Home of retro-infused Modern Disco cuts, the Spanish label Astrolead Recordings has been amassing a second to none catalogue when it comes to vintage-synth-based music. Its curator, prolific Ilya Santana (SXDNS072), makes an impeccable job featuring not only his own massive output, either flying solo or in collaboration with special guests, but also the originals and remixes by other artists of the genre. For the forthcoming episode of his imprint, Master Santana partners with singer Sandry Sanz and brings to life the single “Pain Embracer”, a beautiful and melodic neon-lit theme handed over in four different versions: Vocal, vocoder, instrumental, and an essential interpretation by Seville-based producer Jason Core.

Premiered here, the main Vocal Mix seems to transport us to the universe of a Sic-Fi 80s movie whose plot depicts a love story full of deception, pain, and resilience. Exquisite synth layers, dazzling leads, a throbbing bassline, and Sandry’s mesmerizing vocals set the mood of the narrative.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label.
