Milano-based producer Eluard graces Slow Motion Records once again with his debut album ‘Dirty Hall’. A release filled with his distinctively nostalgic tone, blending West Coast synth funk and Italo Disco with appropriate, seamless grit. 

‘Dirty Hall’ opens with ‘Die Erste Musik’,  a chiming track with a wide, captivating vocal sampler riff that delicately dances off fizzing percussion. Creamy, glistening chords sit beautifully within this arrangement effortlessly complementing the bassline. This approach is taken a step further in the following ‘Carlo E Daria’, with an instantly attention-grabbing swirling synth motif.  

‘Dirty Hall’ shows the breadth of Eluard's innate talent for harnessing the best out of the analogue machine, creating a rich sonic palette that never fails to warm the ears. The thundering lows of ‘Comic Bad’ are met with a mind-bending augmented synth line and a beautifully enigmatic vocal riff. 

Eluard’s sound design throughout this LP masterfully pushes the retro into the present realm, retaining the characterful intrigue of the instruments recorded. Intelligently placed harmonies in ‘Dancers Are Thin And Pretty’ and ‘Funny Jasmine’ help to raise the instrumental sequences, allowing the listener to be transported to a more reflective, existential space. 

The slick flare of elegant floor filler ‘Phonemes’ solidifies Eluard as a visionary within the Italian Dance Wave Movement, layering distinguished instrumentals with perfectly placed melodics.

‘Dirty Hall’ eloquently concludes with the sophisticated sleaze of ‘In The Next Room’. A masterful nod to the golden era of the vocoder with a stomping, percussive groove and a cleansing chordal sequence. ‘Dirty Hall’ is an LP charged with a mind-bending evocation instilling Eluard as a forward-thinking force within the sonic sphere.

PREMIERE : Ludmila Fuks - Lullaby (Sol Ariens Remix)
Release date : 23/10/23
Format : Digital
Buy : https://kymakomplex.bandcamp.com/album/las-flores-del-mal-inc-sol-ariens-diaz-tech-remixes

"There is beauty in rottenness. The decay of withered flowers shows us the intimate closeness between caducity, death, and beauty. The atmospheres generated by toxic plants, with the poisons we inhale, are environments of fantasy, hypnotic, where we release our most intimate desires. In a fantasy anything can happen, even what we long for the most.

'Las Flores Del Mal' are the flowers of death, but they are also the rotten, imperfect, hard flowers that embody a fecund and beautiful force. It is in the tension between darkness and beauty, in the darkest moments of life, that the most beautiful can bloom. From the Baudelairean-decadentist motif of Las flores del mal to the darker calm of a Lullaby, which does not want to let us sleep, this EP is tense between death and resurrection. Between evil and what could blossom from it."

Sol Ariens is an Argentine DJ, producer, and collector from the city of Buenos Aires. She is a student of the Popular Music program at FBA and has been a bassist in various bands that blend electronic, rock, and electroclash genres. With a focus on the space within each track, she eclectically immerses us in different musical genres, ranging from the roots of house and techno to EBM, new beat, acid, and electro, creating unique musical atmospheres for every moment.

TR179 - Csk

Just in time for the weekend, we received the perfect guest mix no. 30! The tracklist looks and sounds very promising and includes two familiar Blank Wave faces with Perel and Lauer, with whom we had two unforgettable events this summer. Beartrax also recently performed with Aural Trace, Dina Summer, Xpresso Martina, Psycho Jones and Shia LaBiff at one of our events in Frankfurt and we were not only able to admire him on the electric violin, but also behind the decks at the same time. That was definitely a great pleasure! Back in New York, he has now recorded an exclusive mix for us. Of course with one or two tracks from his label Melodize.

We'll now tell you a thing or two about him. Ever since picking up the violin 18 years ago, Beartrax has experimented with a variety of instruments and styles. This included stints in orchestras as well as jazz and metal bands. After discovering house and techno in late 2011, he decided to get a copy of Ableton, start producing, and exploring the wide realm of electronic music production and DJing, constantly experimenting with different ways to incorporate his musical background into his productions and performances.

Beartrax’s productions and performances heavily feature organic, musical elements such as violins and synths as he conveys his love for melodies and vast range of influences, which range from Heavy Metal and Punk to New Wave and Classical.

Having worked with labels such as Motek, Nite Grooves and Lost Diaries and seeing numerous releases appear in the Beatport charts with the support of renowned DJs such as Ame, Laurent Garnier and Oliver Schories, Beartrax is now focusing on his own imprint, Melodize, which is a further expression of his musical approach to house and techno.
