Goldroom - Fifteen

After all this retro house, you probably need this to chelax to (sorry for the bad pun Chela). Great to hear that Goldroom hasn't gotten rid of his dreamwave roots!

Chris Malinchak

From the category long overdue posts (it's unfortunately a pretty big category for us), I'll finally write about Chris Malinchak today. Sometimes we feel like we write about Perseus or other French Express acts in every other post, but us never having written about this guy is evidence that we clearly don't write enough about this magnificent label. Mr Malinchak is arguably, together with Jonas Rathsman, label boss Leon's greatest finds.

Apart from being an immensely talanted producer, Chris is both productive, already having notched up a half-dozen releases on French Express, and versatile, ranging from nu-disco, French and filter house to the deep/garage/acid house of his latest EP "Ironbound". The whole release is oozing Trax Records from mid/late 80's (y'all should check out Phuture's classic "Spank Spank"), and "Razor 2.0" is a clear nod to Inner City's "Good Life".

Toomy Disco presents Ultimate Man

We wrote about Argentinian producer Toomy Disco over two years ago for the debut release of Space Walker recordings. We're great fans of him and his disco and house productions. Lately he's been even more productive than usual with great filter-disco house tracks like this:

Toomy Disco - What Goes Around (Original Mix) by Toomy Disco

He's also started producing under the moniker Ultimate Man, making more of late 80's, early 90's Detroit/Chicago/NYC sounds. You know, the sounds everyone loves at the moment. And I don't mean that sarcastically; not everyone can be a fan of acid house and garage since '87. And that's what a lot of the Ultimate Man stuff sounds like. Check these out:

Rituel

Meet Rituel, a new duo consisiting of Christophe Monier (aka The Micronauts) and Thomas Regnault (aka Dew Town Mayor). Ritual is a new project making a kind of deep house, 90s nu disco trip combined with some flavours of rave and garage. It was love right away!

This mini-EP with two tracks has been on for repeat since I got it in my hands. I can guess that these two are up to something really good. Can't wait to hear more from them!

Sad but beautiful Wonder

Daroc hit us up with a new piece of fine sounds. This one is a bit more sad than usual but it's also a beautiful piece of wonder. The track is taken from Daroc's upcoming album "Additional Wonders" released on Metrophon in only a few days, May 7 to be more precise.

Keep the lights on or off

Joyce is the name of the 21 year young singer making beautiful pop music such as "Keep The Lights On". Doom Disco is the act that has remixed the track and also renamed it to "Keep The Lights Off". Nice piece of work!

Of course, here is the original too.
