Review: Theus Mago is Mexican producer Mateo Gonzalez who has appered on esteemed labels like Kitsune, Discotexas and Turbo Recordings. Here he teams up with Berlin-based DJs and real-life couple Max Brudi (Munich) and Vamparela (Thessaloniki) aka Local Suicide (My Favorite Robot Records/Multi Culti/Roam) on his own co-run Duro label. "Komm Ins Loch" is a woozy and slow burning vocal-led number that joins the dots between EBM techno and nu-disco. The first remix comes from Aera (Permanent Vacation/Innervisions) whose version is respectful enough that it doesn't deviate too much from the original - just injects more dancefloor dynamic. Next up, Colossio (Calypso Records) sees the fellow Mexican go for that Multi Culti/Hippie Dance style indie-dance groove
Review: It is now over to hot Berlin DJ/blogger duo Local Suicide on San Francisco's Roam Recordings, following up some great releases by electro punks Aimes, John Parsley and Zombies In Miami. Teaming up with Mexico City's Alex Sander aka Mijo on the boompty late night sleaze of "Edo Kai Tora" which gets a majorly brooding remix up next by Berlin veteran Sascha Funke. Next up "Ganz Falsch" is a properly neon-lit nu-disco jam, that's bound to get you boogying right into the stratosphere. It too receives a rework: it's over to Moscow's Simple Symmetry of Multi Culti and Correspondant fame, who gets into some rowdy punk-funk antics in the vein of Red Axes or Autarkic.
