A long walk was at the apex of most days; sometimes the route was the same, sometimes they took a punt. That was the beauty of living in the countryside, there was a never-ending supply of nature to explore. Of course, the woodland walks and far-reaching cornfields had become familiar after all these years of living here, but every now and then they'd stumble upon a hidden paradise.

Hot on the heels of Daniel Monaco & Sauvage World's EP earlier this month, San Francisco's Roam Recordings welcome Australian-born, New York-based producer Kate Stein. Marking her debut release, 'Scenic Byway' offers two original cuts that display Kate's knack for crafting hypnotic melodies and low rumbling bass lines, backed up by two remixes on the flip from Perel and Zillas On Acid.

Scenic Byway

PREMIERE: Kate Stein - Scenic Byway (Zillas on Acid Remix) [Roam Recordings]

"Delicately laid introduction, smooth fade-in, and amazingly executed swishes and swooshes, not only in the beginning but throughout the whole song, sets a strong foundation and holds up till the very end. Not to mention the clever use of synths and other gloomy electronic elements that not only casts a bright light to hint at a genre but also to set a certain mood. Despite being a new incarnation of disco, it has a distinct house flavor. As pretty much every dance song in the industry, it has this engaging and also charming synth-bass sequence, for some it might seem overused and can get annoying over time, but I always say this - "if it fits, it sits". Just as I am a fan of this particular bass practice in the songs, I am also a fan of sonar sounds and especially the combination of both - bass and sonar, if done right and this track delivers without any doubt, I'm sold. However, this isn't quite the selling point of this wonderful track. What got me hooked, was something else. I would say it was a blend of pretty much everything Tantra had to offer in this anthem of sorts, although a few elements stood out above the rest. The sophisticated use of wind instruments with the addition of vocal inclusion was spot on, the mix of these two just added a life-like experience, cultural mirroring phenomenon was so present, it made me so involved, I completely lost a track of time. Speaking about time, I usually avoid songs that are longer than 7 minutes or so, and when I saw the duration of this song, I was like - "Oh man, this is gonna be a drag". 
But fortunately, this James Rod edit surprised me in more ways than I can imagine. I strongly recommend this beautiful and so down-to-earth masterpiece, that not only provides a solid listening experience but is also technically dense and arranged in the most explicit way possible." - Quixotical Music psychoanalyst Vidas Stanynas.

Belgian dj & producer Mugwump is an elusive presence with a solid tastemaker reputation preceded by in-famous DJ residencies at mythic Belgian clubs and a long-standing recording relation with Cologne’s Kompakt records, ongoing DJ support from the late Andrew Weatherall as well as a large catalogue of electronic ‘disco-techno’ records, released on leading labels R&S, Gigolo, Cocoon, Endless Flight, Eskimo, Permanent Vacation or International Feel. Mugwump runs the Leftorium clubnight in Brussels and his own Subfield label with indie power-house !K7.

Following albums "Unspell" (a mixture of slo-mo disco, new-beat, psychedelic pop and balearic) and "Drape" (a postpunk turn as a live band setting), Mugwump is back with new album “Pneuma” and its first anthem « Breakout » which revives the worldwide 80’s jazz-funk-pop hit from UK band Swing Out Sister (formed by members from A Certain Ratio and Magazine).

The track flips the initial escapist lyrics for a bonkers post-lockdown disco-technoid anthem which celebrates life, involvement and civic activism
DJ feedbacks have higlighted reminiscence of Chemical Brothers productions and come with props from no less than DJ Harvey, Heidi Lawden, Ashley Beedle, Strut Records, Horse Meat Disco, Danny Tenaglia, Joris Voorn, Slam, Maceo Plex, Justin Robertson, Ivan Smagghe, Sean Johnston (ALFOS), Michael Mayer, Manfredas, Chloé, Kristian (Ame), Marcus Worgull, Dave Harvey (Futureboogie), Chris Massey (Electric Chair), Rheinzand, Mehmet Aslan, Headman, Hifi Sean, Leo Zero, Justin Strauss, Nathan Gregory Wilkins (NTS), DC Salas and Tim 'Love' Lee.

PREMIERE: Mugwump - Breakout (Extended Version) [Subfield/!K7]

Vilnius/Basel-based DJ and producer Domas Bojarciukas aka Bojarchük is back to Mexican imprint Bonkers Records. After being featured on the volume 1 of the compilation “Oddness”, now the Lithuanian artist returns to present a full showcase of his capabilities through the four robust cuts of his “Ugne” EP. To complete the party, two compelling remixes made with love by John Patter and Aurum Miles. Premiered here, the former’s ace contribution to the release.

John Patter needs no introduction amid the Indie Dance/Dark Disco community. The originals & collaborations of the also rising Lithuanian producer can be found on some of the most interesting labels of the scene like, for instance, Ninefont, Shara Music, Rotten City Files, Melómana, and now Bonkers.

His interpretation of the opening title may have kept the noisy and fussy atmosphere of the original, but ripped off its Middle East-ish aura, replacing it with a more EBM/Industrial mood. The absurdly fat bassline – introduced at the very beginning of the track –, the weird percussive elements, and the arpeggiated synth layers show the credentials of JP’s work.

“Ugne”, which means "fire" in Lithuanian, is a more than suitable name for Bojarchük’s latest endeavour. Kudos!

PREMIERE: JackWasFaster - Cuchillo [LATIDO]

She couldn't recall a sunset so breathtaking; shades of purple, red, gold and orange seared through the sky, burning hot like the embers of a fire. It framed the desert, making the landscape feel a little less expansive and sprawling than it really was. This place was truly magical, it were as though the scenery was for her eyes only, a secret that nobody else was allowed to know.

Lithuania's Where Were We? are following up their last release from Azole with a stellar remix release. The duo's EP, Mr. Sutherland - a titular tip of the hat to the Australian keys maestro - was packed full of bouncy Italo jams and funky grooves, which get driven into more interstellar realms on this new package. All adept at manoeuvring in cosmic worlds, alongside alternate takes from Endrik Schroeder and Ivan Fabra, the label bring on board regular remixers Black Feeling and Romain Fx, who takes us on a joy ride through the desert with his "Valley of The Moon" remix.

The journey continues for our beloved French inhouse artist, Kubebe. He returns once again to the Fauna Reve pit with "Power Plant", an EP loaded with a bunch of funk, discordant sounds and a bit of reggae vibe.
The swirl of ideas that can lodge in Kubebe's consciousness is immense, from experimental creations created with noise generators, to internal tribal chases or relaxed atmospheres.

Kubebe’s most recent collaboration is with Italian, A-Tweed, in "The Garden" EP. In the past, the Lille-born producer collaborated with Bufi on the "Bufebe" EP. Some of his productions live on labels such as Duro Label, Calypso Records, Feines Tier, Hard Fist Records.
This new sonic odyssey from Kubebe will be available and ready to add to your collection starting September 2.
