From the deep confines of the universe, we receive emissions of HC Records’ 21st release - Those Dark Whims by UHF, the production duo and Gladio Operations label heads José Castillo and David Aragón. An exciting digital LP from which a selection of tracks have been extracted for vinyl along with remixes by two label regulars, Estrato Aurora and The Lost Boys.

Skynet Was Shy opens both the LP and the vinyl, a hypnotic starting point in which the most vibrant and crystalline electro fuses with acid sequences to generate a state of pure trance, complimented and driven by spiralling sequences and mantra-like vocals. The second track on the LP and A2 on the vinyl is The Lost Boys' remix of Skynet Was Shy. A rough and sharp reinterpretation where the use of 303 sequences continues but focuses on more of a physical than a mental dance.

Hanging Baskets reactivates the state of infinite mental suspension that underlies this powerful and bold composition with deft and minimalistic use of elements: sharp broken rhythms, a dense melodic environment but with occasional moments of pure light and a new vocal message that ignites in our minds.

The B-side kicks off with Estrato Aurora's remix of Day Dream, which as usual in the work of the acclaimed Valencian producer, extends the original version to 8 minutes, giving it an unusual emotionality created by an amalgam of sound textures that interweave multiple pads, mutant melodies and pulsating percussion. Closing the vinyl, UHF's machines join forces with the lyrics of another electro heavyweight in Protestas En Las Redes Feat. Dark Vektor, a combative discourse in which the powerful and robotic vocal message of the Terrassan producer ascend alongside the futuristic melodies, extra-dimensional violins, spatial arpeggios, and metallic rhythms of the Madrid duo.

Five bonus tracks complete the UHF experience, starting with the title track, Those Dark Whims, a perfect blend of funk bass lines, helical synthesisers sequencing sonic chains of acid trance and legendary vocal samples.

The original version of Day Dream, is perhaps the LPs deepest and most emotional track. Low bpms, a rapturous rhythm that alternates syncopated passages with a commanding 4x4 and an atmosphere reminiscent of film noir soundtracks.

Lowering our heartbeat even more to a chill out state, Space Marmalade is served to us rich and tasty on a slice of toast, all sweetness with a purple and phosphorescent touch in this extra-terrestrial downtempo composition. We wake up from the space dream to embrace the emotions created by Tales Of Saigon, Belgian-flavoured Techno that reminds us of early 90s compositions with renewed sound aesthetics that we could imagine moving to on the dance floor of the mythical Boccaccio Life. A wink to the 1979 classic, The Warriors, directed by Walter Hill leads us into Baseball Furies, a playful, nocturnal, and hyper-muscular slice of electro. Thick drums, bouncy bass, fx and dark pads unify mystery and rogue dance.

On Tuesday 30/04/24 the LP will be presented live at Killing Time, the physical headquarters of the label located in Valencia. Following an interview conducted by HC label boss David Verdeguer, the duo will be DJing along with two of the vinyl’s guest remixers, Estrato Aurora and The Lost Boys.

As we approach the threshold leading us back to the Black Lodge on our transformative 8th journey, we are escorted through and beyond the mystical portal by the vigorous and fierce forces of Sneaker. Portrait in House is a collection of 3 resonant works, which are unified into a singular vision within its uncanny language that is rooted deeply in the foundations of Jak, New Beat, EBM, and Wave. Existing inside the liminal spaces of where light meets dark, we are presented with a documentation of dissonance and harmony. 

We begin our voyage with Jihad, a sluggish and slogging piece that unforgivingly drags us through the grime and the dirt in a ritualistic fashion that would have the ghost of Georges Bataille dancing in circles. Voices call out and howl into the dark as the drum patterns of the 707 rhythmically grasps onto its anarchic components. In the dark, we can see the light beyond the known universe. In the words of Sneaker “The name is not our message, but a document of an evident, traditional concept in (y)our world.”

As we find ourselves sprawled out on the ground following the 1st sonic stanza, a menacing voice bellows and warns that this is a Sax Track. Referencing Chicago icon Lil Louis, this work juxtaposes classical elements of house music together with the bare knuckled spirit of Jak. A magical spell led by disharmonious Portasound FM keys in conversation with a teetering sub bass, where at its core, this plus this, equals something that is uniquely familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. A number fit for any uncanny ritual that will fall under the night sky. 

Bringing our cosmic procession to a close we pick up the pace with a commanding number titled, Dance On, a no holds barred work that will possess your soul in the name of Jak. Flangers wail unforgivingly alongside a pulsating 101, as samples of the human voice are chopped up and arranged into a conversation that hypnotically calls for our bodies to be transformed into soft machines, while powered by ceremonious motions that are generated from the liberating process of ritual movement. We command you to dance!

Fashion Flesh - Asexual Bondage [AXV001 - Adult Version]

Format: cassette tape and digital album
Label: Adult Version (@alleyversion)

Fashion Flesh is the solo output moniker of John Talaga, based in Bay city, Michigan - USA.
Undoubtedly the perfect artist for the inaugural release of Adult Version, the Alley Version's experimental side label.

He's renowned for his unique sound that combined experimental rough energy with surreal dysfunctional pop factors.
Distinctive approach to electronic analog equipment played a crucial role in shaping his signature sound.
Most of the instruments used are self-built and customized.

Asexual Bondage is a 7 tracks cassette and digital album, which opens with the preformed and reformed
samba-stic jubilee kicks in the jams of self-reassurance and esteem to the moon-child through 'Bold Astral Temperance'.
'Self-Discipline' reaches through the art of example without being preachy, pushy or puckered.
'Don’t Blow Up' suggests you do not, through the soft distractions of a rain shower on moods varied.
'Mimicry' lets you be yourself, to not live a mocking bird of prey nor a vulture of ideas.
'The Voice of God' is the voice of an atheistic John the Baptist with his attempt to bond the blind faith believers
of the universe. To experience a united non-linear yet heart felt existential state of ecstasy with the random
godhead gobblers this reality over.
'Brass Heels' steps on your hands and turns you on.
'Asexual Bondage' bravely champions the flowering chains of love between those that do not only fuck.

The cassette is a very limited edition, not to be missed considering its delicious artwork made by John Talaga himself and Francis Thayer.

DISK_D - is also a symbol of our saved data, that will survive any Windows crash.
During the war, our nation is archiving its cultural heritage as the question of physical survival becomes more actual. This feeling has nothing to do with despair. It is the pulse of our culture and music that continues to resonate through our fight for freedom.
