'The latest signing on Local Suicide’s imprint Iptamenos Discos is the Greek DJ / producer duo Boys’ Shorts. They’re delivering their new futuristic EP titled ‘New Era’, which includes remixes from Each Other, Lott & Local Suicide as well as Luca dell’Orso. The duo was founded by Thessaloniki-based artist Vangelis, who runs half of the music blog & label LAGASTA, as well as London-based artist Tareq. They’ve previously had releases on labels such as Super Drama, Royal Advisor, Hottwerk as well as Love Child, while also doing remixes for artists like Kasper Bjorke, Yuksek with Polo & Pan, Dharma and Kito Jemere feat. Wolfram.

	“The track was written during the lockdown period when everything looked so uncertain and scary … We were listening to a lot of music from bands as ‘Japan’ and ‘Visage’,  talking about the “New Romantics” era, thinking of what will come after this new reality we’re living in. And so “New Era” came as a result of all the relationships that were reconsidered the last two years, to show the importance of human touch and what really actually matters.” - Boys’ Shorts

The track immediately gives off a sense of space exploration due to the sound of the melody being played. While the repetitive bass keeps the track driving as the pads elevate you to a higher level, the drums keep you grooving with delicate knocks and cowbells as the claps work with the cowbells to bring some more energy into the track. There’s a slicing, ‘swoosh’ sound that fills the space of an open-hat which breaks the four bar loop subtly but perfectly. The track's vocals have a wide sound to them that helps simulate the vastness of space. 

The critically acclaimed New York-based duo Each Other, consists of Max Pask & Justin Strauss. Max is part of The Rapture & James Friedman’s label Throne of Blood, while Justin was part of power-pop band Milk ’n’ Cookies. Previously they’ve released their original productions and remixes on labels like Soulwax’s DEEWEE, Freeride Millennium, Correspondant and more. Their version of ‘New Era’ brings a more energetic break-beat style tune that’s more in your face than the original. The synth plucks feel as though they’re jabbing you, trying to get you to move while building up tension. When the next synth comes in the track starts flowing, especially when the hats start grooving along with it. The vocals are clearer and more direct when compared to that of the original. The synth keys that come later resemble that of an organ but still have a futuristic sound to them. 

Having released on labels such as Italo Moderni, Wrong Era, Bordello A Parigi & XXX, the Dutch born, Italo-wave-electro producer Luca dell’Orso brings a sense of hi nrg and italo disco to ‘New Era’. Between the sound of the synth and the kicks as well as the use of repetitive kicks, the track puts an awesome and nostalgic twist on Boys’ Shorts track. 

Tel Aviv artist Lott, who has previously released on labels like Feines Tier, New Day Everyday, Karakter Records & Belly Dance Services joins up with Iptamenos Discos heads, Local Suicide to create the ‘In The Trance Mix’ of ‘New Era’. The track has a jerking and rolling bass that moves through your body. The percussion and drums are delicate, leaving more room for the classic mind-bending synths that are typical of trance music. The vocals are also super spacey and copped up and add an awesome groove. 

Boys’ Shorts and the contributors set out to create a project with the idea of providing an outer worldly experience, that is exactly what they did with each track having its own unique style. ‘New Era’ will be released digitally and on strictly-limited clear 12” Dubplate through Iptamenos Discos on February 25th.'

Real disco fans will love the sample that found its way into the new disco/indie dance banger by DJ and producer Claus Casper. But that's not all there is to say about this track: Even after 30 years in the game, Claus Casper keeps crafting new versions from old songs or creating originals that won't just shake your mama's hips.

"Hip Shakin Mama" comes as a piano dub mix by everbody's all-time favorite Gerd Janson. You can imagine Janson letting loose on the piano when hearing this remix. This EP is fun, it's a hip shaker, and it's one you won't soon forget.

The long anticipated collaboration between Mexico City-based Theus Mago & Berlin’s Curses is finally here, bringing their punk and psychedelic rock-infused dark club music to light. The two producers joined forces when shit hit the fan during the beginning of the pandemic, eager for a return to the clubs. ‘Antídoto’ EP is a cocktail of musical styles; nostalgic and futuristic, dubby and punky, noisy and moody. Get Lost. Get Found. What dimension did we just vortex into? What planet have we landed on? It Doesn’t matter, it's fuckn’ weird but you can’t stop dancing.

Sliding in on a shrimp sandwich, Serious Hots’ Debut EP is pleased to see you. Splashing a range of tempos, all grounded in bassy house and electro. Ardently outré vocals are spoken and dotted throughout; pops, sniffs and aah’s as percussive guides. If you’re going to have fun, please take it seriously...
In your face, Ha! is first off; broken garage that zaps and bogles life’s worries clean off the dancefloor. Funny weird basement vibes all over.
Information plugs the humming jack lead in. Fuzzy, driving house to console every broken heart with sleazy acid.
The Sexy Professor resolves your dating strategy over a soundtrack of sloppy grooves, perky squelches and triangle tings.
Rounding off the EP, almost to explain everything, I’m LSD revives a 90s rave rap recounted at afterparties. Heavysparse techno gives way to ripening synths that do indeed leave you feeling like a tomato tree.
Early support from: Ivan Smagghe, C.A.R, Not An Animal, Viscera, Dave Harvey

Serious Hots EP

PREMIERE | Serious Hots - Information [Serious Hots Records] 2022

One of Stockholm’s finest exports, Elfenberg, arrive at Bordello with four slices of synthesizer goodness. The duo open with “Forever Alone”. A cruising arpeggiator steers its way through glistening snares, rolling kicks and classic italo vocals. Night falls in the jungle “Conga Coronation”. The treetops bristle with birdsong, thickets of bongos, toms and rain sticks lead a path to dawning melodies. A wonderfully textured percussive piece, the track is intricately carved and demonstrates the diversity and depth of Elfenberg. The disco dipped futurism of “Sphere Of Missing Out” follows. Echoes of “Conga Coronation” rhythms are countered by beaming synth bars and vocoder lyrics with the Swedish pair pushing for the floor. “Cosmic Tribune” is the curtain close. Astral chords, spiralling key shifts and incising drums coalesce in this space inspired finale. A truly stunning debut from this talented partnership.

Forever Alone

PREMIERE: Elfenberg - Conga Coronation

Appearing for the first time on our humble premiere section, the promising Italian label My Secret Agenda opens its doors again for Hola Estrella, a rising & shining Venice-based duo whose previous works published on NEIN and My Secret Agenda itself have drawn the attention of the Indie Dance community to the sonority of these obscurity and psychedelia lovers. The forthcoming episode of their music journey is the remixes EP of the last summer’s well-received release “Amen” which counted with the collaboration of Mattia Bison for the title track. This time, besides the interesting Ritual Mix of “Amen”, Mmyylo, From Beyond (SXDNS329), and Eyjafjöll (SXDNS214) jumped in with their respective revisions.

Premiered here, Alex Wastnidge’s version of “Melody Mecca” is a sexy slo-mo chugg cut with a stunning acid attitude and an enticing oriental aura. Oh, you don’t know who Alex Wastnidge is? We don’t blame you, inasmuch as there’s absolutely no piece out there released under his name. But look it up From Beyond… then the search will be fruitful. The list of labels on which he had his endeavours put out is vast. To name a few: Boite Music, Paisley Dark, Paper Disco, Mélopée, Astrolead, Golden Soul, and NEIN. On the latter, he was selected as one of the artists to be part if our Takeover last year, by the way.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/my-secret-agenda/94030
