Streaming Amsterdam’s D Stone and Milion join forces this May for the sixth release on Cinthie’s 803 Crystal Grooves Collective Cuts imprint. Since the inception of the 803 Crystal Grooves imprint in 2018, Cinthie has been steadily unveiling her own material on the main label, while the sub-label Collective Cuts was inaugurated in 2019 as a platform for friends, associates and beloved producers in her circle. The past five releases on the platform have welcomed material from the likes of UC Beatz, Azuni aka Washerman, Anaxander, S3A (Sampling As An Art) and KETTAMA among others, while here the label welcomes some fresh talent from the Dutch capital, namely D Stone and Milion,who’ve been releasing their raw house sound on the likes ofHardlineMoscow Recordsand Cécillerespectivelyin recent years. ‘The Next Morning’ leads the EP, employing classic house tropes with smooth string melodies, twinkling synth chimes and choppy stab sequences, underpinned by a swinging drum groove, bumpy bass line and hooky vocal lines. ‘The Night Before’ follows and retains a similarly classic house aesthetic courtesy of a snaking bass melody, hypnotic spoken word vocals, crunchy saturated percussion and an amalgamation of organ melodies. ‘Floor Call’ then rounds out the release on a darker tip, flipping focus to murky bass swells, and skippy drums, intertwined with gritty stab sequences, Hammond organ tones and a loopy vocal chant.

PRESS:

"BlackFilter is the project of Pellegrino Mazzucchi, a percussionist, DJ, and producer residing in Modena, Italy. Pellegrino became passionate about music at an early age, thanks to the influence of his mother, a Fado singer of Indo-Mozambican descent, and his older brother, a DJ of Latin and World music who encouraged him to study Afro-Cuban percussion. Drums, or "Batuki" (as his mother called them when she was getting mad at him for the continuous rhythm that echoed through the house at all hours of the day), served as Pellegrino's first means of expression. He later expanded his sound palette through experimentation with analog synthesizers and drum machines. The fusion of these elements over time gave birth to the distinctive sound of Black Filter and "Batuki": a dialogue between Afro-Caribbean rhythms and futuristic Jazz with hints of electro and disco, offering the listener a sonic and refreshing sound experience."
"Batuki" is out on Ragoo Records.

DBH Music welcomes Elements Electric to the distribution.
Out soon: EE001 - Peter Sweeney - Heart Drives The Machine (12")
Highly recommended!

Peter Sweeney - Heart Drives The Machine

Elements Electric is a brand new label out of Dublin, Ireland being brought to life with the latest release from acclaimed local producer Peter Sweeney aka Rustal (393 Records, Diffuse Reality). Heart Drives The Machine is the name of this aptly titled 4-tracker. This is an expansive techno record that touches on acid, electro, house and the aforementioned techno, all of it heavily imbued with influences from the American midwest, most notably Detroit - maintaining the long running connection between the Irish capital and the home of techno.

On opener Celestial Flame, Sweeney pitch-bends the acid as hard-hitting syncopated drums bring things back to earth with a gritty thump. Love Not Lost takes a more direct approach to 303-infused deep techno as soaring keys in the background make sure the soul of the machines is never far away as the song continues to ascend.
Motor City Man is a fitting title for a song that mainlines a classic 90s Detroit house organ riff over propulsive drums; reminiscent of D1 Recordings at its peak, it's a ready-to-build floor filler if ever there was one. The EP closes on a reflective note with Aurora Lake, as a teasing acid line subtly sits over nostalgic synths, gently pirouetting together into the ether…

DBH MUSIC welcomes Mud Trax to the distribution family!
Out soon: MUDX001 - Kirill Matveev - Please Convince Me EP (12")

MUD TRAX, new to the MixCult Records gang, shows off its first big thing, Kirill Matveev - Please Convince Me EP. This bold 4-song EP calls all dancers and tune lovers to jump into a mix-up of beats that dare to change modern electric tunes.

Kirill Matveev's "Never Losing That Track" (A1) gets a boost from Havantepe, mixing thick bass vibes with sharp hits that set the dance floor on fire with zest and style. The remix shows how to blend old-school cool with new-school rules without a hitch.

A2 gives us Kirill Matveev's "Pegasus & Sour Faces (In the Zoo)», a piece that really sets a feel-heavy vibe. The blend of old tribe beats with sleek new flows makes a spellbinding beat that pulls you in, makes you move, and sends you on an upbeat mood trip. A burst of TB-303 tune that jumps in adds a bold kick to the song, making it a hit on the EP. For Kirill Matveev, this track, “Pegasus,” keeps coming back in different sets as he keeps building on an idea that's always growing.

On the other side, Kirill Matveev's own spin of "Never Losing That Track" (B1) grabs the spotlight, with a deeper tour into the catchy beat and rich mix of sounds. The song unfolds like an adventure, where each pound adds to the last to build a deep, spell-like feel.

Ending the set is "Choo Choo" (B2) by Electric & Nixxie, turned on its head by Kirill Matveev. The remix keeps the heavy bass beat but throws in Kirill's tune style, making a sound that's both known and just-refreshed. The mix of parts brings a beat full of life, great for moving from one style to a big moment.

MUD TRAX stands as proof of how electric music keeps changing, where old tunes meet new ideas to make a sound that's forever fresh and sharp. So come on, follow the beats, and feel the new type of magic in MUDX001 with your own ears.

Moderna Ignites the Dance Floor with Debut Album "The Future Is Among Us"
Conceived over seven years in Berlin and Mexico City, "The Future Is Among Us" is a sonic tapestry
woven from diverse influences. Each track, produced in a different era, retains its unique character
while seamlessly blending into a cohesive album experience.
The album ignites with "DIE4U," a powerful homage to Prince's iconic "I Would Die 4 U." Moderna
reimagines the timeless sentiment – entirely self-produced and written in Berlin. Layered vocals, a
driving bass line, and a pulsating electro beats that create a controlled yet electrifying atmosphere.
The title track, "The Future Is Among Us," embodies the collaborative spirit at the heart of the album.
Originally conceived before the album was complete, bringing bass lines and a percussive energy
that feels like a declaration that the future is not something to wait for, but something we are actively
creating together on the dance floor.
The album promises a vibrant blend of electronic and dark wave music, showcasing Moderna's
ability to weave together infectious dance floor anthems with deeper, more introspective moments.
This depth is evident in tracks like "Lost at Heart," a collaboration with post-punk artist Skelesys
that transcends genre with its raw emotional vulnerability. The album's ability to seamlessly shift
between these contrasting styles is a testament to Moderna's artistry and her ability to curate a
cohesive listening experience that invites a provocative energy.
Moderna’s impressive career extends beyond this album. Beyond her solo work, she has showcased
her remixing talent on tracks for The Matrix 4 soundtrack and Curses' Next Wave Acid Punx
compilation, collaborated on four EPs with Mexican artist Theus Mago who also contributes to the
album on the dream wave serenade “Blades”.
The album will be released on her ‘Brave New Rave’ imprint which she established in 2019 from her
highly recognized radio show on KCRW Berlin.

Volpe channels the essence of Detroit influenced Techno, Beau Didier unleashes a relentless hardgroove rework, and Decka infuses dub techno vibes into the composition.
Janzon's exceptional vocal work shines through and Schott keeps it classic and pounding as well as GAEL with her dark vibe, while Garb adds a mesmerizing psy-techno leaning touch.

Italian hard techno DJ-producer MAIKE DEPAS announces EP ‘Rave the Planet’ (out 29 February) ahead of MAIKE DEPAS 2.0 audio-visual makeover

‘Depas strikes a fine balance between raw energy and subtle melodic hooks.’ (DMY)

‘Throughout the pounding track [Midnight Ride], the Italian beatsmith expertly blends lush synths with intricate rhythmic components and gritty bass.’ (EDM.com)

‘Depas' approach to techno is a veritable melting pot of influences, blending sounds from the 80s and 90s with contemporary symphonic and cinematic elements.’ (Magnetic Mag)

Upon the return from the dark and dreamy regions of his previous EP ‘Euphoria’, Milanese hard techno DJ-producer MAIKE DEPAS (Michelangelo De Pasquale) announces new EP ‘Rave the Planet’, out 29 February via The Innovation Studio, ahead of MAIKE DEPAS 2.0 audio-visual makeover. Sending tremors through the electronic underground scene, Depas joins Kobosil and In Verruf in carrying the torch of uncompromising Berlin techno while keeping his feet firmly planted in the melodic 1990s trance of Push, Jam & Spoon, and Cygnus X.

Introducing his new heavy-duty fusion of face-melting techno and trance carrying ‘Go Hard or Go Home’ warning sign, Depas makes the crowd grind their teeth with a behemoth of an opener ‘Heartbreaker’ only to fill the dancefloor with dread on the shiver-inducing ‘Vortex’, a power move designed to set the scene for the title track’s fervent rave sermon delivered in a cyborg voice by Depas, followed by the erotic undertones of throbbing closer ‘Float Together’ including the blistering remix by the Italian DJ Amstra.

‘Rave the planet / Stay together / In techno we trust / Rave the planet’ - MAIKE DEPAS, Rave the Planet

At its core, ‘Rave the Planet’ is Depas’ personal paean to the true spirit of the original rave culture as represented by Lukas Havlik’s (Ludenworks) Luis Royo-esque artwork of a pulsating cybernetic planet of complex, interconnected nerve fibres wrapped around the Depas globe logo. “As a raver, you feel this sense of unity with community and it’s similar to a religion we’ve had for thousands and thousands of years,” Depas compares. “We are the planet, we are the culture, so both are the reflection of ourselves in the wider world.” For Depas, the concept of solidarity runs deep within techno culture. Coming right from the heart, Depas is driven by the opportunity to bring people together for one thing and one thing only: “Just for the love of techno and to celebrate the music in a club.”

‘As a raver, you feel this sense of unity with a community similar to a religion we’ve had for thousands and thousands of years.’ - MAIKE DEPAS

‘Rave the Planet’ is released in conjunction with MAIKE DEPAS 2.0, a tectonic audio-visual shift that entails a wide array of digital content as varied as DJ sets live streamed from Berlin’s Teufelsberg and other dystopian locations around Europe as well as enhanced PR-photos featuring cyberpunk-inspired outfits designed by Demobaza, a cyberpunk-inspired casual couture brand best known for their sustainable Dune X Demobaza collection. Over the course of upcoming metamorphosis from a flesh-and-blood individual into a mysterious CGI character, Depas is another step closer to revolutionising the dance music scene through the metaverse.

‘Rave the Planet’ drops 29 February on digital and vinyl via The Innovation Studio:

A1 – Heartbreaker
A2 – Vortex
B1 – Rave the Planet
B2 – Float Together
B3 – Float Together (Amstra Remix)

About MAIKE DEPAS

Young hard techno DJ-producer MAIKE DEPAS (born Michelangelo De Pasquale) has seen the future of music and it’s called metaverse: “In the future it will blow up,” he predicts. “And it’s going to revolutionise the way we experience music.” Bowled over by Skrillex and Martin Garrix at the age of 8, and DJing at small Milan clubs by the time he was 11, Depas went on to study composition and piano at the prestigious Milan Conservatory before learning ‘life-changing” lessons from the best in the business at Catalyst’s 4-week Advanced Sound Design course in Berlin’s Funkhaus last year. Inspired in equal measures by the huge synths of 1990s trance and pounding hard techno of Kobosil, In Verruf, and Amelie Lens, 2024 marks the launch of MAIKE DEPAS 2.0, a tectonic audio-visual shift that entails a wide array of content from DJ sets livestreamed from Berlin’s Teufelsberg Credits: Lukas Havlik (artwork), Marcel Wiest (photo)
and other dystopian locations around Europe to cyberpunk-inspired outfits designed by Demobaza, a cyberpunk-inspired casual couture brand best known for their sustainable Dune X Demobaza collection.
