Out Yer Box, the leftfield sister label to Jack Said What, has unearthed a major new talent in Corserine. The prolific Scottish producer is about to unleash his debut album, which is stuffed full of melancholic dream-pop, neon nu-disco, future-retro soundscapes and sultry shoegaze. It’s the soundtrack to a science fiction film that hasn’t been made. Yet.

Indeed, Corserine main man Caro Tyle cites 1980s sci-fi films as a core thematic and sonic inspiration. “In those films, there’s always a nightclub scene set in the not-too-distant futuristic dystopia,” he says. “I’m basically making the music playing in those scenes.”

The album starts impeccably with the neon funk of debut single ‘I Know You Want Me Baby’, its dismembered pleading vox offsetting futurist synth work and little hardcore percussion fills. ‘Drunk Robot Cat’ could appear in Drive or JG Ballard’s Crash movie, while tranquil lullaby ‘As Gabriel Sleeps’ evokes an otherworldly 80s MOR hit brought right up to date. 

The album continues its journey through the woozy hip-pop of ‘Narrow End’, while ‘My Love Temptation’, ‘U Got Funk’ and ‘Long Way Home’ all amble along like long-lost Daft Punk funk pieces before winging prog guitar towards the end takes each to another level. ‘Been Drowning’ is like Underworld ‘doing’ Supertramp, while the title track ‘Better Than Paradise’ shimmers with effortless cool.

Corserine were originally a group of childhood friends from central Scotland and California, although its now the singular vision of Caro Tyle. Growing up in Scotland in the 1980s, he was surrounded by a vibrant blend of musical genres and pop culture. While his mother and sister were classically trained pianists, Caro first honed his skills as a guitarist in various rock and punk bands before expanding his influences to include Japanese city pop and rare groove.

In the same ballpark as Barry Can’t Swim, Jamie xx and new Ed Banger signings Myd, and with more than a hint of French Touch contained within, Corserine’s debut album straddles the indie/dance divide and demands to be heard by all discerning new music fans everywhere.

Corserine - Long Way Home

“No Cigar” is a track that didn’t make it onto 2023’s 5 Songs, which was, technically, five songs, so there wasn’t room. It’s a pokey, plonky bit of dance music from Shit Robot (aka Marcus Lambkin), made with Joe Goddard and Al Doyle at their RAE Studios in London.

It sounded… dubby. Like “what if Adrian Sherwood got his hands on this?” dubby. So we asked. And he said yes!

The b-side is classic Sherwood at the controls—a version that’s not fully exploded, but submerged, warped, a little demented. We’re honored and still hearing crazy new sounds every time we play it.

The “No Cigar” 12-inch is out July 25. Pre-order it now before you can’t.

Biography:

Ilya Santana is a name that echoes through the shimmering corridors of electronic music, particularly in the realms of space disco and cosmic funk. Born and raised in the Canary Islands, a place where the Atlantic meets the dust of Africa, Santana found himself drawn to the edges of sound early on—edges where melody could float, and rhythm didn’t have to march. He came up through the analog warmth of the ‘70s and the cold seduction of the ‘80s, and somehow fused both into his own kind of future nostalgia.

His career took root in the early 2000s, not through grand gestures but through consistency—a steady stream of releases that wound their way through labels like Balearic stalwarts Eskimo Recordings and Nang. Each track, a kind of ode to neon dreams and late-night drives, became a testament to Santana’s gift for atmosphere: his music doesn’t just play, it inhabits. There’s a cinematic quality to his work, like he’s scoring the movie of a life that’s never quite real but always feels familiar.

Ilya’s sound is less about chart-topping bravado and more about evocation. It lingers. It hums beneath the surface of memory. Through remix work, original compositions, and DJ sets that feel like journeys, Santana has shaped a career that’s both low-key and influential—an underground luminary lighting the way for those who understand that some of the best music doesn’t demand attention, it earns it.

Ilya is running his own record label "Astrolead recordings" specialized on the most underground side of Disco, Space/Cosmic disco, Retro and Synthwave.
Also started duties as a sound designer crafting sample/loops packages for "Loopmasters"
