Echoing in many ways the wave of fellow European acts such as Acid Arab, Mehmet Aslan and Baris K who mix all kinds of eastern music with modern sounds, De Los Miedos and Östra Discos are slowly but surely rising in the underground electronic scene.

With three decades of music-making in the rearview mirror, Detroit minimal techno trailblazer Robert Hood has assembled a voluminous body of work. But like any true artist, Hood is interested in pushing forward, not looking back. So while his long-established M-Plant label spent last year reissuing some of the highlights from his past, Hood has got a fierce flurry of activity on the way over the coming months.
For one thing, Hood will be a keynote speaker at this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event, which runs from Oct 14-18, 2015. He’ll be participating in two separate sessions there — one where he’ll talk about what fuels his creative spirit, and another in which he’ll be joined by the people who help make it all happen behind the scenes (managers, agents, etc.), offering a valuable peek behind the curtain. But in advance of those appearances, Hood will also be storming stages across the globe on a 26-date summer tour that will bring his brand of techno everywhere from Israel to Ibiza.

Petar Dundov Set to Release New EP on Music Man Records.
Itʼs been almost two years since Music Man released Petar Dundov‘s third album Sailing Off The Grid on CD and limited 4LP. Heʼs been so busy touring and remixing that after last yearʼs single “Origins/Rise”, the two tracks on this latest EP are only the first two new Dundov tracks since the album. Laced with Petar’s melodic signature sound, his latest release is a must-have for all fans out there.
Ahead of the EP’s release on July 6, XLR8R spoke with Dundov about his lengthy hiatus and how touring feeds his creativity. Snippets of his latest EP are available to stream below. Check out our interview here.
