Deep in the Romanian wilderness, beyond the foggy wastelands of the metropolitan district, lies the base of two musical wizards who invoke the spirit of the past to transmit a very modern interpretation of their nation's musical traditions.
Deep in the Romanian wilderness, beyond the foggy wastelands and the drab greyness of the metropolitan district you can find the base of two musical wizards who invoke the spirit of the past to transmit a very modern interpretation of their nation's musical traditions.
They are known as Livio & Roby and they have been putting their own supernatural twist on house and techno for the past 10 years. Their connection with the global electronic music movement has been channeled via highly influential outlets such as Desolat, VIVa, Saved and Fumakilla. While their physical presence has been felt in a myriad of venues from Buenos Aires to Detroit, and across much of Europe. From dynamic DJ sets and innovative live performances to album projects and a constant flow of cutting edge, dancefloor-based productions the duo remain one of their nation's leading lights in the field.
The tribal rhythms, inspired by Romania's colourful history, penetrate your psyche: the organic instrumentation lifts your spirit; flutes and vocals combine with delicate chimes, while groovy basslines and solemn melodies create a magical concoction. It's a formula that caught the ears of their early supporters, Steve Lawler signed them up to VIVa Music and Berlin stalwart Woody introduced them to the city's music scene via his highly-respected Fumakilla label.
These early connections helped to spread Livio & Roby's unique blueprint throughout Europe, enchanting more and more influential figures. Next to fall under their spell was Loco Dice, who signed them to his Artist Alife agency and promptly released the seminal 'Mistique' – a track created in collaboration with the third member of this spellbinding outfit, George G, with whom they form Premiesku. Just like their unique partnership, Premiesku operates within its own confines – their live show is built around hardware that has been customised and reconfigured for their own use, without any computers involved. This gives them total freedom in their performances and allows them to express their own distinctive style.
Thanks to the consistently high quality of their output, Livio & Roby have been in constant demand around the globe, sharing the spirit of Romania with the clientele of clubs and festivals across North and South America, Europe and further afield. Today, their endless travels continue, as does their entrancing musical output, from EPs with labels such as Vakant, One Records and Cecille through to their debut Premiesku album, 'Indirect', which came via Desolat. Moving forward in their career saw further adventures around the planet: Premiesku reformed with new music and hit the road with their dazzling live act. Livio & Roby released their own concept album, titled 'Phantom Circle' on Desolat. The duo co-produced each track on Phantom Circle with one of ten different artists: Enzo Siragusa, Martin Buttrich, Guti, Julian Perez, Hector, Ryan Crosson, Cesar Merveille, Andrea Oliva and Premiesku. The album received wide media coverage, adoration from fans and praise from various music press outlets. Livio & Roby are only building on their momentum. Forthcoming releases on Vatos Locos and Mulen Records will bring their unique and evolving sound to more and more ears. With shows at legendary venues such as Printworks London already under their belts this year the story continues as the duo continue to innovate and carry on the legacy of their ancestors.

Maike Depas
The Age Of Chaos (incl. Matasism Remix)
The Innovation Studio / TIS005
Italian hard techno DJ/Producer MAIKE DEPAS announces brand-new
5-track EP ‘The Age Of Chaos’ (out April 19th) on The Innovation Studio
Stream ‘The Age Of Chaos’
Download the Press Kit
Label: The Innovation Studio (digital and vinyl via DBH Frankfurt)
“Depas strikes a fine balance between raw energy and subtle melodic hooks.” (DMY)
“Throughout the pounding track [Midnight Ride], the Italian beat smith 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)
Following his recent ‘Rave The Planet’ EP at the end of February, Milanese hard techno
producer Maike Depas is back with a brand-new release on well-renowned label The
Innovation Studio. His newest EP is named ‘The Age Of Chaos’ and features a five-track
banger arsenal – including a special remix by Italo-American producer Matasism, which
was also included in his recent BPtich Control mixtape.
“This EP is the result my own experience throughout an inner dystopic reality,
where energy-ridden sounds and epics all collide into a very personal version
of the hard techno legacy I’m devoted to.”
‘No Redemption’ is a proper big-room belter, with explosive drop divided by a big break
and a statuesque vocal that feels like a claim: “Techno is my only drug”. Same goes for
‘Tesseract’ and it’s rave-like atmosphere and hypnotic hook. ‘Dystopia’ is pure groove
and makes the listener dive into a distorted and futuristic metaverse, while ‘Cyber Attack’
and its remix include synthetic vocals tha aim to symbolize an artificial imposition: man
against machine, fiction against reality.
‘The Age Of Chaos’ will be available from April 19th via The Innovation Studio.

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 revolutionize
the way we experience music.” Bowled
over by Skrillex and Martin Garrix by the
age of eight, and DJing at smaller Milan
clubs by the time he was eleven, 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 . His production gets inspired
by huge 90s trance synths as much as
pounding hard techno from artists such as
Kobosil, In Verruf and Amelie Lens.
2024 marked 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 and other dystopic 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. Over the course of
a developing metamorphosis from a flesh-and-bone individual to a mysterious CGI
character, Depas is another step closer to revolutionize the dance music scene through
the metaverse.

Worldwide exclusive distributed and manufactured by www.dbh-music.com; info@dbh-music.com
Britain’s Dirty Little Secret is pioneering UK artist A Guy Called Gerald’s first EP in
five years. It arrives exclusively on Iranian label Moozikeh Analog Room, and all
four tracks of the vinyl-only EP delve deep into Gerald’s unique musical psyche.
For a number of years now, A Guy Called Gerald has largely made music only for
himself. But this special EP is borne from Gerald’s unique and long-lasting
friendship with Analog Room founders Mehdi Ansari, Siamak Amidi and Salar
Ansari. They first met in 2013 when Siamak booked Gerald to play his Analog
Room party in Dubai – a leading underground light in the UAE’s then emergent
scene. Away from the glossy VIP hotels and expensive bottle service parties
typically associated with Dubai, Analog Room only deals with quality bookings of
the caliber of Move D, Roman Flügel, Moritz Von Oswald and the likes. Gerald
immediately fell in love with the party. Its strict music-first, no-nonsense policy
appealed to him and he’s returned many times over the years.
By then, of course, A Guy Called Gerald’s musical legacy was already assured. The
Manchester icon is best known for his 1988 hit single Voodoo Ray – the
touchstone of his hometown’s dawning acid house scene. As well as being an
early member of 808 State, Gerald embraced breakbeat and jungle, ran his own
Juice Box Records label and worked with the likes of Columbia, Perlon, K7! and
many other vital labels. His skills on everything from synths to keys, samplers to
drum machines stood him apart then – and still do today.
“This release is based on a real friendship,” Gerald explains. “I feel part of the
Analog Room family. Back in the early days, that’s how it was. These days, it’s like,
‘Oh, you’re famous, let’s do something.’ I’m not interested in that. I’m not
interested in being a celebrity or living that life. I’m the same as I was 30 years
ago, all I care about is the music. With Mehdi, we have spent hours jamming in
private in Dubai, we have partied together. We’ve vibed together for so long and
he’s shown me new parts of the world I should be making and playing music in,
away from the trendy scenes in other places. So this is an exclusive just for him.
I’m not looking at doing anything else with anyone, and the music is just about
celebrating individuality rather than trying to fit in anywhere.”
When Iranian-born Mehdi decided to start Moozikeh Analog Room – which
translates from Farsi as “the music of the Analog Room” – Gerald was one of the
first artists he asked to release on the label. It might have taken some time for
Britain’s Dirty Little Secret to materialize, but boy it’s been worth the wait.
Says Mehdi, “The magic comes through proper relationships and friendships.
That’s why Analog Room worked. It was a great room, an amazing sound system,
with amazing artists doing their thing. Bookings were so on-point because we had
agents around the world, on the dancefloors, spying up artists who were killing it,
and Gerald was one of them. He was a perfect fit from the first gig and our
friendship grew from there. He’s always been very kind to me. We have this
common language of music without any bullshit, and that is where this EP comes
from.”
The EP is a mixture of different things. Some of it is unreleased material from the
vaults revisited, some of it is brand new. It opens up with the devastating Old
Skool – a writhing, physical track with naughty bass. The drums hark back to
Gerald’s early days of making jungle but reimagined through a modern
perspective. As the synths spray about the mix and the percussion bounces atop
the jostling drums, muttered vocals draw you in deeper. Sugoi is an experimental
track that fuses ambient synth design with the spacious and eerie atmospheres of
jungle. Nimble drums get you on your toes as the spangled synths twist and turn
in all directions. It is a thrillingly original, impossible to define track.
Flash Fight is built on a captivating rhythm that sits in the area where house,
techno and jungle intersect. It is warm and cavernous, physical yet elegant as it
bounces on rubbery kicks and lithe synths roam in and out of earshot. Perfect for
those sweaty, cozy back rooms, it’s another masterclass from Gerald. Closing out
the EP is False Religion, a deep-rooted house track with elastic drums and
haunting, wispy pads. As a subtle acid bassline rises and falls way down below,
Gerald’s own mystic whispers leave listeners hypnotized.
Following on from Analog Room co-founder Salar Ansari’s debut release on the
label, this EP is a statement of intent. More releases will follow from some of
Analog Room’s most frequent international guests, but only when the time is
right. Moozikeh Analog Room is a label of love, one that is focused on putting out
the best possible music at all times rather than chasing hype.
Britain’s Dirty Little Secret EP arrives via Moozikeh Analog Room on XXX and is a
timely reminder of why A Guy Called Gerald is one of the world’s most enduring
electronic artists.

CYRK / CYRK002
Big support by:
Brett Johnson, Marco carola, Dubspeeka, Rob Rich (Stereo MC's), Paul Ritch, Shadow Child, Claptone, T. Williams, Denny, Pirupa, Yousef, Huxley, Dave Angel...
Not even a month has passed since Sierra Sam and Pascal Hetzel ´s CYRK project launched with the high impact homage ‘Tribute’ and they return with yet another respectfully rooted release.
Channelling the energies of Detroitian agenda-setters such as Inner City, Joey Beltram and Scott Grooves, CYRK celebrate the original template and ingredients that have gone on to inform every genre that’s since passed. Easy to say… A dark art to master without repeating something that’s already been done before. Safe to say that CYRK definitely have that art mastered…
Its deft ping-pong riff echoing through classic detuned synth tones and unrelenting beats refusing to stop even for the honeyed evocative tones of singer Christine Eusebio , ‘Fantasy’ is one of those tracks you’ll feel you know but also understand its freshness instantly. The type of track that gets crowds grinning like Cheshire cats the second it pops on… Even though they’ve never heard it before. Rooted in history, coded in innovation, it’s more proof that CYRK’s three-headed formula is better than one.
Remix-wise both Pascal Hetzel and Gerome Sportelli remain in Detroit: Pascal looks towards the likes of Mills and UR’s ‘World Power Alliance’ phase for inspiration with his heads-down, militant techno aesthetics while Gerome conjures up sensations of Cybotron and The Preps with his slinky, ice-edged electro adaptation. Both versions take Christine’s surging, sensual vocals to new creative pastures… And they’ve invited you to do the same with the acapella version, too.
Celebrating a legacy while keeping it fresh; CYRK remind us where we’ve come from… And where we’re heading.
