Artist: Marco Cassanelli and Deckard
Title: Splitted
Label: T.a.Rock Records (Electronic Division)
Cat. #: TAR027
Format: Digital / CD / Vinyl
Release Date: 22nd June (Beatport) / 1st July (Digital)

02 Hexagon

Italian modular live act Marco Cassanelli and Deckard return to T.a.Rock Records with a new mini-LP entitled ‘Splitted’.

Producers Marco Cassanelli and Beppe ‘Deckard’ Massara follow up their previous collaborations on the label, ‘Opus Sectile’ and ‘Pyramiden’ with an improvisational album titled ‘Splitted’. It is an amalgamation of sonic elements closely resembling their live performances and is the result of several studio sessions in Trani, Puglia. Additionally, the release is part of the lineup for “Programmazione Puglia Sounds 2022”, an initiative that supports and strengthens musical projects coming out of the world-renowned South Italian region.

Armed with analog and modular synthesisers, Marco Cassanelli and Deckard take you on an emotive journey inspired by geometry and symmetry used in all visual arts. Characterised by their dynamic compositions, the six tracks flow as one – incorporating components from one another, remixed according to the artist’s mood. From the imaginative dreamscapes of bonus track ‘Abandoned Town’ through to the playful synth lines of ‘Rectangle’, the release offers vibrant textures from start to finish. Its trippy, ambient atmospheres display the pair’s mastery of the instruments they wield and provides another outstanding release for the label.

Stelios Vassiloudis ‘All Else Fails Remixes’

Artist: Stelios Vassiloudis
Title: All Else Fails Remixes
Label: Balance Music
Cat. #: BALANCE003EP
Format: Digital
Release Date: July 1st, 2022
Tracklist:
1. All Else Fails (Fog Remix)
2. Mother (Funk D’Void Remix)
3. Time To Die (Heathered Pearls Remix)
4. Neon Dream (ELWD Remix)
5. Avissos (Lawrence Remix)
6. Time To Die (Stelios Vassiloudis 4/4 Remix)

After the recent publication of Stelios Vassiloudis’ ‘All Else Fails’ album, the label opts for a remix assignment to Fog, Funk D’Void, Heathered Pearls, ELWD and Lawerence, who give their unique contribution for the creation of this reworking EP. Most of the originals are ambient productions, so the adaptation job made by the artists don’t seem to be difficult, anyway the various parts of loops, drums and synths seem effective and in line with the various moods already aroused. Notable to mention the Funk D’Void and Heathered Pearls remixes: their music goes straight to the point just in few seconds after the play button has been pressed.

Hyenah ‘Love In Times Of Crisis’

Artist: Hyenah
Title: Love In Times Of Crisis
Label: RISE
Cat. #: RISE012
Format: Digital
Release Date: July 1st, 2022
Tracklist:
1 Hyenah X Ernesto & The Basement Gospel – The Rite
2 Hyenah X Pablo Fierro X Lazarusman – The Balance

10 Hyenah X Ernesto & The Basement Gospel – Devil’s Advocat
11 Hyenah X G-Washington – Rain Queen
12 Hyenah X Demetrius – Life’s Plan

Hyenah breaks through the summer season with an unmistakable sound and appeal, unleashing a great 12 track selection with the album ‘Love In Times Of Crisis’. The title speaks itself and put in front of us a relevant question: how love spreads in these hard times? Even if the album title seems enigmatic, the overall sound isn’t, showing as its best the beautiful approach to electronic music by the artist. That’s not a solo album because all the tracks (except the #3) feature a collaboration with another musician, for this very reason one of the best tracks of the entire collection is ‘The Message’ , where the enchanting vocals of Bajka rolls over gently and smoothly.

PACKSHOT Specter - Ironside - Angis Music

Specter ‘Ironside’

Artist: Specter
Title: Ironside
Label: Angis Music
Cat. #: ANGIS555
Format: Vinyl
Release Date: 20th June 2022
Tracklist:
A. Integrated Circuit
B1. Wesley Shuffle
B2. Heavy Barrel

Samuele Pagliai’s Angis Music has been thoughtfully curated with deep and groovy electronic music that will test time; sporting a young, yet impressive portfolio, Angis Music returns faithful and strong with a new EP from the lush imagination of Chicago veteran Specter.

Hailing from Chicago, Specter has certainly established his connection with the city as an esteemed producer and DJ alongside the likes of Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittman, Omar S alongside Traxx, Darryn Jones and others. Inspired by UK techno in the 90s, he was deeply connected with Sound Signature records and artists and so began a collaboration with the team and boss Theo Parrish, releasing ‘Pipe Bomb’ in 2010, ‘The Gooch EP’ in 2013 and Rolling Stones-acclaimed Build To Last’ album in 2018. Alongside that strong connection, he founded the Chi Deep House label Tetrode Music. Specter’s sound brings the real Detroit balance between soul and heavy industrial nuances, stemming from soul, disco to deep house and techno.

Entitled ‘Ironside’, and inspired by a late 60s crime drama, The EP embraces a dense three-track journey catered to premium lovers of deep house and cavernous techno grooves spanning from jazzy and romantic, to funky and moody. Pressed on Vinyl with love and boasting exclusive artwork by Serbian talent Floating Bastard, electronic music selectors should not hesitate on this beautiful wax presentation.
