SofaTalk's deliciously eclectic music presents as a patchwork of styles carefully pieced together to produce a sound that, whilst tricky to define, ultimately is a true joy to experience.

His unique take on electronica pulls influence from across the global underground, his homeland of Italy, the nu-jazz movement, and beyond. Charged by boundless energy, the one-man producer and artistic powerhouse splits his time between managing his label Cognitiva Records, overseeing the artistic direction of event-brand Cognitiva All-Star, and hosting his monthly radio show Soundscapes on Universal Rhythms Radio. Any time left is spent toiling away in his Rome-based studio, working on remixes collaborations, and continuing to refine his far-out signature styling.

An alchemist of beats, SofaTalk's unconventional take on electronic music has been featured on international labels such as Banoffee Pies Records, Yam, Movement, Tusk Wax, Roots Underground, Broken District, Boogie Café, and Oath. Whilst household names such as Fred P, Bradley Zero, Byron The Aquarius, Lefto, Carista, Seb Wildblood, Auntie Flo, AliA, DTM Funk and Paula Tape have all supported his past work.

On February 28th, SofaTalk debuts on Oath to release a new 8-track album titled, 'The Soul's Code' featuring the production talents of fellow alt-house maestros, Veezo and Zopelar. Three teaser singles can be expected on the 31st Jan, 15th and 22nfd February. By drawing on what seems like an infinite stockpile of genres, Italy's SofaTalk plots an idiosyncratic path for fans on his sophomore album project. Opening track 'Dub Lush' feat. Veezo is oozing with charm and character. Steadily unfurling over a mishmash of strung-out low-end frequencies into a whimsical dub-soul brew of peculiar chord arrangements, snatches of saxophone and sweeping overtones to make for a glorious slice of neo-electronica that sets a defining precedent of originality early.

'The Truth' released as the first single on the 31st of January, sees him employ a gentle thud and kick combo that subtlety loops around a tense, claustrophobic melody. Lifted in parts by a raspy, soulful vocal that nonchalantly carves through the mid-section with juxtaposing intent.

The already haywire nature of The Soul's Code becomes even more erratic as SofaTalk blurs the paradigms of house, funk and broken beat to produce the beautifully bewildering 'Paradiddle' - making for a stuttering, nervous melody that somehow manages to work in a series of jaunty 8-bit videogame effects over a melancholic and fragmented sound design.

As the lo-fi spirit of 'Complex Journey' distills the giddy energy of SofaTalk's second album we find ourselves at the album's halfway house with a beat that plateaus amidst a tie-dye of snappy sound effects and easy-going bongo percussion. Released as the third single on the 22nd February, the jazz-house fusion that fuels each measure of 'Around' underscores SofaTalk's penchant for experimenting to present a beat loaded with jazz-fills, over-mellow percussion and chopped female vocals.

Pinned as the second single release on the 15th February, 'Out of Nowhere' feat. Zopelar kicks off by way of a Latin-like drum loop, tambourine and arching pad work. The beat then corkscrews through a series of dramatic flanged effects, squelchy synth and bosa nova like sonics whilst encompassed by a fidgety house melody. The appropriately named 'Drum Circles' features a medley of deep, percussive elements that assemble like building blocks snapping together one by one creating the foundation for the track before the inclusion of a wobbling bassline takes hold.

The last stop on SofaTalk's wavey album journey comes in the shape of 'Magpie Rules' which epitomises the dream-like essence of the LP with its break-beat core, surreal overtones and mind-bending melodic-structures.

Turkish record label Oath prepare to release their next cosmic dispatch from Rome-based groove scientist SofaTalk. Our pick from the release, ‘Drum Circle’, plunges headfirst into percussive psychedelia, SofaTalk’s drum programming twisting and turning like a Möbius strip of South London-bred syncopation and Mediterranean heatwave. A kinetic lattice of space-dusted samples and bass arpeggios locks into orbit, while spectral vocal echoes ripple through the mix like ghosts of future-disco utopias. A club track for the heads, feet, and spirit alike.

Tartelet is pleased to welcome the tranquil acid delights of fast-rising Frankfurt-Leipzig duo not even noticed for a brightly melodic, rolling EP of positive party gear. Out May 30.

Since forming in 2020, the pair have won over a succession of well-established labels and dancefloors with their infectious, easy-going approach to acid and breakbeat. The mellow, soulful mood on their Aerial EP arrives as the perfect soundtrack to the brightening skies of spring in the Northern hemisphere.

From the airy pads of 'Aerial' and the psychedelic chill-out breaks of 'Voidness' to the tough groove of 'Fidelity' and 'Affected's tightly wound electro framework, there's plenty of scope across the whole record without losing a grip on the warm and grounded mood that makes this duo such a resounding success wherever their music gets an airing.

Coming correct with an all-too-rare restorative quality to their tunes and a serious weight that comes to life over a big system, not even noticed are a perfect fit right here on Tartelet.

The 12-inch is limited to 300 copies and comes in a black sleeve with a specially designed sticker.

Following last years debut on Especial, Alphonse returns with a stand out dance floor bomb of an EP from afro-dub-house to basement breaks, backed by imperious remixes from rising stars The Pilotwings and DJ Normal 4.  

While the techno-breaks-poem Same For Me came with its own soliloquy of life and the transcendental mediations of dance, head-scratching and indifference ensued as the EP, backed with Junior Fairplay's monstrous-amen remix, slipped by all but the most 'switched on' heads - thanks Zaltan!

Now back, but still keeping to the shadows, with more sound system shaking cuts via the afro leaning Smokey and breaks pump of Glint AM. Smokey is a true heir to a unique British take on House. Congas, bongos, kick, dub bass lines and chants riding twisted fx - a true Warriors Dance.  

Next Glint AM takes things back. Skipping hats atop an 808 throb before Detroit inspired strings and Akai vocals await a Mayday bass to lift hands and hearts. This is no pastiche but born of life's love and experience, of misty mornings, standing on beaten up trucks, arms a lot, higher and higher.

Time then to hand remixing duties to rising brothers from other mothers. The Pilotwings retake of Smokey shows a crew at the height of their powers, stripping the beats back to allow time and space to ascend - letting it all float away. Things are closed by "one to watch" DJ Normal 4. An old head at heart, member of Cologne's Aiwo Records and name to check, his deeper take on Glint AM includes a nod to the atmospherics of Biosphere and Leiner while keeping things, always, always, always...looking to the future.

With support from Gerd Jansen, Dauwd, Zalton (Antinote) and Kim Ann Foxmann.

Reptant - Ether [Salt Mines]

Another win for the Glowing Pin as Müller & Wandt drop a fresh new age groover on a killer club dub tip. Elsewhere Phazer Boys, Suzanne Kraft, Philipp Otterbach and River Yarra remix the pscht out of their favourite tracks from ‘Instrumentalmusik..’. Expect Goan hits, cosmic trips, loved up rave and chilled out wave on this flawless five tracker.   
Growing Bin becomes Glowing Pin for the most anticipated rematch of the century. Back at the beginning of 2018, Wolf Müller and Niklas Wandt went head to head for a box office smash, throwing a high school percussion tray, wall of hardware and voodoo skull into the ring for the tribal trip of ‘Instrumentalmusik Von Der Mitte Der World’. 
Now the multi-instrumental duo face off once again, but this time it’s a royal rumble with Phazer Boys, Suzanne Kraft, Phillip Otterbach and River Yarra all bringing the noise to the Glowing Pin.  
Müller and Wandt dominate the action on the A1, playing loose with sampler vox, serene pads and future primitive rhythms on the unreleased ‘Fun Dub’ of the also unreleased ‘Dub Dub’. Imagine Ferris Bueller’s trampoline tumble trading Chicago to the Weissenhof and you’ll sense the mood of this New Age groove. Germany’s number one party dudes, those freaky Phazer Boys take a break from dropping killer Candomblé cuts to reach for the lasers on the A2, taking ‘Ahu’ to another dimension. Dripping in neon body paint and armed with fire poi, the Düsseldorf duo power up progressive house sequences, didgeridoo bass and thumping tribal house percussion for a wall-shaking, speaker-breaking remix.   
The B1 belongs to synth whiz Suzanne Kraft who revels in glistening, gliding glory on an expansive remix of  ‘Auflösung’. Sleek, serene and futuristic, the track shimmers like Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, free from inequality and rendered with the 5D(ub?) majesty of a DMT breakthrough. 
B2 hears Salon associate and serious talent Philipp Otterbach take over on a stripped back and psychedelic post punk dub of ‘Expedition’. Angular bass by Süne Große and a stuttering rhythm underpin astral flourishes and the hazy vocals of Lucas Croon before the African elements begin to move to the forefront. 
Last man standing is Australian outlier River Yarra, who leads us into the Krautback with a chugging dub of ‘Weltraumsandalen’. Lent a lysergic sparkle by a percolating one-note bassline, this slow motion stunner masters perpetual motion amid the eerie echoes of the bush, organic percussion and electronic animal cries fading into the night. Let the pins glow again.
