The Remixes
Elektro Guzzi cook up their unique sounds with the classic rock set-up of guitar, bass, and drums and sound like no other act out there. Here it is tunes from their 'Lost Tracks' EP from 2023 that get reworked into all-new sonic realms. First up is label mainstay Ken Hayakawa, the Austrian who brings his classical piano schooling to his music. He delivers great melodic drama in his version of 'Walk With Me'. It has elegant synths dancing above the drums and a grand sense of scale and emotion. Next is youANDme, a core part of the underground with a famously deep and dubbed-out sound on labels like Rhythm Cult and Rotary Cocktail Recordings. He remixes 'Walk With Me' into a smoky basement groove with a moody sense of atmosphere that comes alive with gentle tinkles on the piano and delicate vocal murmurs. Last but not least is DJ Hell, the boss of the legendary International DJ Gigolo label, a pioneer of the electroclash sound and creative talent who transcends music. His Burundi Black remix of 'Aqua' is full of texture and fizzing pads, broken glass sounds, and soot-black post-punk aesthetics that are perfect for a strobe-lit warehouse. These are three highly effective and original remixes designed to bring something different to the dance floor.

Hold This Down EP
The inspiring run of debutants on Watergate Records continues, as Ede & Deckert step up to the plate. The pair are a newly minted production partnership, having dropped a strong collaborative single 'Immer' on Running Back last September, featuring vocalist 'Sargland' that blurred the lines between indie dance and post punk. Outside of this, Deckert has dropped heat on Connected and Stil Vor Talent, and is one half of live electronic act Deorbiting, while the emerging Ede has credits on Innervisions and Correspondent to his name. When paired together, their work hits different. 'Hold This Down' is an exhilarating tune of the highest order, as a pacey nu-disco is paired with a sped up vocal hook to create a very fun, pop-leaning gem. Robert Johnson resident Maruwa takes the original to another level, upping the tempos and intensity for a slamming techno re-rub. 'Buri Buri' is a cutting-edge genre-hopper mixing up influences from European house and UK bass with inspiring freshness.

Leeloo
Berlin based DJ and producer Michael Lane lands on Polari imprint with an energetic debut three-track EP entitled Leeloo. Michael on the production process; "I love trying to find the sweet spot between fun and emotional, where you start clicking your fan then get swept up into something deeper. For this EP I relied on old favourites like cowbells, congas and squelchy bass as a foundation, then brought in sounds like Vangelis' CS-80, Prophet brass, and Mellotron choir to elevate things. I hope they hit that sweet spot and can be a tool to help transition a dancefloor from one feeling to another. I've been a big fan of Cormac for a long while, so it's an honour and an utter delight to be releasing these on Polari." Cormac continues on Lane's release; I met Michael some time ago at the airport. He's been sending me edits and tracks since then, many of which have ended up in my sets. I think this ep is a great intro of Michaels musical style and knowledge. I'm touched that his debut EP is with Polari. Out on 3rd of May digitally, the EP embodies a signature Polari sound transcending time and space and immersing listeners into a time capsule of sweaty disco all-nighters.

Infinity
Budakid is back on Exploited with an impassioned 2-tracker. A regular at the Gardens Of Babylon events, Budakid has honed a distinctive shade of heartstring House and Indie Dance which has touched labels such as Permanent Vacation and Berlin's Watergate. Here, he delivers 2 travel tickets for 2 disparate trips. 'Infinity' is a journey in the truest sense of the word. Through an effervescent bass sequence, clever filter control and kinetic drum work, Budakid generates consistent motion from start to finish. Euphoric melodies are layered as the track gathers lucency before a wide open breakdown renders a patch of interstellar drifting. Distant snares snap overhead as the bass sequence courses into focus, reeling the listener back into the pilot's seat toward a vibrant conclusion. 'The Curse' then illuminates some gooey, 90's memories. Nostalgic chords are given buoyancy by snappy, Bicep-esque breaks and a pair of synth lines that are braided together - tumbling over one another as they carry the tracks energy. A sense of contrast and tension imbues the groove throughout another voyage that's guaranteed to soundtrack many memorable dance floor moments.

Blades
Blades" sees Moderna team up with longtime collaborator Theus Mago. Their established chemistry, forged over almost a decade with four acclaimed EPs together, is evident in this track.

My Name Is Desire EP
In a past life, Dutch producer LUPE was a go-go dancer, and their latest release for Sous Music, 'My Name Is Desire', evokes the halcyon years of the underground vogue scene. The title track is a slamming, hi-NRG ballroom odyssey with infectious synths that whir like electric zippers and a delicious come-hither female vocal. 'Ramrod', perhaps named after the infamous leather bar in New York in the '70s, bristles with bubbling energy. Clattering percussion, a hold-tight pace and festive vocal snatches combine in a bouncing club delight. Taking the pedal off the gas slightly, 'Miss Thing' brings the mood back from boiling point to a strong simmer. A tension building transition track, it will keep the dancefloor cooking without sending it into overdrive. 'Battle Beat' shifts back into a higher gear, its driving drums and crunchy, reverbed snares channelling a more hypnotic kind of delirium. Best dropped after the party has well and truly hit its stride. Riding a long introduction, closer 'The Essence' gets a little freaky at the 2-minute mark. Disco goblin vocals and cinematic horns add an air of drama to this dark journey that's equal parts unnerving and intoxicating. Across five uniquely captivating club cuts, LUPE demonstrates that decades of experience have enhanced rather than dulled their instinct for high-impact floor-fillers.

Paranoid Disco Club
Having lived in Berlin, Paris, Hamburg & Barcelona among other cities, Alemao has been soaking up music in Europe's most renowned house & techno clubs for more than a decade. He started gracing the face of the world with vibrating air molecules in Dublin in 2016 where he has not only earned his nickname 'Alemao' but also played regularly at Pygmalion, sharing bills with the likes of Âme, Jennifer Cardini or The Drifter. Written & produced shortly after his daughter saw the light of day, the collection of tunes opens with Akyre, where Alemao takes us in a rather dark and stomping Italo territory, accompanied by a haunting voice (which is actually one of the most used vocal samples in history, but we'll leave the mystery hanging there). On Spatzi, Alemao unfolds a headier side of his sound, where dizzying synth sequences flirt with overdriven guitar-like synths, before closing the round of originals with the eponymous 'Paranoid Disco Dub' - as the name suggests, a more experimental cut with references to Deep Dub-Techno & Psychedelia, where one could easily get lost dancing together with his own mind in the deep shadows of a dark and sweaty club. Last but not least, Rigopolar also makes his first appearance on HIFI/LOFI by delivering a sublime and very filmic revision of Akyre, which makes us want to ask the universe if we could please have a combined sequel of Drive and Stranger Things coming out soon in order to have his remix landing on the ending credits, someone please make it happen. 'Paranoid Disco Club' - Out May 3rd on HIFI/LOFI Records.

Trans Pennine Express II
The boys are back in town with a B-A-N-G! PBR Streetgang take a trip onboard the Trans Pennine Express for a follow up to their previous Sprechen outing and as you'd expect its a full throttle aural delightful dishing out of electronic music movers & grovers. With one foot in the Italo disco and the other in the dank & murky underbelly of Berlin squat raves this is indeed one that slaps hard. Gamma Ray is a straight up chugger with a hypnotic stack of arps that you get lost in before some wonky style ear worms synth lines pop by to mess with your endorphins before its back to bubbling basics. Simplistic, trippy & banging in equal measures. Delivery Man ramps it right up to peak time pinging action and its all kind of late night, body jacking brilliance. Rolling arps & bass line get you mind surfing along with a laser reaching style breakdown along the way. Again totally simple in its nature but its hefty as heck and will defo do the damage. Space Cake is almost an amalgamation of the 2 previous tracks. Chuggy & thudding but also with some seriously tripped out synth lines that engulf you & totally wrap around your psyche and yes, it also has a mega hyped breakdown. Big indeed! We roped in some of our finest to provide remixes for this jaunt. Sprechen head honcho Chris Massey takes on Gamma Ray and sprinkles some his Thief Of Time type dust into the equation to deliver an 80's-ALFOS-Synth heavy rework. Big banging mega human Gina Breeze remixes Delivery Man and turns in a twisted, tweaky & straight up banging late night/early morning houser that stomps & whallops at gale force #50.

Miedo
Dark and alluring, IDORU's latest shows off minimalism laced with cyber- futuristic sounds and electro beats that will grab you like sticky tentacles. Suede textured bass lines and edgy vocals combine tension and romance that ebb & flow throughout the track. Encapsulated by echoey reverb, Miedo will simultaneously drop you into the abyss while leaving you afloat in a black, velveteen pool. Balancing the scales of light and dark, French DJ and Producer Mala Ika whips up an airy atmosphere and shines a burst of light in her Italo style remix, for a stellar pairing on this EP. Quote: 'The moment true love strikes feels like a flicker of profound isolation and existential fear, while simultaneously cloaking you in ecstasy. But whenever fear or doubt creeps in, the sound of someone's voice, or looking into their eyes, like magic, can shock you right back into that realm of total bliss, reminding you of what really matters. These experiences are what inspired Miedo, which means fear. The most meaningful bits of life come from knowing fear. I'm really excited that Mala Ika remixed this track because she has a truly original sound and a natural lightness in her music which, for Miedo, is the yang to my yin.'

Picture: Rafael Cerato
Diynamic welcomes Rafael Cerato as the next host of its „Picture" series. Each ‚Picture" is a document in time, showcasing an artist's current creative output in order to allow the listener to visualise and understand the artist in a certain period. It is a mini-album with various dancefloor-oriented facettes of one producer, shaping the imagery that ultimately results in the listeners mind. Get spiritual with opener „Sporadic", an early 90's inspired rave anthem with a dark ceremonial voice chanting over the peak time tune. „Ya Body" makes you sweat with its dance floor workout energy, followed by „Say Stop!", an uplifting House track with a cheeky bass line. The sultry voice of Astrid James leads us through the dark catacombs of melodic techno thumper „No More Stress" like we are underneath the streets of Paris. Dark disco vibes glisten on „Human Race", all while master mage Thomas Gandey speaks his potent incantations. And closing off the „Picture: Rafael Cerato" is „Viaje" (together with Diynamic alumn Laherte), a high speed pursuit down the Miami night streets.

It's Time
Italian duo Modular Project align their analogue gear and do what they do best in modernising nostalgic melodies and propelling them with punchy drums. After releases on Permanent Vacation, their own Nothing Is Real imprint, Motordiscs, hfn music and an edit for Jennifer Cardini's Dischi Autunno, Modular Project release their debut on Exploited Club. 'It's Time' renders a vision of 90s hedonism as pupil-widening sequences bind with ecstatic pianos in a warm, rushing embrace. Thick, accurate drums give the track pace and power with claps and hats flickering overhead like strobes through fog. 'Sex!' then rolls out a neat and classy groove as the sturdy bones of a Disco beat thump under a snake-hip bass, serrated acid line and bold, unfiltered piano chords. 'Echosphere' then dims the lights as swooning vocals (by Lattedoro) and glacial stabs are draped over snappy, broken drums. Modular manipulation drives the growth of the track as it blooms across an Intergalactic trip rounding off a varied but cogent record that speaks to the core of Exploited's ethos.

It's a pleasure for us to present one of the most awaited albums of the MM Saturns saga, a record on which we have been working for almost 3 years, and it finally sees the light. CORBEN introduces us to "Peachland," an introspective retro-futuristic journey where early electro and downtempo go hand in hand in order to create a cybernetic vision of the '80s subculture. It's like an inner spaceship that immerses you in infinite space, allowing you to reach unknown universes. Pure no-wave nostalgia filled with contagious vocoders and hypnotic synthesizers that shape a dreamlike and unsettling landscape, in which Corben shows us what could be the most sentimental and human side of an imaginary and futuristic artificial intelligence.

They Are Coming
Based in the Netherlands, Doctr signs here his very first release with Mélopée. A heterogeneous EP of 4 original tracks mixing its influences, sensitive and complex. A haunting musical edifice where the groove and fabulous melodies tell the story of a third kind encounter. "First Contact" is a powerful Italo Banger. The track is definitively efficient, strong and takes off in an epic way when the melody comes. The piece "Please take me with you" can't be explained, it can be listened to. Slow speed, captivating pad and lead, let's go for the goose bumps. With "Peace, no peace", it's time to fight it out on the dancefloor. The Italorave song is fast, uncompromising, unfolding a frantic rhythm. The last original sound "Where do we go from here" seems to be about hope after conflict. A splendid italo tune perfectly cutted to close the party. After having remixed Panthera, it's now Panthera who takes care of giving one for Doctr. He signs here a fantastic and rolling story, inspired by 80s atmospheres. As per usual, the audience is transported, eyes closed, smile on the lips : thrills guaranteed ! To close the release, we welcome again the talented Valerj for the second remix. He gives to "Where do we go from here" a darker and more progressive touch, where the tension keeps building over and over again. Awesome !

Ever
Facta & K-LONE's Wisdom Teeth imprint continues its busy schedule of 10 year celebrations with the debut LP by H TO O: a new collaborative project by Japanese ambient artists H. Takahashi and Kohei Oyamada. Set across six distinct movements, the LP maps the different stages of the cosmic cycle through a series of dynamic ambient set pieces: from the exponential expansion of the universe in its infancy - here invoked by the bright, chiming album opener 'Inflation' - through to it's inevitable collapse and rebirth, captured by the record's driving, ominous closer, 'Ever'. The record started life in Takahashi's hands, initially intended as a solo follow-up to his acclaimed 2018 LP, Escapism. The Kankyō Records founder shared his early sketches with friend and collaborator Oyamada, who began to play with the arrangements, taking the work in an experimental new direction. Naturally the project evolved into a cooperative effort, and its final form is the result of an honest and fluid back-and-forth between the two artists. The collaboration marks a considerable shift in energy to the artists' previous works - most of all in its foregrounded use of rhythm. Where Escapism was built from a series of gently lilting, dream-like vignettes, each movement of Cycle has a clear sense of forward momentum and purpose. Each composition builds from a set of sparse, meandering elements into something dense, cinematic and, at points, discordant. Although Cycle is at heart an ambient record, there is a club-informed feeling of forward motion running through the record, placing it in a similar sonic world to the beatless-but-rhythmic ambient techno of artists like Barker, Lorenzo Senni and Sunareht. Delicate and dramatic in equal measure, Cycle is a vital and exciting debut dedicated to the building of worlds - and to their eventual and inevitable dissolution.

Brimming with youthful energy and creativity, the Parisian producer and DJ has also released on Three Six Zero, Stil Vor Talent and Diynamic, not least his breakout 'Yumi' on the latter, so Renaissance is very excited to get him back onboard. His other accolades include Pete Tong's 'Essential New Tune' and touring all over the world, playing at a variety of influential clubs and festivals that includes Cercle Festival, Zamna, Space Miami, Womb Tokyo, KOKO London and more… 'Geisha' grew out of a deep fascination with Japanese culture, in particular the artisans from which it takes its name and the country's renowned landscapes; it's a perfect musical snapshot of the orient, which also features an 'Intro Mix', that'll no doubt secure a place at the start of many a set. Cioz takes the remix honours, injecting serious, melodic techno weight to the track; undoubtedly a sumo counterpoint destined for peaktime dojos. 'What I Need' provides able support and finds Notre Dame on familiar indie territory with a slap-bass rocket-ride to planet funk.

Fahrenheit 625 (WRC Mix)
Twenty Year Weekend (Two Decades of Darkroom Dubs) is the twenty-anniversary label compilation compiled and curated by Glasgow's Silicone Soul. Rather than take the retrospective route, they mark twenty years since they launched one of the UK's most revered underground house music labels with a new collection of music from a fresh global roll call who like it deep, dark and a little twisted. Also marking a quarter century since Craig Morrison and Graeme Reedie released their first Silicone Soul 12-inch on Slam's esteemed Soma imprint, the compilation gets underway with the duo's own Fahrenheit 625 featuring Bitch Traxx originator Franklin Fuentes on a scene-setting killer groove declaring presciently, "Ill take you there." Thirteen further early-hours throbbers ignite with Italian future disco duo Phunkadelica unleashing malevolent chugger Phunkarama lashed with robotic vocals, metallic swells and early 90s bleeps and hoover tones. Mexican DJ/ producer Theus Mago, co-founder of the Duro label in 2015 with Moisees, then uncannily plugs into the metaphysical Darkroom Dubs current with Intensify, garnishing its groin-thwacking turbo groove with cascading melodic synth interplay. Lucky Luciano uncorks another top-notch percussive workout from Glaswegian Darkroom Dubs favourite Am$trad Billionaire, its dense, percussive groove mosaic slashed with ghostly sample shards. Hot on its heels are Berlin-based, Greek-German tour-de-force Brax Moody and Vamparela aka Local Suicide - who duet with Wiener Planquadrat for some sexy rogue electro on Flashdance, splattered with lacerating Moroder-esque sequencer savagery. Next is the Factory City head-honcho Undo, fresh from his recent sublime house missiles on Darkroom Dubs, like Acid Summer and Aliens Go Home, who unleashes his ominous bass-driven acid monster, Vencejos. Before Nayan Soukie - aka Amount - rides the shimmering skyline surfer Figure Skating, packing the Darkroom Dubs trademark subterranean bass to the hilt. Then, the mysterious Subcisco conjures the ultimate funk party behemoth with Boiling Point evoking blaxploitation soundtracks in its aquatic stew of mangled strings and brass spectres hot-wired by contagious elastic bass. Parisian DJ/ producer Id!r, whose Darkroom Dubs missives include 2016's bass bin shredding Two Days In Hell, pulls off a typically dark, simmering groove beast on Haowie, topped with a gargling robo-vocal hook. Madrid-based Rotten City Records owner Alvaro Cabana then detonates 90s-style peak mayhem with Arde, casting its wailing power rhythm with crashing snare action. Born in the 80s, raised by the 90s, lost in the 00s, exclaims maverick techno-punk Pvlomo, immediately standing out with the sci-fi robot-gargling and Godzilla-like bass on My Little Vampire, his strength lying in lethally audacious twists and turns executed as the track powers mercilessly on into the darkness. Oslo-based duo Of Norway are the only act to feature on both anniversary compilations (bridged by 2015s towering Black Desert Disco Cult 12-inch). Mixing glacial electro with spaced-out strings and eastern-tinged melodies, Always Almost is suitably auspicious. Istanbuls Gunce Aci follows with Fallen Leaves, built on a juddering mutant electro lurch lathered with devilish voices, climaxing in the snarling acid disco thunder of Lead Boys, cultivated in Bogotas Kaputt Club by enigmatic duo Nuclear Digital Transistor. Dense and pulsing with disembodied goth-like vocals, the track makes a suitably idiosyncratic finale for a compilation tangibly driven to breathe new life into Silicone Soul's manifesto to celebrate, nurture and push the music they love to play, make and support. Proper underground house music has always been about fearless electronic innovation with a human soul. An ethos crystallised in this spellbinding collection. - Kris Needs

Their debut EP draws on the magic of italo disco, the synthesizer soundtracks of the silverscreen and the open stretches of the Italian coastline. Doveri Sabato Sera recounts the tale of unrequited love; youth, possibility and dashed hopes play out to a crisp rhythm and wistful melodies. Those heart-strained notes then take the limelight for the instrumental version, analogue strings soaring to impassioned heights. The flames keep burning on the flip with Melodico Romantico. Disco infused, bold and brazen beats are made-up in dark rouges and effervescent greens as breathy vocals whisper. Mussoni and Zucchi dive deep into their machines for the curtain close.

Devious Fragments
Gianet debuts on the Mexican label BUFOS with her EP "Devious Fragments". The Hungarian talent presents 3 original tracks with a profound message, including 2 special remixes, one by Aera and the other Last Men On Earth. Devious Fragments is characterized by a blend of tribal elements and captivating synth sounds accompanied by sharp drums that transport the listener to an ancient world colored by contemporary touches. It represent the evil souls that we encounter in our lives, which seem to shine like treasures, but instead are sharp fragments that bark us with their false light. "Devious Fragments" is the dark interpretation of the plot, while "Without Pain" is the peaceful one. Sacrifice, is inspired by the human sacrifice rites of the ancient Maya, and with the careful selection of sounds it transfers the atmosphere of the indigenous Mexican ritual to the dance floor. Aera decided to interpret "Without Pain" by composing a clubby version characterized by his unmistakable style of sparkling synths giving the protagonist role to the sensual vocals of Gianet. The Last Men On Earth Rework of "Devious Fragmets" transports the eclectic original version to a more classic house terrain. By utilizing the original percussions and vocals, it preserves the essence of the piece while introducing a bassline with movement that diverges from Gianet's proposed rhythm. The interplay of questions and answers with new vocals unveils a new chapter for this work, which also toys with the nuances of jazz and rock and roll. - Cover Art from Artist/Sculptor: Jorge Elizondo.

Berlin's Micropacer makes his return to Exploited Club - following releases on Kendal's Ritmo Fatale, Johannes Albert's Frank Music and Cormac's Polari with 3 slices of pure, unadulterated joy. 'Splash' kicks off, oozing with sass as an irresistible Italo bass struts along with a square edged heel. Rousing strings swell as a giddy tension bubbles towards a hairs-on-the-neck breakdown that pops to rapturous effect. Synths sparkle, while chopped vocals adorn the melody. All the while that bass maintains its swagger until the end. 'Foreign Affairs' follows up with more early 80s flair. Here, a fervid piano riff takes the limelight as it shifts through heartstring chords, rubbing sweaty shoulders with stabs and a vocoder. Filters dip the piano as it sinks towards another jubilant drop. 'Schöne Zeit' closes things up with more bright, spicy drums. The Disco kit kicks in all the right places, propelling another gorgeous tapestry of sound built from swirling tones and sunbeam stabs. Another breakdown unfolds with pure peak-time energy, giving way to flurry of serotonin rounding off a pack of reliable, retro bangers aimed directly under the disco ball.
