“Just give yourself some time to recharge. Open the door of Melodic Techno and get into fantasy. Wicked synthesizer loops, arpeggios and dynamic effects form a superb result of success. Concentrate on the drops and fade ins while taking a deep breath for the next seconds.”

Quote of Jochen Naaf: “I’ve known Alex (singer of Verboten Berlin) since years and have always been a fan of his soulful voice.

The Verboten guys decided to also release their own special club version of SYMMETRY,
which they also perform live and has a different unique approach:
Musically the Club Remix starts with a electronic bell and some deep drums, it then slowly builds the atmospheric vibe by adding synth brass and arpeggiated Prophet sounds that interact with some light vocal chops.
After the vocals fade in for the breakdown, the tension keeps rising with the main vocal and some percussion and ramps before the full massive beat drops back in, right on point with the high chorus chants.
At this peak moment a syncopated synth line enters the picture and keeps pushing the remix forward with reverbs and detuned FX sounds before the song fades into the deep...
Lyrically the song examines the concept of “Symmetry”, how symmetry can transform things intobeauty,howtolookforthesubtledetails: “Whatyoulookatisnotwhatitseems....”

“Rocco Kredo communicates his message of "No Price". This is the priceless feeling of freedom via music production procedure. Meaningful words mixed with special Tech House beat. Yes, it's another dancefloor mindblowing bomb!”
-Nagamag.com
No Price is the latest single of Rocco Kredo, the text was written and sung by Gionathan and with the feminine touch of Stefania Evangelista.
The song basically describes the desire and need to produce music, despite the full period of bad news that the whole world is going through, the feeling of freedom that can be savored while producing music is priceless and cannot be replaced. Therefore, it speaks of the fact that freedom is priceless and that nothing can ever buy free thought.

Rocco Kredo is a music producer and DJ based in Turin.
Rocco starting djing as a teenager and he early became a hip-hop music producer and MC.
In the last two years, he found his new way in electronic music. His work soon spots the attention of labels as Doctors of Chaos Music Group, Unbelievable Records, Lowdown Recordings, and Wanderlust that published his tracks.
“Get ready for the ultimate twisting experience from Max Maxwell. A selected track from his recent album. "Harbour Master" is characterized by its dynamic intro, fat bassline and rich percussion. Attractive elements of a House hit that can cause endless dancing.”
-Nagamag.com
Max Maxwell has been quietly making noise in the New Zealand music scene since everything smelled like Teen Spirit.
Running the aural gamut from downbeat to progressive, Max borrows dancefloor elements, dubs them out with chunky bass lines, and adds a sprinkle of melodic electronica tempered with sonorous vocals to create a rich patina of soundscapes which is at once dynamic and uplifting; reflective and deep.
Born and bred in the wild coastal town of Westport in New Zealand’s South Island, Max tutu’d with music as a teenager, learning classical guitar and playing in live bands.
The rubber hit the road In the early 1990’s when he travelled to the UK and discovered the wondersome world of electronic music.
Curiosity piqued, Max harnessed his background skills as a computer programmer, and studied music technology and production at Tai Poutini Polytechnic in the wild coastal town of Greymouth.
After one term, he picked up the call to travel more, landing in Japan where he cut his teeth busking, and Goa, where he soaked up the psytrance scene.
Several moons later, Max returned to Golden Bay, New Zealand, teaming up with pals Bluey and Col to form Matipo Pyramid, a psytrance band which quickly garnered a reputation for a damn good sound, releasing their self-titled album in 1997.
Fast forward to 2001, when Max, based out of Golden Bay, released his first solo album ‘Continuous Play’, which was nominated for the Best Downbeat Album Award at the BFM NZ Music Awards.
The album catalysed a shift: with much of Max’s new direction and inspiration flowing from the people he worked alongside on the album, including Ron Valente, Jules Evans and Bluey, who exposed him to fresh sounds, new ways to make beats, and sound engineering.
Moving to Wellington in 2007 and shifting gears to a funkier, more soulful tip, Max started a live act, playing with Carmel Courtney, renowned saxophonist player and vocalist from Christchurch, New Zealand. Together, they have played most of the festivals in New Zealand over the years, predominantly with Sam Hopley on guitar.
Always evolving, Max collaborated with his son Sol for the first time on Spirit Level to incorporate live elements (Sol’s drumming) into his music production.
In May, the duo produced “Can U Feel It” together during the COVID-19 lockdown in New Zealand, which is hopefully the beginning of many more collaborations.
Always evolving, Max collaborates with his son Sol to incorporate live elements into his music production.
At home in the windy cultural capital of New Zealand, Max has found his niche, beaming out his hearty, wholesome sound from the tiny windswept isles of New Zealand.

musician and promoter Vyacheslav Kudryashov, one of the founders of the Fast Foot project, as

After some time, Vyacheslav left the project and Kirill kept the project until the time when his level of writing music reached a good sound.

Four Hands – this is Alex and Marcel.
When Alex and Marcel met a few years ago they soon figured that they are sharing a huge joy and passion for electronic sounds. This was the beginning of a very special friendship and the reason for starting to engage in music intensely together.
Just like the two guys themselves, also their music style has developed over the years and went from a deep sound into a melodic techno style with a focus on massive synth parts.
During the times the two DJs got supported by various famous artists like SOLOMUN, Kevin de Vries and lately Nicole Moudaber who played their tracks on big events like BPM Mexico, United We Stream ARTE concert, ReConnect – Together for Beirut and on Nicole’s legendary radio show IN THE MOOD.
Another important passion project in Four Hands’ career is the launch of their own record label VERSPIELT Musik based in Frankfurt am Main / Germany. It focuses on tracks with a sound from melodic to techno. Part of the label is the VERSPIELT show case, which was welcoming amazing artists like ARTBAT, Musumeci and starlet Carla Casanova so far.

“House tune with a celestial and mystic taste. Beat and percussion in balance with string instruments can easily bring the desire to dance. Will you resist in the call of "Terresan"?”
-Nagamag.com
Teressan is back with a brand new EP out today called ‘Arrival’ and he has certainly lived up to his reputation of creating tracks that strike a balance between introspective listening and awakening the urge to get up, move and lose yourself within the music. The first track on this EP is called Le Poème Sonore which harnesses an intricate beat and warming synths that create an insatiably funky groove. Using stunning harmonies, rising intensities and layers of melodies, Teressan creates a dreamy soundscape that gets your senses tingling.
The second tune is called ‘Prophet Work’ and features a perfect culmination of electronic and traditional instrumental with tropical sounds thrown in for good measure. This infectiously catchy tune holds more grit than the previous track but is just as intoxicating to listen to. ‘Jamming’ is the third and final production on the ‘Arrival’ EP that has a relaxed, progressive vibe to it. It’s uber-cool sound is created from a bright topline and swirling synths that become more prominent as the track goes on. The music calms down to an almost silence mid-way through before taking things back up a notch and forging a real feel-good tune.
Terresan is a German-American producer based in Berlin and New York City. His sound can be defined as a mix of genres moving between elements of deep, melodic house and downtempo, organic productions. Influenced equally by house, techno and analog synth artists, as by the poetic lyricism of old rock and folk music. Some of his previous critically acclaimed releases include ‘Unison’ and ‘Pensive Movement’.
Teressan’s ‘Arrival’ EP is out now

“Plastic boldly tells the story of our world in which we humans like never far apart. Klangkarussell found the perfect balance between melody and dynamics, so in a manner peculiar to reflect its vision of current reality.”
“Plastic смело повествует о нашем мире, в котором мы, люди, как никогда далеки друг от друга. Klangkarussell нашёл отличный баланс между мелодией и динамикой, чтобы в свойственной ему манере отразить его видение нынешней реальности.”
-Nagamag.com
https://smarturl.it/Plastic-Klang
Klangkarussell begin 2021 with ‘Plastic’, a synth-heavy piece of emotive electronic music released via their Bias Beach imprint. ‘Plastic’ is a commentary on consumerism. The poignant vocal and the video created by the band tell of a world – Earth – where people are more disconnected than ever from each other, from themselves, and from the planet that they live on. And, as it fills with plastic from their endless appetite for consumption and convenience, how humans have begun to take that form and become ‘plastic’ themselves.
Klangkarussell launched Bias Beach with ‘Comoros’, their first single away from a major label deal that spawned hit singles ‘Sonnentanz’ and ‘Time’, and their debut album, ‘Netzwerk’. Creating their own label has proven to be a winning strategy: Klangkarussell’s releases on Bias Beach alone totalled over 25 million in 2020, spurred by the huge success of a run of singles. The label has now become home to GIVVEN (‘Ghostkeeper’) which comprises Klang’s Adrian alongside Jordan and Nico; and SIN, whoselatest release ‘Neon’ is out now.
Adrian and Tobi’s previous single, ‘My World’ (feat. Kyle Pearce), and the accompanying short film, portrayed environmental issues that Klangkarussell now continue with ‘Plastic’. This single joined ‘Shipwreck’ as a two-track release. Ahead of this came ‘Ghostkeeper’, their previous collaboration with GIVVEN, which now has over 9 million streams.
Following the outbreak of the current covid 19 pandemic, Klangkarussell put all touring on hold. Their last shows were in the UK for a sold out Night Tales London, Europe (including taking the Saturday night honours at Benicassim), Beirut and South America.
Klangkarussell, which translates to English as “Sound Carousel”, were formed in Salzburg, Austria by Tobias Rieser and Adrian Held. Both respected producers in their own right, they first broke through with the jazz-tinged instrumental club record ‘Sonnentanz’, which reached the Top 10 in 6 different countries, including No.1 in The Netherlands. Unexpectedly, a record they’d written for their own DJ sets had taken on a life of it’s own, and when a vocal version – retitled ‘Sonnentanz (Sun Don’t Shine)’ and featuring British soul singer Will Heard – was released the following summer, it became a global hit and went on to become one of the biggest dance records of that decade (despite the pair shunning all publicity).
Following the success of ‘Sonnentanz’, the duo then released their second single, ‘Netzwerk (Falls Like Rain)’, featuring vocalist Tom Havelock, and which also became a hit. Klangkarussell’s debut album, ‘Netzwerk’, appeared soon after and sporting the singles ‘Hey Maria’ and ‘In the Crowd Alone’ appeared in 2016, followed by ‘Time’, ‘Circuits’, and ‘Good to Go’ in 2017. Musically, and with the type of creative freedom they had during their initial rise to fame, both Tobi and Adrian have entered a new decade exactly where they want to be.
