Release : 16th April 2021

Foule Contact is about freeing ourselves from barriers and finding ourselves together, through music in its more profound way. Going from the virtual world to real-life and connect all together in each and every one of those tracks. Foule Contact is the idea that the current atmosphere won’t last forever, and that we already expect our reunion, cradled with tenderness and all the energy accumulated over the last few months.
This compilation is about 15 eclectic and danceable tracks. Gathering a broad spectrum of genres that animate us, from House to Italo-Disco, Afro cosmic or Leftfield.

Running Hot, is the story of two skilled and curious diggers with a tremendous and niche musical knowledge. Their track is freeing itself from the “genre” concept, and is built on a downtempo core combined with Bhangra and Hip House vibes.

Foule Contact vol.01

Premiere: Running Hot - Mahiya Ve (ReHeat)

She knew a thing or two about suffering; in fact she could probably write a whole book about it. All the cliches had been thrown her way: 'every cloud has a silver lining', 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger', 'when one door closes, another door opens' and so on... She'd learnt to smile and nod, rather than retort with sarcasm. That said, with each strike or set back there had always been an evaluation, a lesson or a coping mechanism she'd take away and apply to the next situation.

As a way of connecting cities and artists during lockdown, Offenbach's Live At Robert Johnson and Leipzig’s Riotvan have joined forces for a new collaborative release, 'PLAYRVN001'. Made up of five tracks that link up two artists, the EP gives us a window into the sonic foundations of each imprint and the synergy between them both. Collaborations come from Roman Flügel & Rebolledo, Jennifer Touch & Chinaski, New Hook and Perel, Fort Romeau & Panthera Krause and Horkheimer & Peter Invasion & Gregor Habicht, spanning everything from synth pop to cosmic disco, breakbeat and Italo.

INCOMING : Vague D'azur - Nuit D'ivresse (Valerj  Midnight Love  Remix) #FromDiscoToDisko

Release date : 2021-07-16

Buy : https://fromdiscotodisko.bandcamp.com/album/vague-dazur-nuit-divresse-valerj-midnight-love-remix

Italo, edits, dark disco, in the space of a little more than two years the small Bastia-based label "From disco to disko" has managed to offer its own vision of electronic music in Corsica.

On this new release, a remix of the track "Nuit d'ivresse" by the pop duo "Vague d'azur", FDTD offer a story of encounter. The meeting of Rose's sweet lyrics and Olivier's flamboyant guitars, the meeting of soft French pop and dreamy synthetic layers, the meeting of the burning sun setting over the Mediterranean sea on a summer evening. In this reinterpretation called "Midnight Love", Valerj offers us a new vision of this story: an electronic, haunting approach, where dark and bewitching glances meet under the acidic lights of a starry dancefloor."

INCOMING : Belaria - Burning Inside (12" Version) #Friendsome
Buy : https://belaria.bandcamp.com/album/boost-doubts
Release date : 2022-07-17

Friendsome Records and Belaria are delighted to present to you her debut EP Boost & Doubts. After only 2 singles and a remix out to date, that launched a very promising career, the young ‘home grown’ prodigy has produced this beautiful 4 tracker to take you on a retro-minimal journey of heavy beats and melodic synth.
Oscillating between Dark-Disco, Italo and Synth-Wave, you will start and end with the 2 dancefloor oriented tracks Boost and Esteem (A1 & B2). They won’t let the crowd stand steel for sure ! In the middle of this find Rest In B (A2), a more poppy track that can remind you of good old tunes by Chloé or Peaches, as well as Burning Inside (B1) a more down tempo intimate song that could suit perfectly during your road trip in the countryside. 
Enjoy your journey !

INCOMING : Belaria - Burning Inside (12" Version) #Friendsome

One of Stockholm’s finest exports, Elfenberg arrive at Bordello with four slices of synthesizer goodness. The duo open with “Forever Alone”. A cruising arpeggiator steers its way through glistening snares, rolling kicks and classic italo vocals. Night falls in the jungle “Conga Coronation”. The treetops bristle with birdsong, thickets of bongos, toms and rain sticks lead a path to dawning melodies. A wonderfully textured percussive piece, the track is intricately carved and demonstrates the diversity and depth of Elfenberg. The disco dipped futurism of “Sphere Of Missing Out” follows. Echoes of “Conga Coronation” rhythms are countered by beaming synth bars and vocoder lyrics with the Swedish pair pushing for the floor. “Cosmic Tribune” is the curtain close. Astral chords, spiralling key shifts and incising drums coalesce in this space inspired finale. A truly stunning debut from this talented partnership.

Forever Alone

PREMIERE: Elfenberg - Conga Coronation

' Next up on our ‘A UFO’ free edit series is Radondo’s rework of Art Fine’s arcane Italo gem ‘Dark Silence’. Careful to retain the original’s elusive energy, he re-arranges the track's structure to focus on the dark, stormy lows.
 Building to the infectious synth line of the original, Radondo incorporates a few of his signature atmospheric tones and synth arps, culminating in a respectful homage to the brilliant ‘Dark Silence’. '

Paloven - World Eater

Real Velour's debut EP on Blaq Numbers comes to us from an unknown source in the early eighties. Its playful melodies and disco drum machines could be from mainland Europe, it's strange synth textures could be Japanese whilst its sardonic vocals could be from a post-industrial town in Thatcher's Britain; we just don't know.

What we do know is that in spite of its retro sound pallete, each track sounds fresh on any 21st century dancefloor. There is something indefinably new about these tracks; similar perhaps to the indefinable "Britishness" of 10cc in spite of their American accents and West Coast influences or the way Billy Childish somehow managed to make rock n roll sound alive again without changing it in any observable way.

Simply put: these are yesterday's sounds, tomorrow.

And who better to hold Real Velour's hand as he tries to navigate this strange retro-future than his two favourite sexy disco daddies, Donald Dust and Panthera Krause? Donald Dust's remagining of the title track on Spaceship In Tokyo puts us in New York territory, rendering it less angular, less Teutonic. There are shades of LCD Soundsystem, the Peech Boys and other artists from the Mutant Disco/No Wave scene whilst Panthera Krause's wild reinterpretation of the single, People Make Me Wanna Scream, is a fruity cocktail of freaky contradictions. Metallic and industrial rhythms blend perfectly with haunting synth pop textures. Panthera Krause finds the ghost in the machine and makes it dance!

The whole EP throbs with uninhibited glee. There is no coyness to be found here toward those genres that sometimes find themselves locked outside the fortress of "serious" dance music. While some techno bros gingerly dabble with Italo, Hi-NRG or J-Pop textures in some restrained, tasteful way as if to say "I like it... but I'm straight!", Real Velour jumps in with both feet.

This music is elegant without being aloof, playful without being ephemeral and it never abandons its primary objective - to make you dance!

Kraftwerk - Musique Non Stop (SIZE M Remix)

@747
From XLR8R:

"Late last month, Canadian label Aquaregia launched The Paleo Series, a "four part project that explores the geological past of our planet through acid."

First up, young Vancouver artist 747 delivers two acid-soaked cuts that invite the listener into his intriguing sonic world. From the warm pads and dubbed-out relaxed chords of "Cretaceous" to the ritualistic rhythms and acidic swells of "Cambrian," 747 delivers an accomplished EP that proves he is one to watch in the coming years."

Paleo Pt 1 EP

747 - Cretaceous (XLR8ing Through Space Mix)

Skatebård - The Bells Of Mist

Ara Koufax (Sam Gill and Luke Neher) have made music and videos together in Melbourne, Australia for over a decade.

Their latest EP follows a string of two-track releases through Cutters Records, CSCN and Fort Romeau's Cin Cin imprint.

'Sweet Pitch' forgoes utilitarian club tracks. Instead, facsimiles of techno, fake trance, uncanny-valley breaks, shuffles, and disembodied voices find their home in a spacious ambient soundscape. It's a compilation of music that never happened.
