QUASAR Vinyl & CDs

Review: Quasar's Ritmo Love on Skylax Records is packed with passionate dance tracks, blending various genre influences across five tracks that epitomise the trusted French label's classy reputation. Side-1 opens with the title track 'Ritmo Love,' a mid-tempo gem that seamlessly fuses progressive house with Italo house moods, delivering a melodic and energetic experience. 'Easy Flight' follows with late-night sounds, combining techno and melody for a futuristic vibe perfect for after-hours sets. Side-2 kicks off with 'Forever In Memory', characterised by its EBM rhythm and future disco sound, offering high-energy excitement. 'Urkus' ventures into a smoother electroclash territory, presenting a sophisticated mix of high-energy disco and techno, ideal for any night. Each track on Ritmo Love is cohesive and exhilarating. Skylax Records once again proves their knack for curating top-tier dance music.

Review: Quasar returns to Skylax Records with Lost Memories EP, diving even deeper into the world of Italian dream house. This 12" release showcases Quasar's ability to capture the nostalgic essence of the early 90s while infusing it with fresh energy. The opening track, Downhill Drive, pulls listeners into its hypnotic rhythm, setting the tone for the journey ahead. Bailo Fine Estate follows, offering a dreamy, sun-soaked vibe that feels like the last moments of summer. Believe Me brings a more introspective, melodic edge, while Voices From the Sea closes things out with a haunting, ethereal atmosphere.

Review: Fad-free French house label Skylax has always done its own thing, and always to a great reception amongst serious heads. This new one from Quasar is an impossibly perfect mix of physical drums and heart-aching vocal hooks. The pitched up female vocal conveys such bittersweet pain it doesn't matter the words she sings as you're immediately drawn in for the ride. 'For Your Love' is another hugely emotional cut with floating breakbeats and nagging vocals that really get you where it hurts. 'Morning Bells' is a deep house cut with a spritely groove and blissed out vocal, and 'Inside My Love' closes with more heavy analogue drums but no less of a heartfelt sound thanks to the melancholic pads.

Review: Three exceptional low end delights from Parisian artist Quasar right here on Infernal. Each cut as unhurried as the last, there's a latent swagger coded deep into each groove as the Frenchman does his thing... 'Reminiscence Dub' is a gloopy, dubby strut in deep space, 'Space Raiders' hits with a deep bounce that recalls the likes of Roots Manuva's hopeful anthem 'Witness' while 'Molotov' (with Causa) brings the EP to an explosive finale. Unforgettable.
