minimal wave

Minimal Wave is proud to present a 6 song EP by the UK/US duo Sandra Electronics. Originally formed as Sandra Plays Electronics by Karl O’Connor in 1988, the project has evolved over the years to become a collaborative endeavor with Juan Mendez (aka Silent Servant). Three of the tracks were first released as an Untitled 10” on Downwards in 2010, and the record quickly sold out. Those songs have been re-edited and remastered for this EP, and three more rare demos and live versions have been added. The songs can be described as hypnotic industrial electronic mantras with enigmatic keyboards and treated vocals. Each track draws the listener in, with its repetitive psychedelic percussion and dark affected vocal. The record is a hand-numbered edition of 999 copies pressed on 180 gram ultra clear vinyl, and housed in a high quality heavy weight printed sleeve featuring a vintage photograph of Samia Gamal. Release date: April 30th, 2014, with special signed copies available for sale on May 10th at the Brookyln Flea RBMA Record Fair. Sandra Electronics will be doing an exclusive DJ set and record signing that day.

Sandra Electronics - Protection Now (Demo)

Minimal Wave is proud to present a reissue of the seminal first album from Swiss Wavers, Guyer’s Connection. Tibor Csébits and Philippe Alioth formed Guyer’‘s Connection in Basel, Switzerland when they were only 14 and 15 years old. At the time they were in a new wave rock band called “Kurtzschluss” which they decided to break from in order to make purely electronic music. They began with two synthesizers, a drum machine, a 4-track tape recorder and a multitude of ideas. They channeled their unique and humorous vision into their first album, entitled Portrait which they produced themselves and self-released in 1983. Over the years, the album became a highly sought after minimal synth cult classic. It stands alone as one of the strongest examples of Swiss Minimal Wave, and probably the only one that is in Baseldytsch. The Portrait reissue is presented in a high quality gloss sleeve, with artwork to match their original sleeve design from 1983. The record features newly remastered audio pressed on 180 gram black vinyl, as a hand-numbered edition of 999. Release date: September 16th, 2014.

Guyer's Connection - Pogo of Techno

Cititrax is proud to present a four song debut solo EP by the Hacker’s new project called Amato. Influenced by early EBM, German techno and new wave, Michel Amato aka The Hacker began producing tracks under his new moniker Amato in 2014. The first one to be released, called Physique, came out in 2015 on the Cititrax Tracks Volume One EP and was a dancefloor success. On this forthcoming EP, entitled “Le Desordre et La Nuit”, Amato integrates his love of the new wave to form four ebm tinged techno funk hits. Very dancefloor friendly, these tracks take pop elements reminiscent of Belgian body music and bring them to the present day. Amato shines as a producer here, as he has so many times before. It’s an absolute honor for us to release this debut project. Artwork is sourced from photographs taken in NYC in the 1980s with layout by Veronica Vasicka. The release is limited to 999 copies pressed on 160 gram silver vinyl, and accompanied by jackets printed on matte heavyweight cardstock. Release date: July 13, 2016.

Ujin Ray - Die Katzen

PREMIERE - Ujin Ray - Die Katzen

The sixth chapter from Moscoman kicks off with Big Jack Arbon, an unambiguous summer anthem tied up by digital steel drums and pitched chants. On the flip, Things Forgot To Be This Way calls for the never-ending daze of the after hours with Disco infused melodies and distant vocals floating atop doped down beats. Closing track Unheard Melody sets a different pace. Wistful Mediterranean guitars pick unhurried melodies while delays cloud the track in just the right amount of sleaze.

Tronik Youth - Ausgang Children - Modulaire Remix

Mr BC ft. L. Longchamp - Glamour Morgue - Man2.0 Autopsy Remix

Younger Than Me release their first 3 tracker on RELISH including a Bomb remix by Italian’s finest Fabrizio Mammarella.
Younger Than Me is an italian duo out of Milano. Their love not just for Italo Disco, but also for post-disco , new-wave , house and electronic music with the inevitable 80's twist is evident in the music they produce.
After having released on Bordello a Parigi with a remix by another Italian Artist Massimiliano Pagliara and contributed Universal Love to RELISH COMP V they are now joining RELISH with The Warnig Code.
The title track Warning Code is machine psychedelia, introspective and full of energy.
Disco Rootz is the lovingly crafted, synth heavy title track that harks back to the glorious days of Italo disco and even more to its mid 00's revival.
Fabrizio Mamarella a hero for the 2 Milanesi, gives Disco Rootz an Acid Elektro makeover that boasts with energy.

Cabaret Nocturne - Occult Spells (Black Light Smoke RMX)

90's Wax is a reinterpretation of the old school raver 90's UK progressive house. A limited series - vinyl only label. Formed as a collaboration between Tusk Wax (@justtusk) &  ?????

We're big fans of the artist / partner of this project but they have been kept a mystery for this 1st release.

Watch this space though, as all will be revealed  in 2018.

Release Date - 27/11/17

PREMIERE - ?????  - Temptation (90'S Wax)

@TheusMago is the alter ego of established Mexican producer Mateo González, responsible for dance music projects such as @bufirolas(Kitsuné/Discotexas), Sonido Fantasma (Turbo Recordings) and currently co-head of label @Durolabel. This new side of Mateo is a consequence to the urge of freely exploring and experimenting with a more post-industrial driven side.In 2015, Theus Mago released “Ritmo Extraterrestre” through french/german label Correspondant, earning support from big names such as Solomun, who included it in several of his 2015 presentations. Since it’s debut, Bufi’s side project has had a constant streak of releases in several labels around the globe, including tracks on Lumiere Noire, Turbo Recordings, La Dame Noire, My Favorite Robot and forthcoming (early 2018) on Ombra Intl.

This is another cracker to add to his already impressive back catalogue and one we're sure is going to be ripping up dancefloors for some time to come.

PREMIERE - Theus Mago - Mental Intrusion (Duro Records)

From Man Power:

"I’m going to try not to gush too much about the fact that ‘Me Me Me’ has Raj Pannu’s first ever record, but you have to understand that he’s DJ royalty to someone from where I come from.
From his residencies in Newcastle in the Early 90s, touring all over Europe, playing with the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova and James Lavelle to his move into turntablism in the late 90s playing one on one with DJ Craze, A-Trak and Q-Bert.
All the way up to the last decade and his time spent touring the world for 5 years as part of Coldcut, working with institutions like the BBC and Ninja Tune, and just generally being an absolutely mind bending DJ playing with people from all over the spectrum, such as Richie Hawtin, DJ Kentaro, Jamie Lidell, Kode9 and more.
... and now he’s decided to release his first record... With Us !
As you can imagine for someone with such a varied musical background, FSOP is hard to pin down. I played it to a friend and they said it sounded like Photek covering Pink Floyd, which is the closest approximation I’ve heard of it, I guess. It’s techno, but steppy, and super musical, and dark, but uplifting. Above all, it’s just really special. I couldn’t not give the record a full side to itself, and for the remix we’ve found the perfect pairing with an interpretation from Cosmin TRG (who I met at a festival, and who I instantly hit it off with after finding our shared love of Guiness and Sarcasm).
Cosmin chokes out all of the light with a cut of raw, skittering Paranoid Techno. Providing the ideal balance for both sides of the record. Raj has also provided us with a Dub Mix which we’re releasing as a digital exclusive. The dub narrows the dancefloor focus, without losing the drama of the OG. Reading this, you can probably tell how excited I am about this record."

Techno But Not Techno Sampler

PREMIERE - Black Light Smoke - Dark & Stormy Night (Nein Records)

Minimal Wave is proud to present a second 12” single from our French favorites, In Aeternam Vale. This one is in the same vein as the Dust Under Brightness / Highway Dark Veins 12” we released last May. The single features an epic, pioneering, late 80s underwater techno masterpiece called La Piscine (1989) accompanied by a slow, dark, drugged out 15 minute number on the flip side entitled Calling Somewhere (1990) – which sounds especially relevant today. Neither of these tracks have ever been released before. The pressing is limited to 999 copies, the first 500 are pressed on 160 gram clear highlighter yellow vinyl, accompanied by a hand-numbered matte printed sleeve.
