Hot Pony, Vexkiddy and Antoni Maiovvi’s bi-monthly gathering at Sameheads, is arguably one of Berlin’s best-kept secrets. Their spin-off label, Royal Athlete – which also explores their Italo-disco, synth-wave and synth-boogie influences – seems to be similarly under-appreciated, despite a strong track record. There’s certainly much to admire on this latest multi-artist E.P, from the elastic freestyle revivalism of Aux Tha Masterfader’s brilliant “Let’s Dance To The Beat”, and The Real Kent Clark’s glistening synth-pop bubbler “Make It Right”, to the chugging, spacey and druggy shuffle of Dilemma’s “Bocca Nights”. Chaconna’s sparkling instrumental synth-pop opener, “Dreamers” is our pick of a strong bunch.
