From the forthcoming album "Nuits Sans Nuit", to be released on May 30th.

Pierre Bastien and Michel Banabila return with Nuits Sans Nuit, their second collaboration following their Baba Soirée debut from 2023. Recorded as an intuitive exchange between Rotterdam and Valencia, the album emerged from a simple ping-pong process: Banabila sculpted sounds and atmospheres, to which Bastien responded with his distinctive instrumental palette: flute-augmented cornet, mechanised log drum, and more. Mixed by Banabila, the result is a raw yet immersive work that resonates with a somnambulant, wide-awake presence.

Pierre Bastien: "When Michel had finished mixing and editing, I listened to the whole record and sensed a dreamlike quality in it. It reminded me of a book I read years ago: ‘Nuits Sans Nuit Et Quelques Jours Sans Jour’ by Michel Leiris.  Around that same time, some fifty years ago, I was playing in Nu Creative Methods with Bernard Pruvost, a duo that appears on the Nurse With Wound list. Since then, Pruvost has turned to painting, and his work is as dreamlike as our music. We asked him to contribute one of his paintings for the album cover."

Nuits Sans Nuit unfolds through shifting shades of melancholy. "I don't know how to describe the feeling of these crazy times we live in," says Banabila. "Les plus désespérés sont les chants les plus beaux,”  Bastien quotes De Musset. Wordless yet deeply expressive, the album invites listeners into a space of contemplation, where meaning emerges through immersion — like ritual music carrying an unspoken message. Echoes of saudade, blues, fado, and soleá surface in the duo’s playful noise, reimagined through their singular vocabulary.

A Shot In The Dark

It's finally summer and your streaming service only plays computer-generated music? You're tired of loud birds, yelling people and cringy boomboxes? No worries: Kolleg Acid has got your back. He heard you liked slow, hot Italo disco music and made a summery vinyl mixtape just for you. 

«Vacanze a Casa», with its one-hour runtime, is perfect for short, but satisfying sunbathing sessions, seaside strolls, or getting in the mood for steamy club nights. It's full of cheapish and not so cheapish beach or beach-related songs that bring any tropical island right into your home town. Even on rainy days, this mix brings the sun indoors, blasting heat from your speakers straight to your soul.

Recent hours have seen too much Israeli depravity to write about, including an assassination strike in Qatar to sabotage peace talks, a second drone attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, and a Guardian article featuring an IDF sniper who discussed killing civilians like a trophy hunter talking about game animals.

Look at what happened before October 7 and you'll see year after year of murder, oppression and abuse.
Look at everything that's happened since October 7 and you'll understand the kind of sadistic, psychopathic regime the Palestinians have been living under this entire time.

Rimini Express is a vinyl DJ from Utrecht, The Netherlands with a deep love for italo disco. When he isn't DJ'ing, he is digging for records or researching the ever fascinating 1980's. Rimini Express has performed in various cities around the Netherlands and also holds lectures about the origin and influence of italo disco.

About this mix: For this mix I wanted to highlight the more melancholic, emotional and sometimes a little bit corny side of italo disco. I picked a host of different songs, some more well known, some obscure. All mixed live on vinyl.
