Blavatsky & Tolley Falling (What Time Is Love) Feat.Gene Serene

Melopee welcomes "Furotica", the latest musical project from Furor Exotica.  

"Rebirth Is Hardwired" takes listeners on a mesmerizing cosmic journey, blending a thunderous bassline with sultry, synthetic leads and pads that elevate the dancefloor straight into the stars. The track’s enigmatic vocals add an undeniably perfect '80s flair, making it irresistibly danceable.  

One of the giants of the psychedelic Italo-disco scene, Franz Scala, joins the project with a masterful remix. Staying true to the original’s essence, he infuses it with a nostalgic, enchanting, and emotionally rich dimension.  

Next up, wave rider Kay-Chi brings his sharp talent to the track, adding a deeper, body-focused energy that reshapes the piece with finesse.  

To round off this remix collection, Leitstrahl returns to the imprint with a heartfelt contribution. Drawing from the worlds of Italo-disco, laserdance, and synthwave, they showcase their full musical sensitivity in a stunning finale.

PREMIERE – Jason Peters – Satellites (Roam Recordings)

Artist: Jason Peters
Title: It's Ok to Be Sad (Original Mix)
Label: Roam Recordings
Release Date: 2025-02-14
Cat. No.: ROM138

Jason Peters, the visionary behind Roam Recordings, returns with his latest EP, 'It's Ok to Be Sad.' This release is a dynamic journey through emotional soundscapes, blending high-energy beats with introspective undertones.

Opening the EP, 'Satellites' is an homage to Jason's formative years in the underground rave scene of the 90s. The track captures the raw, pulsating energy of warehouse parties with its heavy hitting drums underpinning wild electronic noises.

The title track takes a reflective turn with its distinctive goth disco vibe. Echoing the moodiness of the cover art-clouds tinged with subtle brightness-this piece intertwines elements of joy and sorrow, creating a captivating emotional contrast.

Adding a fresh dimension, Moderna returns to Roam Recordings to lend her unique touch. Her remix infuses the original with haunting vocals, 80s-inspired snares, and atmospheric reverb, amplifying the track's melancholic essence.

Kay-Chi & Keymon’s latest tracks, Reversed Phase and Search True, feature radio host Sharlese on vocals and deliver powerful kick drums and massive gated snares. Ambient synths and electronic arpeggios shape the atmosphere, while a driving acid-laced groove and pulsing sawtooth basslines propel these neo-Italo dancefloor anthems. Hypnotic riffs, psychedelic synth ostinatos, and Sharlese’s ethereal, introspective vocals complete this essential release.

Feinstoff head Freudenthal reimagines Reversed Phase by Kay-Chi & Keymon as an immersive and transcendent journey through dark disco and indie dance. Hard-hitting drum machines, pulsing synths and Sharlese’s hypnotic vocals entwine in a evocative blend of 80s nostalgia and future-forward grooves aligned with Feinstoffs mantra to give nostalgia a modern twist.

Kay-Chi & Sharlese - Search True [FEINSTOFF]

Clubland is filled with duos, sometimes they grew up sharing bunk beds, sometimes they met on a dancefloor, or sometimes -as with Lord Fascinator & Kate Stein- they met on a tropical island after one had commissioned the other to create several giant monsters for a music video. 

Fast forward through ten years of costumes, chemicals, religious art projects and "Mad Max yoga retreats", they have finally cemented their relationship in the studio with their Primary EP, 4 tracks of psychedelic synth-pop, cowboy disco and cosmically inclined iridescent electronica.   

First up is country touched club banger Horse House, a track that combines a galloping hypnotic house beat and pulsating synths with all manner of Morricone'esque whistles, lonesome guitar twangs, equine snorts and, of course, the repeated chant that "there's a horse in this house". 

The track may have started life as a joke but its effect on dancefloors has been anything but and Horse House joins the select ranks of other fine western themed classics that have curiously littered the history of club music.

Label boss of @roam-recordings

Indie Dance, Dark Disco, Cosmic, Psychedelic, Italo

Jason Peters is a DJ/Producer and the label boss of Roam Recordings. Over the last decade he and his label’s output have been at the forefront of the indie dance/dark disco movement. While his music centers around 80s italo, 90s rave, and contemporary indie dance and dark disco, you will also hear rare disco, psychedelic techno, and early house. 

Jason Peters is also a long time staple of the San Francisco dance music community where he plays regularly for some of SF’s more discerning clubs and promoters such as Sunset Sound System, Housepitality, Monarch, and The Great Northern. On Jason Peters’ travels outside of the Bay Area he has played events such as SundaySunday, CRSSD festival, Block 9 at Glastonbury, Red Light Radio, Kater Blau, and the Alfresco festival.

Ransom Note puts it best: “Just like Jason's own productions, which also appear on the label, the music is dark and hypnotic, cosmic and driving - sounds that'll take you down a wormhole. There are a lot of labels and artists treading similar terrain these days, but Jason was spearheading this new wave of exciting and unique dance music a long time ago."
