AirDrop Records are wetting their knickers as they are dying to officially announce their next digital release! Guess by who? Fase Miusic Sender of course, accompanied by fellow Buenos Aires producer Sr. Replicante who gets into the Miusic spirit and knocks us backwards with his rump-shaking remix!

Fase Miusic Sender, the Buenos Aires audio-visual quadruplet who recently supplied a massive mix accompanied by a stunning animated video clip exclusively produced for AirPod, outgun their successful track “Missing Keyframes” (released on AirDrop’s recent “Extraction” compilation) by delivering a follow-up that’s clearly heading towards “Disaster”!

Welcome to the wicked world of Fase where music, painting, street art and motion graphics all warp into one! The collective, founded in 2000, is consisting of the four artists Gustavo Gagliardo, Leandro Waisbord, Pedro Perelman and Martin Tibabuzo, who live and operate in Buenos Aires and Germany.

Simultaneously working on various audio-visual DJ/Production-VJ-projects, the Fases produce multi-discipline shows that abduct the audience, taking them straight into their very own Mundo where Detroit’s musical underground and Jean-Michel Basquiat’s paintings are cross-bred references which helped to shape their very own vision of things.

“Veo Mi Terraza” is a genius strike: Executed and performed by Gustavo and Pedro, the two musical brain children that are the driving forces of Fase Miusic Sender, this deep and eerie exploration of sound is pure experimentation aimed at the floor. The groove is the driving force: Using powerful kicks and basses coming right out of the lowest stratospheres of the planet, they create a dark robotic atmosphere and fill it with strange climatic micro tech sounds consisting of aquatic planes, metallic clicks, slippy glitches and video-gaming bleeps (also key elements of their gripping live set).

Employing graphic language, Fase keeps fantasy, synthesis, abstraction and powerful colors as main focus, which can be felt in “Lejano Oeste” which paints a raw and seductive picture of something that cannot quite be grasped although it’s compelling enough to move any floor.

Sr. Replicante, a true Buenos Aires original whose deep love for all Detroit and wonky has had great influence on the Argentinean youth, does a great job bending the original into a the wobbly “Veo Mi T-RAW-ZA” multi-layered, tricky affair that sounds neither easy nor going. Demanding total attention, it slowly hi-jacks the senses and takes over the body. Resistance is futile!

Building their own universe consisting of organically evolving structures, Fase Miusic Sender is readily adapting to the evolution of music. Music that’s creating visuals, visuals creating music… The circle is complete.

FASE MIUSIC SENDER - DISASTER (LIVE SET)

This is a very special episode, paying honour to Fase Miusic Sender, the Buenos Aires audio-visual quatuor. For this AirPod N°7, we are very happy to present you with two parts, a visual Part 1 with the video clip for Fase’s Missing Keyframes, which appears on our Extraction compilation. This video was EXCLUSIVELY MADE FOR AIRPOD!!! And an audio Part 2 with Fase’s new live set: Disaster! So put all of this amazing content on your iPod and enjoy the whole world of Fase! This is without mentionning that we are dying to officially announce our next digital release! Guess who?? Fase M.S of course, accompanied by a Sr. Replicante remix! How amazing is that… you will tell us very soon!!

Behind Fase are: Gustavo Gagliardo, Leandro Waisbord, Pedro Perelman and Martin Tibabuzo. Fase is a collective founded in the year 2000, that is active in Buenos Aires and works on both end of the audio-visual spectrum. From musical production to visual animation and street-art to VJing, Fase finalizes all-inclusive projects and shows, which create a truly complete realm, allowing it to fully expressing their vision. On the musical side, even if experimentation surrounds a Techno essence, some sounds have been surviving since the very foundation of Fase: Aquatic sounds, clicks and glitches, video-gaming bleeps. Fase keeps the groove as main purpose, using kicks and basses to create melodies coming right from the under layers of the earth, factory sounds and darkness. Detroit Underground and Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work can stand as referents to the universe they perpetually share. Fase Miusic Sender plans its live sets to build climates and organically evolving structures. The video sequencing that comes to complete Fase’s world, is solely dependent of, and exclusively adapting to the evolution of the music. Exploring the graphic language, Fase keeps fantasy, synthesis, abstraction and powerful colors as main visual focus. Music expressing visuals, visuals expressing music… The circle is now complete.

BUY DIGITAL | FEEDBACK

I met Mariano (a.k.a Minimaril) a little less than a year ago. When he first told me he was 19, I thought he was lying. I mean with his height and long hair, he definitely looks way older! But it is once you get to know him that you can really feel the amazing vibes that radiates from him. I still wonder how it is possible for such a nice person to exist in the often ego-dominated Techno realm. Freshness!

Of Venezuelean origin, Mariano has been living all his life in Buenos Aires and DJing for 5 years now. He started very young, learning directly on the field, since he never even owned turntables, and quickly made his way to the most important booths of the Argentine capital!

This unique energy and natural understanding of music imprints on his productions. Minimaril’s beats are bright sharp, groovy and will always make you bounce. He sends me a new track every other day, all of them more powerful than the last one. With such a clear vision, his music really seems to be animated by a higher force!

His debut track, Too Young to be Famous, on our AirDrop presents Extraction, is the best-seller out of all tracks on the compilation!

The Samba EP unites three of Minimaril’s original productions. He explores two different dimensions of the project, first, with a super deep synth line-driven Part 1, and then with a massively rolling Part 2. The ode to percussions started by Samba is rounded with Black Hole Hooked, which features hypnotic sax riffs, dark voices and huge funk.

To bring the EP to another level, we had our Special Boston Task Force, Soulclap, to remix Samba 1 & 2. I was persuaded, like most of you I am sure (otherwise go back to school), that 1 + 2 = 3, but the united powers of Bean Town’s Super Soulclap and B.A’s Minimaril defy mathematics. Don’t even doubt it, just buy it & listen to it!

The release is exclusively available on Juno with a special price for this week!

O and I almost forgot, Minimaril has a 12 inch coming soon on AirDrop and a few other goodies too…
Woooopp

AirDrop released its new compilation. It’s called EXTRACTION and unites 8 amazing Argentine talents that we respect a lot. Some of them are already out there in the world’s electronic scene, but most are still young and growing. EXTRACTION is a tribute to their different visions of electronic music, and represents AirDrop’s first aim, that is giving voice to the youthful and diverse talents.

All tracks were exclusively composed for the compilation. EXTRACTION opens with an other-worldly ambient track by our friend No Hay Pitch, and follows with minimal bangers and deep-techno hypnotizers by Fase Miusic Sender, Dilo, Peter Pan Project, Nexus DJ & Mon, McFly without forgetting our young favourite Minimaril! EXTRACTION closes on an amazing production by Acampante.

We have been distributing to a lucky few, a special edition of EXTRACTION limited to 250 copies, on the occasion of the Winter Music Conference two weeks back. For those of you who weren’t lucky enough to see one drop from the sky: the compilation is coming out tomorrow on Beatport for your personal pleasure.

Click play on the viddy below and see how Missing Keyframes, Fase Miusic Sender’s EXTRACTION tune, rocked Miami’s Townhouse Rooftop when Jamie Jones played it as his set’s closing track, before leaving the controls to Shonky.

The moment has finally arrived when AirDrop Records officially comes to existence with its first release AD 001 aka Giraffe by Soul Clap, you must know them by now. The release will be on 10 inch vinyl- Yeah, that’s right! And if that’s not enough, the vinyl is yellow with a nice little label design (see for yourselves below).

Now to put the cherry on top, we got Franco Cinelli to remix the living day out of the original (A side) creating a dark masterpiece to grace the B side of our first vinyl.

Here is a close look on Side B:

If you weren’t lucky enough to get your hands on one and since they are all gone around the world, get it on Beatport and read our interview with Beatportal at the Winter Music Conference.

AirDrop Records has just orchestrated its first release! We are big fans of the Italian indie rock band, Thank You For The Drum Machine. Their music is very upbeat and has clear electronic influences. The EP that goes by the band’s name is their first and is sure not to be their last. They are very in demand in Italy where they are currently touring and are eager to travel the world pleasuring our ears. Here is a song off their album, already available on the iTunes Store, as well as on Amazon, Myspace and Amiestreet. CD’s and Special Vinyl Edition to follow shortly.
