Review: Mirlaqi - Dances Of The Red Planet (A Vision Of Panorama Remixes & More) (Star Creature)

When you know Chicago's Green Velvet is playing your track, label boss Tim Zawada just couldn't resist getting the team together to remix Geneva's finest, Mirlaqi's 'Dances Of The Red Planet' on this 12 track release! 

Well, take a big breath, as we start with A Vision Of Panorama Club Mix followed by Club In The Radio Edit, Orbit Dub, Mercury Club Mix, Mad Terra Mix, Jupiter Dub, Acapella, A Vision Of Panorama Instrumental Mix and there's even a French space programme variation a la Danses de la Planète Rouge (TZ Extended 12in Edit).

And to keep us on our francaise toes, the 3 'bonus' tracks, 'Neptune 82', 'Suvenire de Saturne' and 'Un Vélo Pour Venus' (Ed. as a warm up for the Tour de France).

You'll recall A Vision Of Panorama did a remix for Igor Jadranin (see review HERE) on Star Creature and the label's head man Tim Zawada gut feelings on 'Dances Of The Red Planet' were spot on with the original release (see review HERE) and he's at it again on the remix 'Nu-Balearica meets Deep Space Jazz Disco' package.

This is already in demand by DJ ears as descerning and diverse as Pittsburg's Dubmission (Kerem Gokmen), Scotland's Simon Harrison (Basic Soul Show) and Ramgate's Jo Wallace (Ramrock Records).  And not only is Star Creature hot with this release, co-head honcho Tim Zawada's latest radio show on OpenLab, currently on #2, is also worth keeping up to date with; see links below.

Review: Igor Jadranin - Contemporary Outdoors (A Vision Of Panorama & Byron The Aquarius Remixes) (Star Creature)

The landscapers out there will be familiar with the modern concept of bringing the outdoors in, Igor Jadranin's 'Contemporary Outdoors' is all about... dancefloor & party!

The Star Creature label has made a name for itself with sourcing the best in underground electro boogie, disco, soul and funk like Raf Reza's 'Why You Gotta?' (see review HERE), Stimulator Jones' 'Stimulator Tracks' (see review HERE) and now, outta Belgrade, Igor Jadranin!

You wouldn't think the guys at Chicago HQ would have to go so far a-field, but Igor's six tracks are from the 'Heavy In Stereo' leftfield and synth ready for the dancefloor along with 'Massive' and 'Anemoia'.  It's strange that Igor has managed to obtain a raw / vintage sound that's smooth to glide to all at the same time.. 

So who thought it's be a good idea to have remixes by Byron The Aquarius (there's a 'Contemporary Outdoors' Instru mix plus a bonus, 'Midnight') with a 'Contemporary Outdoors' A Vision Of Panorama remix.   

As you might have guessed, A Vision Of Panorama (Ed. Bar?), is synthned out Balearic vibe house fusion but let's go straight to Byron The Aquarius  as this is MASSIVE in the same area as his 'Go Ahead' remix on Brandon Markell Holmes & Toribio hit on Toucan Sounds (see review HERE).  It may be too late for Midnight new year timings but 2025 is going to be fine with this release as this is well up to the standards of Igor's Latin jazz-funk synth monster 'Anemoia' or the Ashley Beedle North Street mix of 'Middle Proves' (love out to Ashley, Jo and all North Street/Ramrock people - see HERE).

You could say, "Another adventurous 12” for Tim Zawada’s Star Creature that blurs the lines between sounds and styles, keeping the Windy City label at the high risk high reward side of your DJ crate" - and you'd be right.
