Legowelt RINSE FM DJ Mix For Unknown to the Unknown 1st April 2021

On the last two weekends of January 2023 we exchanged some mutual affection with Vitamin, our favorite music pit and the best crew from Brno. We decided to immortalise the two long nights with a few small doses of Vitamin A extracts – five recordings from events in Prague and Brno.

5th recording captures the b2b chemistry between NCOL and Yan, who closed Vitamin's basement on January 27.

Godforsaken Roads (BlackStrobe Records / !K7)

A small cellar in a smart building. A carefully curated collection of analogic synthesisers. A pot of Brylcreem on a table. ZZ Top and Muddy Waters vinyl sitting in a corner in front of a gleaming guitar and an old amplifier. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Arnaud Rebotini’s lair in Montmartre, Paris.

A hulk of a man, Rebotini may look physically impressive but inside he’s really a big softy who loves singing the blues and has an almost carnal attachment to his keyboards and vintage drum machines. His musical career is now divided between two projects: one uses his own name, Arnaud Rebotini, releasing instrumental electronic albums, both nostalgic and futurist, that he plays live on stage - alone - surrounded by his favourite machines. The other is Black Strobe, where he sings and plays a steamy mix of rock and electronic music heavily influenced by blues and country ‘n’ western. The project comes to life fully on stage with the energy of a four-person group.

In September 2014, Black Strobe will release his second album, Godforsaken Roads. The record confirms Rebotini’s rock sensibility and debt to the great American tradition of songwriting, with songs touching on the classic themes of the blues - the randomness of life, the very weight of existence and the strong emotions that run just below the surface (love, lust, loneliness…). He plunges into this world of the bayou, prison and the devil with real passion and the voice of crooner often compared to Iggy Pop or Nick Cave.

Godforsaken Roads contains ten new tracks, including the latest singles Going Back Home and Broken Phone Blues. The digital edition adds Boogie In Zero Gravity and The Girl From The Bayou released as singles in 2012. On the album, Rebotini also reappropriates Folsom Prison Blues, a Johnny Cash classic, once again with the aim of keeping the blues/country ‘n’ western flame alive (the group’s first album already contained a cover version of Bo Diddley’s famous track I’m A Man). This new version, entirely synth-led with not a guitar in sight, transports the song to another space-time continuum with swathes of keyboard worthy of Tangerine Dream, perfectly resuming the spirit of Black Strobe in 2014.

However, don’t think that Godforsaken Roads is all retro - in fact it’s bang up to date, using electronics, sometimes even of a disco slant, to give Black Strobe its futurist dimension. The album allows Arnaud Rebotini to capture the spirit of America’s cowboy era and transport it to the present day with resolutely modern production, much like the spirit of the blues that seeps from the music of electro-pop idols Depeche Mode.

This contemporary western feel, both melancholic and polished, came to the notice of Quentin Tarantino – who used Black Strobe’s cover version of I’m A Man for the trailer of Django Unchained – and Dior, who chose the same track to advertise their perfume Eau Sauvage. By creating a link between the past, present and future, the group’s music has also appealed to Martin Scorsese (the trailer of The Wolf of Wall Street), Guy Ritchie (the soundtrack to RocknRolla) and the creators of the videogame Grand Theft Auto V (GTA).

Although plaudits are now coming from all quarters, Black Strobe has been around for a while. Founded in 1997, the group has released one album (Burn Your Own Church, produced by Paul Epworth) and more than a dozen singles on labels such as Kitsuné, Output, Crosstown Rebels, Supersoul Recordings and Source. As Black Strobe, Arnaud Rebotini has done more than forty remixes for groups such as Rammstein, Depeche Mode, The Rapture, Bloc Party, Fischerspooner, The Hacker and Dave Clarke.

The group is also used to touring in the USA, South America, Japan, Australia and Europe, playing both indoor venues and the world’s biggest festivals (Reading/Leeds, Sónar, Primavera, Pukkelpop, Dour, Transmusicales).

With Rebotini on keyboards and vocals, his current companions are Mathieu Zub (guitar), Benjamin Beaulieu (bass/keyboards) and Mathys Dubois (drums). These three musicians accompany the founder of Black Strobe both in the studio and on stage, and participated in the recording sessions for the album Godforsaken Roads, conducted entirely in Paris at Red Bull Studios, Studios Soyuz and using Rebotini’s home set-up.

With this new album, layered and feverish, the group is back with renewed faith in the power of the blues and a passion for motivating beats.

Godforsaken Roads (BlackStrobe Records / !K7)

Une petite cave sous un immeuble chic où est rangée avec soin une belle collection de synthés analogiques. Un pot de gomina posé sur la table. Des 33 tours de ZZ Top et de Muddy Waters dans un coin, juste devant une guitare rutilante et un vieil ampli. Voilà l’antre d’Arnaud Rebotini. Au pied de Montmartre, en plein cœur de Paris.

Avec sa carrure imposante, Rebotini impressionne physiquement mais l’homme a le cœur sensible. Il aime chanter des ballades blues et entretient un rapport charnel avec ses claviers et ses boîtes à rythmes vintage. Son parcours musical se décline aujourd’hui en deux projets : sous son nom, Arnaud Rebotini, il produit des albums électro synthétiques instrumentaux, nostalgiques et futuristes à la fois, qu’il défend seul en live, entouré de ses machines. Sous l’étiquette Black Strobe, il chante et signe des morceaux au carrefour du rock et de la musique électronique qui se nourrissent d’influences blues et country. Une musique qui se vit sur scène avec toute l’énergie d’un vrai groupe.

Black Strobe va publier en septembre 2014 son deuxième album, Godforsaken Roads. Ce disque affirme l’identité rock du groupe et les racines américaines du songwriting d’Arnaud Rebotini. Les chansons qu’il écrit abordent des thèmes courants dans le blues : les aléas de la vie, les tracas de l’existence, les sentiments à fleur de peau (l’amour, le désir, la solitude). Il plonge dans cet imaginaire - le bayou, la prison, le diable – avec une réelle passion et avec une voix de crooner qui évoque parfois Iggy Pop ou Nick Cave.

L’album Godforsaken Roads comprend dix morceaux originaux, dont les nouveaux singles Going Back Home et Broken Phone Blues (l’édition digitale inclura aussi les morceaux Boogie In Zero Gravity et The Girl From The Bayou publiés en maxis en 2012). Sur ce long-format, Arnaud Rebotini se réapproprie aussi Folsom Prison Blues, un classique de Johnny Cash, avec toujours cette envie de faire vivre le répertoire du blues et de la country (le premier album du groupe comprenait déjà une réinterprétation du célèbre I’m A Man de Bo Diddley). Cette nouvelle reprise, entièrement synthétique et sans guitares, est transportée dans un autre espace temps avec des nappes de claviers dignes de Tangerine Dream. Elle résume parfaitement l’esprit de Black Strobe en 2014.

Mais, loin de l’esprit rétro confit, ce Godforsaken Roads respire la modernité. Avec toujours cette dynamique synthétique, et parfois discoïde, qui donne une dimension futuriste à la musique de Black Strobe. Dans cet album, Arnaud Rebotini capture l’Amérique des cowboys et la fait voyager jusqu’à aujourd’hui en lui apportant une production résolument contemporaine. A l’image de l’esprit blues qui peut transpirer chez les maîtres de l’électro pop Depeche Mode.

Cet univers de western moderne, mélancolique et classe, a séduit Quentin Tarantino – il a utilisé la reprise de I’m A Man par Black Strobe pour la bande annonce de son film Django Unchained – et Dior qui a choisi le même titre pour la publicité de son parfum Eau Sauvage. En créant ce pont entre passé, présent et futur, la musique du groupe a aussi plu à Martin Scorsese (bande annonce du film Le Loup de Wall Street), Guy Ritchie (bande son de RocknRolla) et aux créateurs du jeu vidéo Grand Theft Auto V (GTA).

L’histoire de Black Strobe s’écrit donc maintenant mais la formation revendique déjà un bon bout de route. Créé en 1997, le groupe a publié un album (Burn Your Own Church, produit par Paul Epworth) et une quinzaine de maxis sur des labels comme Kitsuné, Output, Crosstown Rebels, Supersoul Recordings, Source. Sous l’alias Black Strobe, Arnaud Rebotini a réalisé aussi une quarantaine de remixes pour Rammstein, Depeche Mode, The Rapture, Bloc Party, Fischerspooner, The Hacker ou Dave Clarke.

Par ailleurs, le groupe a joué un peu partout sur la planète (Etats-Unis, Amérique du Sud, Japon, Australie) et en Europe dans d’innombrables salles et dans de grands festivals (Reading/Leeds, Sónar, Primavera, Pukkelpop, Dour, Transmusicales).

Autour d’Arnaud Rebotini (chant/claviers), la formation se compose aujourd’hui de Mathieu Zub (guitares), Benjamin Beaulieu (basse/claviers) et Mathys Dubois (batterie). Ces trois musiciens accompagnent le fondateur de Black Strobe aussi bien en studio que sur scène. Ils ont participé aux séances de l’album Godforsaken Roads qui a été entièrement enregistré à Paris, aux Red Bull Studios, aux Studios Soyuz et dans le studio personnel d’Arnaud Rebotini.

Fort de cet album dense et fiévreux, le quatuor s’apprête maintenant à repartir à l’assaut du monde. Avec la foi du blues et l’amour des boucles synthétiques chevillés au corps.

The new set from the Before The Curfew series features Recid B2B Roman K at Backyard on the 30th of September 2023, is now available on our SoundCloud. 

The cover photo is one of the last shots taken by Roman K on the southern coast of Crimea after the annexation. That day, there was a storm at sea, which symbolically represented the pain, fear, and protest against the events of 2014.

This set marks the first time these two friends have reunited behind the decks, having been away from their hometown and loved ones for a long time. They always have a lot to talk about without using words.

Before the Curfew is a series of music podcasts that emerged in 2022 after the reopening of the club following the liberation of Kyiv. All recordings presented in this series take place before midnight, before the curfew begins. Before the Curfew offers a vibrant snapshot of the Ukrainian music scene amidst challenging times, celebrating resilience, creativity, and unity through music.

Новий сет із серії «Before The Curfew» — це виступ Recid B2B Roman K на Backyard 30 вересня 2023 року, вже доступний у нас на SoundCloud. 
Обкладинка — одне з останніх фото, зроблених Roman K на південному березі Криму після анексії. Того дня на морі була гроза, як символ болю, страху і протесту проти подій 2014 року. 

Цей сет — перша зустріч за пультом двох друзів, які давно не були в рідному місці та не бачили близьких. Їм завжди є про що поспілкуватися без слів.

Before the Curfew — це серія музичних подкастів, що з'явилася у 2022 році після відкриття клубу та визволення Київщини. Усі записи, представлені у цій серії, проводяться до півночі, перед початком комендантської години. Before the Curfew — це відображення сучасної української музичної сцени в умовах викликів, що стоять перед нею.

Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets. The specific dynamism the NYC-based DJ and producer constructs is an intoxicating flow that is always palpable between the walls of the foggy, neon-lit dancefloor. Parts sleaze and sultry, Andi’s aesthetic is body music based, thriving on the delivery of the groove and the bombastic highs of a track’s apex. As a devotee of distinct sounds such as EBM, new beat, Italo, and freestyle—with hints of housey 90s elements—her sets reflect her deep vinyl collection: diverse, yet focused, and completely one-of-a-kind. Further, as the boss of SYNTHICIDE—the internationally known party, label and event series—Andi has cultivated the dark underground scene for over a decade in Brooklyn. 


Her own productions aim to challenge the expectations within the confines of traditionally masculine dance genres. With bassline-heavy grooves and a conceptual emphasis on storytelling with samples taken from long-forgotten erotic thrillers and seedy sci-fi films, Andi adds a wry yet delicate touch to machine music. Andi has released on aufnahme + wiedergabe, Mecanica, Mannequin, and Curses’ Next Wave Acid Punx Deux compilation. Most recently, she contributed a track to Dischi Autunno's Intermezzo Tre compilation with the track "End Program."

This mix was a recorded set for Dykes of Darkness in San Francisco on October 12th

Dedicated to my dearly missed father!  <3 

''Romanian producer and DJ Andrew Red Hand has carved a unique niche in the world of underground electronic music.
His work stands as a tribute to the raw energy of Detroit techno and electro, yet it retains a deeply personal, emotional tone that gives it timeless depth.
 Over the years, Andrew has released a steady stream of high-impact records across some of the most respected labels in the scene. His catalog includes standout EPs on Detroit Underground, Matrix Records Detroit, Twilight 76, and others —each showcasing his mastery of analog-driven textures, sharp 808 rhythms, and melodic melancholia. His work with Diffuse Reality, Lobster Theremin, 10 PIlls Mate and Shipwrec further solidifies his reputation for pushing boundaries while staying true to the roots of electro.
 This EP “For My Father EP” marks his second appearance on Time Passages. He first contributed to the label’s V.A. compilation with the track D2 – “In the Cemetery”, remixed by the legendary Hardfloor. Now, he returns with a full four-track EP, offering his most focused and expansive vision yet. Notably, the B1 “Gritty Bass” is a remix from another icon of the scene—DJ Hell— .''

Juno Records Review : 
''Romanian Andrew Red Hand has established himself as a key voice in the underground while fusing the vibes of early Detroit techno and electro with his own personal, emotive depth. Over the years, he has released several standout EPs on top labels like Detroit Underground and Twilight 76, and again, his mastery of analogue textures and precise 808 rhythms is on show here. His second release on Time Passages opens with 'Gritty Bass' which is dark, heavy, bouncing. 'Train From Lanarca To Nicosia' is more stripped down to a sleek groove with unhurried pads peeling off the beats and a DJ Hell remix brings some signature texture and sleaze.''

Arnaud Rebotini is a singer, songwriter, producer and remixer, he has become one of the most emblematic figures in electronic music today, adept at straddling genres, both avant-garde and timeless, and bringing them together. 
For example, his Zend Avesta project (Organique, Universal 2000) married electronic music with a chamber orchestra. 
With his analogue synthesisers, he became a central figure on the scene of new international techno, marking renewed enthusiasm for the use of electronic instruments rather than just computers. His live shows have always been unanimously celebrated (Music Components, Citizen 2008, Someone Give Me Religion, K7 - 2010) and his remixes for pour Depeche Mode, David Guetta, Rammstein, The Rapture, Bloc Party, Acid Washed and Tristesse Contemporaine are as indicative of his sets at the biggest clubs and festivals (playing live or mixing) as his collaboration with the highbrow Groupe de Recherches Musicales, especially with Christian Zanési for their Frontières project.
