- Barcelona experimental /ambient /tribal /psych /acid /downtempo /house /electronic duo IRO AKA “Zukunft (Tapan Remix)” off upcoming “Futur” EP 12″ on new Spanish label Elephant Gait
Ominously mesmerizing, tribalistic, and radical re-imagination from Belgrade production partners Tapan, with revolving slow-burning textures swirling hypnotically around groovy skipping percussive patterns, while zipping synth notes buzz magnetically to conjure droning layers of static charged vocal stutters, ripped into inaudible frequencies by heavily vibrating bassline rumblings, spinning out of control into a dizzying array of primal fear.

Sick industrial techno mayhem from Colombian producer through skipping frequencies to ignite shaking, crushing rhythms sputtering insane chaos across droning layers of asymmetrical dancefloor doom to build a tribal momentum of supreme treachery brimming to shivering delirium and pounding, deep bass echoes.
- Amsterdam based Italo disco/psych/cosmic disco Italian producer Daniele Labbate aka Daniel Monaco, aka Disco Mortale – “Love Trax (Did Virgo Remix)” on Beat Is Murder
Eerily dark and futuristic cosmic disco re-model by Marseille‘s la Dame Noir resident Did Virgo, arouses low airy, at times droning, faltering bass expansions with deep murky tones into an undulating, hypnotic rhythm of lost horizons, laced in icy dazzling synth flutters and ecstatic sparse female spoken vocals, that echo and fade disturbingly into dangerous, shiny obscure dancefloor oscillations.
