“I wanted to write tracks for the dancefloor that are timeless and channel all the classics I fell in love with in my youth that still hit me the same way today. I wanted to create music that sounds timeless because that’s what Chicago House is to me, my favourite tracks still sound as fresh as they did when I first heard them. That music always brought me a lot of joy and I have so many happy memories surrounding it and Chicago, so when I sat down and started writing that’s what came out, because I think that’s what I needed to channel to feel better.” – Alinka

Introducing Cesare vs Disorder’s highly anticipated debut album, “Antidote”, released via his label Serialism Records. After more than 20 years of relentless studio efforts and shows around the world, Cesare Marchese, the Italian-Polish mastermind behind the project, finally brings a unique blend of musical influences to the dance music scene with his first-ever album.

Born with a passion for classical music and honed through years of training, Cesare’s electronic music journey began in the late 90s when he started DJing, getting exposed to various genres of music, from Hip Hop to Indie Rock, Reggae to Drum’n’Bass. However, his love for Modern Jazz, Brazilian Bossanova, Dub, and Electronica left a significant bearing on his later musical taste. And that’s exactly this rich tapestry of mixed influences that gave life to “Antidote,” which showcases Cesare’s innovative approach to club music, promising to be a musical journey where the sounds of yesterday meet the future of electronic music.

The vinyl-only version unfolds between eight tracks, featuring collaborations with Romanian maestro Cristi cons, Amsterdam’s eclectic San Proper, Rockey Washington – a legendary Los Angeles based MC, and Serialism A&R and longtime Cesare’s friend, Weg.
The journey continues with 5 more tunes added in the digital version including featuring collaborations with visionary Boston Hip Hop Jazz guru, Mike Ladd, London-based DJ producer and captivating voice, Joe Le Groove and American vocalist Aminah Raysor with her moniker MC Dreaminah, and will be exclusively released on streaming platforms, transcending the traditional avenues of web sales channels.

Playful evolving throughout its duration, “Antidote” reflects Cesare’s diverse musical background, drawing inspiration from his early fascination with jungle and breakbeats to his deep appreciation for Trip Hop, Acid Jazz and Eletronica. The result is a captivating blend of old-school emotions and contemporary textures that will leave listeners feeling inspired and transported to another time. With its mixture of nostalgia and modernity, “Antidote” promises to be an unforgettable musical experience.

Lunar Disco ‘Terrible Happiness’

Artist: Lunar Disco
Title: Terrible Happiness
Label: Suck My Disco
Cat. #: SMD004
Format: Digital
Release Date: 6th July 2023
Tracklist:
01. Lunar Disco – Terrible Happiness
02. Lunar Disco – Terrible Happiness (Club Mix)
03. Lunar Disco – Terrible Happiness (Gumm remix)
04. Lunar Disco – Terrible Happiness (Radio Edit)

The glamorous Lunar Disco duo is back with Suck My Disco’s fourth new single, ‘Terrible Happiness’, featuring a remix from Gumm.

 

Australia-based but born out of the Parisian house music scene, Lunar Disco is DJ and composer Nicolas Blistene and his singer-songwriter partner Kate Elsworth. Together they have a unique mix of live vocals and richly textured electronic sounds that are deep, sensual and playful. Kate has worked with Sonny Fodera and Deep Dish on labels such as Defected, Mobilee, and Cafe Mambo, while Nicolas runs the French Kitchen label and has thrown events worldwide.

The excellent ‘Terrible Happiness’ proves that with seven minutes of uplifting retro-future disco brilliance – the drums are leggy and loose, the chords reach skywards, and Kate’s steamy vocals finish the cosmic trip off in emotional fashion. A Club Mix layers in darker bass that powers things onward even more, but the irresistible vocal remains in place next to expansive chords that take you ever higher.

Remixer Gumm is a mainstay on the Melbourne scene who has gone from renegade party promoter to beloved festival headliner. He co-founded the city’s Darklove brand and mixes up nu-wave, indie and disco. Here he gets dark, with slap-funk drums and prying synths bringing romance and late-night mischief to the original. The vocal becomes more haunting and makes this is very different but equally brilliant version.

This is another faultless package from Lunar Disco.

Buy link: https://martinmerz.bandcamp.com/album/planet-henri

Martin Merz’ ‘Planet Henri’ is his third studio album that represents an explorative journey in the realms of electronic music. The whole sound seems a big question mark, at times enigmatic. It isn’t oriented on precise dancefloor inspired styles, it doesn’t even unbalance on precise genres, but it constantly fuels a suspended and attractive mood: that’s the strength point of the album. The various motifs, evoked by well researched synths, convoy the artist’s identity through the sounds, showing the effort put into the songs creation. ‘Planet Henri’ is out now and available on both digital and vinyl formats.
