PREMIERE : Blackploid - Magnetron

Everything had to be in its place, from the hairs on her forehead to the sheen of her shoes and the placement of the ornaments on her mantel piece. She wanted things to be just so. And so she expected the same from everybody around her, but they could never meet her high standards, she sometimes couldn't reach her own. From the outside you'd assume she had a handle on each and every element of her life, but deep down she was never happy, there was always something that could be improved. 

For his self-titled debut album under the moniker Dumbo Tracks, Cologne producer Jan Philipp Janzen (known elsewhere for his work as Von Spar, Die Sterne and Urlaub in Polen) explores the world of dub in its many forms. Linking up with a long list of collaborators, including the likes of DJ Koze, Portable, Die Nerven’s Julian Knoth and Peaking Lights’ Indra Dunis, the LP celebrates the idea of the studio and the possibilities of post-production, a core component in the creation of dub music, by honing in on each element and approaching each one them as a separate instrument.

Author of the soundtrack of the documentary "Les Délivrés" by Thomas Grandremy, the reference of electronic music Maxime Dangles extends his composition work with this album. The alienation, stress, struggle and hope of the documentary's protagonists were his sources of inspiration. The soundtracks of the journey of these bicycle delivery men have been transformed into tracks to carry the struggle of Damien, Clément and Yoro further and continue to denounce the excesses of capitalism. A work that poetically extends the poignant and necessary work of the director, with an impeccable and immersive sound design, enamelled with dialogues from the documentary.

The result is nine tracks between ambient, IDM and electronica, exploring the story from all angles and feelings; from union demands and the struggle with "Affrontement", an incisive track inviting reflection to raw and metallic sounds or "Révolte", on the borders of destructured club music and IDM; from hope to dreams with the contemplative and deep "Velibre", “Matin Bleu” and "Liberate" or the melodious "Vitesse"; anguish and disillusionment with "Operate", the melancholic "Matin Rose" or the experimental and immersive "Mauvais Rêve", punctuated with the voices of the documentary.

A militant sound narrative of great finesse, affirming the richness of Maxime Dangles' production work and his ability to draw singular landscapes from which strong emotions emerge, following in the footsteps of Hans Zimmer, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' original soundtracks, while exploring the most experimental side of club music.

'Les Délivrés' LP will be available on vinyl and digital February, 17th on Lifeguards - a new sub-label of Astropolis Records, and Maxime Dangles will premiere his new live show at Astropolis l'Hiver February, 11th alongside Kittin & The Hacker, SPFDJ, Volition Immanent, Infravision or Zohar.

Maxime Dangles entered the electronic music scene 15 years ago on the Kompakt label, collecting prestigious remixes (Moby, Green Velvet, Simian Mobile Disco, Kittin & The Hacker...). Reference of the international electronic scene, he’s renowned for his immersive and singular sound design that he shapes with his modular synths. But for the last 4 years, Maxime Dangles has slowed down his club dates to devote himself to this type of creation, to the spatialization of sound, in places such as the SAT in Montreal and to the SONARS arts and sciences project alongside researchers from the CNRS, who took him on board at the heart of their research on the islands of Saint-Pierre and Micquelon.

PREMIERE: Maxime Dangles - Vitesse [Lifeguards]

One Eyed Jacks ceased activity in 2017 with a record by Photonz released under a different alias. It was the right time to let go: when the label started, in 2010, there were few electronic music labels in Portugal and a growing new wave of artists that needed to be documented and shown. Along the years, new labels - more capable ones - developed to cater to that need while projects like Rádio Quântica, co-founded by Photonz and Violet, seemed better instruments to carry on the vision of elevating and documenting a fledgling scene. But the itch for editorial expression was never gone and come 2023, One Eyed Jacks is back to life, animated by a renewed trust in the music and visions of how to apply its mysterious power to move, inspire and heal.

As the first single of a larger body of work to be presented later in the year, “Orpheus” is an expression of that same trust: no rushing, no over-production, no masking. Just a minimalistic dance track cooked up over an attempt to use the kick drum sample as also the source for the bassline and the melodies. The result is a bass-heavy, slow-paced house track with playful polyrhythmic layering and a melancholic emotional undertone. Adding to it we’ve got three exceptional producers on the remix: Lisbon’s Kara Konchar and Lake Haze, and Zambia’s SHE Spells Doom.

PREMIERE : Noamm - Intuition

This is the sound of celestial journeys and starlit dance floors. Deep Space Melodic House is a subgenre that transcends traditional house music, blending its hypnotic rhythms with the vast, ethereal atmosphere of the cosmos.

Imagine a journey through the dark, silent void between galaxies. This music is the soundtrack. It's built on a foundation of warm, deep kicks and subtle percussive grooves, but the focus is on the breathtaking, emotional landscape created by the synths. Expect lush, atmospheric pads that swell and fade like nebulae, and arpeggiated melodies that shimmer and loop, mimicking the distant twinkle of a thousand stars.

The energy here is not for the club's peak hour but for its most transcendent moments—when the lights are low, the smoke machine is on full blast, and everyone is moving as one. It's a sonic exploration that is both introspective and expansive, perfect for getting lost in the music and the infinite possibilities it suggests.
