Mephisto Frequency Oscillator (MFO) is a dynamic production duo made up of Italians Rio Padice and Massimo Di Lena. Here they release their first of a two part EP series, Future City Traffic, on Dutch label Dekmantel having only previously released on Early Sounds Recordings. Across three tracks they lie out some fine space funk and dirty deep house and prove they have a great understanding together.

First up, 'Anti Social Plan' is riddled with a scuzzy Detroit soul. The drums and claps bounce like an imperfect Kyle Hall cut and great chords and melodies dance about with a refreshingly liveliness. Then comes 'Slow Run In Our Dreams', which has hurried, rough sounding drums down low and odd, awkward but soulful piano patterns played out up top. Blurts of analogue bass add weight, and breathy vocal sounds make things seem all the more organic. It's a truly inventive track, as is closer 'Crisis Zone' with its deep, dread fuelled drums. Raw as you like with super sharp hi hats, this is a knackered sounding track that scuffs along the ground as all sorts of pixelated melodies and crushed 8 bit sounds rain down up top like some sort of crystallised rain. This is house music, but not as we know it!

LOTR x RWW - Massimiliano Pagliara - 21 March 2024

"Chicago native Justin Aulis Long discovered his fascination for uncanny music at an early age when his mother entrusted him with her record collection that spanned from UK punk to American dance. This  served as a gateway, stimulating his journey into the sonic vortex. As a child of Medusa’s on Sheffield, Long gained a higher level of musical education. His weekly pilgrimages to this venue’s all-ages hedonistic dance parties supplied a compelling musical concoction of acid house, UK bleep, industrial and new wave. Possessed by these unorthodox forms of music, Long purchased his first set of turntables and began to collect 12-inch singles from local record shops. Though his intentions were solely to pander to his musical appetite in the privacy of his bedroom, this acquisition proved to be the genesis of a voyage that continues to present him with new challenges that are met with an unforgiving dogmatic approach.

Long cut his teeth during the early 90’s at many of Chicagos Infamous DIY and underground warehouse raves. pulling selections from a variety of his musical influences and interests. Eventually graduating to take residencies at many of the cities established club venues and landing a residency at Smart Bar where he is currently the longest consecutive resident."

Alex Kassian welcomed the first sunrise at Solar Village in 2023, and we can now listen back to his performance. He took Wonderers on a journey that started downtempo and slowly built his set out, marking a new direction for sunrise performances at our beloved venue. Stay tuned for more music to be released soon, but we can’t think of a better way to kick things off than Alex Kassian.
