Music chart from DJ Magic B

44100Hz presents fresh news from DJ Magic B: "right now, everything in my life and work is colorful and interesting - family, hanging out with friends, new and exciting music, parties, tours, performances. So for me, every show is still an 'event', not some kind of regular, 'routine job'. In the near future, I plan to hit the studio with Alexey Meshkov, if Alexey agrees. The urge for creative self-realization has been tormenting me so much lately that I have no strength to fight it anymore. If all goes well, I plan to go to Berlin in February, catch up with friends and celebrate the birthday of a musician, a long-time acquaintance of mine. I'm looking for a club with good conditions to start my own party series. Also, preparing for the New Year. By the way, in December I am supposed to perform at a fashion show of one of my old friends, who is also a designer. I have never participated in such events before, so this experience is very interesting. Here is my hit parade: 1) Joel Mull - the Observer LP - Harthouse. The long-awaited release of the vinyl version of the album of my good Swedish acquaintance, whose music I enjoyed for six months, being a happy owner of a promo-CD. A truly epochal work by one of the best techno producers in Sweden, a bright representative of the 'old school' of Swedish electronic music, who remains relevant to this day. In my opinion, the Harthouse record is the best of those released after the 'reincarnation' of this legendary label. However, it is not quite clear why the label management delayed the release for half a year. Maybe they were afraid that the album might be too good for today's Harthouse music repertoire. Plus, having the opportunity to compare the promo-CD version with the vinyl record, I can say with absolute certainty that the label management's choice in favor of certain tracks included in the vinyl version puzzled me a couple of times. Simply put, a couple of really top-notch, interesting works remained exclusively in CD format, while a couple of tracks that were not as significant due to a more 'mainstream' sound were released on the record. Nonetheless, it is a very solid album where you can encounter 'echoes' of various genres of music - techno, house, trance, minimal, dub, trip-hop, etc. 2) David Labeij - Alpine scenic - Sushitech. A very interesting representative of the 'new wave' of Dutch musicians, whose work I have been following for quite some time and whose works I try not to miss. Pleasant deep-tech-house/techno, slightly minimal in sound, but dense and 'funky', with tight bass lines, slightly 'jerky' rhythms, and melodic elements without excessive 'ear grind', inducing leg movement at a reflex level. This is undoubtedly talented electronic music with a distinct, unique 'face'. Such things are not encountered too often these days. 3) Shinedoe - Sound travelling (ripperton rmx) - 100% Pure. Another acquaintance of mine from the Netherlands, who has visited Moscow several times. A remix of a track from her last year's album, done by Ripperton and released on 100% Pure records in a limited, 'one-sided' edition. A sort of musical 'journey', quite uniquely balancing between house and techno, with unobtrusive dub 'walks', sometimes delightfully amusing and exuding a light lo-fi nostalgia in terms of sound. On one hand, it seems not too complex and everything is more or less 'understandable', but on the other hand, there is something about this track that makes you listen to it again and again. It may not become a dance floor 'hit', but the music is enjoyable."
