Veselinov: Cyberboy [pmgrec 210] 2023

This incredibly authentic album took two years in the making and is mainly recorded upon different live performances. Inspired by his childhood initiation in electronic music, Zoran Veselinov puts together a free flow of contagious beats and lovely melodies. CYBERBOY will remind you of everything you ever heard in the last several decades, like for instance Vangelis, Dead Can Dance, Orbital, Prodigy, Deep Forest, Depeche Mode, Underworld and many many more. Put that under a neon light and you’ll get this boys soul. It’s electronic too.
Veselinov is basically one of the rare Macedonian dj/producers that puts everything in to his music and actually performs it live. One of the many reasons we love him and we put this music out to you, so you can have your own journey through his electronic pathways.

    Damir Puh: Divergence [pmgrec 206] 2022

    Well ladies and gentlemen, to say the least, this here is quite an adventure, but first of all, to us. Rarely we go down this metallic, guitar hero roads. Exactly THAT is on top of some super fine industrial beat on this release. The background story is actually very humane. We’ve been approached by this very fine young man, extremely talented as you can notice and being the towering Macedonian label, we only did our job: PUTTING OUT SOME FRSH MKD MUSIC FOR THE WORLD TO NOTICE. That’s what we do fawlks. So, notice: this guy did this all by himself!

    ХИТОВИ ПЕСНИ НЕДОВОЛНО ЛЕСНИ. ПОРАКИ БЕСНИ, НАШИВЕ ПЕСНИ.
    РЕЧ И СТАВА И УБАВА ГЛАВА. СОНОТ НА ЈАВЕ: ОД МУГРИ БЕЛИ, ДЕНОВИ ЦЕЛИ.
    СПОКОЈНИ НОЌИ ВО КРЕВЕТОТ СВОЈ. РАСПЕАНА МИСЛА: ВО БОЈ, ВО БОЈ!
    ОВОЈ ГРАД Е НАШ. НЕГОВА СМЕ ВРЕВА. МИРИСОТ НА ТРЕВА И СÉ ШТО НЕ КРЕВА.
    ОД ЗБОР ДО ГЛАС, ТАНЦУВАЈ СО НАС. ОВДЕ НЕ СИ САМ И ЗНАЈ: НЕМА КРАЈ.

    Lufthansa: Davor [pmgrec 203] 2022

    This is an incredible new album by Lufthansa. They’re so fucking young, but they carry all the life’s burden good and bad, as well as the whole rock’n’roll music history along with it. It’s all on their shoulders. Lufthansa quickly became the leading band of the new Skopje generation, which just exploded in our faces with their awesome youth energy and freshness and an unexpected niceness. There are six of them and they all have bright ideas and they can play different every day. This sounds surprisingly mature for 22 year olds, but you have to be somehow mature to cope with today and even be good into it. And they’re good boys. You should get this and you should listen to it and you should love it. There’s no other way.

    Lufthansa are:
    Rade Bikovski: bass guitar
    Viktor Stojanovski: drums
    Luka Jovanovski: guitar, vocals
    Andrej Dimovski: guitar, vocals
    Ivo Nikolovski: guitar, vocal, synths
    Martin Dzorlev: guitar, vocal, sax

    Mixed by Rade Bikovski
    Mastering by Ivica Jankulovski
    Recorded/produced by Alen Hadzi-Stefanov
    Recorded at Kino Frosina, MKC Skopje

    Marija Kaeva: Fortuna [pmgrec 196] 2021

    This is a perfect case for a modern Macedonian electro pop. And it is no surprise that Marija Kaeva is to blame. She scattered some pop songs and collaborations in the last 2 decades, leaving us occasionally, but full of promise. Frankly, it’s not that easy to make real quality pop music, since that notion is severely misunderstood and frequently abused. But this is a joyful event, rich with substance and authenticity, almost perfect for your deeply trained “pop” pair of ears 🙂 The other part of the “blame” lays with maestro Vladan Drobicki, probably the most productive all around musician in Macedonia at the moment. This two clicked beautifully and broth to our attention one of the best releases this year by far. “Fortuna” is the revelation of pop music behind the original PMG recordings idea for an ideal living. Go for it.

    Music composed by Vladan Drobicki\Marija Kaeva,
    except “Dobro utro” ( Ilin Georg Drobicki \ Marija Kaeva)
    All lyrics written by Marija Kaeva except “Losho Pile” and “Gigavati i kravati” co-written with Mirko Popov
    Arranged and produced by Vladan Drobicki

    Produced by Vladan Drobicki
    Musicians: Ilin Georg Drobicki (programing on “Dobro utro”),Sasko Kostov (vocals on “Meuri”), Mirko Popov (vocals on “Losho pile”), Pavel Drobicki (bass guitar on “Vekovi”, “Lucy”), Aleksandar Zlateski (trumpet on “Losho pile”), Goce Naumov (djembe on “Vekovi”), Sinisha Evtimov (guitar on “Fortuna”)

    Pri Roda: Miteinander Verbunden [pmgrec 195] 2021

    Here you some new music from our old friends. This likeable lot used to release albums on this label decade ago under different name(s) and here they are now calling themselves Pri Roda (macedonian game of words, meaning nature or close kin). Well maybe the name is different and there’s a lot of german words into the affair (quite unexpected:))), but the music stays where it always belonged. Emotional and warm indie pop, or indie rock, however you take it. As ever, reminds a lot to an authentic rockandroll sound of Skopje (Macedonia, ours and theirs hometown) in the 60s, 00s, as an ever loving sonic tradition we somehow preserve it here. An honest offering to consistency and changes at the same time. If you’re into this kind of music, this one can easily cut it for you.

    Nikola Kuzmanovski: bass/solo guitar, keyboards, vocals
    Sasho Mitrevski: bass/solo guitar, vocals
    Ognen Mangarovski: keyboards
    David Gorgiev: drums
    Ivica Jankulovski: samples, Keyboards, recording, production
    Alex Plant: Mein Schhartz remix

    Recorded at Alsar Strudio, Skopje, may 2021

    Mihajlo Dojcinoski: Galaksija [pmgrec 193] 2021

    So here’s someone new 🙂 This is an absolute debut.
    Well, you know kids… they tend to grow up. A generation fertilized on trap, gaming and fake 80s nostalgia is upon us. Here comes Mihajlo Dojcinoski. After few years fucking around in his bedroom, dreaming of becoming a dj etc… he finally arrives with his own decent production and that’s the least we can say for this boy, since we’re aware of the amount of work he put into this. It is the right mixture between dreaming of the past, dreaming about the future and a proper working ethics ladies and gentlemen. This does need and deserve your full support.
