May 2021

In 2020 we saw the emergence of one of the freshest record labels to emerge out of NYC in an age. We love this label here at 1BTN HQ and are over the moon to hand over the 1BTN airwaves to Our Starry Universe for a 12hr takeover. 
Sean Johnston
DJ’ing since his formative years in the frozen Northern reaches of Yorkshire Johnston has been many things; Acid-House Veteran, Techno Survivor, Alpinist, Hardway Bros and Freelance Disco Consultant but it is his recent production work and now legendary club night that he has best become known for the world over. From the early 90’s institution that was Sabresonic to Disco Bloodbath, Sean has played at many of London’s landmark clubs. He also plays regularly at Berlin’s premier underground venue Salon Zur Wilden Renate, festivals in French castles and the Dalmatian coast, as well as across the whole breadth of this fine aural landscape we live in.

Our Starry Universe Takeover - Sean Johnston - 30.04.2021

Black Light Smoke’s US-based imprint Death Decay Magic invites The Hacker, Cardopusher, Man 2.0 and Adrian Marth to remix tracks from the first three releases on the imprint.

After seven years of brand building as a podcast mix series, Death Decay Magic was launched as a record label in March 2020 by Jordan Lieb aka Black Light Smoke. With a DIY ethos, Death Decay Magic explores the darker, eclectic realms of electronic music, bridging techno with EBM, minimal synth and post-punk.

Death Decay Magic Remixes Vol. 1 is a compilation remix EP, drawing on the first three Death Decay Magic releases; Black Light Smoke ‘Line and Shadows’, Daniel Holt ‘Traveler’, and Man 2.0 & Black Light Smoke ‘Holy Hammer’. Death Decay Magic invites remixes from The Hacker, Cardopusher, Adrian Marth, Man 2.0, and Black Light Smoke on a release that illustrates the labels blueprint perfectly: raw, edgy synth music with ghostly vocals; one foot in techno, the other stepping out into the unknown.

Zone Music boss The Hacker gets things underway with a crunchy remix of Black Light Smoke ‘Lines’ featuring crystalline leads, zapping synths and whirring stabs. Up next, Man 2.0 and Black Light Smoke’s ‘Bodywork’ gets a remix from Classicworks founder Cardopusher as he takes the remix into mystifying territories with revolving modulations bouncing elegantly off the chugging rhythm. Night Noise artist Man 2.0 follows by laying down an industrial-tinged electro remix of ‘Traveler’ with otherworldly atmospheres, gauzy textures and dynamic elements.
Italo Moderni label boss Adrian Marth follows with an interpretation of ‘Bank For God’ as the spiralling EBM sonics flow vigorously and the drilling rhythms get to work underneath. DDM honcho Black Light Smoke then finishes things off with a version of his track, ‘Your Own Hands,’ which fuses rubbery bass grooves, playful melodies and vibrant 909s.

Der (Facets Edit) [Free Shelter]

We present to you our 3rd compilation, Cube, a set of 8 tracks that, as usual, go in different and intriguing musical directions. 

We welcome a brand-new group of artists to the label: Anatolian Weapons starts it off with a slow acid burner; Azaria follows with a hypnotic trance-y track; Ruksby picks up the tempo with an acid-infused EBM heavy-hitter; WLDV gets dark and dirty with an Industrial/EBM smasher; Kidaudra offers a high-tempo monster; Orchid delivers a fun electro-italo track; the recently formed Oblako Maranta project contributes a haunting leftfield tune; and Robert E. Livingood wraps things up with a lo-fi psychedelic new wave track. 

Cube is out on December 17th.

IMPACT extends a conversation that Jorkes had with Lisa Jäge about how essential parties are for freedom of expression. During those times, it was brought home that club culture is vital for exchanging ideas and feelings, drives change and provokes debate about everything from gender identification to sexual liberation. As such, the pair set up discussions under titles such as 'Clubs as Places for Freedom and Emancipation' at the WAF Galerie that Lisa co-curates. Planned talks will coincide with the two further installments of IMPACT, the first of which manifests musically with this six-track collection.

Russian-Armenian collective Delicate Features open up and describe the music they make as 'soundtracks to Rene Magritte's pictures, where day and night exist together.' Their 'Without You' is a beautifully delicate and late-night track with spine-tingling vocals and icy chords. On Bells then feature d.r.a.b. on 'Alive', three minutes of heavenly vocals offset by dark bass and chords. There is a bitter-sweet melancholy to it that leaves a lasting impression. Venice Arms is a new side project from acclaimed dark disco artist Curses, and 'On Ur Mind' is a cavernous bass track with old school jungle influences and shimmering melodies that bring a state of euphoria.

Berlin-based, Italy-born Younger Than Me is a rebel who brings old rave energy to new school club sounds on labels, including Duro and NEIN. His 'Miss Gilda' is a slow and heavy groove with grinding drums and coarse synths unfolding up top. Birds is East London's Katie Wilkinson, who fuses new wave 80s goth, techno, psychedelic and experimental on her shadowy and bleak yet alluring 'A Pointless Trip'. Last comes Germany based US emigree Zamal, a Dj who holds a residency at the label's Romantica Club parties. Here he brings his broad musical taste to 'Inthevoid', a deep and dynamic techno track with cerebral synths.

Tracklist:

1. Delicate Features - Without You 
2. On Bells (feat. d.r.a.b.) - Alive
3. Venice Arms - On Ur Mind
4. Younger Than Me - Miss Gilda 
5. Birds - A Pointless Trip
6. Zamal - inthevoid

IMPACT Vol. 2

Miss Gilda

PREMIERE: Younger Than Me - Miss Gilda [Freeride Millenium]

Facets’ Impulse EP, out this October on Dischi Autunno, is made for the sweaty confines of the dancefloor’s fog-filled spaces—ones that flicker with strobes and neon lights, alight from the energy of the crowd. The New York City by way of Belgrade producer pillages the hypnotic beats of the 1980s Belgian new beat movement on his four track debut EP. With the additional flavors of Italo-disco and freestyle, all overtop the decidedly EBM bassline movements, the EP’s grooves are dangerously addictive as it twists and turns through moody atmospheres. Impulse was written during lockdown and, as Facets notes, was put together in haste: “It was produced somewhat fast,” he says, “and just had this impulse to finish and work on music at that time.”

“My Voice” finds strength in its repetition and trance-like rhythm; its clandestine and mesmerizing sample sets the attitude for the rest of the EP as it demands, “Relax… and accept it.” The track “New Dawn” feels like an extension of the new beat artist, Shakti, with its Middle Eastern-influenced synths that bellow over its chugging bassline. Acting as a peak hour track, “Impulse” demands attention with its synth stabs akin to the Rhythm Device banger, “Acid Rock”—here, Facets’ own interpretation is a powerful addition to the new beat genre. Finally, “Rush” manages to blend dance aesthetics together to create a sleek, polished result that could be compared to his fellow label mate, Curses. Impulse is an exciting first offering from Facets as an arsenal of reimagined underground club tracks that are fresh but, at the same time, remain familiar as a tribute to past dance movements.

PREMIERE : Facets - My Voice

Buylink: https://italomoderni.bandcamp.com/album/krishna-goineau-liaisons-dangereuses-feat-mcl-80s-tapes

Krishna Goineau is well known for his starring role in ‘Los Niños del Parque’ with Liaisons Dangereuses and in other projects such as Velodrome and Xeroox. Through one of his friends we have been lucky enough to receive a hard disk on which there are a variety of unreleased tracks by Krishna Goineau with MCL (Micro Cheap League) recorded in the year 85-86. Krishna lived in Barcelona at that time and was involved in different groups while traveling through Germany and Belgium to create new projects. After dissolving Liaisons Dangereuses in 1983 Krishna started a new project with MCL where you can identify the essence and influences that he had at that time, touches of EBM and metal synthesizers with vocals in Spanish as in the track ” No Information ” These tracks are preserved in excellent quality in which Alden Tyrell has done the mastering on vinyl and digital. Having something like this is like finding a treasure in the middle of a secret island. To finalize the release we have edits from Silent Servant, Curses, Esprit Divers aka Coyu. Deckard & Lucient.

Krishna Goineau Feat. MCL  - La Dance

Hidden Trues

Phelipp - Hidden Trues

As for the second release, the versatile newbeat can be, the versatile this release is. It kicks off with kFactor. A Brazilian EBM-artist, bringing a strong sounding NewBeat track.

On the edge of military rhythms and cheezy acidlines, and an unmistakely ongoing beat. VV303, also an EBM artist, give us more then just pure acid. 303's snorring and humping the dancefloor on fire. Ascended Man is the pseudonim for Olivier Abbeloos, know from T99, Quadraphonia,... joins us on this release with a masterpeace. The track connects modern underground Electro with the strong and dark NewBeat. Another floorfiller.

"Washing the Machine" is the closing track, and a reference to the classic house sound of the Warehouse and other early Traxx, and still fresh and very NewBeat.
As the first release was a huge fresh improvement of todays dancemusic, this release makes the statement clear. FenixFireRecords is here to stay. NewBeat is here to stay.

After the sold-out first edition of Correcciones, Mexican label Calypso returns with Volume 2 of the series, unveiling four strong contenders for Edit of the Year. Starting things off, Calypso co-label boss Thomass Jackson has his way with a weirdo Polish jazz/fusion/funk track that keeps turning left while continually finding the right direction. 
Russian label regulars Simple Symmetry join forces with co-label boss INigo Vontier to deliver a "monster peak-time mantra" that's as perfect for morning rites as it is for nocturnal adventures. 
On the B-side, New York's Facets slows down the tempo of an old goa gem - the result has already gotten support from the likes of Intergalactic Gary, Alexis Le Tan and many others.
Volume 2 closes out in the hands of Italian dandys Marvin & Guy, who offer a magnificent take on a forgotten disco classic. 
Timeless edits indeed.
