Music allows us to meet new people and share our feelings and emotions regardless of the time, the place, the situation… it’s all about sharing this common sensation.

We’ve wanted this guy on the Mothership for a long time now and we are very proud to finally welcome the native Mexican Edgar Alonso, known as Sakro, aboard La Vie En Rose.

With music already signed to labels such as Father & Sons, House Wax, Housework and Amam, Sakro has had his killer tracks played by industry heavyweights like Ricardo Villalobosm Zip and Raresh to name but a few.

A product of Mexico’s young generation of ‘new house’ lovers and protagonists, Edgar is a true champion of US house flavours, splicing his sound with influences from the three cities where the foundations of our culture were formed; Chicago, New york and Detroit.

This EP contains three original Sakro productions and includes a remix from strong new trio from the south of France LYE (Loquace with Yamen & Eda).

‘Everybody Dies Young’ is exactly what we are talking about; a true vintage house rhythm with swing and groovy snares mixed over a dark backdrop that gives you this feeling of magic and mystery. An eerie delight for the early morning hours, when things get weird…


‘Genesis; is more dubby and mysterious with a heavy house beat and sub bass, stirring up an atmosphere reminiscent of that found in the productions of some of Romania’s finest. A secret weapon for any DJ who wants something to drop something dangerous on an unsuspecting dance floor.

The third track is the product of a collaboration between Edgar and Mike Montaño, called ‘Mood Swinger’. A killer house tune which has Strictly Rhythm embedded in its DNA. It works off a vintage beat together with futuristic pads and an air of intrigue which pervades throughout.

To close out the EP, French trio LYE delivered a peak hour remix of ‘Everybody Dies Young’ with an infectious loop and sultry bass line combined with elements from the original, adding some harmony over the top. Killer.
