HOT WAX Archives — MEOKO

12 tracks listed below by Primărie will do all the talking;

1- Premiesku – The Last Man on The Moon EP // ALLINN028

So being in a period where over generousity is experienced at a high level, here is our take for a special wax with divine sounds :). We start with Premiesku who ‘soar’ to ‘only’ take us on a trip to the moon and then we are ‘Even’ for the whole EP. We can always go Sci-Fi when this lovely Romanian trio share their newest sounds on All Inn Black, we can already be sure it’s the deepes underground cut coming out from their studio.

2- Adrian Niculae – Consensual EP // MTF005

Back to a sound we cherish, and one that is stands out for this period. Adrian Niculae is back with his own ‘Motif‘ to share with us another cocktail made out of fruits from his own garden. I’m sure I ‘SeeSaw’ cherries in this smoothie too while B Side reminds me of a whole cycle i have to review, re-align and recentre myself then move on and on, play with this play.

3- Fonetica (Cristi Cons & Dubtil) – Noises EP // NMS003

Here is an interesting collab, one that has a tender flow, one that define powerfull drum rythms. Who are they? Well Cristi Cons and Dubtil come out as Fonetica, with their first ‘Noises EP’ on Nervmusic special side series. I’m sure the point is to get ‘Lost in thought’ when everything is so well done in the ‘background’. The sound proposes another way of rhythm and tight percussions and the time is right for us to have these options too.

4- Arapu – Wasted Ego EP // UND007

A ‘Wasted Ego’ title as a sublime message for a sublime sound, delivered by Arapu on Understand. Did you get it ? Uplifting sound with a scary atmosphere and voices ‘from the other side’ show you can’t always have the bliss without a bit of extra-ordinary tension meant to keep you straight and offer you a wide range of experiences.

5- Mihai Pol – Invasion EP // OTK003

Already with a sound if his own, Mihai Pol continues to polish his craft with a new EP on the Londoner Otaku Records. It’s ok, there is an invasion going on, and Triptil is on board with a B Side remix, calls out his best troops and rolls out his offensive and uplifting groove taking on the lead in this adventouros manifest.

6- Cally – Calldaer EP // MELONIAN005

Of course one player getting fresh attention is romanian dj and producer Cally. Usually with a perfected round sound, in this EP he reveals his high pillar attitude on front side and then shares his wormth and angelic atmospheres with two perfect after-hours tracks on side B.

7- Costin Rp – Basics EP // RUERE004

Costin Rp is one that i know likes to go further and explore his sounds and mainly he comes up with new ingredients for his cocktail. Making it more spacious and lightly in the same time, Ruere is the right caravan to serve this jam sessions. Whishpering questions are thrown throughout the whole experience. Did you hear?

8- Unknown Artist – DRGS01 // DRGS01

As you know it is a pleasure to write about the Unknown Artist who does not need any more recognition and just shares his feelings and moods with us. On the first one of these series you’ll find clues and ways as to how to get wild and childly again and of course if you ‘Say it Loud’ you will get it better.

9- Floog – Ambele EP // FLG001

I have love for new beggings and to share the right ones with you and as itold you before I’m happy the artist behind Floog is back on track again, delivering smooth rhythms with clean and clear percussion cuts aiming for an ever more fractalized house music anthems. It’s all under a great plan, delivered with love and joy on FLG001.

10- Piktor – Acid Space EP // LKMV002

https://soundcloud.com/lokomotiv-music/sets/piktor-acid-space-ep-incl-sublee-remix” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrerp>

How do you make a painting of acid floating in space? Well there is one formula very well presented here and tell me if you can find a better one. Regarding groove and sound, Piktor found his ways and it’s ready to be part of our big community. We’re sure the EP on Lokomotiv is just a small card of the big picture, and we’re shure the canvas is ever expanding.

11- MOi – 08 // MOI008

https://www.juno.co.uk/products/moi-008/667248-01/

https://www.decks.de/track/moi-08/caz-hl

House, Groove, Rhythm… oi oi. It’s all in here, it’s the new MOI release. Undergound house music all the way under this project and the credits go in Eastern Europe. Well it is a very fine touch of uplifting side of our house music and this release is set to bound new standards, as the ones before, it did.

12- VA – Tzinah On Black 004 // TZHBK004

4 Romanian talents,  Hansel!, Mihai Pol, Herck and vlf, are billed for TZHBK004. When speaking of Tzinah records, it is always a treat to ears.

Recently regarded as one of Spain’s “best kept secrets,” Javier Carballo, internationally acclaimed DJ, producer, and label owner, grew up on an exotic Spanish island called Gran Canaria. From the warm sounds of inspiration of the vibrant wellspring of life surrounding him, music became a way of life to transmit emotions and communion through sound. Thoroughly dedicated to this calling, Javier’s passion drains over everything he does, channeling his creative efforts to produce deeply emotional, strikingly state­of­the­art underground deep house and techno. Since 2009, Carballo’s career has continued to evolve with his solo projects and remixes that received support by some of the biggest names in the industry. 

And now, 6 tracks listed below by the man himself, Javier Carballo, will do all the talking;

1- Primary perception – Retroftted Future Vl. 1 – Slow Life

I am very happy to see how 2 good friends from my island are one of the most exciting duos right now in the electronic scene, this ep is clearly my favorite of them , anyway all the things done by the guys are top level music. This ep has 5 tracks, where Mahy and Nichel do a trip between house, Minimal , electro and deep sounds.

2- Tommy Vicari Jr – Beta Stop Thinking – Lowwaxx

This EP is one of my favourite last work of Tommy, the 2 tracks are weird but when u start to listen them u can’t  take it out of your mind, Minimal techno and atmospheric sounds , with a great Rich Nxt remix oriented to the dance floor.

3.- Pola – Kuku – Aku

Two big tracks in Pola release, each side works just perfect in After sets or nights, amazing baseline and groove. proper records for clubs and djs.

4.- Disk – Blackloops 02

All the last Disk releases are great, solid rhythms , amazing pads and transitions , this time Blackloops 01 have 2 cuts where the rolling house, minimal and groove elements doing a perfect combination.

5.- BSS – Unrequested State Of Bliss, Bosconi

What a package of 8 tracks, Im really impressed  with this work of the trio of Bosconi Sound system I can play each track in deferents moments, Minimal, Driving tech house, Deep techno, Electro. Honestly nowadays is so difficult to see a double vinyl and be sure to buy it, in this case100%

6.- Martyne & Jacob / Bodin & Jacob – Gesandt – Traffic Records

Every records of Traffic is a real bomb ,this time Bodin does 4 tracks collaborating with his friends Jacob and Martyne to do a new era of Electro, minimal and breaks.

6 tracks listed below by Primărie will do all the talking;

1- RQZ – Freaks EP // MODEIGHT004

https://soundcloud.com/modeight-records/sets/modeight004″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer

So let’s start this session with an artist who is stepping up in the vinyl only world, and that is the Romanian DJ, Midi Club Resident, RQZ. With a great approach to his sound and his techniques, this EP is a great anchor beetwen the house world and the more deep and fractalized micro-house music.

2- Miroloja – Subtitle EP // OLOREC001

https://soundcloud.com/user-803090296/sets/miroloja-subtitle-ep-olorec001″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer

https://soundcloud.com/user-803090296/sets/miroloja-subtitle-ep-olorec001/

Another great and courageous opening are from the Miroloja brothers, with their first release at their headquarters Olo Records. Armed up with two smooth remixes from artists like Nima Gorji and Rowlanz, they make a great promise to the scene, and that is to release quality music in their view and understanding. Done well so far for me.

3- Silat Beksi – Shushu EP // WOW05

Back to groove and to that peculiar sound we cherish most, Silat Beksi showing two sides in his What you Want release called Shushu EP. What we love about Silat is that he won’t let the guard down and he’s always massaging our ears with some breaks on every release. Of course the other side of him is revealed in the more detailed Java track.

https://www.decks.de/track/silat_beksi-shushu_ep/caz-zn

4- Floog – Gicu cu Robotzi EP // HOARD003

https://soundcloud.com/user-647178105/sets/floog-gigu-cu-robotzi-ep-vinyl-only-horder-hoard003″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer

https://soundcloud.com/user-647178105/sets/floog-gigu-cu-robotzi-ep-vinyl-only-horder-hoard003/

Great to see such an experienced artist going out on his own and showing his more soulfull side on his solo alias Floog. We are talking about George the third part of Premiesku near Livio and Roby. Now we get to see where the more esoteric and atmospherical parts of that were coming from, it’s all over this EP and i really look forward to the direction of Floog.

5- Vlad Arapasu – Artifical Moves // SBTL010

https://soundcloud.com//subtil-records/sets/vlad-arapasu-artifical-moves-sbtl010″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer

Talking about taking things on a solo attitude, Vlad Arapasu from Dubsons did that recently also, delivering his first EP at the German Subtil Records. He is expressing his happiness and thoughfull messages throughout his music and my guess he’s got a lot to share! Great EP representing our Romanian sound signature.

https://www.decks.de/track/vlad_arapasu-artificial_moves_ep/cav-mk

6- Beaver Sheppard – TORNADO BRAIN – VILLALOBOS MIXES // SED009

And.. not to be missed is the new release from Sei Es Drum, Villalobos trips are being out on A and B, one expressing the ‘sensitive’ voice direction and the other one drumming on the bass and playing it low. This is what we should do also, beat the earth to raise the frequencies and be open cosmical energy from the above.

6 tracks listed below by Dan Primaru will do all the talking;

1- Dragos Ungureanu & Gabriel Amaru – Keep on Going  // she001

The first EP in this session is about brotherhood, family and connection. Keep on Going in London does this at it’s best, and Gabriel Amaru together with Dragos Ungureanu are the first souls to leave their sound on the first wax imprint of this label legacy. I talk like this because i know the team behind this label, the strong connections that are there which are reflected the moments of glory that they create through events and gatherings.

https://www.decks.de/t/dragos_ungureanu-gabriel_amaru-she001/c9u-db

2- Jäfar – Fragil Musique – Fragil 021 //  Tribute to the King

Eighteen release from Fragil comes with an impressive tool from Jäfar, it is straight old-school dance floor track, reminding us about good old times, it is updated with a modern micro house fragrance from two secretive vinyl lovers, and carefully selected by another two, acting behind the label.

https://www.deejay.de/Jaefar_Marszia_FRAGIL18_Vinyl__219063

3- Costin Rp – Bleu Ciel //  Bleu Ciel 006 // Different Personalities 

Developing the genre itself, developing himself, Costin Rp getting lost in the atmospherical realm. When heard and perceived in a specific time and enviroment, these two beauties can lift you up, helping you trancend the body and keeping you in magical place we know we belong. It’s something we’re use to take up from Bleu Ciel music label.

https://www.decks.de/t/costin_rp-different_personalties/c9e-im

4- Ada Kaleh – AK005c // Dene descris (reinterpretari part I)

Here is a strong one, that aims to be a reference point in our scene. Ada Kaleh comes with re-interpretations of his own well know story ‘De Nedescris’. With a great all-romanian team, this EP has many colours, Nu Zau, Teluric and Priku, each putting their vibe and signature into the big rainbow. There will be a part two but this is delicious enough for me.

https://www.decks.de/t/ada_kaleh-dene_descris_reinterpretari/c9e-uf

5- Dubtil – BodyParts Records  //  BPMS008  // Paradox EP

Well, when Dubtil goes out, sometimes is pretty big. I mean in the most recognizable tunes out there, he knows how to leave a mark. Vocalindas is something that will come out of our mouths when discussing some peculiar and beautiful sunrise moments spent on the beach, admiring the sun waves.

https://www.decks.de/t/dubtil-paradox_ep/c9a-4f

6- Ricardo Villalobos – [arpiar]  //  Empirical House 

And, because this can not go unnoticed, here are four tracks of Ricardo, which come out as another album of the artist. For sure the format says is a non-conventional release, the tracks we know they are old and moved our dancefloors in many many events where Arpiar representative were playing, but all is updated for the present and the release is staying as a great point in the micro-house map of the future. The tracks are a standard for all kinds of moments and for sure they will be the inspiration point for many of the artists following ‘the king’s” statement about Empirical House.
