PERA STA ORI - 2251 53X18-146 [Digital - CD - 7" Vinyl]

01. 1993 Body Move Edit

02. 600mg Lbprfn

03. Falimento Amore

04. Drosia Stala Charavgi (Converted)

05. Borborygmus

Pera Sta Ori (Greek word - translated like Beyond the Mountains) is one of those producers that have broaden their horizons the last couple of years and would have to get to your scope. On first hand, he can be described as IDM artist in a general term, in case you're wondering what is all about.

And now, the North Greek producer/sound designer, after a quality row of releases on labels like Yellow Machines and Numb Capsule (his own imprint) makes a big return during this very weird year we're running. George Kontogiannidis takes it back to square one of the oldskool rave under his modern techniques and skills, serving 5 fresh tracks.

His new work's coded title is still a riddle ('2251 53X18-146') however you can try and decipeher it through his brand new musical mindscape that you're kindly invited. And it's a trip of diversity.

From his 600 mg of Jungle dose ('600 Lbprfn') to the big pianos on Dark mode (e.g. '1993 Body Move Edit') to the experimental and leftfield bass inspired path of 'Drosia Stalia Charavgi (Coverted)' and the love spinning breakbeats of 'Falimento Amore'; probably the most euphoric track of this release.

This new EP comes out now digitally and on a limited edition of numbered mini CD including also sticker, A4 artwork signed by the artist, greetings card and the digitals as well.

Worth every penny and support to this upcoming producer, who's already sorted out his next step which will be unveiled soon, this time on Brighton's Further Electronix

[INTENSIVE035] GREG SIN KEY - System Down EP Part 1 [INTENSIVE RECORDINGS]

Polish producer/DJ, Greg Sin Key has just released an EP taken off his recent album 'Raveologic', which came out via Sonic Fortress digitally & on CD in last September.

'System Down Part 1' consists of 4 tracks. The previously released 'Machine Warehouse' and 'Destiny' take their seat to the Nu-Rave dancefloors, among the new additions 'Bass Ofcourse' and 'Funky Place' (personal highlight of this release) offering Greg's usual thundering Rave Breaks style, intensive bass, proper hiphop samples and lil piano pieces.

The sound of Nu-Rave from the artistic Lodz has just returned stronger for this summertime via Intensive Recordings.

A proper digital weapon for every Hardcore Breaks DJ out there.

[LLTA051] V.A. - RAT2THE OLDSKOOL VOL.5 [LONG LIVE THE ANIMALS]

The return of the mighty rats!

Five raving long-tailed rodents offering their Oldskool principles under their scope of a modern way. 'Rat2The Oldskool Vol.5' has just unleashed presenting once again the unique known rat species that's raving. Powered by Long Live The Animals from Bristol but simultaneously all around Planet Earth, this new release is the 51th so far and is given away for free.

The least you have to do to pay them back is to appreciate even more all animals surrounding you or you could also purchase an amazing T Shirt from their store? Why not... You can find the link at the bottom of this article.

Till then, there's two huge tracks from Bristolians Dr. Jungletek who offers a rushing jungletek masterpiece and Murder Most Foul with a '92 Oldskol Hardcore cheeky vibe adding some proper cheesy bits as well. LLTA Head honcho Drake Mallard revisits the early underground playing out with Force Mass Motion stabs and party melodies, while Zensae offers his rave donk under 150 bpm.

Closing this crazy release with a bonkers tune with tough breakbeats and few acids from Cambridge dog, KelvinSwine aka DJ Stain. Nothing but a juvenille party attitude, animal solidarity and homage to the roots of oldskool rave. You know what you have to do, follow and spread the link below.

DJ Deluxe - I, Rose [LAZARUS RECORDINGS]

It took a couple of years, specifically 12, to taste a new DJ Deluxe album, but never late than ever isn't it?

'I, ROSE' is the title of his brand new album coming out digitally via his own imprint Lazarus Recordings Bandcamp page.

And this one must be his very best and complete work so far. A release which means a lot to the artist himself as self-stated that 'Sometimes you have to be broken to fix yourself'.

DJ Deluxe is reborn among the ashes giving his varied Hardcore approach for this new decade we're running.

And what a quality work that is!

Loads of highlight tracks to mention. From the opener 'Just A Game' where Steve gets his breakbeat sword fighting against 80s bits and Dayne Taylor on a 175 bpm level, to his fair tribute to Aviici; a piano Breakbeat Hardcore roller that gets a good feeling not sometimes but everytime you'll listen to that.

'So Soothing' calls you all to get your arse on the dancefloor and dance to the rushing pianos and stompy rhythms. Of course none can skip one of the heaviest tracks of this cut, as DJ Deluxe likes to be as harder as it can get. 'Noise (Fuckin' Filthy)' is a serious monster, dirty bass all over it. Something that would remind you probably a bit of 'Pandora' by Dave Skywalker. An album that delivers diversity of styles, thus you won't get bored at all.

Ten new tracks for every preference and pleasure. Ten ultimate tracks that follow his 2008 'Tales From The Dirtbox' and celebrate one of the exceptional Nu-Rave musicians.

Support and grab your digital copies right here, right now
