Transmisión Mecánica #2 - INTRUSO

Mannequin Records proudly presents the debut release from Children Of The Night, a dynamic duo whose music is rooted in cinematic soundscapes.
The project brings together Mexican techno producer Alejandro Barba, also known as Dellarge, and French documentary/film music producer Pierre Labret, forging a distinctive creative partnership. Their collaboration masterfully combines dark, atmospheric elements with driving electronic rhythms, drawing heavily from the worlds of classic horror and psychological thrillers. The result is a collection of soundscapes that are as eerie as they are captivating, creating an immersive and haunting listening experience.
This album stands as an unconventional horror soundtrack for a film that never came to be—a tribute to the legendary Spanish filmmaker Jess Franco, known for his prolific work in the exploitation and horror genres. Born out of the quiet chaos of the pandemic, this project was originally intended to accompany a slasher film that was halted due to financial constraints. Despite the film’s cancellation, the duo pressed forward, turning the unfinished narrative into an imaginative auditory experience. The soundtrack will serve not only as a homage to Franco but also as a nod to Juan Mendez, better known by his alias Silent Servant, whose dark, minimalist electronic productions have left a deep mark on the underground music scene.
Dellarge and Labret’s creative process is shaped by an eclectic array of inspirations, pulling from both literature and cinema. They’ve cited films such as Franco’s "Paroxismus," "Gritos," and "Faceless" as vital to their sonic direction, as well as the eerie black-and-white imagery of F.W. Murnau's "Nosferatu." Additionally, the duo draws on the disturbing psychological tension of Stephen King’s "Carrie" and "Misery," and the surreal dystopian world of Stanislaw Lem's "Congreso de Futurología." The giallo horror aesthetics of Dario Argento's "Deep Red" also serve as a significant influence, merging surreal visuals with nerve-racking, visceral soundtracks—elements mirrored in Dellarge and Labret's own compositions.
The LP is not only rich with atmospheric storytelling but also boasts a range of remarkable remixes by prominent artists in the electronic music scene. Contributions from Alessandro Adriani, David Carretta, Legowelt, and Broken English Club inject new life into the original tracks, offering reinterpretations that span from industrial techno to Italo disco, further enhancing the project’s depth and versatility. Each remix complements the overarching horror theme while adding a modern, avant-garde twist to the duo’s work.
This debut album promises to be more than just a musical release - it's a vivid exploration of the horror genre through sound, creating a sensory experience that brings forgotten films, unrealized visions, and nightmarish stories to life through music. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Dellarge and Labret invite listeners into a world where the echoes of lost films can finally be heard.

PREMIERE | Children of The Night - I (David Carretta Remix)

This year's Bonkers Music compilation, celebrating its sixth anniversary, includes a stellar lineup of artists such as Neskeh, Mike Sacchetti (SXDNS168), David Meyer (SXDNS305), Leonor (SXDNS034), Radial Gaze, Persona RS, Ducati Flux (SXDNS213 as Max Ferrer), and Ludviq (SXDNS413), the big honcho himself. Together, these artists bring a diverse, high-energy collection of cuts that explore slightly evolved musical styles while staying true to the label’s signature sound.

Intruso's contribution to the soirée, "Somos Acido," is an electrifying journey back to the early days of House and Trance music. Hailing from Bogota and now based in Barcelona, Intruso seamlessly integrates classic influences into a fresh, vibrant composition that distinguishes itself in today's electronic music scene due to a rare complexity gait.

"Somos Acido" shines on the VA for its vibrant and energetic Acid bassline. This driving force propels the theme forward with relentless intensity, making it an undeniable dance floor favourite. The bassline, reminiscent of the early 2000s, perfectly encapsulates the essence of that era while infusing it with contemporary production techniques. Intruso's ability to capture the emotional resonance of his early experiences with electronic music is evident throughout the track. The melodies evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting its audience back to a time when electronic music was still evolving and finding its place in the mainstream.

CQTR005 - V.A. - SV3, TC80, Trajano, Sebastián - SNIPPETS

Cadavra Club Paradise  15/03

French-born and Barcelona-based, Jo Kazan lands on Espacio Cielo with Ride of the Bat, a double A-side that moves between shadowy club euphoria and cinematic nostalgia. The title track is a proper dancefloor weapon - brooding, driving, and tailor-made for late-night indie dance rituals. JG Outsider dials up the EBM intensity, turning it into a full-blown sonic missile that leaves no survivors.

On the flip, Whispers of the Southlands trades brute force for emotion, unfolding like a melancholic daydream powered by shimmering arpeggios. Label regulars Silicodisco and Mao Fonnegra team up again to remix it, adding muscle and mystery while keeping the cape firmly on your shoulders - yes, it's giving synthwave Superman.

Four cuts, one vision: emotional power meets club precision.
