Pinkman Store Takeover - 01

Has Argentina become the land that manufactures great electronic music and footballers? We’d say yesss.
Mystery Friend is one half of Romance Layers along with his partner Gala; the Buenos Aires power duo whose music has been creeping into our ears for some time now. First spotted during a live performance for the iconic Nation Imprint festivities, we needed to know more about them.

At 23 year of age, Mystery Friend works his machines in ways that transport the listener back to the golden era of Chicago house  ’til you come to the realization that it’s fresh, out-of-the oven music. No re-inventing of the wheel necessary here; mystery friend simply makes modern house music done right. Catchy spanish lyrics add extra fuel to the mix and leave you wondering why it took so long for a latin cat to tap into this realm.


Mystery friend put out an EP recently and is fire. Don’t be shy to take a listen and share the love.

"Focusing on razor-edged techno pop, bleepy drum machine minimalism and homemade synth experiments, ['80s UCC Vol.2'] takes a global view of the 80s tape underground...saturated in a vibrant layer of multicoloured DIY ambition. But this compilation is more than a nostalgia-fuelled expansion of the archive. It bends chronologies, suggesting that A didn’t necessarily follow B in the way it’s usually assumed. A snap-shot full of surprise precursors, heroic outliers and yet to be realised possibilities." - The Quietus

"Brilliant" - Tom Ravenscroft (BBC RADIO 6 MUSIC)

"From the lurching misanthropic menace of Years On Earth to the static drum machine robo funk of M Rendell, from the dark proto-House, monochrome industrial work out of Pornosect to the primitive sample-punk of Ob Ovo, these mutants all made music brimming with life and vim under the layer of culture and reality that was the mainstream in the 80s. Think Cabaret Voltairish experimentation, sub-Fad Gadget desperation, burbling radiophonic synth tones smothering grooves, these coldest of waves and most clanging of industrial tones represent a tip or a trough of an iceberg or valley of endless invention from the decade that refuses to die." - Monorail

"Listeners with insight into the subterranean 1980s might gather they have a handle on what 80s Underground Cassette Culture Volume 2 has in store, but a mere spin of the sides reveals the contents to be more expansive than one might expect...and even better, all the cuts have been fully licensed from the artists, making this a stand-up undertaking all-around.

80s Underground Cassette Culture: Volume 2

80s Underground Cassette Culture: Volume 2 - Double LP - PREVIEW

Back to school. Autumn comes right on time, sharply. Great time to share a delightful conversation with Egl&edot; Naujokaityt&edot; &ndash; Muk, DJ &amp; musician living in between the continents of Europe and South America. You might also know Egl&edot; from the wild &bdquo;Verslo Rizikos Rezervas&ldquo; music project or as Musetteandrums. She is an art scene figure, known and appreciated by several generations already - those who are coming from alternative underground culture, dance music world, radio communities, those who are contemporary art scene dwellers. We look at the current affairs and enjoy Egl&edot;&lsquo;s point of view.

Pre-order via Bandcamp : https://osare-editions.bandcamp.com/album/oe-017-novo-line-zeit

Novo Line – aka Berlin's algorave maestro Nat Fowler – delivers a noisy, ultramarine voyage into the depths of his archaic hardware. Clawing at the periphery between leftfield electronics and avant-garde pop, Zeit is an entirely new sonic universe, eerily familiar yet utterly uncharted. A visionary synthesist, Fowler is renowned for his productions that make use of mainly '80s equipment including vintage digital synths, discarded MIDI Hi-Tech, tape delay and even an ancient Atari ST computer. But, despite the aged technology, the result is far from nostalgic.

'Ain't That a Mess' slams in with Monica Kremidi's crooning à la Little Annie Anxiety with reeving car engines and guitar-rock static fed through a pan effect. Multilayered melodies soar on 'Stein', the pounding drums matched by gliding strings, crafting that holy grail of cavernous, booming textures and uplifting euphoria that mark out the most transcendent of rave tracks. The deceptively gentle opening bars of 'Morning Star' are interrupted by a viscously squelching bassline, Cass McCombs' vocals dancing deliciously with the raw beat.

Rejecting contemporary tech-fetishism, Novo Line has a near-supernatural ability to exorcise novel sequences, weaving together a record that speaks to the ghost in the machine.

[ OE 017 ] Novo Line - Zeit (snippets)

First mix of the year coming from Conor Thomas.

Conor is a member of Boomkat, one of the best vinyl stores worldwide, and the co-founder of Death Of Rave, a label that counts around 50 raw and without any limitation releases. He has been spinning records like a maniac, writing the best “verses”about the music that he digs and hell yeah... he is an amazing selector! The mix is 87-92 UK electro, Latin freestyle, Belgian new beat and early NYC/Euro techno/Proto Goa T sound which he truly loves and kinda follows on from a volume of mixtapes for Reel Torque. Recorded in one take, vinyl-only, in a smoky gooch of Whalley Range... janky bits included.


as he said 
"s/o all my Greek homies, TWH, P13, Anna G - anyone who’s hosted me on a sofa gassing about new beat at 8am. “
Press play and Enjoy!
