Highly influenced by early 1980’s electronic music and classic 90's trance, Emilio Van Rijsel from Lille, France, debuts on Italo Moderni with energetic Moroder-esque propelling bass lines next to epic synth patterns and hypnotic sounds. With “Tendre Furie EP”, Emlio van Rijsel offers a glimpse of the wide array of his influences, embarking us on a synthful romantic & melancholic journey, depicting the nostalgia of missed blissful raving nights. Without a doubt, Italo Moderni bets on this great artist who has a very promising future on the dancefloors.
Remixes duties fall to Raw Union man St. Theodore, who replaces those italo trance flourishes with the strobe-lit pulse of Giallo and master producer Daniel Monaco the layers of well-informed 80s synth wave sends us into another dimension with high energy vibes.

INCOMING : Stockholm Syndrome - Liberty & Pursuit (Chinaski Remix) #CriticalMonday

10 - Doctr - Hour Of The Flower Power

Let's go on a trip through the Bizzarro Universe.

The Hamburg-based producer couple Bizzarro Universe is back on Verflixt Music for their third release. "Speed of Light" is a perfect rollin’ space track. The Bizzarros prove their sense for the dancefloor with a track for the peak time. Keeping the Italo vibes, they delight an uncompromising piece. The female robotic voice in the breaks lets no clue, that you're on a flight through space & time, and the drop comes in like your spaceship hits Speed of Light: Powerful and with a Big Bang.
  
Remix action comes from Louis de Tomaso (Ritmo Fatale) and David Body (Melopee Records, Exploited). Louis gives us a more trancy vision, with slightly 90s influences and those synth melodies he likes. David delivers a more Italo House version with a softer piano synth, perfect for the late summer! 

Smile on your lips; the space party continues!

Karassimeon - Discoteca Oscura [RF016]

Get it now on ritmofatale.bandcamp.com & fanlink.to/ritmofatale16

Following his initial dark tribute to French Touch ‘Nightmare Disco’, we are beyond excited to welcome Karassimeon’s first full-fledged EP ‘Discoteca Oscura’ on Ritmo Fatale. 

Karassimeon’s unique sound embodies his conflicting obsessions : disco, EBM and dystopian movie scores. 

The ‘Discoteca Oscura’ is his imaginary representation of a dark club, somewhere between Berlin and Hell, where soulless creatures dance to martial rhythms infused with italo, synthwave & disco. 

Cabaret Mortel blends acid beats, disco stabs and haunting synth bass sequences. Karassimeon’s intention was to bring cinematic tension to the dancefloor, using some of his favorite weapons : TB-303, breakbeat samples, Juno 106 & the evil Pro-One 

Messa Nera is Karassimeon’s Italo manifesto. Inspired by the early 80s sound, with some Moroder-esque touches, this track depicts a dystopian world, where dancers gather in black masses, away from the secular world. 

Rendez-vous comes from an early encounter with Claude Lelouch’s short film “C’était un rendez-vous” from 1976. This short has been an obsession for years, and the pandemic was the right context for Karassimeon : locked for days in his studio, studying his gear and listening to his favorite movie scores all day long. The track has been mostly produced with his oldest hardware : a MK1 Korg MS20 coupled with an overdriven RE-201 Space Echo, a dusty Oberheim DX, as well as his beloved Juno-106 and Solina. 

Most of all, this production is a tribute to the composers who often teamed up with Claude Lelouch, such as Francis Lai. 

And to wrap all this up, who else could illustrate this ode to the Giallo era better than the master Eric Adrian Lee ! 

The American artist is behind most of Giallo Disco’s artworks, the number one label who’s bringing this sound and imagery to the dancefloor. It’s a true honor for us to finally work with him on this particular release. Now the Giallo incantation is complete. Let the ritual begin.

Tomtron Releases Emotional Debut Single "Unbreakable" on City of Drums Black Label Melodic House & Techno takes on a powerful new form with "Unbreakable", the debut release from Tomtron on City of Drums Black Label. More than just a track—this is a statement. A deep, driving journey of resilience, pain, and ultimate strength, "Unbreakable" delivers hypnotic beats and soaring melodies that speak directly to the soul. 
Behind every great track is a story—and Tomtron’s is one of struggle, disappointment, and, above all, persistence. After years marked by setbacks, false promises, and personal heartbreaks, many expected him to walk away from music altogether. But instead of fading away, Tomtron made a vow: “Now more than ever. I won’t give up. I am Unbreakable.”
This track is his message to everyone who doubted him. A melodic middle finger to every closed door and missed chance. With lush synth layers, dark techno energy, and a drop that hits like defiance itself, "Unbreakable" is Tomtron’s way of turning pain into power.
"Unbreakable" stands as an anthem for anyone who’s ever been told to quit. It's for the dreamers who’ve been knocked down but never out. With its dynamic progression, emotional textures, and relentless pulse, this track bridges the intimate and the intense—perfect for both late-night club sets and headphone journeys. Out Now on City of Drums Black Label
City of Drums Black Label proudly welcomes Tomtron into the family with this powerful debut. "Unbreakable" is not just another melodic techno release—it’s a rebirth.
