ROBI INSINNA – HARD WORK [INDUSTRIA]
Format: Vinyl
Cat No: IND001

Hard Work is the first release on Industria, Robi Insinna’s brand new project label.

Back in 2001 Robi Insinna founded the seminal Relish label in direct response to a thendominant sound in club music. Its catalogue is as vast as it is varied and foreshadowing the music he'd go on to make himself under Headman/Manhead. Fast forward to 2018 and after more than a decade he's on the move again launching new Project label, Industria with 'not quite an album, not quite an EP, Hard Work. Robi felt there was no reason to split projects the way he did with his aliases and as such the debut will be released under Robi's own name.

Industria will be focused more on vinyl releases, but not solely vinyl. The project will encompass all area's of Robi's work and ties together elements of his art and visual design projects. This release is limited to 200 copies, 50 of them will feature a special Artwork, that will be sold in
selected places.

Merging Robi's disco leanings with an opiate smooth, stoned groove the title track Hard Work opens proceedings and heads immediately for the dancefloor dragging its hushed vocals and skewed guitar line kicking and screaming with it. The dub rolls in next further stretching and twisting the guitar and giving the rhythm more space to swing. It most of all draws from the sense of outsider-disco fun, with the sound of stuttering percussion, a wry smile, and a knowing wink running throughout. Düsseldorf Krautrockers Die Wilde Jagd take over remix duties on the third track of the A side and cast Hard Work off into unfamiliar and experimental territory, using bright synth splashes,
squashed vocal samples and a pulsing rhythm to wrestle the groove and growling sense of menace out of the track.
Side 2 kicks things off with Some Believe coming to life with arpeggio'd synth shapes and brutish drums. The overall feel, however, suggests considerable care and attention has been paid to make it sound this way. There's clearly an uncommon musicality at play here to make something this complex feel so simple. The BPM drops next on The Kiss but from the offset, there's enough funk and thrust in the
motorised synth line to get bodies gently grooving without the beauty getting lost in the slower
loop. A dramatic bass leads and a xylophone playing a nervous but euphoric melody follows. It's glassy mallets pinging atop the warm electronics creating a fresh groove. Closing track Oct17 rounds off the record and puts an ever more personal spin on retro analogue
sounds with synths and drummachines . A razor-sharp snare fires against the bassline and what sounds like a sliced vocal loop before these elements settle into a more measured thrust with the
undulating synth tones offset by funkier ingredients. This is a record that doesn't have its eyes fixed on past glories but references all the element that made Robi's previous work so special. Hard Work sounds like it's here to freshen up 2018. It's music that leaves scorch marks and smoulders. It is the sound of our very own, very recent times.

The Spanish label Logical Records has a trajectory in releasing fresh and innovative music that goes back in history almost ten years. For their next release, one of the label’s bosses, Ivan De La Rouch, teams up with Local DJ/Producer Mike Sacchetti to bring to life STAGES EP, a very special piece composed on two sides (A and B). The two of them became friends at Cafe Berlin in one of the editions of Switch, a chug disco, EBM, Dark Disco party promoted by Mike in Madrid.

STAGES combines a very diverse set of sounds, which will take you on a journey through dark disco – listen out for EBM tweaks and sublime guitar riffs. The track we chose to premiere comes from the B Side: "Hammer", remixed by Nein Records boss Tronik Youth, brings acid lines combined with mighty guitar riffs and metallic percussions. If you are familiar with Tronik’s work, you’ll notice he spared none of his characteristic trademarks. His interpretation is definitely one of the highlights of the EP that also brings collaborations from other artists such as Mufti, Moo Moonster and Logical’s co-owner Javier Busto.

Special credits to Carlos Calderón from Rec Division Studios (Madrid) for the mastering.

Celestino - Infinite Improbability Drive [Nuff]

The sounds of Norway are back with us as Karl Fraunhofer (now going under Karl F) drops an E.P. of insane sounds...if you was after something that ticks the 'acid house-warehouse rave-arcade machine soundtrack' boxes then this is the E.P. you've been looking for.

Title track Altered Beats is one of the most unique things we've ever heard, pumping, broken beat, acid rave style vibes leads into a monster chug drop with insane synth work throughout.

Future Express retains the uniqueness and goes straight in for the italo/cosmic vibe with a stunning breakdown that is straight out of Streets Of Rage but with added whallop & thud...this has got to be heard to be believed.

Timothy Clerking teams up with Massey to deliver a warp factor peak time acid slammer rework of Altered Beats whilst Karl's fellow country men Rolf Royce & Oddvar Bråk tackle Future Express and drizzle it in that cool unique Norwegian charm with the result being an almost hi-nrg Norwegian Disco makeover...mega!

Our next PREMIERE comes from DAN WAINWRIGHT!! 

The track "A Blessing" is part of the "Rituals" EP which is being released on Night Noise at the end of the week and is a nice rolling Techno / House banger!!

TURN IT UP LOUD!!

A little about the release:

UK talent Dan Wainwright drops ‘Rituals’, a three track offering of mutant disco sounds on Night Noise Music backed with a remix from Joe Morris, this June. 

With a catalogue that takes in edits for To Rack and Ruin and Creative Use as well as singles for the likes of Hungarian Hot Wax and Through God’s Own Eyes, Wainwright is steadily becoming a must-check for those who enjoy lower tempo nightclub sounds of a discoid nature and this EP, already given ALFOS approval by Sean Johnston, shows why.

Opening with the anthemic ‘Raindance’, a growling groover characterised with bright, evolving synth hooks and tight delays which culminates in balearic guitar bliss, ‘Rituals’ is a winner straight out of the traps. ‘A Blessing’, a slightly moodier, heads down tunneller follows with a distinctly housey vibe while ‘Ceremony’ treads an altogether headier path with dense layering giving way to ethereal vocals and a punchy, nagging bassline. 

Joe Morris’ Dubwise remix of ‘Rain Dance’ closes out the package in, as the title suggests, nifty dubbed out style.
