ΙΠΤΑΜΕΝΟΣ ΔΙΣΚΟΣ

Roman producer Rodion makes his critically acclaimed ‚Medusa‘ EP available online for the first time since it’s initial release in 2014. The classically trained pianist dismisses the romantic spaceman suit for a tighter and much darker release. Just forget the refined and the sweet: this is basically creepy afterhours music, a trip too far gone through obscure and scary galaxies outside the Solar system.

The sound is 100% analog, druggy, mechanical uptempo funk: rumbling basslines, sheer and hallucinogenic synths on top of a seriously raw beat. This time Rodion’s voyage is a no-way-back one.

On the remix duty, there is the legendary Argentinian duo DJs Pareja and three special dub mixes by Alien Alien, Rodion’s own collaborative project with Hugo Sanchez from Front De Cadeaux. Strong, rude, the title track takes you to an unpredictable cruising on Planet Medusa. Call it nasty house, or electro macho, this is definitely the sound of a snake-haired nightmare.

To complete the EP, we have Solenoid, one of the wildest Rodion numbers ever: a rapsody in gold where out-of-this-world melodies and geometric old-school grooves melt in a bench chemistry orgy.
