 Berlin’s Georg Levin has been an integral part of the scene. A producer, singer and songwriter who's had a significant impact that reached far beyond his local musical landscape. Born in Hamburg, he came up playing sax and keys in local bands, and nurtured ambitions to produce and to put pen to music paper. After a stint at Goldsmiths in London, Georg went on to work for MTV, and various other film production companies. It was when Georg met Dixon, that started the beginning of a long-term partnership, Steffen Berkhahn co-producing his first release ‘When I’m With You’, and then later the cult house classic ‘I Got Somebody New’ in 2002. Levin has collaborated and remixed for Masters at Work,  Jazzanova, Ame, Robert Owens, Basement Jaxx, and Peter Kruder a la Kruder & Dorfmeister.  He has released on Strictly Rhythm, MAW, Sonar Kollektiv, Sony Music, and together with DJ Dixon under their production duo moniker Wahoo, on BBE.  Levin spent a few years focusing on his Playdis TV which he founded in 2011, an award-winning music company that works at the intersections of sound and visions,  with a string of clients that will make car buffs melt.  Mercedes, BMW, dream on...  In 2020 Levin bounced back onto the scene with his brand of blue-eyed, future soulful vibes, destined for Adriatic boat parties
 
The hauntingly beautiful ‘It Was Fun for A While’ continues with the brief, referencing the hazy, honeyed 80s, a time where RnB, Disco and New Wave had a brief fling, but instead of looking back completely, the music and lyrics play with a emotionally abstract nostalgia. The track is bolstered by a totally infectious groove, elegantly crafted and mixed down with a precision touch. Georg Levin’s warm and atmospheric vocal captures the nostalgic moment and feelings of golden and bygone halcyon days. With a killer remix squad onboard, first up Amberoom, comprised of Manuel Tur, Ramin Nouyan, and Adrian Hoffman, who delicately refresh the vibe with their more stripped down rejig.  DJ and producer Tim Paris, you’ll know from his collaborative work with Ivan Smagghe, lays down some shimmering magic on the OG, while Mule Musiq’s and Minilogues, Eitan Reiter takes the the track to a much deeper and darker room. Festivals of summer 2022 beware. This is the track that will be scored in your head and your ears well after the festival fun has ended.

The Saqqara EP is a multilayered, sonic canvas from the mind of Chris Barratt, as he launches his new alias, Barratt, for Life and Death. Fine brushstrokes move from all areas of his musical hideout, spreading over five, varied, aural sculptures, each one warping and weaving on its own cosmic trajectory. Pooling from key aspects of his Eagles & Butterflies project, Barratt induces new musical shades, hinting at moments of disco and funk, through a lens of psychedelia. 

The title track is a late-night floor-filler - a bold yet uniquely personal necropolis built from riveting delays and arpeggiators. Time Bending sees DJ Tennis join in, stepping up with his trademark, rough around the edges production aesthetic, en route to unknown destinations. Barratt hones-in on a confident, stripped-down style on Khaos - rhythm versus melody -  just in time for festival season. 1983 soundtracks a ride to utopia on a rocket-fueled Vespa, leading to Collider, the land of un-quantised madness, where the most treasured of synthesisers live amongst their drum machine counterparts. 

Flowing yet incredibly interconnected, Saqqara is best interpreted as a mini artist album - the first of many Barratt offerings.

The @Mordisco_Official DJ and production duo return to Canadian label @My-Favorite-Robot-Records for a stellar new single with quality remixes from Sascha Funke and Javi Redondo.

Angel and Hugo hail from Grenada in the south of Spain and first came together in 2011. They craft mid-tempo house, disco and techno that makes a lasting impression thanks to its opulent bass sounds, synth melodies and hypnotic percussion. They also run and are residents at their own Mordisco party as well as playing around the rest of Europe and releasing on labels like My Favorite Robot’s MFR Red Series, Paper Recordings and Midnight Riot Records.

Superb opener ‘Nocta’  has dub disco flavours embellished with slick synth work and a real sense of cosmic serenity. It’s an elongated cut that really takes you on an adventure. Whilst, @SaschaFunkeOfficial the master of warm, deep sounds is in fine form as he flips it into a mellifluous and glowing, retro tinged disco house track with rich synth layers.

Super Paolo is back on his @DiscoMilk label with a cosmic, electro-infused single entitled ‘In Your Shadow’ including a remix from Italian producer @Andy-Bros.

Super Paolo continues to embody his reputation of building tracks from scratch whilst harmonising everything together using a collection of live instruments. Paolo founded his Disco Milk imprint in 2006 and with every release he continues to explore into the realms of disco, electro, house and funk brought together under one roof previously supported by the likes of The Black Madonna, Justin Cudmore, Jacques Renault, Eclair Fifi and more. ‘In Your Shadow’ sees Paolo invite a remix from Italy’s Andy Bros which picked up plays from Adam Port, Solomun and Blackbox and Jamie Jones on Pete Tong’s History of House episode on BBC Radio 1

‘In Your Shadow’ begins with zappy synth shoots, revolving electro flavours and infectious vocals keeping eccentric energy flowing until Andy Bros who has previous releases on Diynamic, Chapter 23, FFRR and more rounds off the pack with a chuggy, italo-disco remix of ‘In Your Shadow’ laying focus on cosmic oscillations, otherworldly atmospheres and uplifting, swirling melodies peppered with undulating euphoria.

In Your Shadow

PREMIERE - Super Paolo - In Your Shadow (Andy Bros Remix) (Disco Milk)

The journey has now a shape, earned from the inglorious perseverance of two bastard astronauts, who are only looking both forward and after the one and only single “Pensiero Stupendo”.
Phunk Ad Elica is “the pop not so pop”, infected by the thrill of discovering. New worlds are guaranteed, not a trip for believers - not a beat for sleepers. 
Just an escape for dreamers. Phunk is phunk. Ad that’s what you’re reading. Elica is just a tool to fly.
