EXCLUSIVE PREMIERES

John Parsley - My Own Owl

Peter Invasion & Gregor Habicht - Bowery 559 (Each Other Remix)

The winter had been dark and cold, the spring not too dissimilar, so a lot of expectations had been placed on summer. Now the long days of sunshine stretched from the early hours to late into the evening; what the people had long yearned for had finally arrived. Sweaty foreheads, sunburnt faces and humid households were welcomed with open arms; when the sun hit hard, it really hit hard.

Mexican producers Mufti and Alf Champion launched their Fucanglong Files imprint in November of last year with a VA that cemented the dark and hypnotic sounds we'd be hearing from future releases. These sounds reign supreme on their second release, an EP from Paris-based producer and musician Id!r. Following up outings for Darkroom Dubs and Clouded Vision, 'Dry Lips' pulls from a plethora of murky influences from dark wave and EBM to disco and minimal synth, fuelled by guitar licks, heavy kicks and raw synth lines.

We are proud to present the fifth instalment of the Pal’s compilation, with talent from across the globe, coming together to create a collection to soundtrack these strange days.

First up, Aural Trace sets the scene with the slow burning celestial soundscapes of ‘Melange’, where choral overtones curl up snuggly along the drum machine, fusing organic and mechanics.

The influence of the Cologne School seeps through every pour of M Love’s ‘Oboda’ with warm analogue melodies oozing throughout. 
Churning distorted guitars twist between the throbbing tribal drums of Mufti’s 'Fascinatio'.

Marzian’s 'Conversaciones Delirantes' pulls us through a psychedelic shapeshifting bass heavy prism of sound. Sharp stabs cut through the bass on Flvn’s ‘Yule’, no mistake, this could soundtrack a slasher movie in-spite of its festive title.

Leo af Ekenstam’s ‘Stress’ carries a tense, yet driving groove punctuated by nervous guitars and shady atmospherics. 

A bubbling bit-crushed low end permeates Montessori’s 'Speed Dating’s dark EBM tinged muscular workout.

Stockholm Syndrome teams up with Lusca to craft a pumping retro synth infused stomper which twists and jitters from the opening bars to the last refrain.

Cabizbajo and Colossio also combine their production talent to create the cavernous feedback driven echofest of ‘Ley’ with twisted arpeggios and animal like sounds dancing in and around the drums.

Manner of Speaking play out with ‘the Unknown’, a brooding instrumental downtempo track which strikes a literal and figurative chord with the collective consciousness this past year.

Tracklist: 

1. Aural Trace 'Melange
2. M Love 'Oboda
3. Mufti 'Fascinatio
4. Marzian 'Conversaciones Delirantes

Pals Vol. 5

Fascinatio

PREMIERE: Mufti - Fascinatio [Play Pal Music]

The duo from Guadalajara (Mexico) deliver their EP ‘Storm In A Teacup’, a tribute to acid humor & their fashion, cinema and rock idols/icons.
The release opens with ’Rebecca’, a track unsettling in all aspects, strings out of tune, naughty arpeggios delicately bouncing over psychedelic notes and the highlighted Koto dragging us to perceive the world music fibers. The hilarious and unveiling lyrics with monthly horoscope vibes is born from the main character on Fargo Devianti & Vongold's favorite film ‘Ghost World’.
‘Heather’ on the other hand, is an organic composition that drags us to feel under the influence of a Neopunk Pit on the club. Vongold on her behalf, delivers us some lyrics and vocals as an allegory to clubbing nights, to the banal trend of social media, pop icons viral news and peculiar quotes of 90's movies disguised with electrifying guitars, intriguing melodies and a catchy bass line rescued from the insides of Fargo Devianti elements that will definitely kick up dust on the dance floors.
To close up the EP, there are two remixes included: one of them by 'Trio
Misterio' (project by Azaria, Alvaro Cabana and Lebollet) in which they make a more hypnotic and trippy interpretation of Rebecca's own, while SCADTA's rework (Colombian artist Sergio Iglesias y German producer Tilman Benecke) offers a New Beat / EBM flavored version of the track “Heathers’.

Fargo Devianti & Vongold  - 'Heathers' (SCADTA Remix)

When Greco-German couple Local Suicide (@localsuicide) and New York City native Curses (@cursesforever) met in Berlin, the epicenter of electronic music, their artistic chemistry was immediately obvious. This chance meeting resulted in several fructuous collaborations, with the latest being ‘Magia’, a dark and mysterious four-track EP. This release represents the perfect opportunity for the artists to take the genre-bending blend of 80’s new wave, dark disco and ghostly vocals that have earned their previous collaborations unanimous praise to a whole new level. 

The EP comes after an impressively prolific year for the ever-busy Local Suicide powerhouse, following the release of their globally acclaimed debut album ‘Eros Anikate’ with collaborations with The Hidden Cameras, Lena Platonos, Theus Mago and Curses himself, as well as four remixes EPs featuring remixes by household names such as Adana Twins, Silicone Soul, Echonomist, Biesmans, Die Selektion and many more on top of a hectic touring schedule. 

The multi-talented artist and head of the Ombra International label Curses also recently released his darkly romantic second album ‘Incarnadine’ with features from Jennifer Touch and Terr, following an acclaimed first album on Jennifer Cardini's Dischi Autunno imprint. For this collaboration, he lends his distinctive sound signature that incorporates punk, Italo Disco, and EBM influences for a somber and nostalgic sound.

The EP’s title track ‘Magia’, immediately puts the listener under its spell with its dystopian atmosphere, as cold and distant voices echo eerily behind the relentless beat and unsettling looping synths, before layering up into an intense but also strangely hopeful soundscape.  

The beautifully complex and moody ‘It All Sounds The Same’ then follows with its ethereal and ghostly vocals bleeding through the urgent rhythm. The alliteration of the lyrics contributes to creating an otherworldly, almost uneasy feeling echoed by the lonely voices lamenting that everything ‘sounds the same’.  

The third track ‘Secret Friends’ opens up with cascading acid notes soon overtaken by the same driving beat as pulsing synths overlap each other in a frenzy while the vocals call out for a ‘secret friend’ with the seductive appeal of a mysterious, almost supernatural being. 

Far from alleviating the tension that has been building up throughout the EP, the closing track, ‘Walk With Me’, feels like a frenzied and Lynchian musical descent into madness, as insistent notes become more and more distorted until they’re swallowed by the bassline and electric notes while barely human voices whisper menacingly, gasping and crossing overhead. 

 In true Local Suicide and Curses fashion, this EP feels like a masterfully crafted plunge into an unfamiliar world that will leave you wanting more. Tune in for the release on February 24th, 2022 via Local Suicide’s own label Iptamenos Discos. (@iptamenosdiscos)

Curses - Back For More [Critical Monday]

When reaching the heart of darkness alley and staring into the bassbins, feeling the low frequency soundwaves pounding rhythmically into the chest, there is only one thing you can do and that is to allow the kick drum to carry you away, it doesn't even matter where.
Alvaro Cabana takes control here and made an epic, otherworldly electro-acid beast which kicks hard and deliberate, hi hats that slice like switchblades and attack laden bleeps that bite hard into your cranium. This one builds and builds and builds peaks but somehow remains cool, synth-esque stabs, congas and toms decorate it like sugarskulls with pads on the breakdown wonky synths and heavy distorted appregio just before the drop kicks in. Six and a half minutes of an epic stomper which will surely carry you away. Just remember, you're safe in the dark alley, for now.

PREMIERE #768 | Alvaro Cabana - Callejon Oscuro [Critical Monday] 2020

It was the midst of the morning rush, everybody had a place to be, their own mission to complete. The buzz of the cars waiting patiently in line and the hum of the trains racing underground made it hard to hear your thoughts, drowning out the plans formulating in your mind. You had to be on your a-game, it was every man for themselves in these situations. No smiles were cracked, no words were exchanged. It was time for a much needed injection of joy...

Nadav Spiegel AKA Autarkic and friend Neil Cohen launch their new label Age Of Self - a platform for both music and visual arts - with a three track EP from Nadav himself. Not willing to be constrained by genre, the label won't be navigated by a specific sound, only by what the pair are feeling. For their inaugural release their mission is simple: "to bring some joy and wit to the dark and grim dance floors of our recent times." Our pick is opening track 'A Number By Ilia Gosz' - a hypnotic and melodic cut punctuated by sharp synths and stuttering percussion.
