Mix recorded for the BBC Radio 6 Music program 'Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone'. Now streamable without radio indents for a deeper listen. The mix was aired on October 2020.

C.P.I. - Freak Zone Mix BBC 6 Radio

Format: 180 gram vinyl 12" 
Cat: DISCO SEIS 
Released: 09 Dec 13 
Genre: DETROIT

Discos Capablanca return with a record from the mysterious Detroit-based Sharif Laffrey (we know little more than his place of birth, and that he likes to ride his bike and warm weather) who brings the heat on the Turn It Up 12". Recorded in Detroit in the late 80s and released on a cassette tape compilation in 1988, the original "Turn It Up" is a long forgotten gem from the period that Electro was beginning to morph and mutate into nascent forms of Techno. Excavated by Hugo Capablanca's label, the track is presented in an edited version that stays true to the original and complemented by an Acid Dub Not Dub version that implements plenty of deranged 303 action.

Capablanca X Sounds Of Ogigia

Deep Asleep

La Guajira

Scott Young's most powerful and personal (he was actually homeless at the time of recording the title track in Berlin) effort to date. No return to the Jive disintegrates a familiar groove into digital detritus, burning down the house (genre) in the process. Homeless' disco dub is mutant and sticky, and already a hit at the best kitchen after parties. Hobo Art by Capablanca & Young. Weirdo magick.

Benji DF  - Out, In the Comfort Zone Mix

After a splendid, sought after 12” on Pyramids Of Mars, an already expensive edits split Ep with Red Axes on Edit Service and his highly original and acclaimed self released debut album “Don’t touch my sister” Rouge Mecanique delivers a stone cold classic Ep for Discos Capablanca. The psychedelic steady muscle of ‘All Will Be Changed’ aims to destroy visionary dance floors. ‘Sans Scrupules’ is the most surprising acid banger you will likely hear this year. ‘Ampedusa / Xaver’ defies description and its mutant sound could evoque ecstatic early minimal house references, kraut and concrete music. ‘Can I say’ is simply put the most elegant, languid way to say goodbye to an Ep that exudes sheer brilliance and character. Timeless applies here.

Housed in hand silkscreened sleeves with art by Capablanca, hand stamped edition of 300.

Sharif Laffrey's epic masterpiece will be soon available! 
Sharif Laffrey has been playing all over the place for 20 long hard years. Born in Detroit, Michigan - he's worked on The Line & at Submerge, toured asia with Juan Atkins and once had to chase a grown man through the streets at night after the man crawled into his living room through an open window. *He* was also once chased by a man with a knife. An active member in Detroit's early rave scene he still lives with the fear that one day someone will develop the 8mm film that was taken during some of those nights and put it on youtube. Sharif remembers booking all international gigs exclusively with something he calls a "Fax Machine" - He says there was "no internet" then. He also had a beeper (pager) and drove a Trans-Am. Not ironically. "I like Acid House." 
Sharif Laffrey realeased TURN IT UP on Discos Capablanca to massive praise, he is dealing with The Fame since then.

Sharif Laffrey - Always (snippet)

Georgy Oilovich left the dinner, disturbed and agitated. Old Believer contained a note of reproach at his heart inactivity. Having spent himself somewhat and got rather irritable, he turned from some foreign odopters to home - bred nihilists and socialists, and ended by flying into a passion. He seized a large rolleo, and beatling it in half over his krambambully plate, in the manner of the stylish bryanskian cafe ""Transe-Croques"", announced that he would tear limb from limb, reduce to ashes, all those who objected to anybody or to anything! These were his very words. ""It is Hugh time! Hugh time, ????!"" 
Meanwhile, the Serbian prince, the beloved K.F.Ingram was assassinated by some rexers in Belgrade.

CAPABLANCA 'Dance Dance Dance Dance' (Discos Capablanca 2018)

The second installment from the Lap Top Less Dance trilogy. Capablanca's DIY psychedelic industrial disco 'exorcism de style' gets revisioned here by YPY transmuting Top Less into a lisergic overdose, Alessandro Adriani, whose mean mechanic stomper version takes Flores Feias collab by the hand (chained) to a skinhead dark room, and Lipelis' magic wand converts Lap Dance into a Russian bathhouse sex-o-ddisey weirdo monster hit.

The new EP by
Scott Young (Discos Capablanca/ Opal Tapes / Born Free)

Out 14.02.2020 on Discos Capablanca

Hypnotic, scuffed dancefloor movements, dub-dilated drum workouts &
heavy-lidded ambient zones.
Made in Hong Kong before the storm, Manchester and Bristol.

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Scott Young’s music traverses a wide sonic palette, encapsulating leftfield dance music, musique concrete, experimental film soundtracks and lush ambient excursions.
Following a noteworthy appearance on Samo DJ’s Born Free imprint, a series of accomplished releases on Discos Capablanca and a mesmeric contribution to the 2019 Opal Tapes compilation ‘Amateur Vampires’, Young returns with his most significant output to date.
Comprised of five tracks that work towards different styles, ‘Ket City’ is intended as an intimate ode to the United Kingdom, and a response to the oppression of algorithmically filtered modernity and the drudgery of work. Diving into hypnotic, artfully fractured dancefloor movements, dub-dilated drum workouts & heavy-lidded ambient zones, ‘Ket City’ is a diverse prospect that nevertheless reveals the execution of a unique signature.
A cerebral, tranquilised, escapist trip that channels ambiguity and positivity in equal measure, and evokes the influence of Mille Plateaux, Wordsound, Mark Fell and Matt Steel’s SND project as well as contemporary operators like Huerco S and Madteo.

Bananamania Mixtape #010: Baris K

Princess P & Cio are a couple living in 2 different cities in Switzerland (Bern and Zurich.) Besides their daily jobs Muriel works as a DJ and Cio runs Spezialmaterial at Club Zukunft. While sitting out the current Pandemic-situation in their respective quarantine homes, Cio sent his Records to Bern where Princess P. recorded a sort of Long-Distance-Back-2-Back with music they are currently listening to including Swiss artists such as Starter, Schmutz Sisters or Fizzè.

A two hour descent into uncharted realms by @Odopt. Wrong turns and surrealistic landscapes. Get acquainted with the land of weirdo. DL is on.

Odopt x Discos Capablanca Takeover @ Mutant Radio (2020)

We're very pleased to announce the simultaneous launch of our new division, Ediciones Capablanca, which will focus on DIY limited editions while expanding the label's format output into carefully crafted tapes, prints, zines and clothing, and its first reference, Madrid’s “k-jazz” combo Metametal, which offer us ‘Desgasta Meseta’. 

A daring, beautiful album which sounds unlike anything else you’ve heard. Borja’s granular synthesis experiments having endless after hours poetic conversations with Jacobo’s mutant sax, a puerta cerrada. Nada Bien makes sure the meaning is not in the words but in the nonssence. Melancolía tries to find them but No Hay Futuro has wrapped Garage Hermético into an ethereal, invisible blanket. 

Housed in a transparent cassette + snapbox with Riso printed sleeve on handcrafted Michel paper and dymo spine designed by Pablo Mirón.
