Distrikt Paris France 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Distrikt Paris head honcho Bassam is back with a superb double album that defines his own unique take on the underground. It is genre-defying and widescreen in its cope as it flows freely from sound to sound. 'Electronic Rhapsody' is a superb symphony of lush synth design and airy breakbeats that keep you suspended in space. 'Apres Faut Aimer La Fete' brings twisted acid to slick tech house beats and 'Sos Marrakech' brings a more retro synth sound with crashing hits and stiff, angular rhythms. Elsewhere are more poppy sounding melodies and synths on 'Panorama Vision' and a turbocharged future tech cut 'LAP Memory' (40ine mix) is another late nightlight.

Review: The DKTPS 03 EP by Trajano on Distrikt Paris serves up a blend of techno and house along with some nostalgic acid influences across five standout tracks. Opening with 'Don't Give Up', a collaboration with Villaca, the EP offers a catchy acid-driven groove with sparkling melodies and minimal techno undertones. 'X@k410' follows with a 90s Goa-inspired sound, reminiscent of the progressive house era, delivering a deep and trippy vibe. On Side-2, 'Scorpio House' takes a mystical turn, invoking early 90s trance with its mysterious atmosphere and enchanting rhythms. 'Crisalia' then kicks in with a wicked, techy beat that seamlessly bridges techno elements into the mix. Finally, 'I'm High', featuring Lourene, rounds off the EP with a nostalgic journey into early electronic sounds, offering a dreamy and reflective trip. This EP is a well-crafted exploration of techno and house's roots, with Trajano skillfully weaving retro influences into fresh, minimal, and progressive sounds.
