Francesco Papaleo has yet to find his alias because he sleeps only once every two days, being too busy producing unsorted sounds out of copper and silicon.

Wandering around airports and train stations, Francesco has collected ideas that can fit on a buggy laptop and portable, not-really-fancy, machines.

MM Discos kicks off this year with the newcomer producer and Naples' best kept secret "A Beat Disciple".

The Italian producer delivers "Hot Naples" an extended Ep where deeper sounds will be the main character of the story.

A.B.D aka Mario Venditti found his path on his productions after listening to a bunch of records that featured artists like Masters at Work and Dj Gregory among others, taking from that moment on tribal house as main influence. With the years, Mario has developed his own personal style by getting closer to other genres like Downtempo and Balearic.
"Hot Naples" is fresh, cosmic, deep and equally influenced by italo sound and early house. A perfect exercise of how analog rhythms and haunting melodies can create a magical galactic landscape. Feel the spell and get lost in here.

Tracklist: 

1) Salina di Atacama					
2) William, Jack &  Allen  (leggere i beat nel parco)	
3) Summer Everyday   					
4) Snow Wall							
5) Jesus With Nike

It was about time we offered a free download! Marseille's Bouti is giving away a playful and chucklesome tune, and he's telling us exactly what he wants - our dancing feet on his platter. As it progresses, the song starts taking different micro directions, leaving us in a packed toy store.

Two brothers, Lukas and Matas, are back again. We are falling in love with this super talented duo of Lithuanians based in Copenhagen, Denmark. 

So what's the first thing you do when you find yourself on a Deserted Island? You lose your pants! The second thing you do is ask yourself, where on Earth is this deserted island? Judging by the sounds, it could be in the Indian Ocean. Or is it the Levantine Sea? Beats us. 

The sun is burning the brain cells, and we have to hide in the shade. Oh, look! A big white stone to start writing that S.O.S. signal.

Originally released in 1989, the single had five more versions, including the "Orgasm Mix." Ayayay. So here you go, the last free download of 2021!

Give it up for people in love today! Not easy when you're not, but oh so delightful when you are. Arash & Quasar's edit of Japanese tearjerker Nina - "Million Roses" hits so hard today it seems we were waiting for an edit like this for ages. Cheers to all rose charmers taking care of their gardens! Good luck on that date tonight. We'll be sitting here, stuck on repeat. Feel free to pick up this rose for free on our Bandcamp page.  

Arash & Quasar (Truth and Star) is an electronic duo from Russia formed by two friends, DJs, collectors of rare vinyl records, musicians, and painters, Pavel Grachev, and Vitaly Zhulkov.

Pavel & Vitaly also film interesting programs from their travels and tours called DIG LOTO, where the main characters go searching for rare old records with their best friend Vestax Handy Trax, and share musical treasures with people on their YouTube channel.

Arash & Quasar was born out of pure pleasure, juggling pieces of different sounds. Basically, they take interesting records with oriental old forgotten music, find some really catchy elements and feel that something new and beautiful can come out of it with their own arrangements, synthesizers and drum machines on it. Perhaps this can be compared with how to make a collage of different clippings from a magazine. Only instead of pictures it's sounds.

Not that we can afford anything with these "post"-covid prices. What's definitely optimistic about all of this is the energy in Bojarchük's track. The virtuous flute player is making us fly on the wings of "Take It." And we're going to take it. But slowly.

Though they have known each other for quite some time and hang around a lot, somehow Sibilë & Phun Thomas have never really talked. It was when Sibilë asked to help with her album that they began getting closer to a point of trying to create something together. These days their rendering pauses are full of support, insights & laughter. What they chat about in the studio remains a mystery to us all, but their first track comes out to live its life.

Superkoloritas is an electronic retro nostalgia duo from Vilnius. Their tune “Šokim Šokim” pays tribute to the common theme in Lithuanian folklore about accidentally finding the party of devils and dancing with them all night long. Producer and DJ Shkema is no stranger to such encounters. He remixed “Šokim Šokim” and turned a fairy tale disco tune into a psychedelic first person experience of dancing with the devil itself. Of course it is on the verge of losing your mind, but that’s what a really hellish party is all about.

There’s a great sense for taming nostalgia in Lithuanian-born Klimas’ work. Based in Kaunas, real name Rokas Klimas works on setting his signature sound with a great passion for the genres of the past that flourished at the end of the previous century. The production is obviously dipped in Italo,  New Wave, and New Beat more than anything else but also showcases a huge amount of interest for the dancer of modern times through investigations of minimal techno, electro, d’n’b, and dubstep. His allies for getting the more convincing sounds are machines from the USSR era, vintage synthesizers, and other gadgets in the studio. Klimas’ background also includes some action with the Rebel Army group that got its big sound system-ready EP released on Mixmag and VNTGRD labels. 

With his long-term collaborator Tautvydas, Klimas started a label-slash-music-sharing-space in Kaunas called Lempa. As a producer, he promises a lot of stories from the past in the future.

Lithuanian-based artist and the owner of the sunniest bar in Nida resort “Saulės baras” - Emilis San presents his very first track. His long-dreamed ambition for music production finally comes to the daylight in a form of “Particles”. Its nostalgic melody creates a trippy sensation while the boiling and punchy bass line make you move around. Emilis San sends huge thanks to his coach Jonas Calli, who helped him develop an essential set of skills and form his own sound, and Jaroška for neat mastering.

Beyond all of the things we judge in ourselves, there’s a warm light that accepts us just as we are. Now. 

The path of self-love is not an easy one, as you have to open-heartedly face all of your vulnerabilities, one by one. It does take practice. Sometimes you end up swimming every ocean just to realize that love has always been right here, looking back at you.

But it's all worth it in the end because you are worthy of love.

Founder of the online media Heeboo and DJ resident for Chosen Family parties at famous La Station-Gare des Mines club in Paris, Adeline Journet, aka F/cken Chipotle, started producing music during 2020 summer. Former member of the feminist collective Barbi(e)turix, she runs every month a radio show for Station Station radio, called C’était Mieux Demain (It used to be better tomorrow).


In 2020 she left her job in brand content and took a break to start producing music. After a few months she made her closest people listen to it, and also the DJ Pasteur Charles who motivated her to send her first track to the queer platform for young producers, Les Disques Du Lobby. On dec. 16, No Filter was online. Angry, troubled, stormy, No Filter is a sweet and sour track aimed at making people dance and cry at the same time, without pretension, but more than promising. 


The story for Yolo is way different. Yolo is about finding peace and joy when stuck in a crisis situation. Yolo is about the celebration of what’s left after the storm. Yolo is about seeing the light at the end of the corridor. Yolo is about inside movement and change. «Bring the palms together, inhale in, deep breathe, here we go»

Songs that have mystery ways to surprise, here is the musical signature of Dominykas JAS. His sets in various Lithuanian clubs led him to step up into production in 2021, creating auditive pieces as journeys into wild and exotic secret lands. 

Pure positive and energy expresses from its tracks, widely influenced by 80’s-90’s electronic music. Travelling through Italo disco, techno and wavy house jungles, this sound adventurer develops a subtile ability to take listeners aboard his tales. 

A perfect match with whypeopledance’s DNA that materializes through his first track’s « Nothing Happened In The East » hosting. An aborted post-modern trip to oriental unknwown red lands, following the yellow and orange suns, winter on the trail. Leading to wide curvy dance movements, in which the everyone’s inner one-true eye truly finds its expressions. Nothing happened in the east, but everything is going on in speakers.
