Lisztomania Records is a Moscow, Russia based label founded by Igor Gonya, sound producer from Elista, DJ/sound producer Alex Moiss from Nizhny Novgorod and Johannes DJ/sound producer from Prague.
Our purpose is releasing of underground deep house/house and lounge sono. Due to the fact that all the participants of the Lizstomania Records live in different parts of Europe, the sound of the label is versatile for different listeners.
The label is fresh and young, it was founded in February 2016. But despite this, it has a list of releases with seasoned and well-known musicians like Soledrifter, Phaze Dee, Fer Ferrari, BiG AL, Deepkeen, Tony S, Matt Prehn, Anthony Mea etc...
Review: Igor Gonya's Lisztomania label can always be relied on to come up with the deep house goods and this latest four-tracker from Brazil's Jack District certainly won't blemish that reputation. We kick off in an almost lounge-y mood with 'Midnight Sight' itself, before moving into funkier and more overtly discofied territory for 'Some Manners', which features some killer stabs. Then comes 'My Service', a more dreamy, late-night affair, before 'By Tonight' plays us out on a slightly more garage-tinged note. It's all good so picking a favourite is hard, but if pushed then 'Some Manners' nudges it for yours truly.
Review: Four classy house cuts here from Katermurr, but than that should be no surprise coming from a producer whose work has appeared on such esteemed labels as the Basement Discos, Plastik People Digital, Gents & Dandy's and House Cookin' as well as Lisztomania. From the title cut's classic-style pianos and Spanish-language female vocal to the early 90s garage-isms of 'Inspiration', via the uplifting vocal house jam that is 'Get Away' and the far more late-night and dreamy 'Reflections', the whole EP is a delight from start to finish, and well worth checking by anyone with a penchant for classic house vibes.
Review: Turkish producer DJ Rendo brings us four slices of the kind of hi-octane filter disco we just don't hear much of these days. The go-to here in terms of instant dancefloor appeal is probably 'Material Funk', which makes great use of a Sylvester snip. Elsewhere, 'C'mon This Way' reaches for a far less obvious vocal sample (from The Belle Stars' 'Sign Of The Times') and is the EP's most full-on cut while '747 Buster' has a guitar line that's vaguely reminiscent of Machine's 'There But For The Grace Of God', but the slightly more subtle and understated title track takes the gold for this writer.
