Les Yeux Orange

We´re stoked to announce the 7th release on Foresight Records this year. This release has been crafted by one of Nijmegen´s finest producers, Former Child. His production journey started over 10 years ago, before ever attending a club or rave. Through the years he got inspired by many types of electronic club music but is currently focused on the realms of progressive house, techno, and trance.

The EP culminates in a tasteful progressive trance workout called ‘’What I Want’’. The pumping bassline accompanied by trippy Arabic-inspired motives, showcases Formerchild’s interesting take on progressive trance.

'The Dreaming' starts off with a mystic atmosphere with breaky beats. It grows into a 4 to the floor rhythm that brings the people into the real moment before flowing back to dreaminess.

The 2nd track, 'Bandicoot', is an euphoric house anthem containing a deep rolling bass & classic Roland stabs. A floor filler designed to uplift the collective spirit.

The title track is a bassy and driving track produced for massive sound systems. Long & heavy bass lines are the soul of 'Shuffle Premium', accented by a throwback Korg M1 lead.

'Shalva' closes the EP - a progressive house tune that keeps the dancefloor in a high & happy mood.

Parisian-by-choice Detlef Weinrich aka Tolouse Low Trax turns the page again. Always willing for a new episode, notion, impulse, idea, ideal. Searching for some light out there. Now Kiosque Versions, a compilation compiled by himself, featuring seven edits by friends and treasured artists. They renew some rare TLT tunes, as well as hits, that never took the charts by storm

Syrinx Music is pleased to welcome Midnight Totem amongst its catalogue. Persephone is her fourth release, following an album released on Tripalium Corp last year: over the course of twelve tracks and 42 minutes, Midnight Totem showcases her sound, taking cues from 90s-style IDM, electro, dark techno, ambient, breaks & more. These various influences are connected by Midnight Totem’s unique touch, lying on her taste for deep arpeggios, murky melodies and a punk approach to music production. Aerial layers of synths, melodic keys & echoes of distant voices combine in successive vignettes, creating an atmosphere that simultaneously emanates melancholy and menace. Persephone also makes great use of Midnight Totem’s signature lo-fi sound, favouring immediacy in her music writing, and placing the expression of feelings and sensations at the core of her productions. This new album is thus a perfect reflection of Midnight Totem’s aesthetics, in line with Syrinx Music’s ethos – always located at the many crossroads between the lab & the club.

London based imprint and party collective Earthy Measures has been around since 2016, making terrestrial ruminations and humid vibrations, bringing native planet songs made for open spaces, ears, hearts and minds to mingle and merge to.

The album ‘Patience’ is the debut release from Sun Sone, the project of London-born electronic producer Luke Martin. Drawing influences from hip-hop, downtempo, neo-soul, and trip-hop, the beginning of his inspiration came from the L.A Beat scene and the artists that stemmed from it like Flying Lotus, Clap Clap! Knxwledge, Jai Paul, Kutmah and Photay.

Using percussive elements and instruments from different parts of the world, pressing them together to create a sound which is familiar but also alien. ‘Patience’ refers to the time it took to write, spanning 10 years while he honed his craft, the album is set to drop at the end of the year, these three singles will drop one a month ahead of the full release in December.

The first is Apogee - Sometimes it’s nicer not understanding the lyrics. It means you can attach your own meaning to the music and hear the vocals as simply another instrument. There’s something personal about this. The guitar parts were reversed simply as an experiment, but it ended up informing the structure and melody of the song entirely. It was one of those beautiful and lucky moments where a single piece falls in the right place, and the rest of the track just flows in a stream of consciousness.

lovetempo is the brainchild of Mattie Safer - singer and bassist for Poolside and The Rapture - and since its inception, Safer has moved with imagination and creativity, fusing saudade sentimentality and jazz-funk excursions, with modern dancefloor sensibilities. Through body, soul, and basslines lovetempo explores the triumphs and travails of the heart. His debut was released on Razor-N-Tape to great acclaim, and his recent single also on RNT, ‘But I Do’ - a collaboration with producer Dougie Stu of Brijean - stole hearts and ears this summer. Gilles Peterson was ‘raving’ about it on 6 Music and WWFM!

Returning with ‘Maybe In Another Life’, a slow-burn disco cut built around soaring strings, a relentless groove, and a question about what happens when the right people fall in love at the wrong time. “Sometimes you meet someone and feel that electric jolt that happens when two kindred souls connect, but for whatever reason the circumstances of your lives don’t line up. What can you do but move on and in the words of Erykah Badu, say I guess I’ll see you next lifetime ”.

‘Maybe In Another Life’ is the perfect track for Saturday night warmups and Sunday morning listening sessions alike. The original is paired with a floor-friendly remix from feel-good disco producer Bosq, whose remixes and original productions have delighted dancers and received strong support from GP, Folamour and Kerri Chandler no less.

After exploring talents in Europe, Mister T. records is returning with a blend of balearic and progressive house EP by Mahkina, formerly know as Alex Aguayo, from Mexico.

Mister T. records is extremely proud to unveil Alex Aguayo’s first release with his new alias Mahkina. Active for more than 7 years on the indie and electronic scene as Alex Aguayo, the Mexican DJ and producer is now introducing his new house / progressive project. “Sale Por El Corazon” stands as a clear definition of Mahkina : a tribute to the digital retro sounds and a hot touch of tropical/salsa style rhythms.

The four track EP opens with “Attraction Gravitionelle”, a clear dancefloor oriented track, evolving around a mesmerizing acid bass line and french vocals. The emotional breaks and drops add a layer of tension to the hottest tune of the EP.

“Good Old Moments” acts as a bridge between the change in Alex Aguayo style that could be seen in his latest release on Fauve Records and the actual Mahkina project. The balearic nostalgia is inherent to the sounds which remains a very sweet tool for dancefloors thanks to its fast rhythm and the warmth of the dub techno influenced stabs.

“Sale Por El Corazon” was produced a bit later after the other tunes by Mahkina yet it’s really what is giving the relevancy of the whole EP and then its name. Alex managed to capture the brute energy of the inspiration flow, waking up one day at 6am hearing the bass line in his mind and rushed to his PC to record the whole tune. On this track, Alex touched the raw essence of the first Detroit productions with the same influences coming from latin pianos and percussions.

“No Politics” concludes the EP with a beautiful and vibrant balearic house ballad giving space to aerial piano lines.
