French powerhouse Esthétique Records reaches its 26th EP featuring skilled Madrid-based producer Ivan De La Rouch (FREEDL022/032) who brought some very important friends to the occasion: Mike Sacchetti (SXDNS168), as a collaborator on the track "Gravity", the theme we chose to premiere/review, plus Dannie Fade and Man2.0 (SXDNS081), for the remix duties.

Founder of the massive Logical Records, Ivan’s latest releases can be found on Espacio Cielo, Maleante, PlayPal Music, Emerald & Doreen, and obviously on his own imprint. His previous appearance on Esthétique was in March this year with a solid remix to Javier Busto’s “Into The Darkness” EP.

His return could not be in greater style. The attire: Dark and twisted acid with shards of EBM and Italo Disco. In “Gravity”, Ivan and Mike delivered a trippy and mesmerising piece with a beautiful cosmic atmosphere delivered by the ethereal and melodic pads. The guitar riffs yield a kind of ominous and menacing message while the bouncing acid layer, well, you know, triggers the I-want-to-dance-to-this-track-in-a-packed-club-as-soon-as-possible itch.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://esthetiquerecords.bandcamp.com/

PREMIERE211 // Ivan De La Rouch & Mike Sacchetti - Gravity (Original Mix)

Cadee makes his Factor City (@factorcity) debut with three great original tracks driven with leftfield electronics and  followed by healthy remixes by Jackwasfaster (@jackwasfaster) and label honcho Undo (@undo).

Cadee is the project through which Diego Cadierno releases his more dancefloor oriented works. 

After more than five years exploring more “brain” fields (idm, breaks, electro...) with his alias Promising/Youngster, which allowed him to release in labels like Sin Hilo, Nebulae or Several Roots and play live all around Spain, Diego feels the need to go back to his more hedonist roots. This “Happiness” EP is the first released under this moniker. 

Opening the record we find “Besta”.  A very personal song with sinuous synth lines and filters. The percussions and vocals, along with the bass line drives a hypnotic and deep track. JackWasFaster remix is more raw, edgy and straight to the dance-floor, playing with the orginal synths and vocals, and adding what sounds like a distorted synthetic mouth harp.

The second track “Moving Circles” it's a playful and melodic song that captures the essence of Cadee’s approach, teasing the release with its floor-focussed sharp beats and synth stabs. 

Closing the Ep the tittle track “Happiness” it is a reflection on the happiness and responsibility of bringing a child into the world. A deep and wide tune with arpeggiated bass riffs, haunting vocals and vaporous guitars.

Undo strips down the original of its more Pop elements, vocals and guitars, and pays homage to the bass in his remix adding an hypnotic groove and mental synth lines.

While we were finishing the last details of this release, we read with astonishment in the news that a group of scientists was able to take the first photograph of the black hole that exists in the heart of the milky way. This has raised many questions that we usually find in science fiction. What are they? Are they the portal to another dimension? Are there other dimensions beyond known space-time? The truth is, we don't know shit about this. But the first thing that came to mind, as we laughed through thick clouds of smoke and listened to the final mastering of 'Sticker Shock', was: where did these guys come from? This sound has to come from another dimension. There is no other explanation.

We are more than psyched to introduce you to our reference number 044 “Sticker Shock” produced by Zillas On Acid.
Thomas Roland and James Weissinger were born and raised in Philadelphia (or so they say) and in recent years have built a solid catalog with different appearances in Optimo, Les Disques de la Mort, Multi Cult and Dischi Autunno, among others.

This EP has unique assembled layers and planes. The songs are at the same time fun, psychedelic and deep, mixing slow-motion death disco, dubbed-out drum machine music, and of course ACID to get party people on all planets pumped.

On the remix side, the great German Tolouse Low Trax offers us a robotic, kraut and freaky-funk reinterpretation of the song that gives the album its name. And last but not least, label boss Martin Noise join forces with talented young producer DELLA to create a groovy and percussive madness version of ‘Paper Party’

PREMIERE : Uninc & Kolomensky - Ancient Tool (Olsvangèr Remix) [ИДА]

The air was hot and thick making it hard to breathe in the small waiting room. She glanced up at the clock and then back down at her watch. She'd been waiting for a long time, what felt like hours and hours. But it had only been a few minutes. Maybe the heat was getting to her. That must be it. Each person that exited the room looked as if they were in a state of trance, as if they had been hypnotised. Something strange was taking place in that room and she wasn't sure she wanted to know exactly what. As she stood up and made to leave, her name resounded around the room on the tannoy. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to have a look...

Calypso Records founders Thomass Jackson & Iñigo Vontier set up their label as a way of shining a light on Latin American artists, however for their next release they hone in on Tel Aviv and four artists making waves in the Israeli city. Entitled Tel Aviv Flavors, the EP features tracks from Middle Sky Boom, Niv Ast, Naduve and our pick from Rina; rattling drums and erratic percussion over a deep rumbling bassline.

PREMIERE: Rina - Peppermint Bouquet [Calypso Records]

London electronic label Days Of Being Wild celebrates 10 years of existence with a compilation of commissioned tracks from an international cast of producers.

This compilation celebrating their 10 years anniversary reflects that variety in the label’s taste.
It mainly sticks to their psyched up indie dance ethos but sometimes takes unexpected turns. We go from the New Order tinted Suicide Pact by Kiwi to the cinematic landscapes of Jimi After via the electro pop of Offset or the Israeli cold wave of Middle Sky Boom.
Along the way Justin Robertson, French artists daWad, Nhar and Club Bizarre, Berlin based Franz Matthews, legendary Richard Norris and Days Of Being Wild themselves take us on trip that goes from tribal psychedelia, EBM beats, skewed samba and motorik techno.

Days of Being Wild 10 Years VA

PRÈMIÉRE: Middle Sky Boom - Koi Pond Pattern [Days Of Being Wild]

Lithuanian upstart Zakmina returns to Roam Recordings with two new stunning originals backed by ace remixes from Donald Dust and Roam alum Fabrizio Mammarella. The title track,Viral News, is a pulsating 80s infused thriller that builds with driving energy. Caroline takes it a bit deeper with its intricate synth work while keeping it big and moving. Up first on remix duty is Donald Dust who reworks the title track into freestyle territory with its rhythmic play of the original's 80s vibe. Rounding out the EP is Fabrizio Mammarella's psychedelic acid take on Caroline that has early morning warehouse written all over it.

The second volume of Nothing Is Real’s self-titled compilation builds on their towering reputation as leading lights within the global electronic music community. As the label’s first release distributed by respected Dutch record label and store Bordello A Parigi, the collection is set to further establish their international presence and spread their eclectic sound far and wide.
Bringing together diverse influences from across the spectrum of electronica and into new wave and ambient music, Nothing Is Real stand at the forefront of modern dance music as sonic innovators that continue to push boundaries with each offering.

Curated by Alberto Iovine and Alessandro Fumagalli, also known under the stage name Modular Project, this four-track collection takes listeners on a journey through the outer atmosphere of techno, expanding and evolving the genre into new forms along the way.
Cantor’s opening track kicks things off with a hypnotic, driving groove built on acidic synths, before Niv Ast & Roe Deers bring a human touch to the proceedings with a vocal-led heater that recalls classic ‘80s sounds. Dharma pairs shuffling rhythms with extraterrestrial soundscapes that recall Squarepusher and Aphex Twin, before Argia closes the record with force and momentum, surrounding voltaic synthesizers and tribal drums with expressive atmospherics.
