Seasoned and skilled producer Paco Buggin aka Silicodisco is back to French label Critical Monday! After appearing on Chapters 6, being remixed by Rigopolar, and 10, remixing Etane, this time he partners with Espacio Cielo’s big boss, Parissior (SXDNS206/FREEDL043), to deliver a vital EP for the Dark Disco/Indie Dance lovers out there. The Chapter 13 also brings two imposing remixes by Italian stallion Fabrizio Mammarella and Spanish virtuoso Alex Medina.

The first collaboration between Silicodisco & Parissior happened when Paco, in partnership with Xácome (Rastro Live), made his debut on Espacio Cielo last year. On the occasion, Parissior remixed one of the tracks. A little bit afterwards, the duo delivered a stunning EP on the rising imprint Banshees Records, featuring a solid remix by Kendal. Now on Critical (and hopefully somewhere else very soon), they repeat the formula of combining their darkest & gloomiest influences to bring to life two hellish original cuts. 

The track we were solicited to premiere is undoubtedly one of the best pieces the fruitful alliance has delivered so far. Combining the stamina of Hi-NRG with the attitude of EBM blended with shards of Techno, “Confessions” is one of those themes devoted to triggering frenzied reactions on the dance floor.

PREMIERE331 // Silicodisco & Parissior - Confessions (Original Mix)

One of the compilations of 2023 Curses' Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX saw the Berlin-based Musician and DJ explore the darker side of club music. Bringing together 49 tracks that joined the dots between early industrial pioneers, EBM legends and post-punk bands with some of the most exciting artists around today this was a celebration of the kind of raw electronic music best performed live in smoke filled clubs.

One might suspect that between this and the first equally acclaimed, and substantial, Next Wave Acid Punx album clubland's gothic vaults might be eerily empty. But, just as every good live act knows, you should hold something special back for an encore, and so Curses is back with Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX - Secret Cuts, 11 bonus tracks that all deserve their own moment in the strobe light.

"Curating Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX was a big puzzle," explains Curses. "Figuring out how to fit all these tracks across 6 different 12"s required a lot of calculations and, to be quite frank, I was never that great at maths. Unfortunately this meant we had to cut some real heaters off of DEUX. But Eskimo and I decided that we couldn't let these gems go to dust. I've been DJing them loads in my sets, so it was only fair to share them with y’all to DJ and rage to yourselves. So, here it is... the final blast of bonus tracks for Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX: Secret Cuts."

Featuring the likes of Ghost Cop, Paresse, Nuovo Testamento, You Man, plus a new Curses track and Redux version, Secret Cuts is a worthy companion piece, packed full of the kind of jagged synths, jackhammer kickdrums, heavily gated snares and punk attitude that saw Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX named a BBC 6 Music compilation of the week, score a perfect 10 from Faze Mag and go straight in the record bag of every DJ that appreciates the darker things in life.

Curses - The Deep End (Redux)

First release of 2024 on Fucanglong Files comes by the hand of Berlin's newcomer Zee Mon.

He delivers a 3 original track ep filled with ebm & new beat inspired music.
Heavy basslines, strong snares, raw synths and some vocal hints are some of the things you will listen.

And to make it even better we have 3 huge remixes.

Luca Venezia aka Curses delivers a heavier and acid version of You Better Don't. Imagine making that piano stabs even bigger, well Curses nailed it.

Then Moonoton takes the club cut What Comes Next and enhances it with a more club-oriented rendition. Pure heat!

Last but not least, our dear Jorkes reworks Ruina Rodeo and creates a new atmosphere and electro version of it. On top of that he adds a fantastic spanish vocal, as the artists explains it "yearning for a daddy to caress me". 
A lot of feeling poured into this one.

A fluid journey through rhythm and texture, where sound drifts like liquid stone—fragile yet eternal. Pulses rise and dissolve into veined patterns of colour, carrying the listener into a dreamscape where time unravels and reality bends.

Recall IV - Contrast (Facets Edit)

Amongst the open armed greetings, excited laughter and lively chatter, she couldn't quite find her footing. It was as if there was an invisible wall she couldn't break down. She could hear everyone else but the words to respond weren't coming to her. How could it be that even surrounded by a room full of friendly faces and old friends, she felt isolated and alone... 

After a brief release hiatus during lockdown, East London party and label Snap, Crackle & Pop get things rolling again with an EP from cult Glaswegian post punk group Junto Club. Marking their second release for SC&P following 2016's Shiviana / Ikiryo EP which helped launch the imprint, The Alameda sees the band build on their distinct sound, crafting a more dance-floor focused sound by letting the synths and drum machines do the talking. On the flip, both tracks get the rework treatment from Gabe Gurnsey and Groove Armada remixer Fall Forward and longtime SC&P collaborator, Ombra International boss Curses, who steers 'Alone' into darker realms with a punchy, driving techno take on the original.
