After a release that did not go unnoticed on Ulla Records first VA “In Motion”, Austher is back with his debut EP “Hybrid Humans”.

His first standalone project flirts with a dystopian, transhumanist and dark-disco-inspired universe. Always blending genres, he subverts the codes of rock and disco with electronic sonorities, to craft his retro-inspired yet resolutely modern sound.

The opening track “Hybrid Humans” sets the stage for the transhumanist journey to come : arpeggiated basslines, catchy leads and bouncing drums making up for an ambiguous, bitterly naive, track. But the reality check comes quickly. “Mind Threat” promptly sets for a much darker tone, with heavy driven basslines, dramatic synths and intense build-ups. “Humanity Resilience” takes this dystopian road a step further. Shaped around hypnotizing melodies, this track pushes up to the edge of rationality. “Prophecy” strikes as a final statement, fully embracing the experimental turn this journey has taken, with its heavy synths, and gnarly acid basslines !

Abandon all preconceptions you have about the future, and dive in Austher’s transhumanist story !

A new release from Playground Records is here. This time, a compact Ep packed with organic sounds and mystical vibes from the Austrian duo Hanzo & Yaman, delivering 3 originals accompanied by 2 classy remixes by Marc Piñol and Cornelius Doctor. 
 
'Apinya Colada' is the track which gives its name to this reference and is which opens it. Mysterious pads alongside groovy percussions introduce us to a deep bassline. Some voices come from far away. The mantra begins. Weird sounds plays togethers and gives to the track a sensation of fresh air. A sad guitar say goodbye in the middle of the trance. Now we're in peace. 
 
'Francisco' is the rebel cousin of this family. A naughty guy who needs to take your attention all the time. He never comes even though you call him all the time. He loves the rough percussions. The brazen Francisco invites us to the dance. You can never say him no. 
 
The original package ends with 'The Path'. A magic end for this fantastic journey. Whispers and laughs are crossed by an incisive guitar. They're fighting each others trying to convince us, some claims us to stay there and other ones beg us to stay away. The confusion becomes diffuse when you give yourself to dance. 
 
Cornelius Doctor makes his appearance to join to 'Francisco's ranks and turn him to the dark side. A strong bassline guides us to an acid drop. The snare beats hard. The shadows are arrived. They ready to kill the dancefloor. 
 
The great Marc Piñol closes this release bringing peace and flow with his remix of 'The Path'. Whistling melodies that melt into flying pads. The groove goes on, clapping and pumping strange sounds. An elegantly minimalist healing trance.

PREMIERE : Hanzo & Yaman - Francisco (Cornelius Doctor Remix)

Just as glaciers heave towards their destiny in slow time, the ship entered the harbour. It’s countless thousands of tons gently docked, and its microbial passengers transmitted onto land. There it waited in silent gravity, expressing weight and weightlessness in one floating gesture. Can we truly fathom the scales of this leviathan?

If Strktur’s first three releases were made for the main room, then his latest album would surely soundtrack the dark room. He leaves behind the grandiosity of his early techno productions to discover a cosmopolitan coldwave swagger on Hors Série, his first LP. Sitting moodily amongst nine other superb tracks of ice-cool electro, 'Le Quai d'en Face' is a leanly arranged cut of austere synth-pop that eschews complexity in favour of a cut-throat groove. Importantly, he cuts ties with Nashton Records, Trau Mar and Airsound Records to self-release the LP on his own Bandcamp, structuring a new identity.

A human being went to explore other worlds, other civilizations, without knowing fully his own caches, nooks and crannies, wells, barricaded dark doors. The human race cannot understand the universe until it is able to understand each other, we are not looking for anyone but people. We don't need other worlds, we need a mirror. What to do with other worlds? We have had enough of one world we have, and the lack of understanding of it oppresses us. 
Paradiso are delighted to release the debut single of Telephony with Rockätansky; a world of New Beat, Dark Disco and EBM influence featuring an iconic remix from Man Power. Out digitally 26th September.

HF : How did you discover this track ? Why did you choose to edit it ?

NA : I discovered this song when my good friend Gil Abramov (Balagan) sent me a bunch of old israeli punk songs.. The moment I heard these vocals at the chorus I knew it could be a great hook for an edit 🙂
The rawness of these guys (Poplex) is very honest.. you can also see it by the video clip of the song.. I can taste the beer they drank in the 80's just by watching this video.

PRÉMIÈRE: Jac The Disco - Hot Like The Sun (Kiwi Remix) [Spin On This]

Creative offspring of the musical fantasies of @Tushen_Rai and @CorneliusDoctor, Hard Fist brings together a passionate, supportive and activist party scene. Celebrating a globalized - but far from rootless - dancefloor where Turkish psychedelia, Lithuanian cold wave, Central African percussion and Indonesian polyphonic chants blend, Hard Fist crosses time and borders with a singular attachment to the folk music of trance, the kind that marks spiritual gatherings and festive rituals. Shaping the technological meeting of man and machine, the Hard Fist sound brings the experience as much on the dancefloor as in the calm of a Bedouin tent, always off the beaten track, with a free heart and clenched fists.

The label has been releasing collective records with artists such as Bawrut, Balam, A-Tweed, Omri Smadar, Matias Aguayo, Fantastic Twins, Philou Louzolo, Deena Abdelwahed, Curses, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Martin Noise, J.A.K.A.M., Omar Joesoef, MR TC, Pletnev, Anastasia Zems, John Parsey, Errortica, The Juan MacLean, Khidja, Roe Deers, Cosmo Vitelli, Ground, Sascha Funke, Fargo Devianti & Vongold, Daniel Monaco, Fringe Society, Elfenberg, Timothy Clerkin, A-Tweed, Ko Shin Moon, Lokier, Pletnev, nICo, Strapontin, Simple Symmetry, Que Sakamoto, Kubebe, Jonathan Kusum, Kaan Duzarat, Los Ninos Del Parque, Feller, Mekine U Teksi, Bab, Linja, Lion's Drum, Mishell, Ayma, Kincaid, Balam, Juan To Tree, Mytron & Ofofo, Niv Ast, Damon Jee, Thomass Jackson, Rina, Fabio Me Llaman Soltero, Hipless, N.O.Y, Oded Gafni, Radial Gaze, Fabio Fabio, Omar Joesoef, Da Iguana, Neskeh, Warum and all artists that collaborated to our edit series Re-Phrase Collection...
