ANYTHING GOES Special Compilation

Edits from Rollover Milano and our DJ friends all over the world, from Milan to New York, Paris, London, to Ghent, including 2manydjs, Adam Port, Soul Clap, Bill Brewster, Claudio Coccoluto and more, with all proceeds to go towards the fight against COVID-19
_________

Milan is a beautiful, strong city, respectful of the diversity of people and ideas. As we pass our (third/fourth) week of lockdown staying at home to protect ourselves and others in the fight against COVID-19, we sadly continue to feel the distance between us and our loved ones, but also that of our many fans and DJ friends in Italy and abroad.

With the doors to our home – Apollo Club – shuttered, and the future of our clubbing industry ever so uncertain, we have decided to concentrate on what we do best: serve music to our community. From this, we present to you our special initiative: ROLLOVER MILANO & FRIENDS against CORONAVIRUS.

From Milan to New York, from Ghent to Berlin, Paris and Rome, thanks to the wholehearted support of our DJ friends all over the world and their voluntary contributions, comes a special volume of “ANYTHING GOES”, our edit service that pays homage to the spirit of Balearic music and beyond.

In the Anything Goes Special Compilation you will find the “secret weapons” of our friends including: 2manydjs, Adam Port, Soul Clap, Boombass, Moscoman, Bill Brewster, Kapote, Coccoluto, Alex Neri, SHMLSS, OOFT!, Ferraroni, Riccardo Baez, FUNCLAB, Milangeles, Blinky, Ferrari and of course, Rollover DJs.

In light of the growing crisis, we have made the Special Compilation downloadable for a small contribution starting from 7 euros on our Bandcamp page, with all proceeds going to the official emergency fund set up by the Italian Civil Protection Department destined for the COVID-19 crisis in Italy.

It is not an easy time for any of us working in the world of music and entertainment, but it is even more important to think about those who are in more challenging situations, especially those who are risking their lives every day to fight this battle for all of us.

Every donation from the ROLLOVER MILANO & FRIENDS against CORONAVIRUS initiative helps in not just the flattening of the COVID-19 curve in Italy but takes us, music lovers and clubbers, one step closer towards a carefree summer.

We all come from different worlds, but we are all connected.

Join us and our dear friends in the fight against the Coronavirus and let us continue to entertain you in these times, even as we all stay at home. And remember, we are all united by our passion for music, no matter where we may be.

Love

Rollover Crew

Davide Nigro ‘Molecular Alchemy EP’

Artist: Davide Nigro
Title: Molecular Alchemy EP
Label: Motech
Cat. #: MT133
Format: Digital Download / Streaming
Release Date: 17 April 2020
Tracklist:
1. Cosmic Geisha
2. Molecular Alchemy
3. Panoramic Life
4. Anarchy Sound System

Detroit techno label Motech Records’ second release of 2020 sees another debutant producer added to their more than impressive catalogue. This time the beats are supplied by Italian producer, Davide Nigro.

With a number of releases on various techno imprints in 2019, Nigro, (who cites techno’s Baron, Dave Clarke as a life changing influence after seeing him perform at the age of 15), is ready to explode in 2020 starting with the release of ‘Molecular Alchemy EP’ [MT133].

‘Cosmic Geisha’ opens the EP with a driving, pulsing rolling baseline, manic hi-hats and a groove that resonates energy from start to finish. The EP title track, ‘Molecular Alchemy’ follows, which Nigro describes as “crazy funky soul”. Expect a lo-fi aggressive, distorted synth lead; dirty funky Detroit techno at its best.

Track three, ‘Panoramic Life’ leads you into twisted airy suspense through spatial modulation, with dreamy interchanging rhythms and layers of beautifully sculpted sonic textures. Nigro adds: “welcome to the uncontaminated space of sound.” ‘Anarchy Sound System’ rounds off the EP, thumping into action with a pulsating reverberating sub-kick that’s dark and minimal, transcending with a lush morphing and filtered analogue acid lead that takes you into new sonic dimensions. Nigro says: “this is diabolic acid, pervading your senses up to the maximum exasperation that coincides with the utopian moment.” In simpler terms: a track made for the darkest contorted dance floors – mind-blowing music from start to finish!

Ilario Liburni ‘I Feel Everything’

Artist: Ilario Liburni
Title: I Feel Everything
Remixer: Melchior Productions, Rhadoo
Label: Invade Records
Cat. #: INV018
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release Date: 1st May 2020
Tracklist:

  1. I Feel Everything (Original Mix)
  2. I Feel Everything (Melchior Productions Rio De Janeiro Mix)
  3. I Feel Everything (Rhadoo Remix)

Ilario Liburni serves up some classy reductionist house sounds on his own Invade Records, while remixes come from heavyweights Rhadoo and Melchior Productions. 

Belgium based producer, Ilario Liburni knows how to get maximum feeling and atmosphere out of his sounds. His prolific and always on point output since 2012 has proved that releasing on labels such as Cardinal, Memoria and his Invade Records imprint.

The superb original single, ‘I Feel Everything’ is perfectly distilled minimal house, with dubbed-out drums rolling through enveloping sub-bass. Wistful synths are buried deep in the mix, and neon chords and woozy pads add a sense of late-night colour and cool to the groove.

First to remix is cult favourite Melchior Productions, who has put out several essential releases on Perlon and Playhouse and very much defined his own minimal aesthetic. His version is airy, hypnotic, and supremely smooth with the drum loops and spoken words wrapping around each other in perfect harmony.

Master Romanian minimalist Rhadoo has long been a critically acclaimed sonic craftsman. His remix is filled with glistening hi-hats and singing bass that bounds about beneath sustained and melancholic chords. It’s roomy and atmospheric and sure to go down a storm with the connoisseurs.

Bedouin ‘Whistleman’

Artist: Bedouin
Title : Whistleman EP
Remixer: Pablo Fierro
Label: Human By Default
Cat. #: HBD001
Format: Vinyl & Digital
Release Date: 27 th March 2020
Tracklist:
A1. Whistleman (Original Mix)
B1. Firefly (Original Mix)
B2. Voodoo (Original Mix)
DIGITAL BONUS – Whistleman (Pablo Fierro Remix)

Brooklyn-based duo Bedouin launch their Human By Default imprint with a silky release entitled ‘Whistleman EP’ featuring a remix from Pablo Fierro.

Tamer Malki & Rami Abousabe formed as Bedouin in 2012 and have since established themselves as two of the most vital names in melodic house music. As producers their mesmerising instrument-driven cuts have arrived on top tier labels like Crosstown Rebels, All Day I Dream and Supernature. Meanwhile, as performers they continue to headline clubs and play at festivals across the globe, such as sets at the legendary Burning Man, Coachella, Extrema Outdoor Belgium, III Points, Kappa Futur Festival and Tomorrowland, while helming their own Ibiza residency at Pacha named SAGA, getting ready for their 4th season, which has gone on to become a renowned worldwide event series.

Human By Default is their highly anticipated label which the pair now launch with three of their own original cuts. ‘Whistleman’ opens with smooth keys, shimmering percussion, a warming bassline and gorgeously delicate vocals that send the senses into aural bliss.

‘Firefly’ swings with marimba samples, churning shakers and bubbly synth patterns until ‘Voodoo’ rumbles with Afro-Cuban drums, exciting vocal work, Santur like pads and rolling electric stabs. Finally, multifaceted musician and producer Pablo Fierro provides his signature rhythm and shuffle to the ‘Whistleman’ original with claves, rattling snares and a euphorically charged break.

Celebrating the launch of Human By Default, Bedouin will perform alongside special guests during Miami Music Week with a showcase at The Beach Club on 19th March.

Various ‘Visions 01 – Cleric’

Artist: Various
Tracks by: Rebekah, Slam, Sleeparchive and more
Title: Visions 01 – Cleric
Label: Clergy
Cat. #: CRG020
Release Date: 10.04.2020

To celebrate hitting their 20th release, Cleric’s imprint pulls together 23 talents for an essential various artist compilation including tracks from the likes of Rebekah, Cleric, Stef Mendesidis, Remco Beekwilder & Stranger, Endlec, Kwartz, Setaoc Mass, Roman Poncet, Slam and many more.

Clergy has become synonymous with a balance of atmospheric and hard hitting brand of techno ever since 2014. The boss’s own music has been key to that, with carefully curated releases from guests such as Dax J, Kwartz, Reflec and Cleric himself. Helping to make the label an underground favourite. ‘Clergy Visions 01’ sees Cleric invite an array on techno heavyweights to contribute to this compilation that’s mixed by the label boss himself.

Things open up with the bleak ambience and fizzing electric cables of Jokasti & Nek’s ‘Grained’ then Sept’s ‘Artifical’ lays down a tunnelling techno groove that immediately locks you in. The mysterious alias, Reizemann heads off to a cosmic realm with its deep space pads slowly building the momentum throughout the drums. The energy levels then stay high throughout tracks from Roman Poncet, Kwartz and Setaoc Mass, then leading onto the groove of Stef Mendesidis.

Testament to Cleric’s skills as a DJ and sequencer is the fact this journey is constantly evolving while remaining coherent. A mid- section featuring the likes of Endlec, Sleeparchive and EAS keeps you on your toes with perfectly stripped back but hard dynamic drum programming and intense melody work. Remco Beekwilder & Stranger bring a more hard hitting and industrial style before Slam calm the fires once more allowing you to sink into a smooth, elongated roller. It’s left to the dystopian darkness of Rebekah and atmospheric techno brilliance of Lerias to close out this most adventurous mix in real style.

Luuk van Dijk ‘Da Revolution’

Artist: Luuk van Dijk
Title: Da Revolution
Remixer: Toman
Label: No Art
Cat. #: NOART028
Format: Digital
Release Date: 30th March 2020
Tracklist

  1. Da Revolution
  2. Moved By Me
  3. Moved By Me (Toman Remix)

Luuk van Dijk returns to ANOTR’s No Art imprint to deliver his ‘Da Revolution’ EP, accompanied by a remix from fellow Dutch favourite Toman.

Blossoming Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Luuk van Dijk has been gaining a rising-reputation via his infectious underground productions over the past few years, with releases to date via the likes of Solid Grooves, Eastenderz, Oblack, Do Not Sleep and Hot Creations to name just a few. As an artist, his energetic and slick sets combined with his own original material have seen him named as ‘an artist to watch’ by Hot Since 82, whilst also being tipped by industry heavyweights including Steve Lawler, Hector Couto and Eats Everything, and March now sees him make a welcome return to No Art as he delivers his ‘Da Revolution’ EP, backed by a remix from Toman.

Title track ‘Da Revolution’ is a driving and raw cut guided by skipping hats, spiralling synths and infectious vocal snippets throughout, whilst ‘Moved By Me’ harnesses garage-tinged percussion, shuffling snares and driving low- end tones to impressive effect. To close, Toman’s remix of ‘Moved By Me’ sees the introduction of a bouncing bassline, icy hats and a snaking bassline to offer up a heads down, hands up closer, and in turn conclude yet another quality release from the No Art crew.

Midnight Music Club ‘Premisession’

Artist: Midnight Music Club
Title: Premisession
Remixer: Private Guy
Label: Kajunga
Cat. #: KAJUNGA006
Format : vinyl, digital
Release Date: 10th April 2020
Tracklist:
1. Calling Card
2. A New Day
3. Five AM
4. A New Day (Private Guy remix)

Minneapolis label Kajunga welcomes local mainstay Craig Lambert aka DJ Focus aka Midnight Music Club for an EP that pays homage to his home scene and includes a remix from label co-founder Private Guy.

Midnight Music Club has been collecting records for over 40 years, sharing them passionately for nearly 30 and studying music production for 20. This live artist’s timeless yet distinctly old school sound is reminiscent of early Chicago and Detroit pioneers, with a blend of deep house and techno that is uniquely his own. He has released on Chicago’s Descendants of the Deep label, as well as Headphoniq and his own self titled outlet. His ‘Premisession’ EP is an ode to the pivotal but now defunct Minneapolis warehouse venue Premises, which he himself founded and which hosted Kajunga’s first-ever all-night party.

The EP showcases MMC’s hardware fluency right from the off: the fantastic ‘Calling Card’ creates a welcome invitation to the record with sensual synth lines paired with the drive of undulating tom rhythms that echoes the best of US house music. The sensuous ‘A New Day’ evokes the feeling of a deep acid soiree with rich emotion and improvisational elegance resonating throughout the track. The warm, meditative ‘Five A.M.’ starts with a spring-time air before blooming into a Sunday morning daydream that you won’t want to break. Remixer Private Guy is a purveyor of all things deep and seals the deal by providing a more moody take on ‘A New Day,’ with melodies weaving through playful percussion to great effect.

This essential EP celebrates the greatness of the Minneapolis scene while providing plenty of quality dance floor moments.
