Alive (Solomun Remix)

The formidable Rex The Dog returns with his first single for Kompakt in three years, “Change This Pain For Ecstasy”, a slow-burning disco-glitter stomp that’s charged with analogue energy. Pushing his self-built modular hardware set-up to its limits, “Change This Pain For Ecstasy” is taut and thrilling, stripped-back and pulsating, with sweeping chords shimmering through a classic Moroder arpeggio, as a delirious voice sings out a psychedelic raver’s plaint for liberation, pleading for you to "take away my sorrow and this pain”. Deeply emotional, it’s also a masterwork in tension and release, dizzy with snare-rush peaks, and dark, humid valleys where Rex is bound to the patchbay.

On the flipside, Rex gives us “Moto”, which tickles your ear with cymatic phenomena, its gentle vibrations building, beautifully, into a monster-piece of stealth techno. Rex’s DIY synths work overtime as he chases patterns and phases through circuitry, wilding the tones until they erupt into a spray of pointillist pizzicato. The sounds here crackle and corrode, the textures so tantalising, so sensual, you can almost grab hold of them with your hands. It’s great to have Rex The Dog back, making livewire, yet deeply human techno, alive and bursting with electricity.

Dive back into the past with Emanuel Satie and DJ T’s hypnotic „The Feeling“ EP. Dial your mind to Ibiza ’98 and get transported into the deep and seemingly endless sets on the White Isle while the sun is slowly setting over the Mediterranean.
Title track „This Feeling“ is emblematic of the already reminiscent emotion experienced while something great is coming to an end, most prominently induced by the melancholic keys. Don’t be sad it’s ending - be grateful you’ve been a part.
„Shine“ continues in a similar fashion, but in its own way. The stacking of keys and arps in similar intonation but different octaves creates a beautiful kaleidoscope of sound.
And closing off the EP is „Something On My Mind“ that takes you on a journey into your own self. Close your eyes and drift apart.

The Four To The Floor 29 is here.
Opening track „Dance With Ibiza“ by Ugo Banchi with its bouncy groove is like the unison movements of a big crowd of dancers, each individual, but united through the same pulsating beat.
AFFKT’s „Ganbatte“ starts out as a gentle affair with a myriad of tiny plucks, like the dance of luminescent plankton in the dark night ocean, slowly swelling into one big wave.
„Star Wars“ by Matara is a sombre, almost dystopian track - imagine an array of out of control assembly line robots that suddenly gained consciousness and write their own compositions. Precise, effective, futuristic.
And closing off the FTTF29 is „Hypo“ by Carl Bee, a fast paced techno stomper that feels like a perfect storm.

„I just wanna feel your sweat on my body“ - Miami-based Nala paints erotic pictures on the brute bass beat of Catz ’n Dogz in „Me Me Me“. Hushes, moans and a dark and sultry energy fill the room, melting everyone into one entity of skin and leather that moves in unison.
„Hot Mess“, ups the tempo but keeps the lights low, with flashes of strobe freezing images of bizarre faces in darkest corners of the club, while the priestess Nala speaks her truth in ceremony.
A record like a ritual, it awakens animalistic spirits that we give in to when we find ourselves without thoughts on the dance floor.

Israeli duo Clüb De Combat deliver a naughty club record to Diynamic and demonstrate their signature Acid House sound.
Opening track „Time" together with Rex The Dog whacks you with a nasty bass line, a hypnotic crushed vocal and those old school analog percussions that won't let you sit still.
„Delirio" hits like a high speed pursuit in an action movie - wailing police sirens, the smell of burnt rubber and crashing through obstacles in order to escape your opponent.
And „Shine" starts off chill, but then quickly ignites with energetic, catchy stabs and syncopated vocals that will have you grooving along from the very first beat.

After their first Diynamic release in 2021, French-Moroccan duo WAHM return to the label with a new 3-tracker titled „Rave Love“.
The opening/title track starts out with warm percussive elements, a crunchy bass and a cool vocal line. In signature WAHM style they spice things up with jazzy piano chords and keep the energy high with alternating between calm suspense and wild excitement.
„Una Canción" hits us with a more acid-y vibe, while a Spanish narrator serenely guides our journey.
And closing off the record is „Rogue Embrace“, a vibrant Indie Dance tune with that takes us through the highs and lows of love and longing.

Clüb de Combat return to Diynamic with a three-tracker titled „Exciter“.
For the opening track the duo have put their own spin on the essential club classic „House Every Weekend“, their version takes you to a pumpin' 90's "House Anthem". Infectious energy guaranteed!
„Party of the Year“ is a collaboration with Matt Guy and brings peak time energy with by its machine gun groove.
And title track „Exciter“ transports us into dark and hazy clubs in the depths of night, where the only thing we see are sudden flashes of strobe light, but we feel the heat of the dancing bodies all around.

After his standout hit 'Yumi' on Diynamic in 2023, Notre Dame has embraced his newfound notoriety, touring the globe with shows from Tokyo to London, from Miami to Paris. Now he is finally returning to Diynamic with a follow-up EP titled 'Citizen 99'.
Opener track 'Soda' is a bright and hopeful but simultaneously melancholic piece, with catchy piano chords and a steady suspense build that is perfect for outdoor festival closing moments.
'FE3L' pops off with 80s influenced percussions and robotic vocals, it's like the ode of a computer coming to life and realizing it's being chased by other forces to get its power switched off, but it won't let them.
Title track 'Citizen 99' is a more clerical, almost celestial theme of bells and choirs which counterpoints with rough Atlanta-type rap vocals to create an energetic dance floor hybrid.
And closing off the EP is 'Love 404', bundling witch-house elements with auto-tuned and crushed vocals into a beautifully mesmerizing tune to close your eyes to.
