former half of the defunct pitch & hold duo under the banner of which he operated from 2006 to 2011, simon halsberghe steps up on brussels’ very own vlek with his debut solo ep as simon hold. first heard on vlek s 2016 mix for resident advisor as they were appointed label of the month by the high­ranking platform last autumn, maqam bruxelloise reflects the wide­angle beauty and compelling diversity of the belgian capital and its throbbing heart, a city at the confluence of cultures and languages. across a finely­layered interplay of synthetic modulations and intricate polyrhythms, hold lays out a riveting kaleidoscope of pattern­welded textures and prismatic synth motifs played and arranged accordingly to a contemporary interpretation of the traditional arabic maqam system of improvisation the track draws its title from. an ode to brussels all­embracing effervescence. translating as -soft drone- or -pleasant noise-, the gritty dhajij doux then welcomes you into a more disquieting, bipolar audio scenario that evokes the reality of living -in a sometimes difficult and hostile city-. a curiously matching negative of the opener, in this that it taps into the same generous and plural matrix universe as main source of inspiration, but eventually opens on a more nuanced outcome, here hold clearly shows a further abrasive facet of his work: harsh and vibrant, the track may be replete with a lead­heavy amalgam of sizzling bass and jagged drumwork thrown into the furnace, light and hope still manage threading their way through dark clouds and turbulence, slowly but surely turning this rough­hewn stone into a truly haunting gem.

galaxies in our universe seem to be achieving an impossible feat. they are rotating with such speed that the gravity generated by their observable matter could not possibly hold them together, they should have torn themselves apart long ago. this leads us to believe that something we cannot see is at work. this strange and unknown matter is called “dark matter” since it is not visible.
dark matter affects the speed, structure and evolution of everything, yet its nature remains a mystery we are yet to explore. this potent, affecting darkness is paralleled in dewalta s newest creation, a double 12“ vinyl release on amphia.

in 2016. i rented out a small piano studio in east london for nearly the whole year and set out to write an introspective, trendless, and mostly beatless album. inspired by albums from this mortal coil and scott walker, who also sought freedom to work outside of the expectations of their previous work, i limited the instrumentation to mostly an acoustic piano and effects, which left space to expose a lot of emotional vulnerabilities about myself and people close to me. writing lullabies about being a mother in a dystopian world, with pensive words about swimming against the current as a female artist, i felt free enough to tell untold truths that i’ve never felt comfortable talking about within music. free, liberated, empowered. naked.

delving deeper into the oubys universe, beyond known and unknown territory. a true trip from start to finish, and backwards!

frederic bergamaschi from bretagne, who produce under a few monikers like infinity night, which could be familiar, if you are a voyageur of the space-roller disco universe.

a quasar is the most luminous object in the known universe. it emits extreme amounts of visible light, but radiates like crazy on all other wavelengths, as well. here you can get as close to a particularly energetic quasar as no man has ever been before - during an adventurous space flight with felix eul and a bunch of other well-travelled sound cosmonauts. this voyage takes you to the final frontiers and beyond where you might even encounter strange aliens like the pianoctopus, known to sneak its tentacles into the ears of unsuspecting astronauts and to tickle their skullcaps from the inside. by the way, during our flight we might experience turbulences which you will experience as sudden, adrenaline-loaded outbursts of euphoria. they are caused by transdimensional discharges along the wings of our spaceship, a phenomenon known as interplay.

darauf kann man sich verlassen: wo joey negro draufsteht, ist tanzmusik drin. seit der 13-jährige david russell lee 1977 in einer tv sendung den song boogie nights von heatwave hörte, ist er vom disco-virus infiziert. und den ist er bis heute nicht mehr losgeworden. obwohl produced with love erst sein zweites eigenständiges album nach universe of love von 1993 ist, hat joey negro in den vergangenen dekaden mächtige spuren im dance-bereich hinterlassen. nicht nur produzierte er zahlreiche chartbreaker, dancefloor-kracher und remixe unter diversen pseudonymen (jakatta, raven maize, doug willis, prospect park u.v.a.m.), vor allem war er für grace jones, diana ross, deep dish, lionel richie, mariah carey, tears for fears, ultra nate, masters at work, roy ayers, blaze und roger sanchez aktiv. hinzu kommen kollaborationswerke, bandprojekte und eine reihe herausragender kompilationen wie die house masters-serie, remixed with love, disco not disco oder kings of house. kurz: ob mainstream oder underground, joey negro ist ein mann der superlative, bei dem einfach jeder beat, jedes hook und jeder loop perfekt sitzt.

london’s luna monk steps up to bat for silver lake and delivers two cuts of beatless, otherworldly ambience spanning a total of just over 26 irresistible minutes. an ep of two sides, of sunshine and rain, this is an exploration of light and dark, and all the areas in between. on the a side ‘sun kiss’ breathes and pulsates like a sunrise in slow motion, solar flares slowing burning away the morning mist of a melancholy dawn. a product of london, over its evolving duration it nonetheless bares more than a passing nod to the land of the rising sun.
over on the b, ‘sun setting blues’ changes tact and provides the perfect juxtaposition. this is submersive and aquatic, fractured static noise broadcast to the never ending universe whilst rain streaks down the outside of the window. eventually celestial voices break through the abyss and drag us back from the void. truly immersive work, without doubt salvaged from the bottom of a distant alien ocean...

when the universe brings together two superstitious middle children, born in the same year, under the same star sign, living on two different continents, extraordinary things can happen.
sometimes the timing is so right and the draw is so strong that not even an ocean as wide as the atlantic can stand in the way.
djustin was always meant to be.

keeping true to the yin/yang approach of his 12inches, martianman gives you a glimpse into his ever-expanding universe with the release of vol. 3. the impenetrable pads of ion storm strike the dark and uplifting in equal amounts. disembodied chants and deep bass tremors give way to a thunderous amen break, while hallucinatory synths swirl throughout the madness, just beyond reach. an intergalactic barnstormer in signature style. tracy’s grunt, meanwhile, is built around a simple jazz loop, dripping with melancholy, backed in stark contrast to a loose, clattering funk kit. in ital comfort quickly becomes a beautiful descent into madness, where steady rhythms decay into warped electronics and bad-trip samples. a vividly painted lucid dream.

leaning against a wall, his shirt unbuttoned to his navel and cradling a tumbler of something strong and sophisticated, tony igiettemo looks every bit the smooth talking 80s gent. when you put hot like fire on the turntable and drop the needle, however, it is immediately clear that smooth tony is also a little bit freaky. sirens, slap bass, squelchy synths and a titchy high hat that just won’t give up, hot like fire is a cosmic call from a dance floor on the far side of the universe.

bitter end emerge from the ashes of 2016 with a message of positivity and protest beamed from the near future keen eyed aficionado s may spot the homage to mel cheron s classic us label west end records here but while their motto may have been where the sun sets & the stars rise bitter end records embarks on a distinctly more 21st century path to dancefloor salvation... 003 sees a welcome return to utilising the full sonic reach of the 12- single, with these two 21st century power-dancers for strobe-lit moments of praise. can t stop explores a walter gibbons approach to teasing a groove to within an inch of its life, and what a groove. the disco at the end of the universe may well be beaming this one up, such is its sheer intergalactic and unrelenting bad assery. we recently witnessed this unite a dancefloor in such wild abandon it should come with an age restriction ! flip for fat of the land a gorgeous and utterly absorbing, stripped back modern hymn the bitter end - years ahead !

if you’re setting out on an epic voyage to the electronic disco universe, it pays to recruit an experienced pilot. when it comes to intergalactic musical fusion, few are quite as experienced as cosmic disco pioneer and noted dancefloor explorer daniele baldelli. produced alongside friend and regular studio partner dario piana, zero gravity cannily updates baldelli’s early ‘80s cosmic disco blueprint for the 21st century. we think that the ep contains some of his strongest music to date, with each of the three cuts offering subtle nods to the italian maestro’s original cosmic club ethos. a-side “infinity machine” expertly combines many of baldelli’s greatest musical inspirations into one mind-bending late night workout. underpinned by a druggy, arpeggio style bassline, the track rises and falls through waves of funk-rock guitars, crunchy clavinet lines and intertwined synthesizer solos. throw in jammed-out electric pianos, and you have a near perfect fusion of cosmic disco and blazed funk-rock. the producer’s long-held love of african rhythms surfaces on “if you drive”, where bold acid bass, ricocheting percussion hits and weightless chords combine beautifully with starry melody lines and vintage analogue synthesizer motifs. it’s afro-cosmic for the nu-disco generation. a fine ep is completed by “air lock”, in which baldelli and piana pepper a rubbery, electrofunk-influenced groove with cascading synthesizer melodies, swirling pads and a swathe of fuzzy, eyes-closed guitar solos. it’s bold and assertive, but also as otherworldly and stratospheric as you’d expect from a pioneer at the peak of his powers.

cosmic club 17s in the house, and for this one skylax have delved deep into the mystic universe of the ultra prolific photonz with a four track ep quite simply out of this dimension ! photonz is the artist name of marco rodrigues, a london-based dj and producer who s been championing the new sound of portuguese house and techno worldwide since the early 2000s. he has done tracks for various labels such as crème organization, unknown to the unknown, hot haus, the -cult- dissident and many more. his first cut -memories of burma- that gave the title to the ep is an infinite groove that builds and builds with arabic synths, a perfect crossover between balearic & old school jackin house. -baronrevxp- & -agape- moves into the same territories with some sharp clap, hi hats and some big retro vintage sounds. while -stealth predator- catches him at his most experimental, upping the tempo and unleashing an ambitious techno juke roller, think about drexcya, 1990s techno, plink plonk and you re not even close ! photonz music sounds extremely big for the big rooms, and still very large indeed for the smaller ones.his music is praised by the chemical brothers, jackmaster, optimo, ivan smagghe, daniel avery, james holden, ewan pearson, auntie flo, tim sweeney, just to name a few. ”memories of burma” ep is not just a cosmic experience, but a voyage into the realms of a producer in a world of his own. must have. essential item. skylax records 4 ever

* this is akiko kiyama s 4th full-length album, stemming from two years of exploration outside her established dance floor inclinations, boiling down her sound to its essential organic grooves, intricate harmonies and eery atmospheres. the nature of her organic grooves lies within inter-sound gaps, carefully crafted to lead the listener through time distortions and into an hypnotic solitary world where music is breathed, not played. a sound imprinted of a definitely human character and vigor, yet sometimes ambiguous, fleeting, and capricious. from her peculiar sense of harmony and rhythm, and a meticulous minimal approach to composition, emerges rich lyrical lines forming a unique musical universe that few has had the chance to hear yet.
