PREMIERE : Peter Raou - Croydon House

Brazilian artist Tjor makes a momentous debut on Wrong Era with his EP ‘Turbo Lover’. Bringing his energetic percussion and fizzing synth arps to a new realm in the title track, a solid tone is set from the start. Tjor’s intelligent fusion of EBM and New Beat can be heard in the dark, stormy ‘The Run’ amongst ghostly, rhythmic vocals.

‘Eternal affair’ blends Italo Disco’s arpeggios with hints of the glistening flare of west coast electro. Vocals and synth lines combine to create an atmosphere that perfectly matches the track’s title. The rising brilliance of ‘Midnight’ keeps in line with the EP’s forward-thinking energy with infectious Hi-RG synth stabs and driving low-end. ‘Corsa Romantica’ swells you into an elusive dusk setting with a powerful, swirling melody that ties the faultless elements together. Turbo Lover is a fitting title for an EP that shifts things into the next gear.' 
Radondo, Berlin 2023.
Released June 9, 2023

Tjor - Eternal Affair

Following their debut in early 2023, brainwave research center continues their journey and experimentation in Electronic music while paying homage to their musical influences. Hints of Edgar Froese, Martin Rev, Ennio Morricone, John Carpenter, and early Kraftwerk can be heard.

PREMIERE⚡brainwave research center - Guajillo

Artist: @witnessprotectionprogram
Track:  U Am I Are
Label: https://soundcloud.com/witnessprotectionprogram
Format: Digital, EP
Release date:29/9/23
YouTube: https://youtu.be/aNF6wYBA3cY

U Am I Are is based around a massive bass line that glides effortlessly upwards and downwards through most of the track and four words/syllables that try to blur the lines that separate us on the dancefloor. The result is a hypnotic and exhilarating journey that invites you to lose yourself in the rhythm.
a hanging from Another Porch is a classic WPP chugger. It blends together a fierce industrial beat with dubby bass lines and sweet and optimistic synth parts that shimmer and sparkle. The track creates a dynamic tension between the harsh and the gentle, the dark and the light, the rough and the smooth.

The handsome “Manzo Edit” calf jumps the fence and lands at the records stores with four club-ready juicy cuts. From the peak-time belter to the laid-back groover, there is something for every taste.
“Brazil” is a dark and dreamy synth-pop track, perfect for elevating any set to the next emotional level. “Dial 166” pays tribute to the origins of breaking culture with a slapping drum-centric flip. “Ray Sings To The Hop” is a slow chugger blending a fist-class groove with a rewarding acid bassline. Finally, “Jupiter Love” closes the record with a hard-hitting disco house re-edit guaranteed to bring all the kids to the dancefloor.
