Under the name of Sindaco is hidden a complex yet mysterious project where different styles and cultures live together.Obscure kraut rock, no wave, black metal and Detroit techno collide in what can be considered songs more than simple tracks. All is played by Sindaco with analog equipment without the help of computers. All is driven to create the best soundrack possible. The idea is to avoid all the typical cliches of the contemporary electronic productions and push the boundaries into a new way of tropical futurism. Be involved by the unespected waves of sounds coming from another world!

Info:
Say what you want, but Strahil Velchev has never been one to sit still — not on stage, not in the
studio, and certainly not on Versions. Here, KiNK turns his own material inside out, upside down,
and somehow still lands on his feet, grinning. His return to Running Back arrives as four slices of
KiNK logic and mischief: A1. Comin, A2. Pump Version A, B1. Pump Version B, and B2. Pump
Version C.

A1 - Shifting Clouds

B1 - Between Layers
B2 - Reduce

Short Info:

Hailing from Aachen, the Brandwerk resident Daniel[i] is less a producer and more a sound archaeologist. An artist who uncovers the hidden rhythms of nature and translates them into deep, textured techno. His debut EP on a.r.t.less, "Shifting Clouds," is the consistent continuation of this path. The title is not just a name, but a mission statement and a metaphor for his entire approach: music that is organic, fleeting, and full of emotional depth. The four tracks are a journey through soundscapes distilled from field recordings, synths, percussion with analog warmth and dub ethos. From the atmospheric melodic expanses of the title track, "Shifting Clouds," and the almost microscopic detail of "Minutiae," to the hypnotic evolving pull of "Between Layers" and "Reduce", this EP is a masterclass in subtle dynamics. For Mojuba sublabel a.r.t.less, this release is a more than welcome extension of its own sonic cosmos as well as its artist roster.

B2 Let Your Body Go (Instrumental)

Press text: "Cake" was a New York band formed in 1973, following a line-up tweak and a change from their previous name "Mixed Company" (referring to the racially mixed personell). At Arabellum Studios in Colony, Albany, NY, the band recorded their only 7-inch single. "Make Up Your Mind" / "Let Your Body Go" was released on Key Records in 1979.

Half a life time later, after appearing in DJ mixes and online auctions in the late 2000s, the single started gaining notoriety among DJs and dig-gers. Working its way up to "holy grail" status on the modern soul and disco collector scene, original copies of the sought after record would eventually sell for as high as $1000.

In 2012, Hans Jørgen Wærner (Mutual Intentions Co-Founder and notorious disco collector) got in touch with Arabellum studio owner Art Snay who produced the record. This lead him to lead singer Bob Treffiletti who had a cassette tape with unreleased long versions of the songs. The sound quality of the tape was not adequate for what Hans had in mind, and so the hunt for the original master tapes began! Unfortunately, Art Snay later passed away. At one point chances of finding the original recordings seemed so slim, the project was all but abandoned….

Luckily, Bob managed to get hold of the master tapes via Art's wife and they were sent away to legendary disco mixer / remixer John Morales, who transferred the tape to digital format. After several rounds in one of Norway's best mastering studios (Strype Audio), noise reduction and sound surgery were done while retaining the soul of the original recordings. The songs were finally ready to be pressed on the format they have always deserved: the 12-inch disco single!

The 12-inch comes with four 5 min + long songs and can be pre-ordered now. The high-quality lacquer cut pressing is produced at Optimal Media in Germany and limited.

Short Info:

Since the early 90s the name Aubrey has stood for authentic UK Techno with deep roots in Chicago, Detroit and New York. His "Super Analog EP" for Mojuba sublabel a.r.t.less isn't a look back, but a statement on the timeless power of analog sound.
The four tracks are a journey through a spectrum of moods: from the cosmic expanse of "Big Six" and the playful acid touches of "Time Flying" to the raw, hypnotic energy of "Robber Nose" and the wistful depth of "Mysterious Rhythm."
This is music that can connect generations, an inspiration for seasoned listeners and new explorers alike. A stunning label debut that needs no grand explanation because it tells its own powerful story.

TRACKLIST:
A1 Nick Holder - Dance, Dance, Dance (Original Mix)
A2 Nick Holder - Dance, Dance, Dance (Hodges Beats And Bass Remix)
B1 Nick Holder - Dance, Dance, Dance (Trackheadz 6ix Extended Mix)

SHORT INFO:
Nick Holder’s Iconic ‘Dance, Dance, Dance’ Finally Arrives Digitally with New Remixes from Jason Hodges and Trackheadz.
Definitive Recordings proudly presents a long-awaited milestone: the first-ever digital release of ‘Dance, Dance, Dance’ by Nick Holder’s Fruit
Loops project, originally released in 1995 and repressed countless times on vinyl since. This timeless house anthem, a pure expression of discodriven groove, now returns remastered and refreshed — accompanied by two brand-new remixes from fellow Toronto house legends Jason Hodges and Trackheadz.

The original version of ‘Dance, Dance, Dance’ captures the raw magic of mid-90s house — a stripped yet irresistible jam that fuses classic 70s
disco sampling with a deep, rolling bassline and a straight house groove. It’s simple, it’s soulful, and it’s pure disco-house sexiness.
Jason Hodges delivers a playful rework that modernizes the cut while keeping its soul intact. His remix adds shuffled percussion, chopped vocals,
and a subtly reworked bassline — injecting a fresh rhythmic twist that stays true to the track’s roots while enhancing its dancefloor punch.
Trackheadz then takes the track into deeper territory, layering lush synth chords, organ lines, and sweeping strings over a steady, hypnotic build
— a masterclass in musicality and atmosphere for the late-night crowd.

A true veteran of Toronto’s house scene, Nick Holder rose to international acclaim in the late ’90s and early 2000s with releases on Definitive,
NRK, Stickmen, and Studio K7, shaping the sound of deep and soulful house. As the founder of DNH Records, he’s been a driving force behind
countless underground classics, including ‘Da Sambafrique’, ‘Trying to Find Myself’, and ‘Summer Daze’.
Jason Hodges, another staple of the Toronto underground, is known for his tough yet groovy sound that bridges New York swing and Chicago
grit. Having remixed the likes of DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter, DJ Heather, and Kaskade, Hodges continues to be a name synonymous with timeless,
floor-filling house. Trackheadz, helmed by Nick Holder as well, brings decades of experience in blending sweet strings, soulful brass, and deep
club energy.

Nearly three decades on, ‘Dance, Dance, Dance’ still grooves as hard as ever — now revitalized for the next generation of house lovers

Following a debut EP praised for its freshness and boldness, S-Pazz returns with Birth of
Light, a second release that fully confirms the potential of the Parisian duo. Blending elements
of house, jazz, broken beat, and ambient, the record sees them refine their musical identity
with a more intimate and introspective approach, yet always deeply rhythmic and luminous.
Composed four-hands during a moment of personal transition, the EP feels like a rite of
passage where music becomes a space of unity, resilience, and imagination.

“This EP reflects a major transition in our lives, as it was written during Nathan’s move out of the
shared flat where we also had our studio. Despite the change, we managed to preserve the unique
creative world that defines the identity of S-Pazz. We deliberately infused it with a wide range of
influences, spanning different eras and cultures. ‘Birth of Light’ builds on the foundations laid with our
first EP: crafting music at the crossroads of our respective influences, always driven by our love for
cinematic soundscapes.” S-Pazz

The opening track, “Ce Matin-Là”, unfolds with a dreamlike atmosphere, led by lush string
arrangements from Nathan’s father, a double bassist already sampled on their first EP. “We wanted to
get closer to those tracks that bridge electronic and orchestral music, like what 4Hero, Bonobo, or
even Air have done,” explains S-Pazz. The track also gets a reinterpretation from Tour-Maubourg,
who delivers a deep house remix tinged with bossa nova, infusing the piece with a warm, summery,
and organic tone that extends the EP’s globe-trotting spirit.
With “Together”, the Parisian duo pays tribute to the UK broken beat scene through a syncopated
and generous track where analog synths and live grooves coexist with subtle balance. “We wrote it in
Instagram | Youtube | TikTok | SoundCloudthe summer of 2024. It combines a lot of sampling and a growing passion for synths we’ve developed
over time. For the percussion, we drew a lot of inspiration from producers like Da Lata, 4hero, and
Chaos in the CBD.”

“My Heart” captures the EP’s dancefloor soul, a hybrid of broken beat, jazz, and funk. Warm brass,
Prophet 5 bass doubled with a Rhodes, and a breathy vocal that bridges groove and emotion. “It’s a
blend of jazz, dub, and funk. Club music that speaks to the body as much as to the heart.”
The fruit of a year-long process, “Bees Die After Stinging” brings together afro-influenced 6/8
rhythms, field recordings of beehives, and finely crafted jazz arrangements. The illusion of a live band
is meticulously constructed in-studio. “We’re especially proud of this track, it really captures the
meeting point between our two musical worlds.”

The closing track, “Ocean Reflections”, deliberately breaks away from classic house structure,
embracing a freer, more ambient form. It brings the EP to a contemplative and fluid end. “We wanted
to close the EP with something special, no four-on-the-floor kick, but a preserved groove that invites
introspection. We invited our friend Claire Grunenberger to sing, and Grégoire added a jazz solo as a
tribute to the early days of St Germain.”

S-Pazz is a project formed by Nathan and Grégoire, close friends and creative partners both on and
off stage. Their music reflects a rare intersection of jazz, house, broken beat, and narrative-driven
electronic music, shaped by their distinct backgrounds: Grégoire is a jazz-trained multi-instrumentalist,
while Nathan is a DJ and beatmaker influenced by hip-hop and raised in a family of musicians. Their
debut EP Tales of Dancing Waters (2024) quickly caught the attention of listeners and curators alike,
racking up hundreds of thousands of streams and landing on playlists alongside artists like Berlioz,
Barry Can’t Swim, Dublon, and Tour-Maubourg. Now, with Birth of Light, the duo takes a major step
forward in their evolution, laying the foundation for a deeply personal, immersive, and resolutely
luminous musical language.
