[ALV012] TAKESHI KOUZUKI "ELECTRIC LANGUAGE EP" (Snippets)

Fashion Flesh is the solo output moniker of John Talaga, based in Bay city, Michigan - USA.
Undoubtedly the perfect artist for the inaugural release of Adult Version, the Alley Version's experimental side label.

He's renowned for his unique sound that combined experimental rough energy with surreal dysfunctional pop factors.
Distinctive approach to electronic analog equipment played a crucial role in shaping his signature sound.
Most of the instruments used are self-built and customized.

Asexual Bondage is a 7 tracks cassette and digital album, which opens with the preformed and reformed
samba-stic jubilee kicks in the jams of self-reassurance and esteem to the moon-child through 'Bold Astral Temperance'.
'Self-Discipline' reaches through the art of example without being preachy, pushy or puckered.
'Don’t Blow Up' suggests you do not, through the soft distractions of a rain shower on moods varied.
'Mimicry' lets you be yourself, to not live a mocking bird of prey nor a vulture of ideas.
'The Voice of God' is the voice of an atheistic John the Baptist with his attempt to bond the blind faith believers
of the universe. To experience a united non-linear yet heart felt existential state of ecstasy with the random
godhead gobblers this reality over.
'Brass Heels' steps on your hands and turns you on.
'Asexual Bondage' bravely champions the flowering chains of love between those that do not only fuck.

The cassette is a very limited edition, not to be missed considering its delicious artwork made by John Talaga himself and Francis Thayer.

[ALV001] MITUO SHIOMI + DRUM MACHINE - DEMONS & TAPES (snippet)

Takeshi Kouzuki is undoubtedly one of Japan’s most exciting new contemporary producers. A firm fixture on labels such as Hieroglyphic Being’s Mathematics, he has also repped the likes of Hotmix and Macadam Mambo since he first emerged almost a decade ago now. 
Featuring two tracks spread across two sides, the action gets underway courtesy of ‘FMBASS’. A fiery slab of old-school tinged house, it boasts a dreamy, wavey aesthetic and a timeless vibe that’s difficult not to admire. Hypnotic and beguiling, its analogue-heavy hues retain a colourful demeanour throughout, making this one something a perfect warm-up tool.
The B-side consists of ‘Eternal’, and it’s here where Kouzuki goes deep in search of kicks. A nimble, dexterous track full of colourful acid lines and sparse, sporadic kicks, it’s a contrasting track in that it manages to sound both bleak and positive at the same time. Drop this one at the right moment though, and you’re sure to leave dancers in a headspin. Elegant, classy and full of emotion, this is house music with serious heart, vim and vigour.

Following releases from Mituo Shiomi / Drum Machine and Takeshi Kouzuki, Italian imprint Alley Version is back courtesy of their third release, the split E.P. ‘Parallel Journeys’.
This time about, the label welcomes Sähkö Recordings man Nasty Boy to the fold alongside the label owners, FLML. Opening the release is the sounds of Nasty Boy’s thrilling ‘Get Up’. A slow tempo dexterous and exotic deep house track. Nasty Boy’s other original cut here is ‘Touching the void’, a more raucous track with a heavy emphasis on drum patterns and sharp, simmering synths.
The B side kicks off with FLML’s ‘Oblivion Street’, an analogue-heavy cut deep house jam that’s perfectly suited to those dark, colder nights. Culminating matters soon after is FLML’s ‘Bouncy Dream’, a good-time house record whereby FM piano-laden vibes cause havoc from the get-go. Limited vinyl only.

Tracklist: ABYSSY - Close To Me / ABYSSY- Lower Michigan Ave / DONARRA - Nostalgie Futuriste / DONARRA - Rivières Lumineuses

Italian electronic music  mastermind ABYSSY and the Marseille underground hero DONARRA, share for the ALLEY VERSION's 4th release the split E.P. "CLOSE".

ABYSSY aka Mayo Soulomon has, over the years, released records of great interest for Mathematics, New Interplanetary Melodies and many other labels, marked by Detroit and Chicago influences reworked in his personal complex cut. 
DONARRA comes to ALLEY VERSION after two beautiful E.P. for Skylax Records and La Chinerie, and recently spotted  with its synth-dark-industrial-punk moniker Cardinal & Nun, on L.I.E.S.

The opening ABYSSY's "Close To Me", an obscure rough track totally jacked with the legendary rhythm sampler E-MU SP1200, is an instant cult.
In the following "Lower Michigan Ave", a hypnotic dark plot of analog synthesizers runs on a leftfield rhythm cut, while a whiny female voice condenses the air.

First track of DONARRA's side, "Nostalgie Futuriste", is a surreal sound voyage where are merged Chicago House and Zen atmospheres.
In the culminating Detroit style banger "Rivières Lumineuses", the trippy movements of percussions and synthetic melodies are pure magic. 

Exclusively on limited 12" vinyl.

CLUB GERMS ON MY CLOTHES

[ALV006] L/F/D/M "Club Germs On My Clothes" (Snippet)

Takeshi Kouzuki returns to ALLEY VERSION label for sharing with the brothers duo FLML, the split mini-LP “Tracks From The Alley”.

From his early cult releases for Mathematics Recordings, Takeshi Kouzuki, as in these new tracks, keeps crossing old school house with his recognizable classy signature.
The warm but hitting acid of “福”, opens the Takeshi Kouzuki’s side, while in the second track “1986” deep-and-dark synthetic magic atmospheres are driven by the beating of the twins TR707 and TR727 drum machines. “Yellowacid” burns in its acid-jackin’ madness.

Openig FLML’s side “Hot Spread” is obscure jackin’ techno mechanical psychedelia, the following “Jack That Strings” is a pure raw windy city deep‘n’acid track. In the closing “Does Mean It’s You” a freaky FM synth melody is driven by the pulsing of liquid and creepy analog synths and drums, while an 8-bit sampled Andy Warhol’s speaking fragment marks the space, until dies in a delay feedback.

“Tracks From The Alley” is released exclusively on limited 12” vinyl.
