It might sound like an overlooked European dance record from 1985, but “Surrender” is a catchy Pop oriented production with strong influences from Italodisco and HiNRG, written and produced entirely from scratch by Benny Howell (aka DJ Subaru) and his friend Bella Quirin. Innocent and charming lyrics over 120’s BPM drum machine and a simple melody that you’ll be humming in the back of your mind for days to come. The remix on the B-side by Castro takes a darker turn into what almost sounds like a Techno version with heavy dubbed out effects taking the “Surrender” theme through an unhinged Ketamine flanger vortex.

This project is a tribute to the sounds and styles that have inspired him.”
Dalmata Daniel, with the seventh installment of the lathe cut series, invites us on a time travel journey. 11 years ago, on a hot and acidic July evening, the SILF guys secluded themselves in the Ballacid studio in the concrete jungle of Újpest to dive into the night with their analog setup. During the jam session, led by the TB303 bass synthesizer, these two timeless classic acid variations were born from a single theme. ‘Tot-O’ is the darker, more rugged stomper, while ‘Tot-A’ is the lighter, more upbeat acid-house track, featuring the playful use of the TR707 and TR727 drum machines by the duo.

We land near an intertidal zone wondering what enchants this world and its waters. Coral Morphologic 2 is inspired by the corals’ cosmic ability to synchronize their lives to Earth’s daily rotation upon its axis, the Moon’s monthly trip around Earth, and Earth’s yearly orbit of the Sun.
