We've teamed up with Barcelona-based producer Fitzroy North to deliver this sweet release showcasing a refined synth funk sound, blending the raw punch of analogue synths with the polished touch of modern digital production. 

Recorded largely on the road between Barcelona, a farmhouse in the Pyrenees and various Bordeaux campsites, the Cronopic EP applies Fitzroy North's meticulous production technique to his distinct penchant for 1980s-inspired r&b, electro and boogie-funk jams.

Hot on the heels of a vinyl EP release on German label Slam City Jams, Montreal-based producer gonima (a.k.a. Evan Magoni) teams up with Ancient Robot records for Out of Sides, a 6-track release that veers into melodic, glitch-beats territory.

Drawing on experience with a variety of projects including drum duty in math-rock band Boy Friends, Magoni’s compositions as gonima are informed by a solid grasp of both musical structure and sound manipulation.  The gonima project traverses house, ambient, lo-fi hip-hop beats and glitch with a consistent melodic thread running throughout each track. 

Unlike Grids, gonima’s previous dancefloor-ready release, Out of Sides is particularly reminiscent of classic IDM pioneers of the early 2000s. With influences such as Plaid, Arovane and Hizmi, Out of Sides explores the more introspective side of electronic beats, blending cold timbres with lush melodies to create a subtle emotional impact. On each of the 6 tracks, Magoni weaves a layer of mysticism and natural wonder on skittering beats in various ways, be it through dream-like synth lines or manipulated acoustic samples.

Barcelona-based Sheffield son Fitzroy North delivers us Animate, a 4-track EP of analogue-synth-inflected electro. Rather than simply revisit feel-good 1980s tropes, the four compact cuts explore the isolation, desperation and anxiety experienced by those living through that decade, especially in the U.K. 

Recorded and produced in Barcelona on an array of hardware spanning 4 decades, Animate offers us an opportunity to hear a re-booted electro sound. Each track is informed by modern production techniques but retains a machine-funk based soul.
