Thomas P. Heckmann's 30th Anniversary Special Edition ! LTD Splatter Repress !

Out of a mood and while repairing one of his 303 basslines, Heckmann just recorded two Acid-House tracks on the fly and live in his studio !! The result is now presented on Vinyl AFUXTRA release !!!

This time the release of the underground series will be special. The music for this split EP was written by two artists - Shyam, founder and owner of Simple Things Records and Quazee, a talented musician and part of Simple Things Family. Their tracks have been already released on the label, both on vinyl and in the digital version. The music for Totem EP is very “volumetric”. Atmospheric in its depth, even with some notes of hardness.

Traveling to space, through music.

Proud to present our third release PIROS003

In this case we encounter ourselves with a 3 tracker ep, where eclectic and electric sounds meet glitchy and funnny moods.
Original mix is in charge of two emerging talents such us Balbo (Ch) & Cazaux (Ar) where complex synths and rhytmic modulations are at the order of the day.
Two remixes fills this release, with more minimal outputs from the talented Alan Castro and Federico Molinari, two guys that does not need further introduction.

As a moth of light we felt strongly gravitated to the “New Light” by Dinkis. Intensity fits closest to this composition; it is the deepest, hitherto most personal work, packed in an emotional five-part journey.

The paths... between particles shrink, often drifting apart; but they are on an endless search for the new, the one point of attachment, which with all its nuances forms its very own finite world. Don't hold back, go ahead. According to this pattern, Dinkis sounds travel to “New Light”. The unknown traveller crosses the sonic spaces in quest of variety and continuity.

A dark contrast that oscillates back and forth through slow, powerful beats and an octave bouncing bassline. We virtually breathe the restraint, the fear of emptiness of “L'Astronauta”. So close to the target, the guides emerge as bright, floating points on the horizon; as the “Butterfly Poet” over a synthetic flow of sine waves. The present chapter of this composing journey provides a passionate realization.

Suddenly, the stream of thought stops and await for new impulses begins, until gradually, very slowly inspirations just dropping away. This is exactly how it feels when the “Rain In The Desert” sets in and everything starts to live. “Fuoco Nello Stomaco” or as long as the inner fire burns, no sudden drought on any level can cause a general stop.

Ambitions, dreams and creativity never stand still, are in motion; jump from sound to sound. It's this continuous excitement that Dinkis creates in this surprisingly real-feeling EP.

Vinyl Only - Limited

Title track “Green Carrot” delivers nifty percussion arrangements while gloomy pads and synths are working together to glue all the elements into one piece.

A2 track “Different Spaces” gives you robust kick drums and an acid themed bassline. Obscure vocals and shiny leitmotifs are conducting the percussive elements along 6 minutes of dance-driven groove.

The B side starts with Abstracted Possibilites, a smart construction filled with twisted synths and intriguing vocals. The snares and hi-hats are making the omnipresent narrator throughout 7 minutes of pure storytelling.

Omega Break, as the title suggests, concludes the release by entering the breakbeat realm. Its percussions and pads bring instant joy.

Early support by Raresh.

Perspective 004 comes in hot from LVCA aka Luca Cazal with 4 machine-driven dancefloor focused bombs."

Aurea Music Lab reaches its fourth release commanded by Marcos Coya, Ultrahigh, Delorean and Aleexe, delivering again four different weapons oriented to the dancefloor.

The Uruguayan producer Marcos Coya opens this EP with “Shadows”, a super groovy track full of acid and sitting trance synths that will make clubbers fly high on a ruling melody that is constantly moving.
For the ones that doesn´t know, “Scoville” is the unit for measuring spiciness, and this track by Ultrahigh is full of it. Expect heavy low frequencies dancing alongside spooky melodic synths and classic 909 drums.

On the B side, a smooth and playful trip from Delorean's “Designated Driver” ruled by different elements that come along together making every second of this track full of groove and happy melodies count.
Lastly Aleexe comes into play with “Effluence”, where you'll find some special soundscapes and extremely dynamic vibes. Pumping bassline, gated synths and swingy percussions on it are capable of moving even your grandma´s feet..

Room 15's sub label, MM Series brings you broken beats on its debut release. The tracks have already gained strong support from artists like Kozo, Guy From Downstairs, Nu Zau, Cosmjn, Chad Andrew, Clovis, Prichindel, Viceversa, Miroloja & many others..

Land Of Lovers and Hammers is a release that shows the limitless possibilities that an album by an artist with a precise and sufficiently defined musical concept can accommodate.
SOJ always works within an industrial sound context, but his works can be based only on small details that finally lead us back to this countercultural environment, elements of this genre, which later feed on other external nuances.

Infidel Bodies is the record label that publishes this new reference from the head of Soil Records. Its 10 original tracks combine different rhythmic structures with harmonic textures, each of them has a different charisma than the rest, with influences from styles such as dark ambient, techno or experimental electronics, and with quite different composition patterns. To the 10 original tracks must be added 4 versions of WLDV, Unconscious, IV Horsemen and Filmmaker.

microcastle’s second offering of 2022 welcomes Mulya back to the label for a new EP. Based in Budapest, Hungarian artist Mulya brings an inventive approach to his brand of electronic composition. Throughout his varied discography, he touches on disparate themes and sounds, straddling a divide between intergalactic design and indie-inspired beats, often mixing both into one amorphous, unclassifiable sound of his own. As a favourite of Ame, Dixon, Fideles, Frankey & Sandrino, Innellea, Trikk and more, Mulya made his microcastle debut in July of 2020 with ‘Chrome Extra’. The five-track showcase was a prime example of the Hungarian’s creative attitude, ultimately leading to 2021 projects via Innervisions, TAU and his own Complaint Kulture imprint. Having gotten the year underway with ‘#SENDBRO’, a joint effort with fellow countryman and Complaint Kulture partner Sobek, Mulya makes a welcome return to microcastle with ‘REM’.

Picking up on the themes he brought to his label debut, Mulya has created five new tracks rich with spirit and allusion. Beginning with the panoramic synth textures and haunted minimalism of ‘REM’, an unexpected shade is revealed through wailing horn-like drones and celestial sonics. Evoking a dystopian style ecstasy, this Echonomist and Innellea favourite proves once again that the most astute artists often find a way to the finish line, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Meanwhile, ‘Inner Circle’ plunges us into the wormhole, collapsing under its own gravity as momentum builds and pyrotechnic synths steal the air, eventually breaking into a hyperventilating helium rush of clattering percussion and rolling rhythmic structures.

Moving forward with ‘Free Falling’, Mulya sustains an understated yet confident club energy. Dark rebounding rhythms and grungy basslines set the course for snatches of disembodied voices and satellite-like bleeps. These echoes of extra-dimensional sound salvage bring forth the unshackled mind melt of the aptly titled ‘Astral’. Mulya’s relentless curiosity for rhythmic and harmonic experimentation basks in retro-radiance here, as a delirious blur of broken beats, metallic fragments and acid-laced machine funk emerge from their sci-fi saloon slo-mo showdown. Rounding out the collection and sitting on a modern psychedelic perch of its own are the eternally fresh aesthetics and eager optimism of ‘Cosmos’, a feel-good jaunt that breaks into a rich textural rain of melodic colour, where euphoria awaits with arms raised and eyes closed.

We're pleased to welcome Jazzam & Cesar Green on board with them brand new EP. What better than an insane original track with 4 bomb remixes by pretty good artists like: Kaysin, Andre Salmon, Greg Pidcock, Anthony Megaro and more.

Every release is special for us here at Hizou. But to clock up our tenth one is a particularly special moment. So it is even more pleasing that we reach this milestone by welcoming on board a producer we admire enormously, Life Recorder. The man from Marseille has a lengthy discography of must-have records to his name already and the super-deep Pressure Jazz EP will only add to that growing list as he delivers a trio of prime cuts, from the punchy, raw analogue sounds of the title track to the warming Subconcious Drive and the melodic, acid-flecked Traffic Jam.
