Moo Moonster’s debut release ‘Consort of Zeus’ on Ya Hala Ya Hala rocks an Italo disco vibe in some style, convincingly recreating the muscular vibe of the era. In the artist’s words: “Europe is a reminder that there is always light in the midst of the dark. The first part of the track is the hypnosis process to believe in that light at the end of the tunnel. In the second part of the track, you’ll end up in an apotheotic part where the light shines brightly. At the time I started producing this track I was listening to references like Lama’s “Love Is on The Rocks” and Steel Mind’s “Bad Passion” I wanted the synths and pads to be classically cut, to create that current Italo sound in which I feel represented. Claudia’s (Final Grrl) stuttering vocals were the perfect complement to closing the track”.
“Hera was produced in the midst of the Covid crisis, I was already recovered and I felt comfortable sailing again by darker sounds like electro and EBM. The vocals were thought this time from the beginning of the track, with messages for those energy vampires who walk the earth. The choice of language was a nod to one of my favorite bands Liaisons Dangereuses. On this track, I wanted to represent myself in full energy, with a guitar riff, and a melody straight out of an 80s movie where the protagonist is in trouble.”
On the remix duties is leftfield innovator Autarkic, who brought his dub, psychedelic rocky, swampy techno sound to Europa. The producer’s standout work has arrived on labels like Turbo, K7 Records, and Malka Tuti, not to mention his latest highly acclaimed album ‘Term & Conditions’ on DJ Tennis Life and Death.
After well-received releases on labels such as Ombra International, Correspondant, and Man Power’s Me Me Me, Italy’s Amarcord delivers a remix of Europa where he showcases his flair for producing dynamic, synth-driven tracks influenced by the cosmic quirks of the 80s.
