Anthony Collins and Francis Harris meet again for the creation of the long composition ‘Ethos’ (ancient Greek origin word, with different meanings such as moral nature, character, beliefs of a person or group). This is the second album they ever made together, the first one (‘You Go Girl’) was published in far 2014: after ten years the artists put their efforts in a great and inspirational way. As overall the sound motifs recall the style proposed in their last EPs like ‘Dream Vibration’, ‘Eastern Meantimes‘ and ‘Understanding’, proposing rich and fulfilling waves and frequencies. ‘Ethos’ is a sensorial experience, that reveals a contemplative and self-reflective nature during the playback. Eliana Grass gets two features, her vocals play on the opener ‘Olympia’ and ‘Cecile’: these two productions are potentially two of the best makings of the album, without detracting relevance from the other tracks. Deep house, house and dub techno are the main notable styles, build with dinky and embracing instrumentals.

“House music has always been an expression of political desire as it often was the only safe space for communities to come together in ways that society at large disallowed,” Harris enthuses. “The same energy in the ‘90s could be found in parts of the punk & hardcore scene. Countercultures exist to create temporary autonomous zones of desire outside of dominant narratives that are roadblocks to creation. We have always been inspired by these countercultural movements and the Frank & Tony project is deeply influenced by it.”

“We’re only able to make house music because of the vast legacy of producers from New York, Detroit and Chicago who laid the foundation for what we do today,” Collins divulges. “In many ways it can never really live up to that legacy as our art is born out of privilege rather than necessity to create spaces of political desire in the face of marginalization. So what does this mean? We take that legacy very seriously and we want our stamp on this history to resonate with current and future generations as a bridge to the real history behind it.”

Genex & Stipp ‘Nazca Lines EP’

Artist: Genex & Stipp
Title: Nazca Lines EP
Label: Planet Rhythm
Cat. #: PRRUKBLK098
Format: Digital, vinyl
Release Date: 15.03.2024
Tracklist:
A1. Genex & Stipp – Out Of Turn
A2. Genex & Stipp – Nazca Lines
B1. Stipp – Vision
B2. Genex – Cryptic Feedback

Here it is a new blend release between Genex and Stipp, who joined their minds for the composition of ‘Nazca Lines EP’. To be out soon on the prestigious Planet Rhythm, the EP offers a set of four contemporary techno songs. In the A side are pressed ‘Out Of Turn’ and the title track, as result of the collaboration between the two artists; they unleash mischievous, outrageous and eccentric sound mixtures, notable to mention it’s ‘Nazca Lines’ with its skinny instrumental. On the flip both the artists present two solo tracks. Stipp’s ‘Vision’ recalls the title track with essential drum loops and redundant synth chord, while Genex closes the release with ‘Cryptic Feedback’: that’s not usual to find inner tracks (like A2, B2 etc.) like this, it’s very energetic and with a prominent TR909 inspired drum loop, over that the vocal sample, the synth line and the pedal bass all add a though behavior to the track itself, and of course to the whole EP.

Jonathan Kaspar ‘We Come EP’

Artist: Jonathan Kaspar
Title: We Come EP
Label: Crosstown Rebels
Cat. #: CRM306
Format: Digital, vinyl
Release Date: 01.03.2024
Tracklist:
A1. We Come
B1. Flash Point
B2. Transposed Sky feat. Paul Brenning

Jonathan Kaspar returns on Crosstown Rebels with a solo release: ‘We Come EP’. Compared with his last originals and remixes (you can quickly check all them on the Beatport’s artist profile) the overall composition sounds more relaxed and thoughtful. ‘We Come’ opens the tracklist, since the beginning it follows a calm stylistic trail: just the main synth adds energy and fluidity to the theme. Supported by a low crescendo of pads, synths, effects and tribal shakers, ‘Flash Point’ reveals a unique identity, becoming immediately the best production of the EP. In this track the artist expresses himself without any boundaries, while playing and jamming with the instruments he elevates the importance of discovering new styles and combinations. ‘Transposed’ closes the EP, basically it’s a tribal inspired production which features the vocal of the Berlin based vocalist and producer Paul Brenning.

Massimo Logli ‘Kang’

Artist: Massimo Logli
Title: Kang
Label: Superba
Cat. #: SPB031
Format: Digital
Release Date: 01.03.2024
Tracklist:
01. Kang
02. Biham
03. Anser

Buy link: https://www.beatport.com/release/kang/4420105

Massimo Logli is back on his record label Superba with a thundering three-track techno EP.

Based in the city of Carmignano, Massimo Logli is an Italian artist whose new release blends acid synths with thundering percussion to create peak time grooves with powerful energy.

Superba is a regular outlet for Massimo Logli’s music, but his music has also been released by other respected techno record labels such as Frankyeffe’s Riot Recordings, Sisko Electrofanatik’s Gain and Hollen’s Prospect Records.

The EP’s title track “Kang” opens the release with its thrashing hi-hats and rumbling bassline, while the swelling acid lead synth leads the track into the tranquillity of the breakdown. Signified by delicate piano chords and shimmering pads, the breakdown subsides when the kick drum slams back in, and the track lifts up a gear.

Second on the release, “Biham”, is signified by a hammering kick drum and frantic acid line that gives the track a menacing vibe. The devastating force of the percussion builds to the fluttering euphoria of a tantalising breakdown, before the track plunges back into darkness when the drums regain control.

“Anser” brings the release to a close with its pounding kick drum and rippling pads. Unfolding with building suspense, the track combines eloquent synths with the industrial textures of fast-paced percussion. This is a masterful track with epic atmosphere that’s perfect for setting the dance floor alight.

CircoLoco Announces 25th Anniversary Ibiza Season

CircoLoco Announces 25th Anniversary Ibiza Season

April 29 – October 14 at DC-10

Celebrating 25 Years as a Champion of the Global Underground

Tickets On Sale Now

https://circolocoibiza.com/

Global party institution CircoLoco has revealed the dates for its 25th anniversary Ibiza season, taking place April 29 – October 14 at DC-10.

CircoLoco remains one of underground electronic music’s most important outfits. From its namesake party in Ibiza, spawned in 1999 as a Monday after-hours party, CircoLoco has grown into a global music brand and veritable lifestyle, catalyzing cultural exchange with the most brilliant minds across art, fashion and entertainment. Its no-frills approach and forward-thinking lineups have perpetuated the underground spirit of its Balearic roots for 25 years.

CircoLoco’s impact on culture far exceeds its four walls, with the world’s of fashion and celebrity colliding with dance culture. It’s where Ricardo Tisci first heard the Martinez Brothers before booking them to soundtrack Givenchy shows for years; where P Diddy fell in love with dance music before releasing his electronic record II II; Virgil Abloh was inspired to design a capsule collection for the brand; a place where household names and high society stars can lose themselves on its dancefloor. CircoLoco’s dance floor has sparked collaborations with world renowned brands such as Off-White, Adidas, and most notably a partnership with Rockstar Games, which led to the founding of CircoLoco Records, serving as a far-reaching fusion between the virtual and physical worlds of music and entertainment.

From its humble beginnings in the late-90s as a free Monday morning party at the infamous Ibiza venue DC-10, founder Antonio Carbonaro has overseen the exponential rise and expansion of CircoLoco into fashion, design and recording, and ultimately one of the most influential and iconic brands in club culture.

Individual lineups for the 2024 season will be announced in the coming months, but in true CircoLoco fashion revelers can expect the unexpected. Past seasons have consistently seen the avant-garde join forces with Ibiza favorites seeing acts that rarely play on the island like Shygirl, Actress, and Romy share the stage with artists whom credit CircoLoco as springboards for their career like Seth Troxler, Rampa, Peggy Gou and many more.

With shows spanning decades taking place in New York, Miami, London, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro, and Phuket to name a few, revellers on the White Isle this summer can expect CircoLoco’s customary blend of unity, inclusivity, cutting edge sound, and exceptional curation.
