Romantic Fiction - the debut LP from Curses - is an honest musical expression drawing influences from his youth growing up in NYC in the 80s. References to new wave, post-punk, synth music and early EBM are skillfully merged with the DIY approach of punk and rock n roll angst. Brandishing an immersive sonic palette, all instruments throughout the album were played and recorded by the artist.
Exhausted by the current state of competitive dance music monotony, Romantic Fiction is a collection of songs, not DJ tools: songs that work at home, but also in the club should the right crowd beckon.
It’s about escapism and finding comfort in the unknown, fulfilling the empty void by embracing the mysterious. Darkness is a light undiscovered, not something to be frightened of.
Curses also invites friends who share a mutual love for incorporating post punk and new wave into contemporary electronic music. Perel delivers mighty Nina Hagen-esque operatic punk vocals on the first single, 'Gold & Silber', whilst Dischi Autunno label boss Jennifer Cardini and Curses share a duet on the cold wave silk of 'Silence In The Dark'.
As an amalgamation of influences from multiple decades, Romantic Fiction is a deeply personal album, triggering a feeling that is unnerving at times, familiar and welcoming at others.

Cabaret Nocturne is back for his third EP on Join Our Club, and we think it is another perfect lesson in low-slung techno. First out the blocks is Hidden Gate; with its melodic synths this has hints of Balearic sunshine, but still with Cabaret Nocturne’s signature broody bassline. Outlaw Knight twists the release into almost proto breaks territory, a real curveball. 

Lizards complete the package with their signature pulsing and melancholy sound. 

About Join Our Club
Launched in 2011 by PEOPLE GET REAL, their label Join Our Club (the name borrowed from the Saint Etienne double A-Side that they also took their name from) has steadily gained a reputation for quality releases from both new artists, and bringing something new and unexpected from more established names, this has led to support from many of the world’s top DJs.

Xenia Beliayeva - High Expectations
Release Date: January 18/2018
Catalog No: MAN230
Label: Manual Music

manual-music.lnk.to/MAN230

High Expectations’ is the first single from Xenia Beliayeva's forthcoming artist album ‚Riss‘.
The long awaited- and highly anticipated follow up to her 2010 debut LP 'Ever Since' which appeared on T. Raumschmiere's Shitkatapult label.

The industry veteran has built up an impressive discography, releasing her music on labels like Datapunk, Different, Systematic and Einmusika to name a few and collaborating with artists such as Dubfire, Oliver Huntemann, Miss Kittin and Marc DePulse.

Her devotees are not only hailing from electronic club land but feeling at home in the darker, kind of goth-flavored areas as well as in synth- and non-mainstream pop.
Areas Xenia Beliayeva is not afraid of to explore which you can clearly hear while listening to 'High Expectations', which sounds retro poppy- and sophisticated electronic at the same time.

On remix duties we see Sid Le Rock who delights us with a dark, gritty and moody interpretation of 'Noir', one of the songs that will be featured on the forthcoming album.
The Canadian artist hardly needs introduction with his previous work for Kompakt, Mute, Areal, Beachcoma and My Favorite Robot. So you know what to expect!

'High Expectations' is the first of two singles that will be released before the 'Riss' album will see the light of day in March 2018. Keep an eye out- and an ear open for it!

Written and produced by Xenia Beliayeva & André Winter
