PREMIERE: Alarico - Killa Cut [MR004]

More new music from one of our favourite labels right now, Mutual Rytm. SHDW & Obscure Shape’s imprint has been consistent source of high grade techno inspired by the 90’s, and their next release from Alarico is just that. The Italian funk master supplies a high octane tribal roller in ‘AE86’ and we can’t get enough of it.

Alarico is on the back of an impressive year of music releases on the likes of Token Records, Hayes and more. The Italian youngster gained a significant amount of traction through his notable self-production only mixes, Alarico is a producer who is on a meteoric rise.

Combining nuances from across the genre to shape his own fast-paced and raw yet soulful sound, the Milan-based talent hasn’t slowed down since launching the alias in 2019. Having featured on the label’s VA ‘Federation Of Rythm I’ earlier this year, he now returns to SHDW and Obscure Shape’s blossoming Mutual Rytm imprint for his first EP on the label – delivering eight cuts across both digital and vinyl for ‘Boya’.

Today we premiere the A1 from Alarico’s ‘Boya’ EP. AE86 set’s the tone with rugged driving grooves, powered through tribal percussion, cheeky vocal hits and rolling low end. This sounds like it’s fresh out an early 00’s rave, as Alarico drives the groove with sharp syncopated rhythms and acute sampling. This is raw and driving funked up techno at it’s finest.

Premiere: Alarico - God Bless Hip Hop [MR-004]

A.Paul and DJ Dextro collaborate on the latest release in the revitalised Rilis series from the Unrilis record label. It features five dark and industrial tracks with hypnotic grooves, analogue sounds and dystopian atmosphere.

Rilis is a highly revered classic series that was originally launched by the iconic Rino Cerrone to be an outlet for his more experimental productions. Although Rino Cerrone has since retired from the music industry, his legacy lives on and the series was recently relaunched with new music from the likes Ritzi Lee and Samuel L Session.

Collaborating regularly, A.Paul and DJ Dextro are both veteran Portuguese producers known for their joint productions on scene-leading record labels ranging from Hans Bouffmyhre's Sleaze Records to the legendary Planet Rhythm.

Both of the guys are also accomplished solo producers, A.Paul heads up the highly influential record label Naked Lunch. DJ Dextro has recently dropped tracks on labels ranging from Pan-Pot's Second State to Coyu's Suara.

"Engage" opens the release with its eerie atmosphere and fast-flowing rhythms before the chunky percussion and stripped style of "Insipido". "Histeria" is third on the release with its trippy synth line and "Vessel 52" utilises punishing claps and explosive textures to deliver a constant flow of energy. "Reducer" closes the release with its shimmering pads and Detroit-inspired synth stabs that rappel with modulation.

Advent – A coming, or an arrival, a coming into being or use. 

Quite an appropriate name for Cisco Ferreira, a man who has played a big part in the creation and development of Techno from the very beginning of this genre’s history. Indeed, his Techno CV is the stuff of legend. Cisco was producing Techno and performing live Techno shows years before the rest of the world had even heard of the genre. He released his first track in 1988, was a pioneer of the Live PA (or Live Public Address – performing Techno live in front of an audience using electronic music gear), and, if all that wasn’t enough, he even worked as the sound engineer on some of Derrick May’s, Adonis & Fingers Inc’s recording sessions! 

The list goes on, and so does Cisco. Unlike other Techno pioneers from the early years, Cisco continues to produce with as much passion and frequency as he did back in the day. His releases on Labels Like Tresor, Rotation, Electrix, Kanzleramt, Dj Gigolos, Pure Plastic, Synewave plus many more is just another example of his ongoing pursuit to keep making music and pushing Techno to new boundaries. 

Cisco was born to Portuguese parents on the island of Madeira (Portugal). His family moved to London (1975) when he was five years old, setting the stage for his musical career. While at Paddington College (1986) in West London, he studied sound engineering and secured a job after graduation as an assistant sound engineer at ZOLOU Then later WALL Studios.  

At this period is when he really started to learn about Sound & Production, his 1st main recording sessions as an engineer were rock & “Inde” based bands & the studio owners being in successful rock bands. Matt Dangerfield & John Payne “ASIA” this 1st step was a start in learning about balancing & mixing down the rock way, which had a lot of intense & Raw energy especially on drums & Guitars.. 

Other bands Cisco did sessions for: P.I.L. (John Lydon - sex pistols) – Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) – That petrol emotion. Then Later Pop, Dance, Soul & reggae groups like: Wild Bunch (Nelly hopper & Massive Attack) – Marco Pirroni (Adam & the ants) - Maxi Priest – Sly Dunbar (Sly & Robbie) – Loose Ends – Cheryl Lynn… 

1987 Cisco began going to clubs and learning about this new thing called Acid House, which was spreading like crazy throughout London’s underground scene, culminating in the famous “Summer of Love” in 1988, the genre’s golden period. 

Around this time, a record label called, Jack Trax, “One of the 1st to release Acid House, House & techno in UK” moved in next door and began using the same studio for recording sessions, with Cisco as the engineer working with Fingers Inc, Adonis, Marshall Jefferson & Derrick May. Cisco released his first record in 1988 on Ferrari records (R&S records) Then later “Cisco Ferreira” EP on Fragile. 

His first big break came in 1994, when he and fellow Londonite Colin McBean (a.k.a. Mr. G) were brought on by Internal Records to help co-produce a group called Salt Tank. A record contract with Internal/FFRR soon followed, committing The Advent to 12 EP’s and 3 albums.

Today, The Advent goes on just as Cisco Ferreira. While he has had a long history with tons of accomplishments to hang his hat on, he continues to make history. The Advent is fulfilling Cisco’s vision as much as ever. He is busy touring as both a DJ and a live performer, producing for numerous labels, and running his own Techno imprint, Kombination Research. 

As Cisco moves forward, striving to fulfill the ambitious goals he has set one can look back at his storied past and see how he has come full circle… The Saga continues.
