PREMIERE: Robot84 - Beasts Of The Far East

Discoholics Anonymous · PREMIERE: Robot84 - Beats From The Far East There’s something timeless about Robot 84 - something about the way Scott Ferguson distills sun-drenched nostalgia into dance-floor immediacy, where past and future collide in shimmering waves of rhythm and melody. With each installment of the much-lauded Promo series, he’s sculpted a space where house music and Balearic dreamscapes don’t just coexist but thrive together, expanding in all directions. Volume 5 continues that tradition, an exercise in refined, blissed-out euphoria, perfectly tuned for both sunrise reveries and deep-club pulses.“Beats from the Far East” carries the weight of history, a successor to Volume 4’s “Dreams from the Far East,” and, like its predecessor, it operates on a different frequency-fluid, effortless, a low-slung rhythmic odyssey that speaks to the soul of Balearic music. A rolling trip-hop-style bassline underpins delicate flute phrases, pads unfurl like distant tides, and the whole track moves with a measured, intoxicating ease, never rushing, never overstating - just breathing.https://www.robot84.com/https://www.instagram.com/robot84music/https://www.facebook.com/robot84music/https://twitter.com/robot84musichttps://soundcloud.com/robot84 Read the full article

Sunner Soul - Soulset Grooves

Discoholics Anonymous · Sunner Soul - Soulset Grooves Two mesmerizing tracks from Vintage Music legend, Sunner Soul, who makes his debut on Discoholics Anonymous Recordings.Majestic BeatIt starts with a beat that isn’t just rhythm - it’s presence, an undercurrent that carries you forward like neon reflections rippling in late-night rain. Barry White’s voice moves through it, deep and deliberate, a preacher of desire. But there’s another voice too - hushed, spectral, a whisper in the dark that threads between the percussion, lacing the track with something seductive and elusive. It fuses hip-hop and slow and driving deep house, with pathos and weight.Music For SunsetThis is the sound of endings that feel like beginnings. A jazz thread runs through it - not improvised, but intentional, like a saxophone weaving itself into the breeze. The kick drum keeps things grounded, steady as an incoming tide, while a seductive female voice drifts over it all - sultry, distant, the sound of someone you once knew or only dreamed about. It’s the golden hour stretched into sound, a moment where time slows, where the air is warm, where the sky gives in to the inevitable. A song made for departures, for arrivals, for everything in between.Links:Sunner Soul - Soulset Grooves on Juno DownloadSunner Soul on Soundcloud Read the full article

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Dim Zach Remix)

Billie Jean (Dim Zach Remix) by Dim ZachDim Zach's remixing skills ranges among the best of the best. He's got an unmistakeable sound, yet always manges to break new ground with his eclectic approach. His remix of "Billie Jean" layers synths like liquid neon, draping the groove in rhinestones and electricity. It's bound to turn heads.Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean was a fever dream wrapped in paranoia and groove. Inspired by obsessive female fans who falsely claimed he had fathered their children, Jackson distilled his anxieties into a brooding, bass-driven masterpiece.One woman took it too far, sending him letters, a photo of the supposed child, and even a gun, urging him to end his life if he refused responsibility. The experience haunted him, shaping the song’s chilling refrain: “But the kid is not my son.”Jackson wrote the track in a near-trance while driving his Rolls-Royce down Ventura Freeway, so lost in its rhythm that he didn’t notice his car was on fire. Producer Quincy Jones initially resisted the song - he disliked the title and wanted to cut down the long intro - but Jackson fought for it. He was right.From its hypnotic bassline to the Motown 25 performance where Jackson debuted the moonwalk, Billie Jean became more than just a hit - it became legend. It shattered MTV’s racial barriers, won Grammys, and remains one of the most iconic pop tracks ever recorded.Some songs fade. Billie Jean haunts.Link:Dim Zach's BandcampDim Zach on Discoanon Read the full article

Black Pomade Interview

Black PomadeBlack Pomade is a DJ and producer whose journey spans Milan, Lisbon, and New York, shaping a sound deeply rooted in the NY disco scene and Chicago house pioneers. Founder of the Ruínas collective and Whoopee parties, he blends analog synths, groovy basslines, and syncopated beats into sets that traverse house, disco, and acid, leaving dance floors buzzing with energy.From a pivotal residency at Lisbon’s MusicBox to stages across Europe and Asia, he’s shared the spotlight with legends like Hunee, Nicky Siano, and Josey Rebelle. His studio work includes releases on Last Forever Records, Rollover Milano, and Dig This Way, alongside his vinyl-only Manzo Edits series and a remix featured in Apple TV’s Platonic. With upcoming projects on Whoopee Rec and Wilson Records, Black Pomade continues to bridge eras and continents with a sound that’s as timeless as it is forward-thinking.2025 sees Black Pomade touring. I talked to him about the tour and also got to talk about his acclaimed Manzo Edits series.Hi Christian. Tell us about your current tour. What kind of gigs are you looking most forward to. Are you going all new places? Are you returning to some venues? The tour is happening right now. I recently did a label showcase at Fred Records in Milan and played at Bluesquare, a fantastic new venue curated by Turbojazz. It was a special night with local legend Carloalberto, great energy all around. Next, I’m heading to Lisbon, where I’ll be playing with Trol2000 at Mirari. Rodrigo (Trol2000) owns the incredible PeekabooRecords, a small but mighty record shop in Lisbon that’s been a staple for me.Anything Goes | Rollover Edit Service Vol.7 by Rollover Milano RecordsOn February 1st, I’ll play at Duro De Matar for SuccoMáximo, which is a showcase by my agency, Succo. Then I’m back in New York on February 8th for my debut at Café Balearica a spot I’m really excited about.Speaking of New York, I recently relocated there, so maybe that’s something we could touch on. It’s been such a vibrant and inspiring shift for me musically and personally.Black Pomade With Not So Black LatteYour music spans connections between Milan, Lisbon, and NYC—three cities with rich musical histories. How do these cultural influences shape the vibe of your tracks, especially within the ‘Manzo Edits’ series?”Manzo Edits Vol. 4 by Manzo EditsAs for the influences on the ManzoEdits, they’re definitely rooted in the Italian disco and Italo disco traditions, it’s what I grew up listening to, mostly thanks to my mom playing it while driving or cleaning the house. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure, even though my sound has evolved. You’ll still hear hints of that influence in my tracks.Lisbon, on the other hand, shaped my attitude and vibe. When I left Milan, I was a bit disillusioned with the scene there, it felt dry and posery. Lisbon had this raw, DIY energy at the time, with free parties popping up around old, cranky speakers that somehow had more soul than clubs with fancy setups. That casual, fun atmosphere really stuck with me, and I try to bring that into every set I play.As for NYC, it’s been a huge influence on me, even before I moved there. The birthplace of disco, the Paradise Garage, and the house scene… it’s such an inspiring musical legacy. Now that I’m here, I’m loving the mix of tradition and innovation. Whether it’s hearing legendary names play decades-spanning sets or discovering new scenes bubbling up, there’s always something fresh. Each space, whether it’s a micro club in Manhattan, a warehouse in Bushwick, or a quirky spot in Greenpoint, brings its own flavor, and I’m just starting to soak it all in as a newcomer. It’s a bit overwhelming but also very inspiring.I’ve also got a couple of Manzo releases lined up for this year (vol 5 and 6) alongside a few digital freebies, no firm dates yet, but they’re coming :)Just One Perpetti (Gigi Croccante Edit) by Gigi CroccanteHaving experienced such diverse musical landscapes, from Milan to Lisbon and now NYC, how do you think these influences will shape your future productions and the direction of Manzo Edits?This is a tough question :) Definitely, my time in Italy and Portugal has nudged me heavily towards the disco, fun, and cheeky side. It was also a moment where that kind of sound was very popular. My recent tour to Asia exposed me to a different sound—much more electronic and club-oriented. Then there’s NYC which has a very diverse scene, where you can find anything on the spectrum, from the old-school disco vibe true to the original sound to more edgy, smoky warehouse parties, so I feel like I’m sitting somewhere in the middle.Moving forward, I’ll focus much less on complex melodies and harmonies—I want to be more minimalistic, focusing on the groove, on a bass and drum section that moves your body and hypnotizes your mind. Even the disco-friendly stuff will be more dubby, using fewer and shorter samples and stretching them as far as possible, with minimal exaggeration of builds and drops—something much more subtle, underground, and club-friendly.Moreover, I definitely want to work more on originals. Edits are fun tools to put together, but I feel like I have much more to say when I build something from scratch.Thanks for chatting to Discoholics Anonymous, Christian!Check out more Black Pomade:SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/blackpomade Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/black.pomadeBandcamp: https://blackpomade.bandcamp.com Read the full article

FREE DOWNLOAD: Cameo - Back and Forth (Belohnungszentrum Rework)

Discoholics Anonymous · Cameo - Back and Forth (Belohnungszentrum Remix)The enigmatic rework savant Belohnungszentrum—a name whispered in crate-digging circles like a secret handshake—stunned us with his five electrifying reimaginings on the celebrated Reworks 3. Each track was less a remix and more a resurrection, pulling buried rhythms into new, uncharted spaces. Now, he returns with a fresh and fearless deconstruction of Cameo’s 1987 groove-laden burner, “Back and Forth.”What makes Belohnungszentrum’s work so striking is his restraint. He doesn’t overload, doesn’t drown the essence in excess. Instead, he distills. Here, the original’s neon-lit funk is stripped back to its skeleton—lean, unembellished, yet still pulsing with the same infectious energy that made the track a late-’80s club staple. The bass remains taut, the rhythm section clipped and disciplined, but there’s something new lurking in its DNA—a sharp, modern crunch that tightens the groove without suffocating it.Belohnungszentrum spins the track into his own gravitational pull, bending it into a space where vintage funk and contemporary electronic minimalism don’t just coexist—they feed off each other. The result is both a tribute and a transformation, a rework that honors the past while shaking off its dust. It’s funk in flux, a groove both familiar and freshly rewired, proving once again that Belohnungszentrum isn’t just remixing—he’s reinterpreting the language of rhythm itself.By the time Cameo unleashed Word Up! in 1986, they had already transformed from a sprawling 14-piece funk ensemble into a lean, synth-powered trio, helmed by the ever-eccentric and visionary Larry Blackmon. The band had spent the late ‘70s and early ‘80s shifting gears—from Parliament-Funkadelic-inspired deep grooves to sleek, mechanized rhythms that echoed the future of black music. But Word Up! was something different. It was a manifesto. And tucked inside its pulsating, synthesized walls was “Back and Forth,” a track that captured the push and pull of the era’s sonic evolution.For years, Blackmon had been shaping a sound that balanced raw funk with the technological advancements of the time—drum machines, keyboard-driven basslines, and that signature Blackmon bark. With “Word Up,” Cameo crashed the mainstream, but it was “Back and Forth” that proved they could sustain it. The track rides a deceptively simple groove—slinky, infectious, and yet just odd enough to keep it unpredictable. The call-and-response chorus, paired with Blackmon’s elastic vocal phrasing, channels the kind of communal energy that funk thrived on.Lyrically, “Back and Forth” is about movement—physical, emotional, sonic. It’s the sound of a band navigating an ever-shifting industry, where funk had to evolve or risk extinction. It’s about the rhythms that control us, the push and pull of relationships, of dance floors, of changing times. “Back and forth, side to side,” Blackmon chants, as if directing not just a dance but a cultural transition.Cameo’s shift into the ‘80s wasn’t without casualties. The larger-than-life brass sections were gone, the live-band ethos distilled into something punchier, more digital. But “Back and Forth” proved that the heart of funk wasn’t in its instrumentation—it was in its DNA. It was in the way a bassline could make you move, in the way a single phrase could hypnotize a crowd, in the way Blackmon’s unapologetic weirdness could somehow feel like the coolest thing in the world.As the final synthesizer stabs fade out, “Back and Forth” leaves behind a legacy—not just as a club anthem, but as a document of funk’s evolution. It’s a song about adaptation, about resilience, about keeping the groove alive even when the ground beneath it is shifting. And in that, it remains one of Cameo’s greatest statements.Check out more from Belohnungszentrum:YouTubeBandcamp Read the full article
