In early 2015, Italian electronic producer Fabrizio Mammarella aka Telespazio released an excellent debut full length on Hell Yeah, and now the label offers up four tracks from it remixed by modern greats Kito Jempere, Wolf Muller, Harvey Sutherland and Tempelhof.

In original form the album was a truly unique and idiosyncratic journey into a freaky sound world. Now it has new moods and groves layer into it and becomes just as exciting a proposition as a result.

Up first, Russian Kito Jempere, who has previously released on labels like Freerange, serves up a mid tempo, cosmic work out of ‘Glide Shot’ with smeared synths and loosely jumbled percussion. It’s a perfect early evening track before notoriously weird and eccentric producer jan Schulte aka Wolf Muller, who has released great disco oddities on Themes For Great Cities, then goes slow with his take on ‘Barrier’. Slowly percolating percussion, whistling synths, sci-fi melodies and more all make this a proper freaky curveball.

Echovolt man and melodic deep house craftsmen Harvey Sutherland then layers up globular arps with skyward pads and thin, sheet metal hits to craft something that is propulsive yet beautiful. It’s a patient, spacious remix full of summer soul that really makes you feel good.

Lastly, Tempelhof, who have themselves released excellent ambient works on this label before now, turn ‘Nuvolari’ into a a blissful bit of cosmic and atmospheric chug disco. It will have your head reeling back and your eyes scanning the night sky at the same time as making you dance, and closes out another fantastic package from Hell Yeah.

The cold water rushed against the side of the boat as the storm began to worsen. The night had grown dark several hours ago and now all they were left with was the harrowing whistle of the loud, hollow wind which shook the wooden frame. They had known the journey would be difficult but few had expected the waters to rage with such malice. Now, as the waves rose higher and higher all around them they began to think of home, not that of which they had left but of a made up place far away. Somewhere in which life was peaceful, still and they didn't have to flee. 

Carisma released "Qué es Wave?" back in July earlier this year. Now Dengue Dancing Records have returned with a remix package featuring reimagined versions from Mr. TC and Tom Tom Clubber. Listen to the Mr. TC version of "Qué es Wave?"

Die Wilde Jagd – Säuregäule (from the album "Uhrwerk Orange")

Second release of Positive Education's label by @jacquessatre

Blossoming from the depths of Saint-Etienne, Worst Records is proud to present the second release of its catalogue. In the right path opened by A Strange Wedding with his debut vinyl called « Meta Romance », Jacques Satre delivers with « Anatole Trance » a radical hallucinogenic journey through warped horizons of the mind. This long time member of the Positive Education crew sets up a curious yet fascinating mixture of bass-driven downtempo techno, free range acidalia and fierce sense of absurd humor. The three tracks evolve slowly, building up between litanies for wrecked concrete samples and colourful enchantment. This ambivalence results in dancefloor burning tunes that could also be the soundtrack for mesmerizing off-time afterhours. A concentrate of local wizardry that unveils once again hollow zones of the sound of Saint-Etienne.

WORST002 - Jacques Satre - Anatole Trance EP (previews)

BUY VINYL: http://www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/vinyl/angela-fantasy-ep/
Angela was the studio project of husband/wife duo Angela and Ingo Werner formed in 1981 in Rüsselsheim, Germany. Ingo had classical training in bassoon and piano at the Akademie für Tonkunst in Darmstadt from 1966-70. He joined Krautrock band My Solid Ground in 1971 before going on to form his own project Baba Yaga in 1974.  In the late 70s he formed the ensemble AIR with Armin Stöwe and Reinhard Karwatky. The project debuted with  a a concert at ARS Electronica Competition in Linz, Austria 1980, which they won. Klaus Schulze was on the jury with Wendy Carlos and Robert Moog - but more importantly, Angela was in the audience. Two days later, Ingo told the band he needed a singer, so they asked Angela, and recorded two albums for RCA between 1981-82 before being dropped. Ingo wanted to work on a new project that involved dancers and live video. They recruited American performance artist Jyl Porch, who was living in Munich, to assist with choreography with her friend Kirsten McKenley. Jyl ended up recording her own album first, which gained interest from Klaus Schulze, who helped them secure a deal with EMI in 1983. Later that year, the trio recorded 4 songs that would be released on Angela ‘Fantasy’ single on 7” and 12” formats in 1984.
The music on ‘Fantasy’ was completely created with computer software of Ingo’s own design. The concept of a polyrhythmic, polyphonic, and polydynamic sequencer was realized by Ingo after a visit to Wolfgang Palm in Hamburg. He paired his sequencer with Palm’s legendary PPG Wave Computer System, allowing for more dynamic and nuanced programming. Angela programmed the music, sang, and wrote the lyrics to “Painted Love”, while Ingo arranged and played all electronics and keyboards. Jyl wrote the lyrics for “Fantasy” and the slow and sleazy, electronic disco B-side “I Gotta Little Love”, where she also sings background vocals and the “hot little flame” rap. The original B-side to the 7” version was a cover of the 1967 Hal Hackady and Lee Pockriss song “Kites”, made famous by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound.  All songs have been remastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The EP features the original 1984 cover artwork with a striking photo of Angela styled by Jyl in severe Neue Deutsche Welle fashion, and includes an insert with lyrics and and photos designed by Maycec.
