Berlin's Micropacer makes his return to Exploited Club - following releases on Kendal's Ritmo Fatale, Johannes Albert's Frank Music and Cormac's Polari with 3 slices of pure, unadulterated joy. 

'Splash' kicks off, oozing with sass as an irresistible Italo bass struts along with a square edged heel. Rousing strings swell as a giddy tension bubbles towards a hairs-on-the-neck breakdown that pops to rapturous effect. Synths sparkle, while chopped vocals adorn the melody. All the while that bass maintains its swagger until the end. 

'Foreign Affairs' follows up with more early 80s flair. Here, a fervid piano riff takes the limelight as it shifts through heartstring chords, rubbing sweaty shoulders with stabs and a vocoder. Filters dip the piano as it sinks towards another jubilant drop. 

'Schöne Zeit' closes things up with more bright, spicy drums. The Disco kit kicks in all the right places, propelling another gorgeous tapestry of sound built from swirling tones and sunbeam stabs. Another breakdown unfolds with pure peak-time energy, giving way to flurry of serotonin rounding off a pack of reliable, retro bangers aimed directly under the disco ball.

Theus Mago & Dominik Marz - Pouring Drums Into Your Soul

"Vada" features a captivating collaboration with the iconic Princess Julia, a luminary of London's fashion scene and revered Blitz kid. Their first encounter at the iconic Ghetto nightclub, when Joshua was 19, sparked an infinately creative synergy that has already, together with Clayton Wright, forged the incredible False Idols opening ceremony (check their socials), and now culminates in this remarkable track. With Julia's vocals delivered in Polari, a clandestine Queer language used for covert communication, "Vada" invites listeners to "To Look" through a prism of musical innovation and cultural homage.

For the first track on the ‘Contemporary Part One’ EP on Rekids, Oliver Dollar joins forces with studio wizard ADMN, a musician, TV Lounge resident, Infolines label owner, and affiliate of Carl Craig's Planet E, among many more top labels. Their brilliant 'Before You' featuring Apropos is a soul-drenched house cut with a classic vibe and an irresistible sense of soul thanks to its smooth vocals. The warm synths light up the loose-limbed groove and ensure a good time.

Oliver Dollar and versatile Scottish producer Austin Ato then serve up 'Portamento Track' for the ‘Contemporary Part One’ EP, an uplifting house gem with serene strings adding a touch of class to the impassioned vocal and disco-tinged groove. Last but not least, Detroit mainstay and Michigander label head Brian Kage remixes Oliver Dollar's 'Strings 4 Life', a track from Dollar’s previous EP on Rekids of the same name and which won the support of Paul Woolford, Honey Dijon, Nightmares On Wax and many more. Kage turns the track into a signature slice of Motor City house soul with swooning pads and hip-swinging drums that are aged to perfection.

Berlin-based house connoisseur Oliver Dollar is known for his variety. He explores the genre via deep, soulful, and jacking cuts, constantly innovating on his signature style with plenty of underground hits produced on the likes of Defected, Classic Music, and his own Industry Standard label.

Mexican singer / percussionist / producer/ DJ Pahua comes to Razor-N-Tape via a huge 12” + 7” vinyl remix project featuring some of the hottest producer names in current outer-national dance music.
Originally the singer of beloved Mexican band Sotomayor, Pahua blazed her own solo path in 2020, developing her unique electronic Latin sound through a series of EPs, culminating in the release of her standout Habita LP on Nacional Records in 2023. Garnering millions of streams, Habita established Pahua as an essential voice of modern alternative folk/pop in Latin America.  
Now, Razor-N-Tape brings her sound to the dance floors of the world with a varied remix package that honours the essence of the original music, while flipping it in quintessential RNT club-ready fashion. The list of remixers on this project includes both staples and newcomers to the RNT production stable. Label co-head JKriv turns in a late-nite bass mix of the exceedingly popular ‘Porque Yo,’ Tigerbalm brings her chugging international disco flair to ‘Pa’lante,’ Prince of Queens digs deep with a housey dub of ‘Calla,’ and Londoner Clive From Accounts takes ‘Caña Brava’ into moody nu-disco meets Amapiano territory. 
The label newcomers also deliver in a huge way, with LA-based Captain Planet and Quebecois producer Poirier each revealing very different but equally banging sides of the up-tempo ‘Espantapájaros,’ respectively percussive and thumping, and stripped down and hypnotic. Detroit Latin production legend John Beltran adorns the melancholic ‘Flor de Jazmin’ with a samba-inflected rhythmic foundation and a lush horn arrangement that transports you straight to Cafe del Mar, Ibiza. Mexican producer Belmar rounds out the package with a slow rolling and deep mix of ‘Porque Yo.’

Paradise + acid = Paradacid. Paradacid is a two-part EP that blends the gritty sounds of 303 and 808 machines with the euphoria of warehouse raves and the ambiance of virtual landscapes and Final Fantasy soundtracks.

The essence of "Paradacid" lies in its name—a blend of paradise and acid, symbolizing the fusion of blissful soundscapes with the sharp, distinctive edges of acid house and electro.

Wind Horse records welcomes one of India’s finest electronic music producers - Calm Chor, onto our label for the very first time. This enormously gifted veteran lands a four track EP called ‘So much to Say’ that is a reflection of his more spiritual, ethereal and melodic interests. Distinctly deeper and visibly more emotive than his darker sounds, Calm Chor teams up Rohit Bhusan aka Internal Eye and with Indian Songwriter/VJ and singer Ramona Arena. The Original overlays Ramona’s uplifting and mysterious vocals over this excellent progressive composition. 

The track begins with alluring atmospheres that could immediately transport you into his sonic kingdom. Soothing pads, emotive notes and simple but surreal textures add to the tracks vibe and feel. The bassline is punchy, groovy and catchy when coupled with a simple yet effective drums and percussions. With stringed elements and stabs of Ramona’s amazing voice, the original track is sure going to find its way onto most people’s download must haves. The EP also welcomes Mumbai based DJ/Producer Farhan Rehman and Wind Horse’s very duo of Hamza and Stalvart John on remix duties. 

First up, Farhan gives us his rendition of Calm Chor’s original and it’s distinctly housey. From the groovy, bouncy basslines to mellow, organic soundscapes his remix demonstrates his dance music sensibilities. The track intelligently weaves together asimilar vocal samples with ease and precision and delivers a peak time- deep house bomb that’s definitely going to get fee tapping. 

Hamza’s interpretation of ‘So much to say’ is more stripped down, intimate and dubby with a unmistakable Detroit house music soul. With minimal fuss, the track transcends it’s many forms to don that of a dub-techno and house groovey that can get any club’s dance floors up and at it in an instant! 

The EP closes out with some proper 303 action as Stalvart John give the tune, a ‘full acid treatment’ with a hint of nostalgia and adds his traditional disco vibe and influence. A reprogrammed, gnarly bassline greets echoed out vocals and as much acid as you can take. You can be sure of some proper dancefloor moments with this banger.
