Tsugi Premiere : Captain Mustache - The Mirror (feat. Dave Clarke)

Milano-based producer Eluard graces Slow Motion Records once again with his debut album ‘Dirty Hall’. A release filled with his distinctively nostalgic tone, blending West Coast synth funk and Italo Disco with appropriate, seamless grit. 

‘Dirty Hall’ opens with ‘Die Erste Musik’,  a chiming track with a wide, captivating vocal sampler riff that delicately dances off fizzing percussion. Creamy, glistening chords sit beautifully within this arrangement effortlessly complementing the bassline. This approach is taken a step further in the following ‘Carlo E Daria’, with an instantly attention-grabbing swirling synth motif.  

‘Dirty Hall’ shows the breadth of Eluard's innate talent for harnessing the best out of the analogue machine, creating a rich sonic palette that never fails to warm the ears. The thundering lows of ‘Comic Bad’ are met with a mind-bending augmented synth line and a beautifully enigmatic vocal riff. 

Eluard’s sound design throughout this LP masterfully pushes the retro into the present realm, retaining the characterful intrigue of the instruments recorded. Intelligently placed harmonies in ‘Dancers Are Thin And Pretty’ and ‘Funny Jasmine’ help to raise the instrumental sequences, allowing the listener to be transported to a more reflective, existential space. 

The slick flare of elegant floor filler ‘Phonemes’ solidifies Eluard as a visionary within the Italian Dance Wave Movement, layering distinguished instrumentals with perfectly placed melodics.

‘Dirty Hall’ eloquently concludes with the sophisticated sleaze of ‘In The Next Room’. A masterful nod to the golden era of the vocoder with a stomping, percussive groove and a cleansing chordal sequence. ‘Dirty Hall’ is an LP charged with a mind-bending evocation instilling Eluard as a forward-thinking force within the sonic sphere.

"Our yearly compilation returns with our fifth installment, Pyramid. A set of six tracks that, as
always, travel in varied and intriguing musical directions.
We once again welcome a brand-new group of artists to the label: Technobeton starts things off with a trippy electro/italo song; JG Outsider joins forces with Andrea Acosta to deliver a driving EBM hardhitter; Cate Hortl produces a modulated uptempo track with haunting vocals; U-Art offers a trancey monster; Neurotiker brings a cosmic italo beast; and Zheng wraps things up with a hypnotic leftfield number."

PREMIERE: Technobeton - Boatin Wolf (Samo Records)

Dream Hack is a new side project from the Sheffield based producer Randolph & Mortimer. A new alias created as a tribute to the electronic dance music of the mid 90s, a period in time when a new style of underground dance music was pushing through with bands like Underworld, Fluke, Drum Club and Eat Static leading the charge. These artists were blending everything from Techno to Trance, Acid to Ambient vibes and that’s what this new alias is all about, just having fun experimenting and mixing up the genres
The idea behind White Heat / Acid City was to create a piece of work that felt like a live show, constantly shifting between styles and vibes, tempos and instrumentation. Comprised of three tracks this release is very much inspired by the old skool ethos of writing long, evolving tracks. Whilst the influences are very much a nod back to a classic time in the beginnings of dance music there are still modern twists in it’s creation to keep it feeling fresh. Switching between Techno, Ambient, Trance and Dub influences, it’s dance music but created by a producer whose musical DNA is as much based in hardcore and alternative guitar music as it is electronic music so it’s about songs as well dancelfoor weapons. An album that works being listened to in a darkened room or driving around cities late at night as much as it works in the clubs.
It’s time to jack in.

Dream Hack - Liquid Dreams [Surface Reality]

Melómana Records' latest release, reference number 42, is distinguished by the collaboration of two renowned artists from the label, Sotockhol Syndrome and Tronik Youth.

This release includes two original tracks that blend genres like electro, EBM, dark disco, and new wave among others, characterized by the intensive use of strident synthesizers and a robust and forceful rhythmic base, elements that guarantee their effectiveness on the dance floors.

The original tracks are complemented by three innovative remixes: Gameboyz, Mexican producer TH3OS, and French artist Cate Hortl add new dimensions to the EP's sound. "Viodance," the track that opens the release, stands out with its catchy riff and funk elements, combined with hypnotic vocals and complex arpeggios that transport the listener to another era. "Fascinated" raises the rhythm with a dark disco style bass and an arpeggiated synthesizer line that transports us to futuristic new dimensions of the dance floors.

Gameboyz's remix of "Viodance" incorporates an electro sound with marked percussions and acid sequences that capture the listener's attention from the very first moment. Meanwhile, TH3OS adds a dark, minimal, and techno dimension to the same
track, using the original arpeggio line to create a sensory journey filled with hypnotic rhythms. Finally, Cate Hortl delivers a standout remix combining powerful bass lines in the style of Gesaffelstein with the original track's synthesizers, maintaining its essence while exploring new sonic territories.

This release not only reaffirms Melómana Records' commitment to a distinctive and constantly evolving sound but also anticipates a 2024 full of innovations and surprises within the electronic music scene. Stay tuned for future revelations that will continue to define the cutting edge of the genre.

Off-kilter house producer Goose Down (Micah Smith) returns with a refreshing nine-song album 'Material Needs.' This follows his well-received 2023 EP 'Neatfreaks' which garnered support from BBC radio, NTS and niche corners of the global DJ community.

'Material Needs' revives bits of the lowlit soul-psychedelia from 'Neatfreaks' and the jazzy, vapory palette from his 'Mind Rinse' release. It contains a variety of expansive, groove-oriented jams influenced by old-school house and RnB.

The album kicks off with the upbeat 'Groundwork' followed by the smooth, yet wonky 'Love Is', a french touch-inspired sample chop gliding above a dusty rhythm. The mood thickens with the understated spell cast by 'Innergy' and 'See it All' both providing a steady backbeat under meditative vocal grooves. A more urgent tone is struck with the temperamental 'Think Tank' and the album ends with the warm, organic nourishment of 'Material Needs'

The surreal sounds will please dance floors and headphone-dwellers alike. Micah Smith showcases his usual affinity for detail and ear candy while keeping grooves simple and effective.

'Material Needs' will be released digitally on January 14th, 2025 by Los Angeles label Spatial Touch. It was produced, mixed, and mastered by Micah in his studio. Pre-order at spatialtouch.com.
