Chris Decato remembers 1988 in Portsmouth by the private hours he spent over a Tascam 234 stacking layers of guitar and pulsing synth on tape. The recordings from these sessions, Transmissions, are now available to the public via Astro Nautico on cassette and digital formats for the first time.

Mazing through clouds of arpeggiated guitar (“Spectral Interference”) and foggy Roland D-50 pads, Transmissions soothes and coaxes with youthful romanticism (“A Promise”) and somber mystery (“The Call”). Decato wrote the music as a 17-year-old living with his brother in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Decato says his tape experiments sounded like “fairy princess music” in comparison with the hard rock popular in the region at the time, so he mostly kept it to himself.

“This was stuff that I never ever thought anyone would want to listen to,” Decato said. “It was this hidden side of myself that no one knew about.”

For years, the only people who had heard Transmissions were a handful of family members, friends, and a small group of commercial video producers to whom Decato had sent his demos. When Astro Nautico’s Sam O.B. heard the recordings on a visit to Lake Mascoma in New Hampshire (as seen in the artwork of Transmissions)...  more

For his Studio Barnhus debut, Laurence Guy connects the dots between the lo-fi ambient investigations of his 2017 debut album Saw You For The First Time, the warm club sounds heard on All I See Is Her, last year’s standout 12'' for Tokyo’s Mule Music, and the London-based dj and producer’s long roots in deep drum’n’bass and dubstep soil. Those roots, which have always been there as subtle rhythmical traces on Laurence Guy records, now appear more explicitly than ever, boosting the typically graceful harmonies and sooty samples of Guy's music with a new, profound energy. From the unswerving neo-jungle of Wildlife, through My Brain Is A Scrambled Egg with its dusty rave euphorisms, onwards to the hypnotic guitar ballad It’s Good To Try, this six-track EP is chock-full of the sort of unrestrained musical enthusiasm Studio Barnhus always stays on the look-out for. Making Music Is Bad For Your Self Esteem is at once Guy’s most experimental and most personal record so far, an essential addition to both the artist and the label’s catalogues.

Oh Me, Oh My (Nicotine Patch)

Out of Time

Coasting down the skyway
Still talking in your sleep cant let it go
Trying to change a future
But how it shakes out, nobody ever knows
So rise above it
She whispers “don’t be reduced by another soul”
Hit the gas and floor it
You could return change the world, but need some more

Clock strikes, crash into forever
Got the sweet sound, ways when we were together
But then we broke apart, you took it to heart
Laid it all on the line, now were left out of time

Heaven better find a way
But for now were left here taking shots
Flying with a tail wind
All across the city streets, getting caught
Truth i want it
Hard to handle all the lies that brought us down
Western union breadcrumbs
Couldn’t get back there even if i wanted now

Clock strikes, crash into forever
Got the sweet sound, ways when we were together
But then we broke apart, you took it to heart
Laid it all on the line, now were left out of time

Falling now were out of time
Falling now were out of time
Falling now were out of time
Im falling out of time 

Clock strikes, crash into forever
Got the sweet sound, ways when we were together
But then we broke apart, you took it to heart
Laid it all on the line, now were left out of time
Clock strikes, crash into forever
Got the sweet sound, ways when we were together
But then we broke apart, you took it to heart
Laid it all on the line, now were left out of time

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere the new music video for "Rye Fire" by MATTE BLVCK. Inspired by the elements of the bands they have worked with and moving beyond them, they deliver a soundtrack of sinister pleasures for an uncertain world as if it was everyone’s last night on Earth. I'm Waving, Not Drowning is MATTE BLVCK’s debut release and it captures the band’s affinity for dark synthwave while complimenting it with epic, gritty industrial anthems and unabashedly embracing their love of underground techno.

The release is available now on digital format & 12″ Vinyl. Pick up on Bandcamp: https://matteblackus.bandcamp.com/album/im-waving-not-drowning

A warm welcome to the Hungarian producer talent SNYL on our imprint with his debut release "Sci-Fied". After releases on labels such as SINCOPAT, ICONYC, Perspectives Digital or Beat Boutique were happy to have two smashing Original tracks rolling down on our floor. Title track "Sci-Fied" comes along with a lot of energy and keeps the dark mood all over the full distance with a spacy vocoder highlight. "In My Head" with the beautiful vocals of Canadian artist Jessica Zese is the second track, having a mystic atmosphere and keeps the focus on a fabolous bassline. Returning to their JEAHMON! home, both Marc DePulse and Rafael Cerato teamed up for a remix and put their Capulet-fingers on "In My Head" with the typical handscript.

MIMS is hyped to premiere an epic new remix of Fred Everything's sought after house hit "Here (Now)" by the king of space disco himself, Prins Thomas.

A 10-minute space disco journey as only Prins Thomas can deliver, his "Diskomiks" incorporates elements from both the original 2003 version and Fred's 2020 update.

Back in 2003, nearly 20 years ago now, Fred Everything released 2 albums  on Ralph Lawson’s 20:20 Vision, alongside a heap of singles and remixes. In between those albums, he released a single called 'Over You'. Unexpectedly, the b-side, "Here (Now)" turned into a bit of a hit!  

One fan was Ian Pooley, who always told Fred it was the his best track ever. And as recent as 2019, Ian picked it for a feature in Telekom Electronic Beats about his top 5 B-Side tracks, overnight boosting the Discogs price for the original EP to 100 EU.

Fred felt inspired to dig out the song from his archives. Finding all the original stems he couldn't resist putting a new spin on the song himself. But he wasn't done there and could see it being a good opportunity for reinterpretation. 

Fred tells us, "when I dug out this project, I instantly thought of Prins Thomas as I’m a big fan of his and could hear his cosmic touch on this. It helped that I was working with him on another alias project for his label at the same time. He felt bad that the remix was 10 mins long but I embraced that. It’s a rarity these days for music to really take its time to live and breath. Extremely pleased with the result!"

Digital is out later this week  but you can order the vinyl from a number of stores now.
