Seven years after his last LP on Alpha House, Argentina’s Franco Cinelli has finished his next full length, All Frequencies, due for release on Esperanza in May 2014. Over the course of the last 15 years, Cinelli has released countless EPs on labels like Bass Culture, AirDrop and Ilian Tape and has proven himself to be a master of the groove, be it a house, techno or disco infected one. This new album encapsulates all that and channels his decades of musical experience into one album that has the dance floor as a common denominator. Disco, funk, house, techno, soul, dub, hypnosis, technology, love and peace are among the constant frequencies that permeate this album and make it such a compelling proposition. No time is wasted in getting down to business and opener ‘I Feel It’ pairs classic house percussion with heavy kick drums before playing with various filters, chucking in bleepy melodies and nice organic human voices. It’s an immediately arresting house track that leads on to the firmly rooted beats of ‘Chi-Trax’. This one is run through with some fine and pixelated synths, chattery claps and icy techno hi hats and it really makes you move. Form there the likes of ‘Cargo’ is built from some nicely rough edged sounding loops and ravey chord stabs, ‘Infiltrate’ drops into a much more subliminal and deeper techno groove and ‘Slippery Arp’ plays with a dynamic synth line that bubbles and boils up and down through the mix and take you with it every step of the way. Finally, there is also digital bonus track ‘Deep Forest’, a serene and emotive techno jam that is more about mind meditation and widescreen synths than it is sweaty dancefloors. It’s a beautiful way to end an album that is full of memorable moments and cultured but club-ready dynamite.

Esperanza´s 25th release comes from labels boss Kasper. Been this his third solo release on the label and the second of his Dope Beats series, on the A side we have the Art of Rebellion, a deep burner with some disco infused sounds all over the place.

This time teaming up with Vitorias best kept secrets, Mario Castillo, also Known as Kastil for his releases on Soul Notes, Outernational and Seven Music, they deliver a true tribute to Chicago's house sound from the 80s. 707, Juno and what more!!

Wonderboy Franco Cinelli is back on track with "Keep On". A groovy funkalicious track featuring typical Cinelli's percussion and drive mixed with a perfect little dose of disco. To remix such a wonderful original track we needed to go back to the roots and invite Mr. Boo Williams and Mr. Glenn Underground who delivered us an exquisite latin jazz infused piece of music (we can't call this House because it goes much further). Enjoy the beats!

Andres Zacco & Marco Zenker, Rosario & Munich, Argentina vs Germany. An old Football classic since ever again. In this case here its less about VS or VST, way more about teaming up for a split Ep and wiping on another debate between Dave's place and Pompak's knee shirt.While Andres is selling knee shirts every summer at Rosario City's hotspot El Putito del Calore, Marco could directly move into Dave's place as he spent more time there in 2011 then Dave's couch.Must be the Schlachthof vibe or simply Dave's roomate cooking for the boys.Simply wonderful mix between bavarian & argentinan carnecerias.The cuts are huge and fat as always.Played by everyone instead of nobody.Grazie per Tutti - Esperanza Label el Records.

When David Hasselhoff was touring Munich the first time, it was a fucking dynamite show. Word. Dario was totally into him since Knight Rider came onto german TV. Who is cooler then Kit and the Hoff?
Nobody. Fact. So this record is a tribute to Dario's childhood influenced by the Turbo Boost beyond the purple sky and Hoff's outfits. Hoff is just sex! The ladys melt away just hearing his name. I have been looking for Love! And Freedom. More

Esperanza's second release of the year comes from label's boss Kasper. His love for the classic sounds is 100% represented on this EP full of 707 drums and acid. Obviously influenced by Chicagos house from the 80s Kasper delivers two bangers ready to jack the dancefloors from all across the world. Although both have the old school vibe going they both keep up with todays production standards. Raw and dirty house music. B side comes with a Damian Schwartzs remix. Huge acid bomb, check it and freak out!. More

NEW MASTERING I guess we don't have many words to describe this new Esperanza in which we are proud to present 'On This Vibe' from the one and only Fred P (Black Jazz Consortium) and a delightful remix by Sistrum's favourite Patrice Scott. The original track is an amazing late night Detroit ride which evolves slowly until it makes you feel floating on clouds. It may last 10 minutes but it's absolutely the kind of track you would want to be endless. On the flipside, Patrice makes some twists and turns to the original track to put his own trademark signatures delivering another breath-taking emotional space walk. We are proud to release this record and hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Supported by: Raresh, Laurent Garnier, Kiki, Dj Sneak, Karotte, Lee Curtiss, Alex Kid, Jimpster, Brothers Vibe, etc..
