“I Need Rest EP” produced by David Shaw (@davidshawmusic), musician, producer and owner of the label Her Majesty's Ship Records, lays the foundations of the project Black Mental (@user-864207920-608546173) which oscillates between Cold Wave and Dark Pop.

It emerges a certain contemporary melancholy, a dancing and haunting vibe, a modest nostalgia for the passing of time.

To complete the EP on Rotten City Files (@rotten-city-records), French heroin Mila Dietrich (@mila-dietrich) and the Argentinian based in Berlin Skelesys (@skelesys) turn the original tracks into a sleazy and romantic dancefloor bombs.

Painter, DJ & musician Alexandra Feusi (@alexandra_feusi), a Swiss-Polish artist based in Vienna makes her debut on Iptamenos Discos with her debut single “Hello Sunday”.  
 
The second release in the recently launched single series for Iptamenos Discos, the track falls somewhere between disco, indie dance, house, and electronica and features melancholic vocals
which contrast with an upbeat and joyful melody and a bouncy and energetic bassline, creating an atmosphere that blurs the line between happy and sad and leaves the emotional meaning and intention of the song up to the interpretation of the listener.

The song was written in Vienna in April 2020 and was born out of heartbreak and loneliness. Feeling a deep sense of isolation due to the borders of her home country Switzerland being closed and her flatmates having left to be with their families, Alexandra felt trapped within the situation with no means of escape, how a bug must feel when they have flown into something they cannot flee from.  
 
“Hello Sunday” was created to process this peculiar predicament she found herself in and found relief after subsequently reflecting on this feeling and finding humour in the fact that in a moment of despair she somehow found herself strongly resonating with a bug. She came to the realisation that it is easy to forget that no one is special or alone in these feelings, even if you feel as if you are “the only bug in a world of bugs”.   

Alexandra is currently studying at the Kyoto University of Art and Design, and the cover artwork incorporates her paintings. Alexandra talks about how both her music and art have the same origin, both are art and are equally important, serving as inspiration and energy for each other.    

“Hello Sunday” will release via Iptamenos Discos on digital and streaming platforms on the 17th of October 2023 with the original mix and an instrumental version.

Across two mammoth, critically acclaimed compilations Berlin-based Musician and DJ Curses' Next Wave Acid Punx series has shone a blacklight onto the darker side of club music. Featuring tracks from the 1970s right up to the present day made by both musical legends and up and coming talents alike, Curses has expertly threaded the needle between Experimental Pop, Post Punk, EBM, Electro, Techno and more to produce a stunning alternative history of clubland. 

But, as every good digger knows, there's always more gems to uncover and so once again Curses has crowbarred open the electronic music's vaults to bring us four more long forgotten tracks, each one "Revamped" for maximum Dancefloor effect with Curses himself providing 2 edits alongside precision tooled reworks from Melbourne based Stockholm Syndrome and NYC's Andi.

Having previously taken a razor to J.W.B. Hits The Beat's Body On Body track on Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX, Curses now turns his attention to the group’s House Fatale. Originally released in 1988, House Fatale is a classic example of just how fast electronic music was evolving back then, bringing together elements of Electro, Freestyle, House and more amongst a riot of samples, all elements Curses retains whilst nudging the tempo and giving the track a harder edge.

Dina Summer launch into 2025 with the final single, ‘Promise Me’ from their forthcoming album, Girls Gang. Featuring Curses and Joshua Murphy, the captivating new single is released on January 7th via Iptamenos Discos.

‘Promise Me’ is an intense and passionate track that encapsulates the all-encompassing feeling of love. Together, they create a romanticism that deepens the core themes of obsessive love that echoes throughout the Girls Gang album. Beginning as a sorrowful and emotive lament, the track builds emotional intensity, the multi-layers reflecting the complexities of romantic turmoil and desperation, finally erupting in an emotional crescendo.

Dina Summer's new album, Girls Gang, out on January 24th, is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2022’s acclaimed 10-track LP Rimini. Ahead of its release, the group has unveiled seven singles, including the title track, ‘Girls Gang’—an uncompromising, seductive track dedicated to goth icons like Morticia Addams and Elvira; the intense, euphoric-yet-melancholic ‘Schall & Rauch’; the dramatic and theatrical ‘Zombie’; the bold anthem ‘Nothing To Hide’; and the laid-back, pop-infused ‘Hypnotized.’

‘Promise Me’ collaborator, the Berlin-based Curses, fuses New Wave, Post-Punk, and 80s EBM into a genre-defying sonic experience. Known for his haunting vocals and electrifying guitar riffs, Curses channels the dark energy of the 80s with a modern edge.

With releases on labels like Dischi Autunno, Innervisions, Hoga Nord, Throne of Blood, and his own Ombra International label, Curses has become a leading figure in the darkwave scene. His new album Another Heaven (2024) on Italians Do it Better and his genre-defining Next Wave Acid Punx compilations on Eskimo Records cement his reputation as a pioneer of boundary-pushing, cinematic soundscapes.

Joshua Murphy was born and raised in rural Australia, before eventually moving to Berlin and becoming involved in the local scene as a member of various bands (Crime & The City Solution), local promoter and music venue curator released his debut solo EP Lowlands (2022) on aufnahme + wiedergabe.

‘Promise Me’, the epic final single from Dina Summer’s upcoming album Girls Gang, featuring the Curses and Joshua Murphy, is out on January 7th ahead of the album release on January 24th.

Ghent-based powerhouse Eskimo Recordings resurface with 'Next Wave Acid Punx Revamps', a deep dive into the shadowy intersections of EBM, post-punk, and proto-techno...Our pick from the release is Stockholm Syndrome AU’s electrifying overhaul of Voyou’s 'Houseman' - a 6-minute descent into EBM delirium, where dark bass hypnosis, scalpel-edged drum programming and celestial synth cascades collide under a canopy of mind-warping lasers. Warping the track’s DNA into a high-voltage, peak-time anthem, the Melbourne-based producer channels the demented energy of new beat’s golden era, slicing and dicing vocals into a corrupted dance speech.
