Spaniard Javi Redondo makes an appearance on the superb Meant label with a new offering of tracks that come complete with remixes from Bohemian Groove and Get A Room.

Javi has been DJing for more than 15 years but his production career is in its relative infancy, yet he has already impressed with his fresh musical perspective with a few tracks already released by a couple of recognized labels.

Meanwhile Remain’s Meant label has long established itself as a contemporary outlet for credible electronic sounds releasing music from the likes of Vosper, Rework, Alien Alien and Remain himself.

The opener and title track is a perfect slice of slo-mo electronica with a grungy and psychedelic flavor brought on by dirty guitar friffs and gringing drums that set a dark post apocalyptic tone. Shadowy vocals and noir synth lines bring plenty of menace to this rough analogue anthem.

Bohemian Groove turn in a remix that is a little more electric and club ready, its still a moody affair with explosive synths and occult voices lurking in the shadows, but this one is also married to a more direct and driving tech house groove.

‘Motorway’ is, as the title hints, a classic bit of motoric house with a rolling guitar played bass line, crisp boom bap snares and plenty of dark wave synth and guitar lines that conjure thoughts of DJ greats like Andrew Weatherall and Ewan Pearson. It’s slick and gliding at the same time as being delightfully angsty.

Get A Room! Appear on remix duties and add in vocal traffic report musings, more disco styled synths but also slow down the groove and allow it to spit and kick a bit more roughly than the streamlined original.

If you buy the release digitally you also get ‘No Cool Night’, which is a gurgling, dystopian bonus track with blurting synths, malfunctioning machines and menacing moods all pervading from start to finish.

This is an arresting EP of well made, perfectly analogue electronic music that takes it cues from indie as much as techno and excels as a result.

A2 - Javi Redondo - Lectures To Young Men (Bohemian Groove Remix)

For the final release in the first series of Especial, the label takes a detour across the
Atlantic to San Francisco and latter-day synth / experimentalists INHALT for something
a bit special: remixing 4 original tracks from their Occupations EP on Dark Entries that
bring them into the label’s musical aesthetic.

With an EP already on Dark Entries, plus a release included on the inspiring World Unknown label, Occupations showed a progression in INHALT’s music to capture the sound of moderne electronique. Synth / Cold / Dark Wave, whatever the tag, this West Coast trio produce a clean, driven, electronic sound of their own, backed with the unique voice of Phillip Winiger.

When approached by mutual friend George Thompson aka Black Merlin, who, alongside US duo VALIS, had been commissioned to do remixes, Especial jumped at the chance to pick up the chalice and pass it to label friends and arc-remixers de jour Timothy J
Fairplay and Scott Fraser.

The result is a remix EP that celebrates the ideas of Especial: to take influences of 80s New Wave, Synth Pop, Electro, Proto-House and the occassioanl touch of Disco and hold them into an up-to-date vision that respects but runs parellel to the modern obsession with all things House and forges it’s own way.

The “Frankie Says” hymn of Black Merlin’s remix sets the tone beautifully, before swatted
by the bass electro retake of VALIS. TJF dons his hip slung bass for another inspired epic,
before Glasgow’s answer to Dopplereffekt, Mr Fraser, spews hissing hats and electro
beats to close an EP that is aimed at one place - dark dance floors.

Bleeping Sauce is the new live band project from esteemed Minus and Items&Things duo CLICK BOX who have teamed up with the highly talented Eli Iwasa & Marcos Taga. Presented here is a new EP from them on Meant that showcases their dynamic sound, it comes with three original tracks and a set of tasty remixes by Remote, Matt Walsh and Villanova.
Brazilians Marco A.S and Pedro Turra have been on top of the techno and minimal worlds since 2006 thanks to their inventive and abstract sounds on only the finest labels. This new project shows they have another feather to their bow and sees them explore a sinewy, lovably machine made sound.
‘Sounds and Stories’ goes first and is a space-age bit of dark wave tech funk with layers of gurgling synths, stark drums and a cool female vocal that adds tons of punk attitude to proceedings. Ivan Smagghe or Andrew Weatherall would lap this sort of tune up with its gothic disco vibes. ‘Set Time’ is another great bit of dark and dirty disco with searching synths, apocalyptic atmospheres and purposeful, live sounding drums. It squeals and shoots in many different directions at once as a corrugated bassline ties the whole thing together. Then comes ‘Cherry Green’ with more aloof sounding female vocals, 80s dark wave drums and rubbery guitar lines. It’s a fine bit of work that sounds like little else out there and is beautifully sombre in mood.
First remixer Remote is a musical duo made up of Eric Guillanton and Seb Fouble, a pair recognized as one of the figureheads of the French electro scene. Their take on ‘Cherry Green’ is a filthy dirty, scuzzy and serrated synth laden slo-mo electro track that will send the ‘floor into raptures.
Next up is Matt Walsh, the Brit famed for being a unique sonic craftsmen who often DJs with Daniel Avery, is a Bugged Out regular and releases on Turbo and Phantasy Sound. His take on ‘Sounds and Stories’ is a moody late night affair with dazzling synth stabs, cooing female vocals and swathes of lovely echo and reverb that lend the track a hazy, dreamy air.
The young duet of Parisian producers that is Villanova, of labels like No.19 Music & My Favorite Robot, goes last with a remix of ‘Cherry Green’ that is turbo charged and tumultuous with big drums, spaceship like synths, bleepy melodies and generally manic robotic charm with an anthemic female vocal line up top.
With this release MEANT introduce the world to what is sure to be an essential new project from the Click Box boys.

Lyrics: 

Darkness holds a secret
Unseen by human eye
Deep into the wastelands
Another spectral kind

The skies are burning red
The sun is bloody bright
But soon the dark will fall
Its time to raise your knife

Darkness weaves a passage
Into the other side
Another vivid nightmare
A gruesome cold disguise

The night is drawing near
The moon is rising high
Your mortal dreams now buried
Your heart filled by fright

Void Vision is a Philadelphia-based electronic project helmed by Shari Vari. It began around 2009 at a time when a wave of synth-revivalists were materializing, but the quality of the songwriting and intense vocals set the band apart from the pack. In a rare instance, Void Vision has managed to combine vintage dance elements with melodic structures, haunting melancholy, and lyrics that have a palpable soul. The songs themselves are dynamic, referencing a cross-section of the last 30 years of electronic music, while simultaneously retaining a uniqueness all their own.

Wierd Records weekly club night in New York, which showcased a variety of talented electronic and coldwave artists, served as an incubator for Void Vision in it’s early stages. After a standout debut performance at the club, they immediately caught the attention of Blind Prophet Records, who consequently released their first 7″ single, ‘In 20 Years’, which received excellent reviews.

Vari has continued performing and recording steadily over the last few years, releasing songs on compilations for various labels, including Rough Trade, and in 2012 the song ‘Everything is Fine’ was selected for Artforum magazine’s ‘Best of 2012′ issue. In 2013, Void Vision toured the West Coast and later that year released a split 12″ with Portland-based band, Vice Device. The first official full-length album, entitled ‘Sub Rosa’ is set to debut on Berlin-based Mannequin Records, followed by a European tour in 2015.

Shari Vari formed Void Vision in 2009 originally as a duo, during the explosion of the new minimal synth and cold wave scene in United States. Sharing the same scene of the Wierd Records associates like Led Er Est, Martial Canterel, Xeno & Oaklander, Automelodi, in 2010 VV released ‘In Twenty Years’ on Blind Prophet (Sean Ragon’s Cult Of Youth record label), receiving also the attention of the Rough Trade dudes, who asked to put out a track for one of their synth wave compilations.
After other split vinyls, tapes and compilations, Mannequin approached Shari with the intention to continue what Wierd Records started, giving a proper shape to her beautiful and youthful dark electronic sound. The result is 10 hypnotic cold analog tracks dominated by the warm and fragile Shari’s voice, some more “pop orientated” some others belonging to the original “cold wave” atmosphere.

“Sub Rosa” is an edition of 400 copies on 160 gram black vinyl and 100 copies on 160 gram white vinyl.

Limited silskcreen hand numbered art edition for the first 50 copies, 160 gram white vinyl.
