YOKOCHO's debut on Ransom Note Records sub-label, Insult To Injury (run by remixer Timothy Clerkin) is a low fidelity, nostalgic tour de force. Hailing from Antwerp, Belgium, YOKOCHO has inherited the New Beat mantle and run with it; putting his own, inimitable spin on it! The EP will also be available on cassette tape, where it truly belongs. 

Lead single Everyday Diamonds is a feel-good summer hit, perfect to lift one’s spirits heavenwards, post-lockdown! Data brings us crashing back to earth with some distorted, visceral 303 action, providing a down & dirty antidote to the single.

Other Side Of The Mirror brings yet more lofi drum machine groove to the table, before we’re drowned in a sea of lush, ambient vintage synthesizers at the breakdown. See You There is the perfect way to close out – if robots in the 80’s dreamt of paradise islands, this was to soundtrack to their dreams. Sublime. 

Label owner, Timothy Clerkin has produced a 303-propelled, Acid-House dance-floor destroying remix of Everyday Diamonds, which provides a counterpoint to the wobbly tape, slow-mo originals, ensuring that the YOKOCHO sound can be translated into any club environment.

YOKOCHO - See You There [ITI#15]

The Spy is on a mission for the 8th Kri release and it ends with a bang. Similar to Wessel's releases on Mechatronica and Osare! Editions, his signature sound keeps evolving by melting electro, EBM and wave into a hypnotising dystopian soundtrack.

His Kri debut is named Halt and Hack and it ranges from melancholic EBM-ish slow burners to mutated wave-meets-electro anthems, rounded with a nostalgic remix by the mighty Zement operator Kluentah.

Available as limited lathe-cut vinyl and digitally on 17th of May 2024.

PREMIERE : The Spy - Speed Boxer

He sped down the freeway, the wild west on all four sides. The heat was blazing down upon no mans land from up above as he drove ever faster into the setting sun.

In the distance he could see the horizon, the end was in sight. Was he being entirely reasonable? Were his intentions pure?

Probably not. But as the car whizzed towards the cliff edge like some sort of extra from Thelma and Lousie, he cared little but for his decisions.

Touch Sensitive are set to release a record from Autumns, who once again channels leftfield experimentation into a bass tinged new album for the label.

PREMIERE: Autumns - Purely Reasonable [Touch Sensitive]

Timothy Clerkin returns to Insult To Injury after over a year away with explosive new Acid-Techno single Sigma. An overt analogue assault on the senses the track was performed live in Clerkin's vintage synthesiser recording facility. The result is a face melting melange of retro sounds & futurism underpinned by the nihilistic vocal sample that belies his Punk musical history. Hold onto your hats, this one packs a punch!

FULL DETAILS

PREMIERE: Zillas On Acid - Mars Hum [Neubau]

The thoughts floated in and out, images danced atop an empty screen as the voices echoed and cried with great whimsy and wonder. These were the moments of wild dreams, a place in which the most careless and most reckless fantasies roamed as the limits and shackles of society were removed.

Anything might exist up here for anything could.

Wandering from room to room of the empty house, there were strange visions and moments to be found within each. Some were haunting whilst others were wildly euphoric like the stuff of a delicate fantasy.

Who knew which door might lead where and what lay behind each?

La Serpiente remixed by Elena Colombi. Now this is a combination we can get behind, this one sounds like something out of a sophisticated art noire film, a horror of sorts with wandering melodies and echoes atop a stomping repetitive kick.

London-based record label DSPPR helmed by Chris Coco gear up to issue the 8-track ‘It's A Beautiful Thing’ LP from Ibiza-based supergroup Warriors of the Dystotheque - consisting of Jonny Mac, Sean Graham, NYC’s twins Mike and Nick Rufalo and Undertones drummer Kevin Sharkey...Our pick is 'Looking Through Balearic Es' – a streamlined piece of downtempo adorned with a multiplex of jazz-infused keys and space-delayed hi-hats unsettling the atmosphere underpinned by Simon Sheldon and celestial guitar riffs from Dan Dub Lounge. In a matter of seconds, Warriors of the Dystotheque transport listeners to the iconic white island's sea-facing caves, at the source of a long-forgotten balearic utopia.

Vilnius-based record label Electric Shapes line up ‘All Is One Remixes‘ from label co-founder and producer Dovydas Platakis, better known as Jokios Kultūros...Today, we are pleased to premiere Tassilo Vanhöfen’s version of ‘Split‘ thanks to its ultra-occult soundtrack blending acid-infused mysticism and synth-driven downtempo. As the track opens with sub-filtered arpeggios and cryptic invocations, followed by a synth-heavy chorus and spiraling hi-hats, it brings the listeners into a state of inexorable delirium for nearly 6-minutes.
