The Sagan Club collective began its journey about nine years ago, the result of the union of three DJs who came from other collectives and came together to party in Madrid, focusing on Deep-House, Cosmic and Disco, and thus be able to bring some of their favorite DJs of these genres. Their first sessions were at the Siroco Club and they had exceptional guests such as Andy Hart, Craig Bradley, Medlar, Pletnev or Ishmael, among others. With the passage of time two of the members stopped participating and, soon after, Oncina from the Cenital label began to collaborate actively and they started to move to other venues in the capital (Costello, Republik and El Sótano), counting again with some national and international guests such as Kornel Kóvacs, Luis Costa, Daar, Delone, Alvaro Cabana, Jackwasfaster or Promising/Youngster. In December, the collective will be nine years old and for this occasion its members have decided to gather the tracks of some of their guests, with the plan to release four eps of four tracks every three months, in which they will review the history of the collective through the DJs who have participated in their parties over the years.
This first release brings together the talents of three of the guest DJs: Delone, Jackwasfaster and LagreSca, plus Hyman Bass, one of the resident DJs and one of the founders of the collective. The duo LagreSca, formed by writer and DJ Luis Costa and producer Fernando Lagreca, is in charge of opening the EP with a brutal "Mostro", a blast of forceful and dark Techno, whose tension rises throughout the track and traps you in its loop; perfectly designed to burst any dance floor. The producer Jackwasfaster - a regular DJ at Sagan Club parties - delivers us a wonderful "Ora Et Labora", a time bomb destined to take any dancefloor by storm thanks to a perfect mix of Italo, House and Dark Disco, with a hooking melody and a mythical vocal sample. Delone, the boss of the Riverette label, is another usual suspect of the Sagan parties, having played and collaborated as co-organizer in several dates; this track that he gives us shows all his quality, with that emotional IDM with a sound cared to the smallest detail, of precious atmospheres and hypnotic development, which serves to take a breath of air after those two tracks more pisteros. Our resident Hyman Bass is in charge of closing the EP with a House cut with the sights set on the UK, built around a powerful bass that is wrapped by arrangements that bring it closer to Hip-House, and with fantastic vocals of the singer Chulo Soundsystem, a regular of his parties that elevates the cut to another level.
