"Floppy Computer" is the newest set of future-gazing grooves from Periodica Records and label partner Raffaele "Whodamanny" Arcella rescuing and restoring forgotten tape compositions from a legendary Italian pop producer using the pseudonym Nico Mecca. Produced during the years 1979-1985 using cutting edge home recording techniques and the latest synthesizer. The productions across the works are incredibly forward-thinking for that time with inspirations and track titles refering to hypermodern tech and a proto-cyberpunk soundworld and progressive rock and experimental electronic music that features novel combinations of mediterranean boogie, robotic funk, sci-fi balearic, hypnagogic pop and astrotribal jazz. The discovery of the 'Floppy Computer' project is dictated by destiny and a strong cosmic interference as not only were these tracks produced by Mecca during his 30s, they were discovered 30 years later by Raffaele Whodamanny, who is also in his 30s - facts that give the project a mystical and numerological significance, since this number and age represent a divine midpoint between youthful enthusiasm and the wisdom of experience.

PRD1020 • Nico Mecca - "Floppy Computer" (LP)

“Music is a borderless language”

This is our gargantuan motto at Fauve Records.
With this mission statement arose a new project called 西 WEST & 東 EAST.

Born from the desire to link the world of the West & the East. The idea was to ask two artist/band to collaborate on a split EP, with one original track each and finally to remix each others’ work.

For Volume 1, it is with humble esteem that we present you to Mameen 3 from Belgium/Morocco and Dea from Indonesia. We are extremely happy to launch the new series with this extraordinary collection of retro-futuristic club music.

First up is Mameen 3 with their original title “Dada Glitter”. A hypnotic burner that feels like the instrumental B-side of a fitness instruction song made by Ziad Rahbani's grandson in 2043. Wake up in utopia and find yourself high on XTC on a glittery Bellydance rave under the Moonshine of Djerbas beaches. An absolute sparkler faithfully signed: soFa & Cheb Runner.

On remix duty of the previously mentioned track is the Indonesian future legend called Dea. After getting his hands on a vintage vocoder he pulled out all its magic blessing onto this stripped-down oriental-future-groover. A highly forceful bassline and effectively simple punchy beats do justice to this cosmic vocoder-funk gem. With lush chords and modestly well done modular toms, he puts the cherry on the cake. A masterpiece in a back-alley illegal trafficking vibe with intimate curiosity!

On the flip side is Dea’s original piece “Mesopotamia”. Just when you thought you’ve travelled enough in this EP, the shaman takes it a step further by landing you on a planet where all genres live together in harmony. Classical, space odyssey, salsa, middle-eastern, you name it, the influences are endless. With a clean yet effective 4x4 analogue-sounding pulse, he handles a multiverse of emotions that will take you on the best drugless trip you can experience.

Last but not least, Mameen 3’s “Rai Not Raimix” finishes the EP in style. Re-inventing the genre-less track by giving it an aspect of a sorcerer marching band. Amidst airy FM trumpets, off-groove claps and enthralled choirs the duo brings along the final smoky touch of this treasury of oddities.

San Francisco’s Dream Chimney officially began in 2018 but its genesis goes much further back. First an electronic music project in ‘97 while experimenting on demos and late-night college radio sessions. In 2000 Dream Chimney continued as a collaborative music platform known for its passionate music community. For over 20 years DC has been a knowledgeable source exposing and sharing exciting new music discoveries. The label was born with a focus on lo-fi Balearic, new age, dance, and synth pop, with releases from Sorcerer, Memorex and Po-One, and compilations that have included Vision of Panorama, Max Essa, Trujillo, Hatchback, Rollmottle, Faint Waves and more.
 
This summer Dream Chimney welcomes Cuerpo Docente to the roster, an instrumental trio from Santiago, Chile. Drawing from backgrounds in DJing, composition, production, and improvisation, they formed in 2018 playing full improv sets in experimental dance spaces in Santiago.  Inspired by the music of Herbie Hancock, Larry Heard, King Tubby, and The Rotating Assembly, their mutual interests coalesced into a synth-based, minimalist, restrained yet playful musical landscape. In 2021 they decided to self-produce an album of original compositions and improvisations edited in a style reminiscent of Can and Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew. The result is a kaleidoscopic album that boldly features jazz, funk, dance, dub, and a multitude of leftfield sonics.

River Yarra - Frogz Ov Gondwana (STW Premiere)

After the vinyl release of "Life Worth Living" EP, the Belgo-Australiana duo Ca$hminus return with "VER$ION$" which is exactly what it says on the tin - friends' reinterpretations from around the globe. Melbourne’s brotherly duo Donald’s House get things started. After their debut EP on Berlin’s Touch Of A Distance a few months ago, they present their first ever remix: a low slung, far out dub version of “Paradise” - the original will see the light of day early 2020. 

Next up, favourite Frenchie E-Talking (Whities) delivers a shapeshifting dancefloor version of "De Vlasmarkt". A true rollercoaster of a track that takes you places. Emotional entertainment, dare we say it.

Hong Kong’s very own Mr. Ho rounds things off. The Mihn Club resident and one of the powers behind Klasse Wrecks offers a murky, understated groove with echoes of trance lurking out of sigh.
