After his System EP that he produced with I-Kie Nicola Gala returns to Plastic City and with Blueberry he brings back his minimal styled House Sound to the german label with a fine tradition concerning electronical House. After playing on spots around the world like Stockholm, Cologne, Jakarta, Tokyo, Tel Aviv or Kiev the greek artist founded his own digital label Escada in 2006. With his gripping Basslines and melodical flights he thrills on labels like Deep Records, Intrinsic, Fokused, Sprout Music, Presinct, Renaissance, Lost Language, Audio Therapy and other for ten years. So why should it be different on Plastic City!? Blueberry ist an emotional and warm housetrack that pushes the dancefloor with it’s catchy bassline, lightweight melodic synths and strong chords to the max. Stryke’s Deep Blue Dub attacks the dancefloor with a more minimal arrangement but with the right feeling for musical accents. He takes out the central elements of the original and creates his own interpretation, searching the essence of Blueberry. With Redberry Gala gives us the erotic flavour we don’t want to miss in House Music. So keep an eye for this upcoming artist! Promo Downloadlink: plax065.

Gorge aka Pit Waldmann released his tracks and mixes on labels like Mylo, CNR, Amused, Starlet and other. With Nick Curly he founded his own label 8Bit. Furthermore you can hear him together with Greg Silver in the House Edition Radio Show on Sunshine Live every saturday as well as in the new Plastic City Radio Show on Radio Ibiza Sonica every wednesday 22 - 23pm. Using different pseudonynms he produces electronic music in more than one category. Hearing the new single from Gorge it seems he slices this three tracks to big pieces of love and everybody gets one of it. The clear and simple arrangements create beautiful appearances of soft and light energy in mind, body and soul. This three tracks will take you on a ride through your inside and you will skim over the waves we promise. Gorge dives into hypnotizing organ chords that are sorting this weird whipping stabs. He creates a room that is filled with little species building swarms, moving homogeneously from one point to the next like they would be steered by a power we can’t see but explore and experience. The combination between rhythmic synths and dramatically melodic strings pushes the tracks straight to the point of no return while building tight textures. So dance and go deeper and deeper… Promo Downloadlink: plax066.

DKMA presents Andrastea - Rhino Horn (mp3 EP)
Dana Kelley’s sound and music has made a major impact on the House scene since 1995. Growing up in Roxbury Massachusetts, in a single parent household, Dana’s musical influence started with his mother. Ophelia played numerous R&B hits that are considered classics by today’s house folk. George Benson, MFSB, O’Jays, and Herbie Hancock. Ophelia enrolled her children into the Elma Lewis School of Performing Arts, where he excelled as a classical violinist, selected as a Suzuki violinist, was chosen with 5 other students to play for Chinese embassy. Music is not the only passion, art as a whole was exposed to Dana. At the age of 16, Dana demonstrated a flair for fashion illustration, and won a 2 year scholarship to the Museum School of Fine Arts. In 1994, Dana approached DJ Bruno at Boston Beat with a cheesy demo of tracks he was working on. Bruno called Dana and told him to stop sitting on the music, and recommended house labels to send a demo to. Kult, Strictly Rhythm and Eightball received demos, and 3 days later Gladys Pizzarro called with an offer Dana could not refuse. “Krimp” was born, a name derived from the locks Dana cut the day before to look for work in Boston. This was the beginning of something truly special. Dana played also a part in the UK revolution called Speed Garage. A bassline from “In the Spirit” was sampled numerous times and was released on Strictly Rhythm as “Praxis featuring Kathy Brown - Turn Me Out”. Beside a lot of releases on labels like Strictly Rhythm, Contrast Records, 4th Floor Recordings, Chug Recordings and Subliminal Records he also released on Plastic City under the name “DKMA presents Andrastea”. Now Dana is back with his fresh new EP “Rhino Horn”.

Available Format: mp3.
