Review: This time last year Tel Aviv indie dance duo Red Axes made a huge splash with their killer track "Waiting For A Surprise" and now it is time for some equally fun loving remixes. First up Matthew Dear aka Audion steps up to deliver a typically massive rework for the techno crowd, while fellow Israeli homeboy Moscoman follows up and injects some woozy psychedelic rock vibes into it. The man from Vilnius, Manfredas, appears in addition; the Multi Culti tour poster boy going for something on the lo-slung tip and label head honcho Thomas Von Party lends a hand for the boys to remix themselves, for a rather explosive punky/funky conclusion.

Review: Tel Aviv duo Red Axes continue to make a name for themselves after releases on I'm A Cliche and Hivern Discs. This time they're doing their thing for Thomas Von Party's Multi Culti out of Montreal and it's not bad at all! "Waiting For A Surprise" is cheeky indie house with some catchy vocals and a fine groove guaranteed to pack a dancefloor. "The Metal Bender" is on a more cruisy and atmospheric vibe, sounding like something on Kompakt and perfect for the after-hours. On the flip is "Hope" which merges said indie sensibilities of before with a minimal house vibe which is on the more sinister and druggy tip, showcasing their knack for a variety of grooves in their arsenal.

Review: A double dose later and we're welcomed into a Red Axes latest Trip, a multimedia project at large that's giving cross platform to music, film and travel documentations that seeks out far-flung collaborations from the countries they visit. Finding themselves in India for this EP (following excursions through Vietnam and Africa), the epicly charged, psychedelic-tinged and acid-dubbed burner "Pad Yoga Raga" delivers arguably the best track in the series (at 11-minutes long). Keeping it in the mangroves still is "Little Prince (Bangalore Rave version)" with its continued panpipe influences and vocal morphing techniques while the EP finds its clubbiest passages in the percussion-concussion of "Mumbai Syndrom". And for the real deal, Beatles and Ravi Shankar fans alike, all roads lead to "Delhi Little Prince". Please come again!

Review: Red Axes continue to roam the world, stopping off in studios and colleges in far-flung locations to collaborate with local musicians and pass on advice to students. This time they're in Vietnam, offering a second volume in their "Trips" series packed full of exotic, cross-cultural treats. They begin with the spacey dub disco shuffle of "Ho Chi Min", where ear-catching Vietnamese vocals and South East Asian string instruments ride a chunky groove, before stripping things back on the bass-heavy late night exoticism of "Hanoi". "Phu Quok" sees them brilliantly chopping up, mangling and manipulating vocals and snaking solos over a druggy groove, while "Hue" is warm, deep, groovy and almost Balearic in its' deliciously loved-up way.

Review: Tel Aviv's Red Axes duo have been snapped up by !K7 Records, and this is no surprise to us given the quantity - and quality - of material that they have released to date...names like ESP Institute, Dark Entries and Permanent Vacation coming to mind. This new EP focusses on tribal aesthetics from the first moments, with "Abidjan" rolling out a gorgeous groove of poly-rhythms and tropical sounds, with "Addis" heading further East thanks to mystical flutes interlocked with locked percussion groove, and "Musica Electronique" getting down with a much grittier bass attitude. Some ethereal business, right here...

Review: We delve into the undergound sound of Leszno here, as Poland's Exotic Refreshment serve up Chapter 4 in their 'Time Traveler' compilation series - pretty impressive given that Chapter 1 only landed in May! With 13 cuts coming mostly from up-and-coming artists (Badin Brothers, Luca Bacchetii and Red Axes being better-known exceptions), it's quite a wide-ranging selection, but generally speaking we move inexorably from slow-moving, experimental deep house cuts like Ulises's 'Pewunguen' and Dandara's 'Y Bot', to more overtly floor-friendly jams, often - as in the case of Enoo Napa's 'The Eclipse', Shimza's 'All Alone' and Mozaik's 'Clerka' - with a proggy/melodic twist.

Review: Although they've released music on countless labels (they were initially associated with I'm A Cliche, Correspondant and Hivern Discs), many of Red Axes' most potent dancefloor workouts have appeared on Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound imprint. This tidy compilation rounds up the best of their material for the label to date, flitting between certified bangers (the frankly mind-melting, extra-percussive 'Some Lights', the hypnotic and hallucinatory 2018 anthem 'Sipoor', wonky electronic disco workout 'Shabak Shalom', the rushing gorgeousness of 'Rhythm Passage' and the deep, sub-heavy throb of 'Sound Test'), and lesser-celebrated - but no less trippy - B-sides (the bleeping and creepy '20 Min', angular acid weird-out 'Sound Text XoX', and frankly insane 'Oh My Arp').

Review: Following releases for Dark Entries, Phantasy Sound and K7, Red Axes drop this fine, tripped out release for Shall Not Fade. Drawing on ebm and post-punk influences while guided by techno and house music's rhythms, the duo deliver, the squelchy acid of "The Electric". "Next One Is Bill" also contains 303 bleeps, but the arrangement's real focus is on freaked out vocal samples. In contrast, the buzzing tones of "The Bee" centres on a funk bass and live, dusty drums, while "Axes In The Sky" is a soft-focus slice of dreamy disco, led by swirling filters and a driving, insistent groove.

Review: Israeli duo Red Axes has produced some of the most interesting left-of-centre dance music of recent years, delivering essential releases on Hivern Discs, ESP Institute, I'm A Cliche and Correspondant [sic]. Happily, this latest outing - their first for Permanent Vacation - is another must-have EP. With its' cowbell-heavy tribal percussion, drifting flutes, throbbing bassline and exotic marimba melodies, opener "Sun My Sweet Sun" is particularly potent. "Way To Neptune" pushes dreamy, sun-kissed organ melodies to the fore, with hazy vocal harmonies emphasizing the duo's effortlessly Balearic vibe, while "Cockroach" dreamily joins the dots between blazed dub-disco, experimental '80s pop and yearning Californian psychedelia.

Review: Having lent a couple of the label's finest moments previously such as the Sipoor and Sound Test EPs, not to mention a killer self-titled full length last year, esteemed Israeli duo Red Axes return to Phantasy with another bunch of leftfield club tracks on the Some Lights EP. Features the tunnelling, acid house-inspired stomp of the title track, which leads into the transcendental and psychedelic dark disco journey of "Skulls" and proving there's plenty in the duo's sonic repertoire, they close it out on a low slung tip with the deep down and dirty "Professor Grasstov".

Review: Comeme showcases an evolution in the label's history, on the soon to be released volumes of Solidarity Forever. Introducing new artwork, a new logotype and most importantly of all - new music by new artists. The title refers to their motivation as a label and the reason behind their everyday actions - acting as a reminder of why they do what they do. The first volume features label head honcho Matias Aguayo, with the jagged and angular tropicalism of "Selvagem", some deep down and dirty punk-funk from the magnificent pairing of Daniel Maloso X Red Axes on "En La Oscuridad" and Medellin based newcomer Gladkazuka with the sludgy lo-fi techno of "Futuro Caos" providing something a bit more hard hitting.

Review: The Israeli duo of Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi bring us an EP that, like much of their canon, evidences a wide range of influences from across the musical spectrum. It's 'Rhythm Passage' itself that sits most comfortably under the 'disco' banner, with its Italo-esque synths, vocodered male vocal and female "rhythm!" interjections. Elsewhere, the Clangers-tastic 'Oh My Arp' could just as easily be filed under 'techno' or 'progressive house', while '20 Min' drops down into an entrancing tribal groove but also packs plenty of space-y beeps n' bleeps. Put together, the three make for quite a journey - and one hell of an EP!

Review: After a run of releases on Phantasy Sound and Shall Not Fade, psychedelic house specialists Red Axes make their bow on Crosstown Rebels. As the title hints, 'Relax Shiva' is a hallucinatory affair that makes extensive use of exotic Eastern instrumentation and vocals. These are combined with mind-bending TB-303 motifs, a doom-laden bassline and hypnotic beats with predictably trippy and loved-up results. Alongside a bonus instrumental mix, you'll find two top tier remixes: a percussive, bass-heavy and tribal-tinged take by Parisian veteran DJ Gregory (who successfully channels the spirit of his legendary Africanism series) and a chugging, immersive, saucer-eyed revision by Sidartha Siliceo and Heiko Dijker.

Review: If you've seen Comeme selector Lena Willikens in the dance over the past few months, you will probably have come away wondering what one track in particular is. Reminiscent of a train going full pelt to the sound of a limber xylophone player, the impossibly catchy "Pil Sagol" from Red Axes has been a secret weapon for the Salon Des Amateurs resident for some time, and is finally available for public consumption thanks to Hivern Discs. You should know Dori Sadovnik & Niv Arzi from their work for I'm A Cliche, Highlife Edits, Relish and more but the three tracks here might be their best Red Axes material yet. 12 minute lead track "Todum Todum" is stripped back techno at it's trippiest, especially the mid point deviation into Vangelis territory, whilst "Ma & Abra In Ruanda" presents a breezier, looser side to the Red Axes sound. What else to say about "Pil Sagol" other than it's possibly one of the B sides of the year!

Review: One More City follows Red Axe's self-titled long player from 2020. In terms of direction, it sees the duo move away from electronic music to focus on a more guitar-based approach. Of course, they haven't completely departed from their roots, and "Beast", featuring ECHO on vocals is a wonderfully sleazy electroclash-style jam. Elsewhere though, guitars prevail. "Bring It On", with Cole Alexander's vocal tones, is awash with surf-style solos, and "Goodbye Mary" resounds to a frazzled punk guitar that wouldn't sound out of place on late period Jesus & Mary Chain. Best of all though is the post-punk strut of "Kid Caffeine", replete with Clams' nasal drawl.

Review: There's much to admire on this latest 12" excursion from hard-working Israeli duo Red Axes. On the A-side you'll find two brand new collaborations, the most notable of which is "NYX Tape" - a clandestine, mind-altering chunk of minimal wave drug-chug featuring the distinctive spoken word vocals of original no wave star Gina X (she of "No GDM" fame). Chloe Raunet AKA C.A.R lends her similarly stylish spoken word vocals to the EP's other original production, the acid-fired electro filthiness that is "5 Min". On the flipside you'll find two tasty re-edits of tracks from the Dark Entries catalogue: a dub-tinged, dancefloor-friendly take on Solid Moon's spacey "Destination Moon" and a rolling, club-ready tweak of X-Ray Pop's quirky electronic bubbler "La Machine a Rever".

Review: Following successful collaborations with Yuksek and Channel Tres, Hamburger Records regulars Polo & Pan join forces with the mighty Red Axes. The headline attraction is title track 'Mumia', a bass-heavy bounce through mutant Afro-house territory featuring hallucinatory, echo-laden horn sounds, wonky electronic lead lines and an infectious groove. Fittingly, both artists provide personal interpretations too. Polo& Pan successfully re-imagine it as a sun-soaked, effects-laden Balearic bouncer with a jaunty-as-anything, reggae-influenced beat, more horns and sun-splashed melodies, before Red Axes take it into druggy, early morning, acid house-with-added-percussion territory. Also worth a listen is Sunoco sporting bonus cut 'Desperado', a low-slung, mid-tempo, dub disco influenced shuffler that's as positive sounding as they come.

Review: A four-tracker here that will suit those whose dancefloor tastes lean towards the exotic and eclectic side. Red Axes' 'Maztomeret' tops a Moog-y cosmic disco groove with a nursery-like "la la la la la" chorus, Zillas On Acid comes on like 70s Indian sitar funk given a Solomun remix, Tyu flirts with African and Arabic flavours on 'Kongaloka' and then finally there's the oddity that is Manfredas's 'Meshugas', a quirky slice of Balearica with a hint of The Clangers about it. Peaktime tackle for big, glitzy clubs this most definitely is not, but leftfield spinners would do well to check it out.

Review: (Emotional) Especial heralds its 30th release with a killer package from an all-star cast that takes in label regulars and newcomers alike. The vibe starts heated and heavy with modern acid champ Roy Of The Ravers taking a blunt instrument or two to Junior Fairplay's "End Of Love," firing off the kind of bludgeoning b-line and fizzing drums that makes his direct approach to the dancefloor so potent. It's somewhat surprising to see Freeform Five pop up on this 12", but Jamie Paton's remix of "Throwing Stones" sounds utterly natural in the habitat - a brooding, simmering trip shot through with noirish synths. Kris Baha gets busy with Red Axes' "Waiting For A Surprise," twisting out an exotic bubbler perfect for the low tempo chugging crowd, and then Bal5000 wraps things up with the gorgeous electro-disco delights of "Kids".

Review: Thomas Von Party's always reliable Multi Culti imprint presents Moon Faze II featuring a selection of his label's current roster. Tel Aviv's favourite nu-disco/rock crossover act Red Axes are back and boy are we happy about that: they appear here with "Boosha Gdola" a sleazy and slow burning groove with a bleep bassline and soaring synths that create some serious dancefloor movement, guaranteed. Label favourite, Australia's Dreems also appears joining up with Peret Mako for a sleek acidified remix of Zsou's "Admiral Byrd". Label head honcho Von Party himself steps up to it on the exotic and esoteric slow-mo groove of "Cobra Kush" featuring Naduve. Finally DJ Ground offers up the dreamy and mesmerising "Dolmenzoo" with its hazy, African inspired journey that will appeal to Crosstown Rebels fans equally.

Review: As minimal house continues to hit the mainstream, there's no denying the likes of Rockstar Games and Ibiza hot house CircoLoco have something to do with it. Combining to create CircoLoco Records, it continues ist summer run of releases with a new various artist EP in Dreamin' Violet - featuring future classics from Luciano, Red Axes, Carl Craig, Butch and Margaret Dygas! With Luciano going deep, stripped back and minimal in "Mantra For Lizzie", Red Axes sends in a frenetic number of drum machine and synth laden mayhem. Carl Craig delivers a bass heavy, beat free and epic synth number "Forever Free", with Butch throwing down a stuttered rave vibe in the broken beat, drum and bass centric "Raindrops". With a slight Detroit mode surfacing too in Margaret Dygas percussive "Wishing Well", she keeps it slightly abstract to complete a package that presses all the right buttons - peak time or after hours.

Review: Taken from Rebolledo's excellent mix CD of the same name, this sampler works its way through a dizzying array of sounds over the space of just three tracks. Rebolledo's "Windsurf, Sunburn & Dollar (Raw Version)" is a sleazy, teased out disco groove which sounds like a druggy take on Bear Funk's back catalogue. Next up is Slove's "Flash (Pachanga Boys' Hippie Dance)", where whooshing, atmospheric sounds complement a spacey techno groove and sleazy acid lines. Neither can compare to the madness of Rebolledo's remix of Red Axes' "Caminho de Dreyfus". Over a heavy, pulsing bass Rebolledo cuts up freakish vocals and chopped to shreds percussion that have echoes of glitch house at its most experimental.
