It’s easy to fall for a nostalgic approach to dance music, to cuddle oneself in the warm analogue sounds of late 1980’s dance productions – especially with the heavy ongoing reissue trend going on. However, we have to stay focus: look out for contemporary sounds and means of production. Parisian producer Nathan Melja makes his debut on Antinote with an idiosyncratic three-tracker and our guess is that it sounds contemporary.<\/p>\n
On the A-side: one tune: Deadrums. Both the name and the music speak for themselves. It’s hard, it’s efficient and at the same time, there’s quite a lot going on, tiny bumps on the straightforward road to techno ecstasy. Nevertheless, Deadrums is a precise piece of machinery, an atmospheric banger, yes, but with deadly jaws made out of tempered steel to tear a dancefloor apart, piece-by-piece. On the B-side, Angels stands out as a perfect example of a song that has many dancefloor qualities but, like some of DJ Sprinkles’ seminal recordings, turns out to be more of a late-night tale of urban wanderings on wet pavements (think Taxi Driver and its soundtrack by Bernard Hermann). Contemplative, melancholic and – let’s say it – sad, its nagging melody can bring a little tear to the eyes of the most sensitive ones. Rounding up the 12′ is Candy, a tune under the influence of bad boys like DJ Overdose, or Ghettotech legend DJ Assault – so that you can dry your tears.<\/p>\n
It’s Nathan Melja’s first release on Antinote, but he’s definitely not a newcomer. He’s been around since Antinote exists, and we’re glad to finally collaborate with him.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":290981,"template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[12538,8018],"product_tag":[32264,40162],"giftcard-category":[],"musicartist":[21736],"musiclabel":[4910],"musicstyle":[39731,37901,37914,37955],"distributormusic":[31210],"musicyear":[39542],"musiccountry":[39485],"weekmusic":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-290984","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-arrivals","7":"product_cat-back-in-stock","8":"product_tag-discogs","9":"product_tag-wavo-v2","10":"musicartist-nathan-melja","11":"musiclabel-antinote","12":"musicstyle-bassline","13":"musicstyle-breaks","14":"musicstyle-deep-house","15":"musicstyle-house","16":"distributormusic-antinote","17":"musicyear-39542","18":"musiccountry-france","20":"first","21":"instock","22":"featured","23":"taxable","24":"shipping-taxable","25":"purchasable","26":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/290984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=290984"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=290984"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=290984"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=290984"},{"taxonomy":"musicartist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist?post=290984"},{"taxonomy":"musiclabel","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiclabel?post=290984"},{"taxonomy":"musicstyle","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicstyle?post=290984"},{"taxonomy":"distributormusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/distributormusic?post=290984"},{"taxonomy":"musicyear","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicyear?post=290984"},{"taxonomy":"musiccountry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiccountry?post=290984"},{"taxonomy":"weekmusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekmusic?post=290984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
