Tracklist:
A. Jorkes - Mindemania (Nikkname Remix)
B1. Jorkes - Mindemania (Lovegasm Version)
B2. Jorkes - Mindemania (Original Mix)
Short info:
Munich pair Jorkes continue to build a nice head of steam with a third new single. Entitled 'Mindemania', it comes once more on the small but well formed Freeride Millenium label with a great remix from Nikkname. Little is known about Jorkes other than they have a magpie approach to sound: anything goes with them, taking cues from a wide musical sphere but always distilling them into their own unique offerings. Their last release was a sumptuous slo-mo affair that got played and dance to far and wide and this new cut is just as likely to standout from the crowd. Say the pair of the release, "this is a journey through the night. Through everything that keeps us moving."
The scintillating single is the sort of thing to slowly sweep you off your feet with its skyward synths extending out from broody drums. Dreamy yet propulsive, it takes you amongst the clouds before falling apart with gentle percussive hits and tumbling keys. Freeform and loose, it is fresh sounding indeed.
The Lovegasm Version "adds the erotica to your night you were praying for" according to those behind it, and they are not wrong. It is a more beat driven affair with drifting vocal sounds bringing a certain steaminess to the groove.
Finally you are invited to surrender yourself to ambient magician Nikkname and his interpretation of how deep a journey can go. Over eight minutes he embeds you at the centre of spiralling pads, with harmonic bell sounds and dark cosmic energies stretching out in all directions. It's a thoroughly absorbing affair, to be sure.

Tracklist:

A1. Number Of Names
A2. Glutamate Transmission
B1. True Colour
B2. Bubbles The Chimp
B3. Soundwaves

Short info:

Hot on the heels of their proud new charity project and first ever compilation ‘Freeride Millenium presents Queer Base’, this agenda setting label returns with an evocative new EP from Brazilian artist Rotciv, also appearing on vinyl in collaboration with Pauls Musique.
DJing since 1996 and Berlin based since 2010, Rotciv has been playing places like the acclaimed Panorama Bar, Frankfurt’s legendary Robert Johnson club and the Cocktail D’Amore parties for many years. He runs Mister Mistery, a label focused on house music, while also releasing himself on Luv Shack, Unterton (Ostgut Ton) Skylax and many more. All this comes alongside his The Rimshooters project with Massimiliano Pagliara.
He kicks off this fresh EP with 'Number of Names', a rugged roller on the border between house and techno with a phased bassline and rolling chords that get you in a meditative state. The more upbeat 'Glutamate Transmission' gets you shifting shapes with its daubs of acid, crisp percussive flashes and busy bassline, then 'True Colour' has an old school Chicago feel with its chatty claps and acid lines. The moods continue to evolve with style on 'Bubbles The Chimp', a tense cut of broken techno, futuristic machine sounds and lively synths. Beautiful ambient closer 'Soundwaves' is a lush comedown amongst the stars.
This is a fully formed and journeying EP of fantastic underground sounds with artwork by Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Taking inspiration from a vast musical sphere, the Munich-Vienna pair Jorkes are widely recognised for their open-minded and passionate approach to electronic music which is translated through their Freeride Millenium imprint and own unique productions. ‘Cross The Line’ will be the duo’s first outing since 2016 seeing them join up with the Italian pair Hard Ton who are known for releases on Wonder Stories, Luv Shack Records, Toy Tonics and many more. Jorkes invite Live At Robert Johnson artist Massimiliano Pagliara and Philpot founder SoulPhiction aka Jackmate for remix duties which tops off this distinctive release highlighting the openness and sensibility of their musical philosophy.
‘Cross The Line’ begins the EP with alleviating pads balanced harmoniously with alluring, heart-warming vocals and gentle keys drifting throughout before Massimiliano Pagliara delivers an infectious remix focusing on hypnotic bass grooves, effervescent drums and undulating pads fluttering naturally with the stirring modulations.
‘Jackmate’s Dub Mix’ deploys low-riding resonations fused with muffled tones and thrilling, shuffling rhythms within whereas ‘Jackmate’s 90s Mix’ focuses heavily on organic percussion rolling throughout with robust musical elements and looping vocals. SoulPhiction’s ’Dub Mix’ completes the pack with a tranquil take on the original laying focus on funk-infused instrumentals and subdued jazz drums.

7" - Coloured White Vinyl

Tracklist:
A. L´amour
B. I Wanna Go To Heaven

Short info:
The next collaborative release between Freeride Millenium and Pauls Musique is a terrific two-tracker from Manchester artist Joseph Louis Harland Manning under his new alias Los Angeles with the 7" vinyl release artwork designed by Daniel Rajcsanyi as part of his 'BABY' exhibition in Austria.
Joseph Louis Harland Manning was the drummer of the band Wu Lyf and is involved in projects like Los Porcos, the Mancunian boyband Menage a Trois and Dream Lovers. Under his other aliases he released on Aficionado, Cracki, Ocean Records and Is It Balearic? sub label U?ber as well as having made music videos for Molly Nilsson.
Here he is fine form across a pair of delicate and moving synth tracks.
Opener 'L'amour' is a gentle cut that starts with celestial chords and wide-open expanses of synth before a buried deep groove slowly comes to the fore. Breathy vocals also add to the loved-up, dreamy feel and the whole thing carries you away in a majestic reverie that shifts from ambience to new age house. The track features the artists own field recordings from the streets of Berlin, twisting up sounds from the sidewalk into percussive notes that give an organic feel.
The perfectly soothing second offering is 'I Wanna Go To Heaven' is a gorgeous synth piece that suspends you in a crystal clear blue sky on a warm summer's day. Chords are smeared and stretched whilst angelic, wordless vocals drift by. It is the sound of a blissful passage to the afterlife and will leave you feeling cleansed.
This is a truly emotive package of music that marks another first rate release on this ever evolving label

Tracklist:
A. Greg B1. Emile B2. Embrace
Short info:
Oberst & Buchner are next up on Freeride Millenium and the two Bavaria born, Vienna based producers deliver an EP that offers their interpretation of what "modern summer togetherness sounds like." The talented pair started making music together aged 15 and aim to cook up emotionally driven jams.
They do so on labels like Heimlich, Underyourskin Records, Schönbrunner Perlen, Lokd, and always get the juices going, as they do once again here.
Beginning with the brilliant 'Greg' we dive into a breakbeat bath of summery chords as playful claves dance on the horizon. It is a melodically rich track with spiritual feelings that really bliss you out.
On the moodier 'Emile' night time arrives and warm chords mix with jangling, organic glass and percussive tinkles that reflect rays of light. It's a perfectly jazzy and loose number that really suspends you in a rueful place.
Last but not least, 'Embrace' is a fluid intergalactic convention with sparse drum kicks weighed down by sombre synths. A skittish, dubstep style groove then comes in and elevates the track with gentle guitar licks and slithering synths adding colour, and overall it has the same zoned out feel as a thousand-yard stare. This is a brilliant mood EP that mixes up the synthetic with the organic, creating some fascinating grooves as a result.
The release once again features original artwork from the ever talented Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Tracklist:
A1. Raphael Danilo feat. George Pappos - Strangers (Nikkname Remix)
A2. Raphael Danilo feat. George Pappos - Strangers (Innellea Remix)
B. Raphael Danilo feat. George Pappos - Strangers (Original)

Short info:
For their next release, Freeride Millenium once again link up with Pauls Musique for a perfectly formed new EP from Raphael Danilo feat. George Pappos.
Both Danilo and Pappos reside in the rough edges of the greek mountain Parnassos, their musical approach takes cues from their proximity to the ancient sanctuary of Delphi and sees them cook up one fine cut which then gets remixed by Innellea and Nikkname.
That lead single is 'Strangers', eight spiritual and spooky minutes of spine tingling and eerie synth music that really takes you on a trip. It operates on another dimension, with pixelated lines and undulating pads all suspending you in space. Perfect for an epic set opening or to really reset the dancefloor with an attention grabbing and emotive piece, it is a truly classy track full of musicality and suspense and atmosphere.
German pair Innellea then step up to remix and brilliantly flip the cut into something just as epic and enchanting but with a mid tempo, rubbery house beat down low helping you slip into the deep and colourful groove.
Last of all, Nikkname then re-works the whole thing into something minimal and absorbing. The whole thing is riddled with intricate sound design, tender piano keys and the sound of static. It is a real symphony of the organic and the electronic and as such cannot fail to make its mark.
This is an artful package that demands close listening with suitably eye catching visuals supplied once again by artist Daniel Rajcsanyi.
