslines and psychedelic vocals to take you through an amazing sound experience.

'Llooccaa' is the next track on the EP. This cut features deep and rumbling basslines while pizzicato guitars, cut vocals, and synths push you down. Finally, the EP closes with 'Cicatriz', a mixture of oriental sounds with urban rhythms, melting and sweaty basslines.

'Sternana' by Bufi & Kubebe will be available from July 14, 2023, on all digital platforms.

Tracklist:

1. El Jockey (feat. Abrao)
2. Sternana (feat. Livia)

Together, they have developed an old rave party sound and bring new influences from the explosive Mexican scene. The result is pure bliss.

It's composed of three original songs :

Title track, Stereo Dust is a big piano-house summer anthem full of trancey energy that will have you going even happier than before. You will dance for sure !

Second track, "Black Leather" is a psychedelic powerful machine with a heavy bassline tailored for the club. Play it loud.

Last track, "You Left Your Underwear" grabs its position with a straight beat being accompanied by space echoes, sharp and various 90’s synth sounds.

Familiar Strangers founder Remotif heralds the 30th release, complete with a digital-only remix from Youandewan.

The first half finds the Bristol mainstay at his deadliest. Harnessing pure proggy momentum, peak-time scorcher ‘In the Blink of a Cosmic Eye’ comes hurtling out the tracks. ‘It’s Inside U’ then keeps pace with more of that driving, fractal pressure. Tunnelling wormhole torque straight out the nether-realm.

Comparatively restrained but no-less mind-altering, the B-side embarks on a full-blown vision quest. Where breaks-fuelled cut ‘For Love or Money’ nods to early ‘90s bleep, ‘3AM in the Möbius Strip Club’ ushers into a chugging, ritual-ready space. Proper third-eye dilating stuff.

Finally, Youandewan fires up the particle accelerator for a direct, driving remix.

3. For Love or Money

Within the transformations of their meticulous processes, London duo Kassian become a vessel for alchemy: filtering and distilling scores of stems, samples and layers until something richer and more complex than the sum of its parts emerges. Uncomfortable in any solitary genre, and at the midpoint of somewhere unexpected and uncharted, the pair describe their sound as “almost techno.”

Since their debut release in 2018, Kassian have drifted leftwards into heavier, more abstract territory, harnessing their individual skills for working in the small pockets and painting the whole cloth of the canvas. In their first outing for !K7, Phase Two EP, the Roland System 1 synth is the throughline as they painstakingly piece together sketches, turning high hats into kick drums, capturing the resonance of percussion and drift further into each other’s heavy-hitting sonic realms.

“X-303” recontextualises the sci-fi inspiration of its name, forging a new style of interstellar acid. A driving kick drum holds steady through a track which oscillates between contrasts: from eerie, suspenseful pads and distorted string sounds, to a minimalistic groove accented with double-time drums and mechanistic pulses. “Tabla” reduces a distinct latin rhythm down to its essence, and is propelled by a thick and distended bass loop. Its hypnotic groove combines the human and the virtual with a glitching vocal sample and the juddering of strummed guitar strings, highlighted by the percussive hits of its namesake instrument.

The pair characterise “Prelude” as “a Frankenstein kind of monster.” Constructed around a radio sample of a legend of the scene, it is a sleek and incremental gradation of shades, with micro layers from their palette of sounds rising and falling, blending and twisting with no obvious lead or bass. Repurposing the same drums as “X-303”, the EP’s final track “Patterns” was inspired by Kassian’s earliest incarnations of live performances, and it unashamedly captures the peaks of communal moments, rounding out the EP with an epic take on deep and techy house.

Close your eyes and merge into Benedikt Frey’s 'Fastlane'. Imagine sitting in the driver’s seat of a an automobile, one with exceptional horsepower and torque, as you stare out the windshield at the red light, warping in fata-morgana a mile down the road. It’s a straight-away, a black top with two lanes, and against your better judgment you decide to floor the gas. No hesitation in your muscle, your ankle or the ball of your foot, which you now realize is some kind of universal pivot, the first point of contact fusing your body with the will of machine. In this moment you’re in awe that you, a human, an animal, grew from pond scum into something so advanced as to engineer this thing, a mechanical beast capable of overwhelming power and exhilaration. But you also feel a seductive dread, an outside force diverting you from caution toward a dangling carrot of curiosity, asking yourself, ‘How far can I take this thing?’ The dread, now a constant, is numbed, equalized by an adverse intoxicating gratification. You feel both sensations in real time, however, rather than take responsibility for yourself, friends, family and innocent bystanders, you cement your foot to the floor and lean your head back. Noise around you fades to mute. Smell the benzene-scented air, feel the wind on your face, the menacing vibration of the vessel you control beneath you and every grain of asphalt under its tires. This mile has now lasted an eternity and you’ve left your body for some objective view, as if watching climax of a film. Past the point of no return, you embrace abandon and lean into fate. The film becomes slow motion, a crawling pace so mesmerizing you convince yourself of an option to eject yourself from this madness, but as you finally let go of your last morsel of fear, you run the red light head-on into the nucleus of a fantastic glistening sculpture of torn metal, glass, oil, broken dreams and heartache. 'Fastlane' may be just drum machines and synthesizers if you’re timid, but listen harder and know the catastrophic reality of existence, a wreckage so gruesome we dare not rubberneck, but afterall it is our nature to stare.

Shkema: 

I make weird music for weird people. I tried to copy what I hear in the work of others but I always end up with different music solutions. I thought that was the wrong way till I started focusing on the timbre and it helped me to burst out. I spent ages with the analog synthesizers looking for that right tone color and little by little the music structure came up on its own.

Later I added guitar sound and different solutions of percussion which led me to minimize the digital sound from my work eventually.

My strange and odd voice component came last. I had a certain phrase in my mind that completed the melody perfectly. So I started using my voice to get the right tone color more often, even though I said that I would never be a singer in the past.

I am more of a night person, usually, I find peace in my mind which is a must for music making.

Born in Milan to a Cameroonian father and a Polish/Lithuanian mother, Nathan moved to Jerusalem at age six. They have spent their childhood in a Jewish ultra-orthodox environment, playing the piano within the context of religious ceremonies and dreaming of becoming a fashion designer and musician. After waking up from the reality they were raised in, they moved to Venice and started to explore the world outside of the mental barriers of religion. While completing their fashion design degree back in Milan, music was their medicine, and they quickly started developing the practice of storytelling through the medium of sound, serendipitously pursuing their father's path as a disk jockey in the vibrancy of the Eighties and Nineties cosmopolitan Milanese nightlife. Their search for home and their devotion to music brought them quickly to Berlin, where they currently create, live, and love.

In March 2023, their debut solo album “Sanctuary of Ideas” was released via the Zurich-Berlin-based label Lustpoderosa. “Sanctuary of Ideas” is a very personal and optimistic journey by Nathan Dawidowicz. A spiritual path, as cosmic and adventurous as Nathan’s trajectory, with beautiful twists and psychedelic twirls into their personal rabbit hole. A record full of memories and positive affirmations, filled with jazzy yet psychedelic Cosmic and Krautrock elements. A fusion of inspiration and a perfect reflection of Dawidowicz's heritage.

Sinchi Music's latest not for profit release welcomes Italian artist A-Tweed for two new tunes that come with remixes by Sara Dzir, TAPAN, Roy Mills and Vardae.

A-Tweed mixes up weird acid, dark electronics, EBM, electro, tribal, disco and techno across a wide range of tempos. He's landed on labels like Tresor, Hard Fist and Duro and has a show on Radio Alhara as well as being involved in side projects like Obanko Maranta with Andrey Redkov and A-Tweed X Olerefuturo with Valerio Ebert.

Opening cut 'Photosphere' is a dark and menacing one with snaking beats and ice-cold percussion. Synths bring drama and rugged texture as the acid lines arrive and the moody industrial disco grooves unfold. 'Low Field Trance' is another slow and strangely seductive disco-techno sound. Meandering synths make for an eerie late night vibe as glistening glassy melodies hang in the air next to prickly 303s.

Belgian-Tunisian artist and Not Your Techno founder Sara Dziri remixes 'Photosphere' into a jacked up and acid laced cut with trippy vocal fragments and an infectious groove.

Serbian underground stalwart TAPAN then flips the same cut into a filthy chugger with prickly percussion and warped synths luring you into a late night world of musical menace.

London's Local Knowledge Records label head Roy Mills brings broken beat energy and a twisted cosmic edge to his version of 'Low Field Trance'.

Last of all Vardae's Deconstruction Dub reworks 'Low Field Trance' into an empty and cavernous rhythm full of spooky synth motifs and echoing hits.

This is an superb package of left of centre dance floor cuts and comes with striking artwork from Superbarabba.

Nova Inferno is an EP about landscapes and introspections lived and narrated by the artist Encanto, who makes his nomadic life part of the stories contained in his productions.
The EP was produced during his stay in Florianópolis, where he lived his moment of solitude and contemplation. These references influence the choice of harmonies, timbres, and synthesizers, and given the characteristics of the moment, the project, however, concentrates music more danceable and intense, also reinforcing the artist's musical signatures such as his chromaticisms and works with bass and percussion, characteristic of his tracks.

Qnete’s back in the building for a third X-Kalay release and it’s an anticipated return for the prominent purveyor of prog. Four diverse but coherently related tracks with pit stops in deep house and electro territory

We open proceedings with a dose of the lysergic sound that has become his trademark since debuting on the label in 2021. Evoking ritual and ceremony, ‘Going Short‘ commences with choral pads that beckon to the altar. A slo-mo exercise in dancefloor hypnosis with trace echoes of bleep.

Where ‘Wrapped’ takes a turn toward mellow, ‘Stepperals’, like its A1 counterpart, recalibrates trance tropes into something more chugging and restrained. Another example of Qnete smudging his third eye on a tunnelling, wormhole flex.

And finally, the Leipzig native signs off with a nod to the American Midwest. Opening cerebral gates in a way that recalls classic Detroit In Effect, closing track ‘Circuit Friends’ taps into the futurist utopia imagined by Detroit electro’s pioneers.

Manfredas lights a stick of incense on Glasswalk, a musical memoir of riding a crack pipe out of an opium den in the slums of Mumbai. True story.

Force Majeure's debut release on the 'Sulk Magic' imprint comes stocked with mind-altering treats. 
The title track 'Overawed' mesmerises with it's low-slung undulating electronics, acid flashes and arpeggio rhythms. 'Cheap Thrills' then accelerates proceedings with unfussy drums and robotic, bleep heavy melodies. 
Label owner Bird of Paradise offers up a relentless lo-fi version of the latter whilst Melbourne based Jamie Blanco provides a hustling futuristic soundscape. Damon Jee closes matters with his interpretation of 'Overawed', contributing a stripped back, double-time chugger.

The Lyon imprint @hardfist strikes again with the collaborative Princes of Abzu EP, federating producers hailing from multiple horizons. 

A hedonist move, caring more about vibes and feelings than borders and nationalities. Referring to a mythological source that is the sea to every river, Princes of Abzu is a drop in a global culture expanding its currents to infinity.   

Producer and percussionist @shadi-khries is inspired by the desert, one place in particular : Wadi Rum, in his home country Jordan. He mixes traditional instruments like semsemeh (which gives its name to the track) bouzouki and oud, with electronic acid textures that makes it perfect for the club.

The original I’m Wild, Oh I See was part of REPVII released in 2017. Remixed by Id!r and Theus Mago. They gave the track a more dancefloor orientated feel. The two Remixers met and became friends back in 2014 in Paris. This is a swift and thunderous collaboration between the two, made in Theus studio in Mexico City. Theus Mago is the alter ego of Mexican producer Mateo González.

Âme’s Frank Wiedemann calls up friends and family for remix duties on 9 tracks from the back catalogue of his eclectic label, Bigamo Musik, reaching for some of the most respected names in electronic music to dig into the archives.

The first 3 tracks form the first of a trio of remix EP's, with Red Axes, Sado V and Dengue Dengue Dengue taking their talents to tracks from Keope and Abrão.

Tel Aviv power pair Red Axes are no stranger to Abrão’s work, with the latter’s vocals featuring on their 2014 release ‘Kicks Out of You’. The familiarity shows itself in the Israeli duo’s careful rearranging of “Aguas sagradas do Ganges” into a sundowner-set beauty, opening the track up to the dancefloor whilst preserving the original’s measured approach and plaintive vocals.

Tracklist:
Abrão – Too late to Ganges (Red Axes Remix)
Abrão – Tudo Bom (Sado V Remix)
Keope – Notturno (Dengue Dengue Dengue Remix)
