La Danse #2 is the second digital compilation of a series from international talented producers we support and love. 

Following our heart and taste for mixed influences and creed, La Danse is a tribute

to the dance floor mixing together organic works in order to bring new energy in clubs. We hope this second volume will bring back our dance floors to life. 

From la Danza de los Voladores during Mesoamerican rituals to the Maenads in

Greek mythology, dancing is part of social life from the outset, and will always be.

Because dancing frees body and mind - because club culture is essential - this compilation series preaches for an uninhibited and uncontrolled dance. There is only one motto « dance or get lost!

A few months after his ‘Friendly Surveillance’ EP, the tenebrous frenchman Jon Beige strikes back : three of his latest productions have been chewed up and spat out under adventurous auto-remixed versions for chemically sedated dancers. There were initially meant to be club-oriented versions, but the end result sound more like they would potentially clear the dancefloor… But that’s how we love them, so we decided to name them ‘Empty Club Mixes’, which sadly sound pretty familiar at the moment.

Melting high-tech soundscapes, hypnotic synths and broken drums, Jon Beige’s synthetic universe got once again a beautiful graphic treatment by the disturbed pen of Serbian graphic artist Stevie Whisper.

Releasing Jon Beige since his earliest work, Global Warming Records is run by french producer and talent seeker Malcolm, who imagines and shapes each project hand in hand with his artists. Club Friendly Surveillance will be the label’s 14th release.

Forthcoming with another release is one of Fantastic Voyage’s founding members, Danny Goliger. In early 2021 the music producer, audio engineer, and instrumentalist will present his debut album, “Meaningful Pursuits” on the label. The forthcoming IDM full-length consists of 11 tracks and represents his personal growth as an artist and individual.

Goliger has captured some personal trauma and placed it into melodies, chords, and synths. These melancholy sounds are reflective of his healing from these wounds. When speaking about recording the album at that time in his life, Danny describes feeling like a broken computer simulation – glitchy and fragmented, which comes full circle as you listen to the record. His long-time musical collaborator, Benny Bridges, created generative visualizers for each track that also help convey this notion.

Deeply passionate about electronic music hardware, Goliger recorded this album at his studio in Echo Park using his analog synths, drum machines, and hardware samplers. Featuring a heady blend of experimental IDM/Electronica, the album pays homage to his musical heroes including Aphex Twin, Autechre, Floating Points, Skee Mask and Proem to name a few. His penchant for audio engineering is on display, with this glitchy record showcasing a technical precision that blends seamlessly with his strong musical compositions.

Although this is the first solo LP for the Los Angeles producer, Danny is a prolific collaborator, producing and engineering on many diverse projects that span numerous genres. As a seasoned musician with many years under his belt, he can also be seen playing keys and drums in the Fantastic Voyage band and music-directing for Mija’s live shows.

Brooklyn, NY - Label head SPF 50 returns to Professional Music with a five-track EP of propulsive, dub-infused material. This record delves deep into our moody, atmosphere-driven take on the dance floor, undulating between straight four-on-the-floor energy, heavy breakbeat science and euphoric ambience. Swung layers of rhythm gel with misty chords and 808 bass pressure, riding the line between 2-step excitement and hypnotic, long-form arrangements. This is introspective body music, steeped in the sonic worlds of UK bass, looped 90’s techno and grainy dub.

Aimed at providing a different insight into dance music the label Special place provides both acoustic and electronic sounds that are not sonically linked to a specific era, but all carry a shamanic or esoteric hinge. This EP is just that with the three amazing artists Mushrooms Project, Longhair and Eric Duncan all bringing their own take to this leftfield slomo disco to house vibe. It’s an honor to have them on board!

You gotta love Eric Duncan. Such a laidback, fun and easy going chap! After having turned NY upside down he currently resides in Bali when he's not touring amidst the pandemic. He actually remixed this track whilst in Brazil (how does he do that?). He probably has the vastest collection of selfies with DJ Harvey if this means anything. Berlin based Longhair has a string of releases on labels such as Bordello A Parrigi, Permanent Vacation or Love On the Rocks. He actually does sport long hair and probably has a third ear for turning music into untameable beat dance fury. And what about our hosts Mushrooms Project? Well they paved a solid catalogue with their characteristic shamanic house music releases, go check out for yourself!

Zillas on Acid make their Inside Out Records debut with an EP showered in hope for a better summer. “A Wonderful Time in a Terrible Club” is certain to become a favourite for the dancefloors, joined closely by “Not Really”, thanks to the latter’s addictive acid hook and vocals. The genius Fantastic Twins breaks from working on her own projects to morph “Wonderful Time in a Terrible Club” into a psychedelic, magical journey. “You You You You” has the more trademark Zillas hypnotic groove, with Black Merlin warping its vocals and bending the track into a darker, more ambient 10-minute re-creation.

Los Angeles based artist Mickey van Seenus delivers the second E.P. on bORDEL Records this April entitled ‘Creature Comfort’ accompanied by a remix from Smagghe & Cross. 

Deeply inspired by the natural world, Mickey van Seenus is jazz and classically trained artist and performer who produces homemade, lo-fi dreamscapes. After moving to Los Angeles in 2013, Mickey found an increasing appreciation of dance music and the city's industrial sounds. The rave and BDSM community became a distinct influence both personally and artistically. After collaborating with Delroy Edwards, under the guise' Earth to Mickey' (a homage to Chaka Khan), Mickey teamed up with L.A. based imprint in 2019 to deliver their 'Brace and Bit' E.P. with the project propelling Van Seenus' entrance into the electronic music community of Los Angeles. 

'Creature Comfort' is a lo-fi cut with dreamy atmospheres, sultry vocals, and crunchy modulations, whilst 'Under My Skin' comprises watery keys, emotive moods, crunchy drums machines, and lyrics that are equally silky yet punctuating. Up next, 'Pretty Good So Far' lays focus on post-punk inspired stylings with echoing soundscapes and murky sonics before 'Babylon' gives rise to rubbery melodies and dazzling pop experimentalism.  

Smagghe & Cross is the partnership of French DJ and producer Ivan Smagghe & composer Robert Cross who add ethereal moods, transcendent ambience and introspective melancholy to their version of the astral ‘What If’ cut. Moving onto the colourful cover of the Bee Gees, 'Emotion' featuring elegant﻿ tones and hypnotic bells until the marvellous E.P. closes with 'No I Don't' as the stirring fx balances delightfully with the soothing dreamscapes throughout.

The inspiration to make something new often comes from a change of perspective.

This is how Virtual Forest Records was born, from the combined efforts of four rave-hardened members seeking a chance to share their artistic perception of the world. A new lens to explore a different vision of dance music, it shows us the act of clubbing and raving as collisions between the animalistic human nature and advanced digital technologies. An ephemeral medium to experience the release of our corporeal instincts with the help of our rational minds, while never ceasing to dream about the future.

Label head Solma has undertaken the task of captaining the first voyage of Virtual Forest Records, with a 4-track EP that will drown heads in clouds and shatter dancefloors with the same ease.
Starting things off softly, I915 invites you to lay back in an alien world inhabited by strange textures and fleeting sounds. Gentle synth melodies allow the unsuspecting listener to lower their guard, but the atmosphere becomes foreboding as more intense drums make their way into the evolving soundscape, paving the way for the next track of the release.

Conjuring another eerie soundscape, Utilman keeps its core rooted in trance aesthetics with an acid touch. With a confident 4x4 and breakbeat combo, this dancefloor-heavy cut will bring the temperature up a notch, be it as a warm-up heater or a peak-time roller.

The B-side completely forsakes the four-to-the-floor recipe to add a touch of electro to the mix. Supported by a solid drum pattern and volatile breakbeats, Void Update’s voice samples and nostalgic melodies fill a void that you never knew existed and find their ways into the toughest hearts for a deeply introspecive experience.

To end this Motherboard EP with style, Learning Rate gives a glimpse into Solma’s darker side. Powerful drums and menacing basslines coexist with shimmering synth melodies in the purest trance style to create a maleficent atmosphere punctuated by hopeful feelings. This dangerous track is likely to stir a lot of trouble on the dancefloor and will definitely be a special weapon for any DJ with destructive tendencies.

Daniel Holt delivers an album of intricate minimal wave/post punk from his new project Human Figures. At the same time, this vinyl edition is Co-released by Frigio Records and B.F.E. Records and this being the first split release by the two labels.

Holt is no stranger at Frigio, the Tennessee artist having featured on Frigio Allstars Vol 2 and Vol 3 with his mind-melting techno and having also 12″ in L.I.E.S. Records. You may also know him as the head of Ardetha Records as well as an impressive resume of experimental synth and ambient projects, such as synth duo Vault. 

Human Figures is a completely new and personal avenue of expression for Holt. “Footsteps” is liminal, lonely and misty with negative space between each instrument. Each note invokes a warm hypnagogic atmosphere, tinged with fluttering anxiety.

Through these eight tracks, this multifaceted musician shows another side of his art with guitars, bass-lines and drum machines. The mournful “Lifted Burden”, with its cowbells and echoing vocals swaddled in warm strings, sets the tone. Haunting notes are supported by a staccato beat as Holt´s melancholic vocals sail in “40 Days” before the bare brilliance of “An Open Heart.” A spread of influences is drawn on for Human Figures: the post-punk rawness of “For My Angel”, the synth romance of “Footsteps” the cold reductions of “Passing Beyond Body.” Sombre, stirring and superb. 

FFO of the minimal vibes of records like Solid Space "Space Museum", Dark Day "Exterminating Angel", The League Of Nations "Music For The New Depression", Lives of Angels "Elevator To Eden"...

Australian raised, New York based producer Kate Stein makes her debut on Playground Records with ‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ a powerful Ep full of hypnotic rhythms and beautiful landscapes, composed by 2 original mixes accompanied by high caliber remixes from Autarkic and Balam.

‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ begins like a train barreling from far away with staccato arpeggios and modulations; like horns warning that it is in a hurry and the energy will not stop. Sensual and seductive at the same time, the track builds with an elegant current of sound. This takes us back to the beginning of electronic sounds, reminiscent of I Feel Love. The glam of Studio 54 crossover with some acid slow electro makes for an irresistible dance ripped dress.

The second track is called ‘Hi-Lo Motel’ and it gets more serious. A bouncing synth marks out a crossover bass with modulations seeping back and forth in alien tone. A smooth and rarefied flight, ecstatic, stealthy and nostalgic.

Autarkic remixes ‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ by twisting it with a lot of funk machine. A hoarse, scratchy bass grooves recklessly as a dirty, dragged snare beats his side. Cowbells rattle for flavor as acid modulations elusively intersect. Pads of mystery take us to a break that is quickly attacked again by the bass to unleash a brazen and shrewd dance.

Balam gives his own perspective about ‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ closing the Ep and doing what he does best, mixing synthetic tribalism of acid modulations and frenetic percussion. His bass, his personal mark, pushes incessantly and cadency. He takes us on a sinuous and enchanting journey while chords scatter us through an open space towards infinity.

Boasting a catalogue of distinctive music, Massimiliano Pagliara's Funnuvojere turned two this year. Its eight release comes from Clarinets the new alias of Tbilisi based Gacha Bakradze. Invisible Path is the title of this EP, a name that seems to reference Gacha’s own nimble movements across cities and genres. It started in 2015 with a rather ambient LP with Apollo Records, and has recently seen him releasing a third LP with Barcelona’s Lapsus Records. Despite this new skin, Gacha’s identity can still be strongly felt in Clarinets. 

The four tracks composing this EP highlight Bakradze’s mastership in designing harmonies. Graceful frequencies rise from the title track, driven by a steady arpeggio that builds and explodes in multiple directions. ‘Dry Bridge’ uses classic balearic sounds to decorate a powerful bass line, evoking an accelerated sunset at sea. The same balearic iterations define the deeply emotional ‘Knee’, in which the sound breathes and expands skywards. The closing track ‘Afternoon’ is a warm house ballad to round-off the last moments of a long after-hours session.

Mexico’s leading underground Duro Label is back with another incandescent EP, this time from Torreón based producer Macualay, who serves up fine three original deviant house cuts with a remix from Fabio Me Llaman Soltero. 

During last year's confinement, using the lowest lo-budget equipment and a microphone of dubious provenance, Macaulay together with his bastard clone DJ Papi created a new EP full of corrugated house, heavy kicks, fleshy basses and highly impure synths. 

Opening the pleasure feast  is ‘A Gozar’, a six-minute roller with ghostly buried synths, narcotic voices over  heavy drums and chubby bass. “Latinon”, the second original track and the first of the two collaborations with DJ Papi, is a HOT, clear example of Mexico's tech-mex sound at it's finest: an anthem for the sexy young souls of the forbidden latin warehouse party scene.

Up next comes “Meneitous”, a lewd lesson in total tension that takes the dancefloor to darker places. On the remix duties, Guatemala’s papi Fabio Me Llaman Soltero delivers a chunky tribal beat running through flailing percussion, delayed vocal sounds, and uncontrolled synths.
