Shcuro - Ignis Fatuus EP (CM003)
Release date: May 20th, 2013
Label: Circus Maximus
Cat. Number: CM003
Format: Digital

Tracklist:
01. Shcuro - Ignis Fatuus
02. Shcuro - Ignis Fatuus (Headbirds Remix)
03. Shcuro - Ignis Fatuus (Volatil Remix)
04. Shcuro - Chromohidrosis
05. Shcuro - Chromohidrosis (Daino Remix)

SHCURO BRINGS US A SOULFUL TECHNO-BASS EP
In the hills of Linda-a-Velha where Shcuro inhabits, you have a tremendous view of the entire city of Lisbon and the south-side.

We can only imagine that was the source of inspiration for Shcuro to create Ignis Fatuus, an amazing track that simultaneously summon the futuristic detroit of the 90s and the current deep dubstep sound.

On the remix duties for the title track we have two Barcelona heroes: Headbirds and Volatil. Headbirds turns the track into a 4x4 slow motion flight over sunny Spain, while on the other hand Volatil creates a tense landcaspe with a broken swing beat and a dark bassline.

Then comes Chromohidrosis with broken dubby techno vibes that suddenly turn into groove, always with a cloudy edge hovering above. At last we have the remix that comes by the hand of Daino, that further dramatizes the original into a more steady 4x4 version.

Audiopath - King of Kings EP (CM002) OUT NOW!

info@circusmaximusmusic.com (Circus Maximus) — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:16:00 GMT

Audiopath - King of Kings EP (CM002)

Release date: February 18th, 2013
Label: Circus Maximus
Cat. Number: CM002
Format: Digital

Tracklist:
01. Audiopath - King of Kings
02. Audiopath - King of Kings (Infestus Remix)
03. Audiopath - King of Kings (Trikk Remix)
04. Audiopath - Candidate for Heaven
05. Audiopath - Candidate for Heaven (Madji'k Remix)

HERE'S ONE FOR THE HOUSE-HEADS
The Lisbon and Oporto based collective Circus Maximus is back with a new jam that's going to put House heads salivating. We present you Audiopath, a new name, but not a newcomer.

After years spent producing and playing Techno as Luxer (and even having one of his tunes being played by none other than Richie Hawtin himself!) he now switches to a more soulful sound with a new name. Audiopath brings us two originals backed by three different remixers:

First up we have King of Kings, a funky tribute to “The King of Style”, the graffiti legend Kase.
It's a wild stylish number with punchy electric piano stabs and a thunderous sub bass-line that keeps the groove simple, yet effective!

On the remix duties we have Circus Maximus head Infestus, bringing us a Speed-Garage
influenced take on the original. Stompy kicks, reecey bass, cut up stabs and ferocious tempo!
Somewhere between London, New York, and of course Setúbal in after-hours mode.

Up next there's Trikk, the bass music prodigy, originally from Oporto and now residing in London. His version takes the original into slow motion mode, including a melodic TB-303 riff and a broken beat. Perfect for warming up the floor!

Then we have the second original, Candidate for Heaven. A deep house cut with black gospel shouts and soulful chord progessions, Chicago style, but still packing enough punch for the peak time! This one is already a classic.

The last track is a Candidate for Heaven remix by the hands of the legendary French producer,
Madji'k, flipping the original idea into a balearic synth-pop cut with quasi-ravey stabs. Yes, now it feels complete.

From Oporto to New York, then to Chicago and London, ending in Paris. This one has something for everyone!

01. Infestus - Praia City Ravers

LISBON-BASED ARTIST COLLECTIVE CIRCUS MAXIMUS PREMIERES ITS DEBUT RELEASE

After setting the tone for Lisbon's resurgence on the globalized electronic music stage with Infestus' debut “Tigre EP” (still available for free download), this up and coming artist collective further establishes itself as a force to be reckoned with as it steps up its game to become a full fledged digital label. "The Circus Maximus EP" brings together three tracks from the imprint's founders and earliest supporters, which includes all new original tracks by label-head and synth wizard Infestus, co-founder and tropical techno advocate Rastronaut and engineering prodigy Daino. From the ravey stabs of 'Praia City Ravers' to rolling percussive workout of 'Natty' and the the lush and hypnotic chords of 'HapTic', the boys have banded together to create a diverse and stimulating EP that showcases the many different sides of the new Portuguese electronic music scene, all in one record.

First up we have 'Praia City Ravers', a physical and pumping ravey workout by RBMA alumni and Lisbon underground rising star Infestus, the founder of the label and brains of the operation, who masterfully blends hardcore aesthetics with a firm techno pulse, thick driving bassline and acid-tinged stabs. Lisbon rap fans will be in for a treat as the young producer warps a Nigga Poison sample into the mix, the undisputed kings of Cape-Verdian rap, further demonstrating the Lusophone influences that shine through his work. Expect a lot of hands in the air when you hear this one being dropped on an unsuspecting crowd.

Next up we have 'Natty' by Rastronaut, a personal take on dark and moody techno with a dubby twist from the eclectic Portuguese producer, fusing pumping bass and relentless kickdrums with reverb-filled stabs straight out of a smoky 70's Jamaican studio. Energetic and soothing at the same time, this track takes the EP into gloomier territories, while still maintaining that tropical aroma that seems to be the common element between all the wonderfully diverse music being made in Lisbon right now.

Last but not least we have Daino's track 'HapTic', a jazzy funk-tinged and garage-influenced number, a light-hearted melodic workout that's sure to bring smiles to dancers as it draws parallels to some of Lone's early work. Lush rishing chords and colorful melody swirls are held into place by a dynamic beat, which brings all these elements together to create a very soulful, musical and unique approach to club music. This is also the Lisbon producer's debut release, so expect many great things in the future as he sets the bar really high for himself and everyone else with this dreamy number.

This eclectic trio is starting to make waves on their hometown through a constant output of new material and well-received live performances, which is sure to grow as they begin a new chapter that will further establish them as major contributors to the new Lisbon underground electronic music scene. Do not miss out on Lisbon's newest label Circus Maximus as Infestus, Rastronaut and Daino get ready to take over crowds with their diverse, warm and surprising view of bass-heavy club music.

THE INFAMOUS NET RELEASE BY INFESTUS GETS REISSUED

Sometimes you must look into the past to see the future. Circus Maximus is now a digital label, and to announce this bold new step for our collective, we chose to repackage and revisit an old classic. Clearly “Tigre EP” by Infestus stood the test of time, since It still sounds as fresh as when it was originally posted online in early 2010.

It’s a journey of very personal tracks written by Infestus during his late teen years, between 2006 and 2009, and marked the end of a creative cycle in his production. All of the tracks are deeply influenced by UK Sound System culture, but the sound pallette is diverse and cartoonish, as if each track was hand-drawn in crayon, covering an almost bi-polar emotional espectrum: Sweet and euphoric at times, cloudy and introspective at others.

Included in this reissue there are two previously unreleased out-takes, “Alfa Pendular” and “Telheiras”. Emotionally and chronologically the inclusion of these two tracks made perfect sense, and it seems now that it would be a mistake not to include them in this revised edition.

Once again it’s our pleasure to present you the new and improved “Tigre EP” by Infestus!

Infestus - Tigre EP (CM000) by Circus Maximus

Circus Maximus, the label!

info@circusmaximusmusic.com (Circus Maximus) — Sun, 1 Jul 2012 23:31:00 +0100

It's been two and a half years since Circus Maximus was born. The whole project came about out of necessity. The artist collective already existed, and the idea was to join forces and spread the word of our work collectively.

Back in 2010, we even did a couple of free netlabel releases, including the infamous "Tigre EP" by Infestus.

However, the project went in a different direction, working mainly as an online platform of promotion for our artist roster: Infestus, Rastronaut, Nave Mãe and Daino. Along the way we joined forces with Tokyo'Clock, that have been taking very good care of our image.

The moment has come to take a new step forward. Circus Maximus is about to launch it's label.

More information soon.
