Club Paradiso – Panoramica [MGCP001]

CLUB PARADISO - Panoramica

An hypnotic and groovy journey that starts off with ‘Batongo’, a tribal and exotic dancefloor banger that will let the sweat out of the listener in zero time. ‘Espresso Notte’ is filled with organic house grooves, dreamy pads and a synth that tells you a story that could go on and on and on. ‘Gulliver’ and ‘Litoraneo’ pick up from there and bring the sound scenario down heavy with 70s-80s disco sounds and boogie, transporting mind and body to a warm and mellow planet. Panoramica reflects perfectly Club Pradiso’s goal of mixing past and future, an über-cool EP that is both club and disco friendly.

PUSSYCAT - Le Chat

Limited edition remastered reissue of an obsure Italian Balearic Disco song produced and arranged by Victorio Pezzolla. The plus on this limited edition reissue is that the production is directly handled by the former producer to obtain a more accurate sound compared from the first release.

Ben Sims – Gamma Ray Subway EP [DRH055]

hipodrome, , , Leave a comment

Four techno banging tracks by UK Legend Ben Sims, on the A side Rippin & Skippin is this relentless Jackin heavy Techno jam. Gamma Ray Subway is a Funky Hypnotic and repetitive jam that can somehow be pictured in a Jeff Mills set, while on the B side it’s Acid attack. The Stalker is a darky heavy monster, while Acid OD is a dope and raw Acid jam.

Heartless – Impulse Model [126D-03]

hipodrome, , Leave a comment

The first release from Heartless on Steve Bicknell’s 6dimensions. Acid tinged techno lives throughout the EP. Hazy modular sequences, sizzling precision crushed atop of a constant kick drum creating an organic aesthetic. Impulse Model exudes human emotion, the EP’s emotional depth lies beneath its techno construct within coarse and bruised production which gives the release a confidently imperfect aura. The production process for Heartless is a ‘way of absorbing things that have happened and completely escaping from them’, ultimately Heartless has composed an EP that condones escapism whilst the listener stays firmly rooted in their emotional state.

Nuel – Tecnica [SEM086]

hipodrome, , , Leave a comment

Manuel Fogliata is one of Italian techno’s most singular artists and deservedly gets lumped in with the modern sound of Rome alongside such greats as Donato Dozzy: whom he’s collaborated with as Aquaplano. The Madrid based Semantica imprint is a fitting home for his style of tribal-trance techno, which incorporates hypnotic elements (much like his peers) but with more emphasis on polyrhythms: his niche. A side cut “Blue-Ray” is one such track: a Roman raindance.. if we’ve ever heard such a thing! On the flip, he’s got you covered for droning/tripped-out late night adrenaline on “Caustic” while “Deep Thought” really does rate him up there with legends like Mike Parker or Cio D’or when its comes to conjuring those ghosts in the machine: this is real heady techno geared for some proper ‘WTF’ moments on the dancefloor.

L’amour Fou – Dujuan [SMALLVILLE052]

Due to thyphoon Dujuan, Move D and his friends Benoit Bouquin & Marco Wollenberg were trapped in the studio for a few days, when David visited Taipei in 2015 to play Corner Club. All the flights to and from the island were cancelled during the storm, so the three had some extended studio- and red-wine sessions. Looking back from now- these were all worth it and the best thing that could happen- 3 hazy and timeless cuts from the eye of Dujuan.

Frame Of Mind is back with another re-issue of a 25 year old record. Gerd’s very first house release called Afterglow, produced under the alias of It’s Thinking together with two of his (highschool) friends Mark and Dirk-Jan, was picked up by John Acquaviva for release on the short lived Plus 8 subsidiary called Malego back in 1992. The EP features five warm and atmospheric house tracks recorded at a dark attic room somewhere in the west of Holland in 1991. These days Afterglow is quite a sought after record that rarely turns up cheap on discogs.

Hamburg’s Achim Maerz arrives on DBA with an expansive twelve track package. Split across a 12″ ep and a cassette, ‘Experiments’ is a collection of live, improvised house jams recorded in the summer of 2015 in the artist’s home studio. The title refers to the fast and rough recording of the material, with the aim of catching a mood before process and self-awareness take over.

LuvJam adds a few sexy dream nips for those DJ’s who like to add another dimension.

FRUSCIANTE, John aka TRICKFINGER - Trickfinger II

The Trickfinger project was recorded 10 years ago with no intention of being released at the time, made purely for discovery and learning experience. ‘In my opinion, making music with no intention of releasing it is the best thing a musician can do for his own development in this day and age. The Trickfinger LP was made in that mindset, and it was the beginning of a new musical life for me. When I hear it, it sounds like I am opening up doorways to new worlds, and I never have had that feeling listening to music I made for the purpose of releasing it and selling it.’
