Faraway

Artist: Alejandro Molinari
Title: Break the Bricks EP
Label: Blindetonation
Release: 6th June 2016
Cat. No. BLDN005

Rugged electronic disco label Blindetonation welcomes a new producer to the fray for their fifth EP. That man is the fast rising Alejandro Molinari, a Venezuelan producer, singer, guitar player and DJ from Caracas who serves up six scintillating tracks of fine machine music.

Molinari uses analog and acoustic devices to create his fully formed sounds and integrates lo-fi samples of songs, speeches, interviews, field recordings and films too giving them a conceptual and cultural edge. With a passion for blending the synthetic and the organic, he has already impressed on Onerpm and does so again here.

Excellent opener ‘Break the Bricks’ is five minutes of corrugated synths, undulating rubber bass and carefully uttered male vocals that lend a human touch to the abstract sounds all around. ‘StereoMatches’ is slower and more trippy, with freewheeling synths riding up and down the scales whilst slap funk drums bring the infectious groove below.

‘Peso Muerto’ is deeper and more stripped back, with elastic drums and meandering sine waves making for a rather haunted and excellent atmosphere, then ‘Human Machine’ layers up fat drums and plodding bass stabs with twinkling keys and dehumanised vocals that make for a brilliantly robotic groove. ‘Machine Experience’ is then back to direct dance floor action with driven kicks, cosmic energy and prickly percussion making you sit up and take note before this well formed EP closes with the expertly menacing and industrial disco darkness of ‘Thanda.’

This is robust and inventive stuff that will jerk dance floors in to action and very much continues Blindetonation’s fine run of form.

Tracklist:

1.Break the Bricks
2.StereoMatches
3.Peso Muerto
4.Human Machine
5.Machine Experience
6.Thanda

Alejandro Molinari - Peso Muerto [Blindetonation] Preview

Spinning gold is pretty difficult. But that’s what Franz Scala does. Simple when you know how, and this Italian does. Three tracks of pure italo sunshine. Snapping beats and cocktail chords meet on the dancefloor for ‘Discoteca Paradiso’, sleek synthlines keeping time as the pair turn and twirl. ‘Gun Theory’ works in moonlit. Clean drums are sullied by dripping keys, a cigarette locked in the teeth of this after hours affair. And the lights aren’t up yet, Scala has one more floor filler up his sleeve. Pulsing rhythms say there still hope, she’s style out there; but the bitter sweet melodies disagree. A lilting heartbreaker, in the elegant form of ‘Riflessi’.

PREMIERE | Connor - Bad Request [Esthetique] 2017

En su referencia número 22 los chicos de @playgroundrecords apuestan fuerte por LEONOR; uno de entre otros grandes productores mexicanos de esta 'nueva ola' y ya no tan nueva afincada por los mejores países europeos, en este caso Francia.  Oscar Sanchez aka Leonor, con referencias en labels como Tom Tom Disco, Sinchi o Nein Records, apuesta esta vez por un ep cargado de guitarras despampanantes y lloronas, bajos distorsionados y sintesis espacial que me evoca al kraut mas actual.

PREMIERE: Leonor - Zor (Original Mix) [Playground Records] (2019)

Mouniche

He may be a new name within the Madrid and European scene, but Julián García-Reyes’s links with music in his native Chile have been strong for the past 15 years. Coming from a family with a long heritage in radio, he led one at an early age – Horizonte, an FM station that had a deep impact on local young generations through its carefully curated alternative music selection. He also extended that influence into the online era, with a sister station called Rinoceronte.

Living in Madrid for the past two years, and since then retired from mass media, Julian decided to fulfil one big pending challenge in his life and learn how to produce his very own musical ideas. And with years specializing in house and disco, and later on, in psychedelic chuggy beats, he crafted a style that fits seamlessly within the current dark disco scene.

Released by Emerald & Doreen, one of our most favourite and dearest labels, “Sideral” is JGR’s debut EP, and through its three original songs, he showcases that deeper sound of his spectrum, complete with different layers of space and futuristic elements. “Avalancha” is a beautiful space-themed tune with a hooky bassline, exquisite pads and resonant synth layers.

The album artwork is a showing of great multi-disciplinary collaboration from his native Chile – with work from talented photographer José Moraga and designer Sergio Andrade.

Special credits to Balam (Argentina) for the mastering.

Thomass Jackson Feat. Beyou - Stillness Of Mind (Roe Deers Remix)

Imagine a compilation featuring tracks by Two Mamarrachos, Azaria (SXDNS076), Daniel Monaco (SXDNS137) & Futuristant, Lebollet (RASTROLIVE004), Colossio (SXDNS025), Alvaro Cabana (RASTROLIVE003) & Silicodisco, Alvee & Javier Martínez (SXDNS104), Telesketch, JackWasFaster, Zakmina and other great artists… it would be a dream, wouldn’t it? Giant Madrid-based label Rotten City made this dream come true. Their next release amassed 17 beautiful themes by a consequential team of producers that spared no efforts to deliver one of the best releases of the year so far.

The title we were given to premiere, “Novel”, brings Zakmina at his best. The acclaimed Lithuanian artist proves one more time why he is one of the most respected producers of his generation amid the Dark Disco/Indie Dance scene. For his contribution to “Rotten Citizens Vol.4”, Zak dressed up some retro outfit and aligned energetic arpeggiated synth layers resulting in one of the lustiest tunes of the compilation. Label boss Alvaro Cabana must have been incredibly happy with the result. And he is not the only one.
