I’m back with a rework of another all-time cut, Pet Shop Boys’ It’s A Sin. 
As someone coming from Eastern Europe I’ve been a bit overexposed to Chris & Niel’s discography because of their Go West hit, which overflooded the region in the 90’s (though it was originally a Village People song, not related to the Cold War). 
Yet, as my previous cover (New Order’s Blue Monday), this song has been haunting me for years and I couldn’t help but do something with it. While trying to respect their original intent, I tried to give it a current sound. Once more, the original multitrack session files have been made available, which is a blessing. 
Enjoy it, download it, spin it to entertain your beloved audience. 
The cover art is inspired by John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness (1987), released the same year.

A Story of Italo Disco, Indie Dance, Slow Motion, New Wave, Breakbeat ...is now starting.

INCOMING : Luca Dell'Orso  - Early Days #RitmoFatale

Release date : 2022-11-30

Buy : https://ritmofatale.bandcamp.com/album/drive-fast-brake-hard

Based in the Netherlands, Luca dell’Orso already has a strong resume with even stronger releases : Bordello A Parigi, Red Laser Records, Italo Moderni, XXX & OOSSHA.

Each time he delivers this electrifying, bold and epic 80s inspired sound, always terribly effective. Can we dare to say this is his best work to date ? Yep.

From dark & mean grooves to some more light & carefree melodies, from perfect retro wave to the return of his impeccable pairing with Jolisa, once again full of class and elegance, these 5 tracks got it all !

On a deeper level, the Drive Fast, Break Hard EP is also self-reflective about the times we live in, life itself and thoughts about how pushing to the limit will eventually lead to a breakdown.
As Luca said : Basically you just can’t cheat life, like Steely Dan sang in ‘Glamour Profession’ ‘living hard will take its toll’.

These thoughts can be heard throughout the powerful and dramatic intensity delivered in the title track, the weird basslines and stressed out arpeggios on Life Is Intense, or Jolisa’s reflections about love and passion on Wonder.

Pianopoli - Back In 1983 (Club Mix)

Modern Italo edit of the 1985 classic by Den Harrow.

Den Harrow - Mad Desire (Amarcord Edit)

Let’s head back to 83 and then fast forward till today. Now we got Kay-Chi up for a brilliant EP. This Greek knows his way around hardware synthesizers. That’s for sure!

One might think that “Back To 83” refers to a specific year when the music was extra good or perhaps some childhood memories. While all of that may be true, what happened in 83 was the introduction of the Roland JX-3P synthesizer. And now you wonder, why is this relevant? Well, obviously because the track was made using that synthesizer, duh!

To make matters even more interesting, we invited another hardware guru to do one of the remixes, Italo Brutalo. And among these two hardware heroes, our label boss Marcus managed to sneak his way into both a remix and a collab, despite being fully digital.

Back To 83 is everything you can expect from a classic italo track. It has a super catchy and playful upbeat melody, a robot voice and a female talking about synthesizers. And there’s a very summery vibe about the whole track.

Marcus remix keeps the best of 83 and amplifies it with a bit of modern attitude, and perhaps you could call it some “soundtrack-y” chords too.

If Back To 83 was happy and summery, then “Life In A Loop” missed the exit to the summer resort and just kept going north. This one has a bit more grit, intricate arpeggios and powerful synthesizers. Combine that with poetic vocals from Kally Voo that carry a lot of attitude. Voilà!

And for Italo Brutalo’s remix on Life In A Loop, we once again find robot voices!(!!!) Together with his powerful and catchy synth lead, this remix takes more of an anthemic turn. And we love it! And wow, that kick really packs a punch!

INCOMING : Austher - Don't Look Back #MINITEL

Release date : 2024-10-25
BUY : https://go.protonradio.com/r/rlBCTAp0CWczo


After spending the summer traveling across France in our Renault Fuego convertible, we're back at the top of our game for our third EP.

We're delighted to hand over the keys to Austher, a rising star on the French and international indie scene, for a beautiful ballad with his banger "Don't look back": a killer bass line, a summery melody and a groove between EBM, indie and trance.

In the backseat, Chinaski delivers a remix with a first part full of tension and progression, a classy Daft Punk-style break and a vibrant arpeggio in the final curve.

The mirror's shattered... Don't Look Back.

Merci Aurélien
Danke Stefan
