Premiere: Belgian Duo Filterheadz Debut on Mavic Music With “Infinite” EP

/in , , /by

The legendary duo The Filterheadz from Belgium debut on Mavic Music with two powerhouse tracks extensively road-tested and guaranteed for the dance floor.

The lead track “Infinite” starts with a powerful rolling baseline, kick and sneaky distorted stabs and a timeless vocal before breaking down into a sensuous pad that sits underneath hooveresqe like leads, screaming rides and effects that carry the music to the finish line.

“Locomotive” on the flip side starts off with drips of acid and stabs creating maximum intensity from the first few bars. The track infectiously weaves in and out between masterfully tuned effects and complex percussive grooves resulting in any acid lovers dream track.

Track Listing:

1. Filterheadz – “Infinite”

2. Filterheadz – “Locomotive”

Filterheadz’s Infinite EP is out now on Mavic Music and available on Beatport HERE

/in , , , , /by

PLAYdifferently MODEL 1 ambassador Fabio Florido joins the Kuukou family bringing his unique flair that has captivated crowds around the world and has graced labels such as Richie Hawtin’s Minus and Plus8, among others.

“Bound: kicks off with a rumbling bassline, accented by bulky drums that take center stage. The track glides between percussive and melodic sections with ease, keeping spirits high throughout the changes.

Label head Simina Grigoriu offers an acid-heavy rendition of the track, building a steady lead through compelling pads and tension-ridden sequences.

On a lighter, yet still dancefloor-ready note, “Twilight” perches along atypical sound bites reminiscent of a tropical aviary on a backdrop of concrete-heavy kick drums and a topsy-turvy bassline.

To celebrate the release, we have asked Fabio and Simina to do a different kind of interview than usual. Instead of us asking them questions, we had them interview one another. Here is what they had to say:
