cedric k gasaida aka starving yet full (singer of former canadian band azari & iii) and victor karzalov (half of russian duo bypass), are about to release their first vinyl ep, drawn 2 u, under the moniker blent, on newly launched french label empirical magnetism

this release - a collaboration between ali x (alphonse from azari & iii) and mexicos theus mago - turns the heat up all the way to on and just leaves it there. the lyrical content of the title track would lead many to use descriptors like sexy, sleazy, and steamy like you wouldnt even believe, and while the music also bears that out its important to remember not to stigmatize something that almost everyone does at least a couple of times a week. vision, meanwhile, offers the perfect b-side accompaniment, a sci-fi techno workout where you dont even have to think about sex if you dont want to. the ep features dub versions of both tracks for more stripped-down club sets aimed at people who understandably have problems with the sound of the human voice. it also includes a remix by curses, whom we recently bumped into (he says cornered) in berlin and asked if hed provide one of his trademark eerie downtempo excursions. long story short: he said yes.

incl thomass jackson & ali x x palomo remixes

nicolas lattansio, aka shit, was raised in temperley, a small borough in the city of buenos aires, argentina. in 1996, he had his first encounter with electronic music and has been inseparable ever since. hes in love with the beats and the dance floor. his tracks are played by the likes of djs pareja, alejandro paz, carisma and mijo. hes the founder and resident dj of te re cagamos la fiesta and tokyo, the festival. he defines his music as indie techno, with strong beats, vocals and plenty of attitude. without a doubt, shit is one of the most powerful projects in the neighborhood. the solo en la pista ep shows shit s veritable force in the blooming indie-techno scene growing out of mexico and south america, and the remix with mexico city s ali x x ximena (former azari iii) is an extremely strong dance floor track that has proven itself upon many floors and festivals from burning man and beyond over the course of 2017 in preparation for it s public launch this year.
