Crossing

Apparel Review

APPAREL PREMIERE: Alton Miller - Crossing [Roots Underground Records]

Zopelar returns to Tartelet with Ritmo Freak, an electric eight-track album from the beating heart of the Brazilian underground, out May 10.

In a flurry of madcap sampling pitched towards the heat of the night, Pedro Zopelar builds on the premise of his 2022 electro-funk love letter Charme, shifting his approach towards a particular 90s flair and a method with a specific end result.

Ritmo Freak took root in studio experiments for a momentous — and rare — live set at São Paulo festival Não Existe in 2023, where Zopelar was caught up in one of those right-place, right-time moments we carry with us through life. As he explains himself:

“This album is dedicated to freaky club culture. While I was playing at the festival there was a crazy tropical storm outside and the room was packed with the freakiest crowd. I've tried hard to immortalize that feeling on this record."
With the intended energy in mind, Zopelar focused on a particular mode of production centred around 12-bit sampling from his ample record collection.

Considering his background as a trained pianist, here his musical instincts are forced to work within the limitations of short, snappy cuts from dusty 12”s. The lo-fi sound sources and the resourceful ways Zopelar works them gives the record an unmistakable old-skool flavour which he applies to forthright house, techno and electro funk rhythms, always taking care to draw out the soul of the music.

The stylistic touchstones flow past thick and fast on Ritmo Freak. From the amped up fierceness of the title track with its gaudy, cut n’ paste, vintage techno flavour to the effervescent electro funk of ‘Gabriellinha’s Boogie’ on to the surreal Balearic inversion of ‘Distraction’, this is a high-velocity, endlessly charming record bursting with the musicality Zopelar has made his name on.

As the driving force behind many warehouse parties in São Paulo, Zopelar has been immersed in club culture for a long time, and his distinctive catalogue of jazz, funk, acid and techno has graced highly respected labels like Apron, Selva Discos and Mother Tongue. Throughout, he’s displayed an affinity for the tangled roots of the groove with an open-eared, big-hearted sound. That’s what comes through on Ritmo Freak — a record as infectious as it is well- informed.

PREMIERE: Zopelar - Beat Me [Tartelet Records]

Manzo's new drop is a volume packed with four shamelessly pleasurable edits, a ray of sun shining brightly over the green pastures ready to bring summer vibes to every farm and ranch! Ici C'est Toujours Les Vacances opens with a wheel of french-roquefort-house that is all smiles and grooves. Then, Belgian Mambo slows down the beat, swaying into a mystic acid trip. We shake horns and cowbells like there's no tomorrow on the alluring beat of Sea Urchin before the final epic ride of Ferramenta nº20, an interstellar tractor that shoots you straight into a disco-infused outer space.

PREMIERE: Adham Zahran - Crash & Burn (It's Alright) [Gemini Wax Records]

OUT July 26th
vinyl + digital

Federico Costantini aka Luminodisco is back on Hell Yeah having long since assured his legacy with the label. Over the years, the Italian has dropped many cult and still widely played cuts here from across the disco-sphere ('Ragazzini,' 'Diavolo di un Disco,' 'Oh Mary' and more all still bang) and now he is back with a newly moved sound. A compulsion to produce something with "a more adult approach" is what defines this latest era, and a fine one it is too. 

Opener 'Solero' will surely become as revered as those classics above with its irresistible grooves guaranteed to bring ultimate dance floor satisfaction. The punchy drums are peppered with percussion and drum fills while gloriously sugary chords add the heat and wispy pads take things into cosmic realms. 'Jazzclub' is an unhinged rhythmic interlude that chops up vocal stabs, screwy synths and whirring machines into stomping brilliance then 'Bigfoot' slows things to a dubbed out crawl that has you gazing at the twinkling star-like synths. Things then get wonderfully wild on closer 'Sokò', a jumble of percussion and tribal vocals over swaggering drum loops. Playful leads bring the sun as the dumpy bass plods on, pixel thin pads squirm  all around and a celestial carnival in the sky plays out with irresistible charm. 

Luminodisco is back and better than ever with this lovably unhinged new EP.

Sounds of Lava Lava 11
Various Artists
WAVES Volume 1
Release Date: 14/06/2024

After an amazing response to an open call for demos last year, Sounds of Lava Lava is proud to present the first edition of its various artists compilation; WAVES. All five tracks span the vast Electronic genre, from deep and mesmerising grooves to rough and raw dance floor weapons.

Mirko Hecktor kicks off the compilation with Aquaborn; a slow burner laid out over almost 7 minutes where delicate arpeggiated synths bounce alongside soft drums, warm bass lines, wandering keys and chopped vocal samples to create a hypnotising and almost meditative track. Following up is a debut from Scottish producer Lobos. Hailing from Fife and now a part of Glasgow's thriving music scene, his track 5am Sunrise has an energy and excitement which is reminiscent of early 90’s UK dance records. Looped synth lines and melodies playfully develop and distort throughout while driving kicks and clean percussion lead through moments of euphoria.

Chris & Reece keep it low and slow with Red Right Hand. Squelching acid-tinged bass lines weave between thumping drum patterns and gritty piano stabs while Reece’s echoing vocals create an almost tangible atmosphere.

Making a return to Sounds of Lava Lava is Glaswegian duo Pentland Park. With Never Go Back they take the energy up a level with punchy drums and chest-shaking sub bass tones. Delicate vocal samples contrast with the sharp percussion, adding a layer of beauty to this raw groove. Finally Max Raskin closes out the compilation with California Honey. A true hardware enthusiast, Max combines crunching synth lines, shuffling drum patterns, spiralling keys and reverberating vocal hooks to make a true dance floor heater.

Tunnel V - Forbidden Planet EP

1 - Forbidden Planet 1AM
2 - Forbidden Planet 3AM
3 - Forbidden Planet 6AM

For our 50th anniversary we present you three unreleased, hypnotic Acid-versions of PsychoPlasma „Forbidden Planet“, a tune that was recorded in 1994 and came out as 12“ on Tanjobi Records in 1996. We already re-released it on Forms & Figures a few years ago. These other three versions were recorded by Alex Krüger during one night and were based on the same bass- and drum patterns of the PsychoPlasma version from few days earlier that were still in sequencer memory.

At the time Alex was still working with an all analogue setup that was based around Rolands X0X series and cv/gate sequencers, so everything sounds very early 1990s, trippy, raw and was arranged and recorded in real-time on cheap equipment. 

Some inspiration obviously came from Laurent Garnier’s „Fnac“ label, that we know Alex liked a lot at the time. 

Mastered by Alex Krüger.
