1 All Things Must Pass 
2 Fake Phonecall
3 All Things Must Pass (Altered Natives remix)

Formed in Glasgow 2019 out of a mutual love of Acid House. The band is made up of Djs Nick Stewart, Matt McCue and blues singer Chris Wilson.

The band formed when Nick asked Matt to play a live set at a club and Matt said the only way he would do it was if they formed a band. 6 weeks later they played live (slightly terrified) with the do it yourself Punk attitude.
 
 
 ALL THINGS MUST PASS

The song was written about my ex-girlfriend. My soulmate and twin flame. We are still in love with each other but can't be together however much we want to be. 

It's about the pain of being separated from someone you are completely in love with. Hoping that the pain of separation will pass someday.
It's melancholic and euphoric. Using just a Roland CR - 68 drum machine, 2 synths and a 303. The acid line coming in at the end signifies 'hope' the feelings of loss will pass and get better.

FAKE PHONECALL

Fake Phonecall is about abandoning the use of modern devices for genuine human interactions on the dance floor.

It says goodbye to the selfie and social media ; asking human beings to reconnect in the moment through acid house music.

More cowbell than is probably needed and answer machine messages in French and Spanish recorded into mobile phones and sent to us. 
No samples used in the track.

The latest signing on Iptamenos Discos is the stunning debut EP by Dina Summer that features remixes by Black Light Smoke, Wiener Planquadrat & Time To Sleep. Fronted by Greek native Dina P., 'Dina Summer’ is a collaborative band project by the producer Kalipo and the DJ/producer couple Local Suicide.

After performing on local radio stations as a teenager, Dina began making waves as one of the first female DJs in Thessaloniki while also pursuing her studies at University. She later moved to Berlin where she met her husband with whom she formed the duo Local Suicide. The powerhouse has made a name for themselves releasing on labels such as Eskimo Recordings, Lumière Noire, Ombra INTL, TAU & more. Through their exploits, Beatport declared them as one of the key figures in the uprising dark disco scene. Around 2013 they met Bavarian born Kalipo while raving at Rock am Ring festival. At the time he was performing at the festival with his band, Frittenbude who are famous in German speaking countries for their unique mix of electro, punk & rap. Kalipo recently released his critically acclaimed fourth long player on KI Records which features artists such as Rampue, Ira Atari Oberst & Buchner & more.

It wasn’t until 2019 that the trio finally starting working on music together. The result was a unique blend of late ‘90s electro with elements of ’80s disco and new wave.

Their first outing ‘Who Am I’ is a new wave / disco-hymn consisting of German & English vocals. They’re accompanied by stomping drums and a beautiful synthesised melody laid over a synth-arp that maintains the tracks momentum.

The Club Version of ‘Who Am I’ is slightly faster and hits a little harder. In this track one can clearly hear the trio's infamous ‘technodisco’ sound at work. The drums still stomp but with more depth and the synth-arp has a more rugged texture when compared to that of the original version.

The B-Side, titled ‘Fortune Teller’, is a groovy dance-floor bomb with nasty moroder-ish bass-arps, epic strings, spoken word elements and a slick breakdown followed by a banging and cascading drop that sucks in and hypnotises listeners.

Legendary US producer & composer Jordan Lieb aka Black Light Smoke’s take on ‘Fortune Teller’ turns the tune into a deep electro weapon with a wobbling bass-lines that ride perfectly with the drums and groovy synths. The glitchy vocals and the ominous sound of the strings give this track an awesomely dark atmosphere.

Austrian duo Wiener Planquadrat - who recently released their debut single ‘Stillstand’ on Iptamenos Discos - transform ‘Who Am I’ into a masterpiece reminiscent of Soulwax’s iconic sound. This is emphasised by the dirty and bouncy groove, rugged tones and drums that are sure to make your body snap along with them.

Croatian producer Time To Sleep, who recently released tracks on Disco Halal, Permanent Vacation & more, delivers a glitchy 128BPM dub techno re-interpretation of 'Who Am I' with driving drums and a rolling bass-line that doesn’t let up. It’s filled with warm reverb filled percussion and an ethereal synth lead mid way through that makes you feel as though you’re floating while rounding off the EP in a beautiful manner.

This stunning EP’s versatile sound is sure to attract a variety of listeners and selectors while turning heads around the globe. The EP will be released on a strictly-limited clear Dubplate 12” and made available digitally on all platforms.

Fortune Teller (Black Light Smoke Remix)

PREMIERE: Dina Summer - Fortune Teller (Black Light Smoke Remix) [Iptamenos Discos]

When they first appeared to the world on episode N° 035 of our FREEDL series at the end of 2020, we said "very little is known about the Roswell Brothers". Almost two years have passed since then, and still, the information we have about the trio remains scarce. What we know so far: They are two Chileans and one Mexican who live in Mexico City and are fans of Lucha Libre. After their debut on SXDNS, they released solid EPs on Emerald & Doreen and NEIN and now land on Veneno with a must-have seven-round fight: "Futuro Eterno" showcases the Brothers' retro-infused sonority by presenting two high-flying originals and five acrobatic remixes made with inspiration & transpiration by hot shots Adán Aradillas, Brandski, Vleks, Mau Maioli (SXDNS246), and Neurotiker.

While "Eternal Future", the original, is a New-Wave-meets-Synthwave beauty, the remix we chose to premiere brings shards of Cosmic Disco combined with pinches of French House to the concoction. For his collaboration to the Roswells, besides embedding deep and beautiful synth layers, Brandski opened the vaults where he keeps the talkboxes and vocoders he inherited from Daft Punk and inserted some robotic magic into the theme. Nothing surprising for those familiar with the previous works by the skilled Toulouse-based artist, who is able to bring together his many an influence and deliver high-quality material, independently of the genre.

Another powerful release lands on the mighty British label NEIN Records: “Back On The Motorway” is the fruit of the interesting collaboration between none other than Montessori and Lusca (SXDNS216), two skilled and respected Mexican artists who decided to join forces for the first time ever to bring to life a couple of darkness-infused bangers. On the remix duty: Bucharest-based producer Valentin Gabriel Pandelescu aka Eddie Lanzat contributed with an exciting interpretation of the title track.

With recent appearances on HEARec, Nothing Is Real, and Play Pal Music, Montessori impresses with a refined ability of seamlessly gathering Alternative Rock, Post-Punk, and New Wave elements in his productions, while Lusca draws attention due to his more acid and intricate sonority whose result can be found on vital imprints such as Innisfallen, Golden Soul, and NEIN itself.

Eddie, in turn, joined the party with his characteristic cosmic/dark-matter-soaked favourite concoction – this time incremented with some Industrial garnishment to spice things up. His debut on Sir Neil Parnel’s roster couldn’t be more crowned, we dare say.

From France to Mexico via China: Motel77 take us to rowdy roadside destinations we didn’t even know existed on their Duro EP debut: ‘Savage’

The title track gets the engine running. Buckle up and prepare for a sweltering ride as the Shanghai-based French duo follow up their past successes on La Dame Noir with four moody, heavy missions. It’s hot, it’s sweaty, it’s loaded it’s with big sweeping guitar blasts… It’s the sound of two men in full control of their machines. And it’s backed by three more dark disco treats…

‘Three On The Floor’ raises its third leg and slams it on the table in two very distinct ways: the original slugs into hypnotic existence, layer by trippy percussive layer, while Sascha Funke ups the tempo with his creepier, more technoid flavoured twist.

Finally we arrive at our destination; the epic waves of ‘It Is All Over’. At first it shimmers like a mirage, then slowly the ground opens out beneath and it sucks you up like a sinkhole. You think it’s all over?

It is now. Hotel, Motel77, summer holiday sin… Duro deliver once again.
