This track is from the forthcoming 'latent bangers vol. 1' EP. It takes inspiration from club music, albeit from a much more introspective view. Essentially they are anthems for anyone who has ever felt alone in the club.

openmode is the sonic musings of Anthony and Mark who both met, and still exist to some degree, within the gravitational field of London. They were introduced through a mutual friend and bonded over their appreciation of Burial, Talk Talk and finely patterned textiles. They spent years sending albums to one another, as well as pursuing solo attempts at music making, before realising there may be some merit in attempting to make music together.

Much of their sound is borne from navigating the creative process remotely, owing to their debut jam occurring on the eve of the first lockdown (and plagued with firmware based issues). Rightly or wrongly, they persevered in their attempts to create music, but from a far. Through a plethora of voice notes and massively exploiting the free usage policy of wetransfer, they began to develop their sound.

Their sound is heavily based on Mark’s vocal musings and motifs. These are then sliced, diced and (for the most part) lovingly reconstructed by Anthony, into something that may cause people to want to slightly move their body to it. This process has resulted in a montage of musical memories for the duo, spanning longer than either can fully remember.

PREMIERE: openmode - opaque

Arno Gonzalez is producing a modern house sound that sometimes ventures into melodic territory close to Electronica, the Angevin artist was first spotted by the Parisian label Missive, then by Timid Records, on which he released his debut album “Encounters”, as well as a number of EPs and remixes...

Today, he is one of the spearheads and leaders of Brique Rouge, David Duriez's label, with whom he is on a mission to perpetuate and reinvent a certain vision of House and Techno music.

With this second album, which marks “the end of innocence”, Arno explodes the codes of his music to better transcend them. We find his inimitable touch, a particular sound that is sometimes minimal, sometimes warm and melodious, a real signature on 13 tracks that tell a real story.

If this is the end of innocence, it's also the beginning of maturity.




Brique Rouge label is a pillar of the French House underground since 1999.

The label continues to disseminate the electronic sound David Duriez believes in, far from formatting and excessive vulgarity. An eclectic electronic sound that remains rooted in the underground and on vibe above all.  In general, the team's artists benefit from a carte blanche, and it's above all the state of mind that counts. The label isn't looking for success, it's a success. The success of being able to release music without compromise. With one release a week on platforms since 2020, the label (and its divisions RZ Muzik & Obliqu3) is seen as a key player on the French underground electronic scene, given the activism it demonstrates.

Faithful to the spirit of this music's beginnings - Acid House, Chicago and New York House, or the power of Belgian or Detroit Techno - the label has been churning out releases for 25 years without ever sinking into cynicism, nostalgia or parody. Brique Rouge has established itself as a key French label for the distribution of emerging and creative artists (known and unknown) who draw their inspiration from the roots of the genre, but also pursue the search for new vibes. Without commercial imperatives, the label innovates and denies itself nothing. No formatting, no time sacrificed on the altar of the platforms of streaming, with Brique Rouge it's not the face of the human behind the machine that is highlighted, but its music.

PREMIERE: Sound Synthesis - A3B0L3 (Distorted Sensory Perception)

Sound Synthesis - Thinking Of You

Takeshi Kouzuki returns to ALLEY VERSION label for sharing with the brothers duo FLML, the split mini-LP “Tracks From The Alley”.

From his early cult releases for Mathematics Recordings, Takeshi Kouzuki, as in these new tracks, keeps crossing old school house with his recognizable classy signature.
The warm but hitting acid of “福”, opens the Takeshi Kouzuki’s side, while in the second track “1986” deep-and-dark synthetic magic atmospheres are driven by the beating of the twins TR707 and TR727 drum machines. “Yellowacid” burns in its acid-jackin’ madness.

Openig FLML’s side “Hot Spread” is obscure jackin’ techno mechanical psychedelia, the following “Jack That Strings” is a pure raw windy city deep‘n’acid track. In the closing “Does Mean It’s You” a freaky FM synth melody is driven by the pulsing of liquid and creepy analog synths and drums, while an 8-bit sampled Andy Warhol’s speaking fragment marks the space, until dies in a delay feedback.

“Tracks From The Alley” is released exclusively on limited 12” vinyl.
