Here is the starting point for the podcast series. The first mix is from Toygun, a young dj from Hermannstadt , Romania. He delivers a 2 hours mix with more than 40 chicago, electro, disco and italo tracks.
I hope you enjoy it, I certainly did.
In fast times of today it’s hard to keep up with the pace of everything, not just with the flood of releases. Paul Virilio once wrote that Indians refused to take a train. They said they would lose their soul, because the soul can’t keep up with the speed of the train. Secret Weapons Vol. 4 should be your opportunity to let the train pass by and rather listen to its contributions by Larry Heard, Boddhi Satva, Tuff City Kids and Dixon.
Room With A View family welcomes Toronto’s Stuart Li with this monster 3 tracker. Stuart’s hybrid, futuristic & rooted work found his way through the RWAV cosmos and these 3 tracks have been shaped & selected carefully to represent closely this highly personal sound travel between past, present & future.
For release number 207, Ovum welcome D’Julz back to Ovum Recordings. A stunning three track EP that once again highlights D’Julz’s genial knowledge of the dancefloor. ‘Second Hand Feet’ sees him exploring the power of the “groove”. Whilst on the flip we are treated to two choice cuts in ‘Baka Gaijin’ and ‘Brace Brace’ which, taking influence from his times in 90′s NYC, are set to tear up today’s floors in London, Berlin and far beyond.
For the latest Offkey release, we turned to some of our favourite producers to remix our previous release, ‘From The Periphery’. Remixers for this ep are: Schatrax, Todd Sines, KiNK and The Subliminal Kid.
Faze Action decided to take the whole band in to the recording studios with Nathan Curran aka Tugg on Drums , Rob Lee on Bass, Pete z on Keys (who has also played for the likes of Rub N Tugg and DJ Harvey ), Simon Lee congas and percussion, Mary Moore on vocals and Rob Lee on guitar. Here is the result. Watch out for Rudy’s Midnight Machine Mix.
New York’s Neurotic Drum Band open up their recent (and perfectly titled) “Robotic Hypnotic Adventure” to a trio of classy remixes. Fellow New Yorker Abu Duque channels his techno roots into this more disco-shaped mix by keeping the bass deep and powerful and adding plenty of huge dynamic builds, all built around the original’s warped piano parts. The Runaway mix keeps things more blissful and Balearic, while Harkin and Raney add some deep and dark strings to their mix – a pleasing counterpoint to the original’s old-school piano-house vibe.
Koze on his debut ‘Rue Burnout EP’ from his own Pampa label, he plays with finesse and sophistication, and implicitly understands the importance of subtlety, leading from dreamy and restrained parts to a noisy frenzy at the end.
After the huge success of his selftitled debut in 2007 CHICAGO is the second album of the Berlin-based Producer and DJ who releases his music under his moniker EFDEMIN with DIAL Records. CHICAGO is definitely the top match of Dial’s 10 Years Anniversary releases. Efdemins new works can be regarded as the turning point of a trend based house and techno scene into a new contemporary anti trend movement.
Remixes by Lawrence and KiNK & Neville Watson from two tracks taken from the ‘Before We Say Goodbye’ album.
New label Danny Was A Drag King and the first release from Ajello featuring Fred Ventura vocals. Nostalgic Italo disco with remixes by Ali Renault, Crimea X and King Of Basia.
Coming straight from the innermost creative vision and craftsmanship of Airdrop’s cherished Andres Zacco is this delectable record, designed with dexterous techniques and impeccable taste.
Both tracks are straight out his current live set showing demanded typical “Jacker” style as well as some kind of a new Jackmate vibe: even more warm and analog pressure combined with charming Detroitish harmonies.
Zurich based duo Azuni, Gianni Siravo and Sven Lacoste, is into proper house and techno music and the “Rotate EP” is another classic exemple of the Azuni sound: straight beats combined with harmonic syths and catchy vocals!
Detroit deep-house veteran will tempt us with his loops and chords for this new release for Shanti Records!
