'Darksidevinyl makes his debut on Steve Lawler’s eVIVE Records label with ‘Black Brain / Aziza’.

Hailing from Egypt and based in Vienna, Darksidevinyl is an artist with formidable talent. Creating a fusion of contemporary Afro Sounds with progressive and captivating melodies, he’s an artist with one foot in the current and one step forward taking a totally fresh direction. Producing since 1998 and spinning a long time before, Darksidevinyl has won over many of his local clubs and events in an international level, Pacha and Privilige in Ibiza as well as being part of the Ministry of Sound network. He excites music lovers and dancers with his special blend of Afro-Melodic to melodic techno sets. With a release schedule that reads like a who’s who of record label royalty for his musical style, it includes Sony Music, MoBlack, Yoshitoshi, Kittball, Selador, Connected Frontline, Monaberry, Go Deeva, Akbal Music and the list goes on so adding his debut release on eVIVE feels like a natural progression. 

Opening the double header, ‘Black Brain’ see’s the producer embrace his love of Afro House delivering a track commanded by flawless percussion. It takes us on a journey full of emotive moments centred around long build breakdowns heightening the anticipation of the drop which delivers on all levels with a symphony of synths leading the way keeping the energy moving and the listeners moving.   

‘Aziza’ takes a more laid-back melodic approach but don’t underestimate the energy this one brings with it. Percussive patterns work perfectly in unison with Spanish guitar lines and a saxophone that takes the track to new heights. We’re instantly transported to sunsets on the White Isle where the music unites us as one and this is the perfect soundtrack. 

This is the work of a producer who has been perfecting his craft overtime with precision and who consistently delivers with musical excellence. '

Koelle & Reza Safinia - Into The Woods [Snippet]

We are excited about this new release. Lerm the young hungarian talent who has already released on our label doing a remix to Cronus presents us his own work. "Eye Of The Beholder" is the name conceived for this Ep which also includes remixes of Abuk and Last Men On Earth. The track that gives name to the work is intense, powerful and elegant. A story with disturbing atmospheres and aggressive elements. Rarest Flower follows an epic path with a constant arpeggio that will help you to keep in mind this masterpiece. Argentinian Abuks remix of "Eye Of The Beholder" is a more eclectic and modern version playing with different synth and effect domains. The also argentinians LMOE created their original version of Rarest Flower and fused it with elements of old drum machines and acid synthesizers having a clear influence of music from previous years. A complete work with different points of view that will please the most demanding ears.

On the A-side, Stars & Satellites opens with crisp drum programming and floating hooks, before a sharp kick & rhythmic percussions open to a bountiful bassline. Build for the club, Hyunji's vocals float in the background, allowing the melodics to lift energy throughout a big build. A bomb from start to finish.

The B-side Badabing is a playful joint, touching upon micro-minimal flavors & acidic tones. Aptly titled, the B-side toys with the mind and bounces across all corners of the brain. This is sure to find the hands of seasoned selectors.
