El Nino Diablo – Shadow Dancer (Remixes)

Even though clubs have had to shut their doors for an indefinite period of time, the fire of dance music still burns wide and deep at Elninodiablo‘s ever funky lair as demonstrated by the ultra-sexy music video for ’Shadow Dancer’ (directed by Adam Munnings) bringing the immediacy and vibrancy of Berlin’s much missed nightlife onto your screens.

Newest in the release series is the smouldering hot centre-piece from the ’ShadowPlay EP‘, ’Shadow Dancer’, complemented by a choice pair of remixes courtesy of DFA mainstay Perel and former Faithless member, Queen Sudhara.

Presented in a slightly tightened, floor-optimised version tailored to enslave ravers through hypnotic loops and twists, the lead cut blazes a path of utter rhythmic devotion throughout, sure to leave wisps of vapour in its trail.
Previously known as the percussive heartbeat of electronic band Faithless, with whom she’s acquired a noteworthy reputation as a master of the drums, Sudha Kheterpal – alias Queen Sudhara – pulls out a mystique-imbued workout of a revamp, welding the finest of sturdily bassy house and Parrish-esque techno tropes with ayahuasca-induced visions that shall awaken your senses to new forms of holistic vibrancy and soul-to-soul communion.

Having released her anticipated debut album ‘Hermetica’ on DFA two years ago, plus an array of contributions to the well-furnished catalogues of Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondant, Permanent Vacation and Dresden’s Uncanny Valley, NYC-based talent Perel clocks in with a magnetic comber of a rework, all arpeggiators blazing. Clearing the opaque, late- night haze enshrouding Elninodiablo’s original, Perel eases us in a distinctly luminous sonic realm where synths reign supreme – flaring, bouncing and swelling in endless tides as the groove revs up towards upper spheres of consciousness.

Hidden Empire – Lost Spirits (SVT286)

release date: February 05, 2021

The ‘Lost Spirits’ album is a nod to the certain kind of limitless magic which happens when people come together, without preconceptions, to get lost in the music together.

is an exploration in sounds for dancing. Catalysed by the catastrophe that was 2020, Hidden Empire step off the stage and retreat to the studio on a quest to find out what moves the people.

They seem to have found it. One out of the box, this 16 track album is designed for diversity. Hidden Empire oar their creative rudders, lending their hand from techno to deep house with a cheeky reach-around to a more downtempo vibe.

The first three tracks send you down the rabbit hole on a toe-tapping, hip-slapping aural escapade to the heavier edge of techno, the sublime vocals of Artche taking you directly back to those dancefloor moments when time stands still.

Taking the stairs two at a time in polyamorous heels, you’ll fall in love with the sassy, classy, savage vibes of ‘Resurgence’ and ‘Dark Matter’.

Transitioning to a more tribalesque vibe is ‘Organic Train’ a cut which blends the primitive, esoteric influence of the old world with the punchy, industrial sounds of the new world. Continuing on the exploratory sound voyage of downtempo, broken beaten space techno, ‘Mr. P’ stands in the forest listening to the plants talk to the people. Bebetta slips in with her inimitable style in the collectively inspired ‘All of Us’, keeping the Fun Dial turned right up.

Delving deep into the tundra, ‘Hectic Dreams’ become reality as the album turns towards the chunkier end of the musical spectrum. Punching out the bass-heavy bangers like ‘Once Upon’ (with a cameo from South African slam poet & spoken word artist The Lazarusman), Hidden Empire roll out with a flurry of cuts that are limitless in genre and luminous in effect.
