Javi Golo is no outsider when it comes to the underground electronic music scene. The seasoned Spanish artist has been fighting the good fight for quite some time now – since 1984, to be more precise. Being on the road for such a spell turns the mission of sticking to one single genre virtually impossible if you are a true music lover. House, Techno, Trance, combined with Disco, Synthwave, Hi-NRG, resulted in the eclectic and rich sonority he has been dedicating his efforts for the last couple of years with well-received works published on vital labels such as Espacio Cielo, Logia Records, Banshees, and NEIN – to which he returns now to deliver a horrifying and daunting EP: “Dracul” presents itself with four shadowy originals, a couple of fangs, and a gory remix by rising Mexico-based producer Andrea Acosta.

For the track we chose to premiere – the most beautiful of the release, by the way –, JG Outsider opens the tomb of his darkest influences in order to deliver a stunning Cold-Wave-meets-EBM cut with a powerful but sober bearing. The jumping bassline allied with the ghostly pad and the ethereal synth lead supply the perfect ambience for the mesmerizing vocal hooks and deliver the perfect closing theme for a great EP.

PREMIERE  - Alberto Melloni - Scaleno (Ulla Records)

Fresh off the release of his own 'Repertoire' EP and label showcases in Berlin and Brooklyn, label boss Beartrax now prepares the twelfth Melodize vinyl, this time handing a debut to Manuel Ortúzar aka Aural Trace, who delivers the neon-drenched ’Midnight Thoughts’ EP. 

As one half of Random Atlas, the young producer can be found exploring the boundaries of New Wave and Post Punk. Flying solo as Aural Trace however, the Chilean embarks on more synthesized Italo dreams. 

The EP kicks off with 'Soft Lips.' A non-stop, full-speed drive through the radiant passages of outer space loaded with fast synth arpeggios, epic strings and aggressive linn beats, the track is underpinned by a mean bass line and a glossy layer of refinement that will keep those lips super supple. 

“Midnight Thoughts” is characterised by lush retro pads, raw 707 drums, and longing gentle melodies that form to create a romantic midnight Italo delirium, whilst “Resolution” is a romantic ode to an unforgettable time where introspective dx feelings meet tense, detuned synth pads, agitated large gated drums, and a huge, rounded bass. 

Completing the package with a wonderfully compelling rework of ’Soft Lips’ is Melodize favorite Chinaski, who ramps up the tempo whilst staying true to the blazing vibe of the original.

Iptamenos Discos is back with another collaborative EP by label heads Local Suicide (@localsuicide), who have once again teamed up with Skelesys (@skelesys)to provide their stunning ‘In Space We Roam’ EP. The four-track EP includes two original tracks and two remixes by Psycho Weazel and Neu- Romancer. It will be available on limited 12” vinyl, all streaming & download platforms and is set to release on August 4th, 2023.

This scorching new offering follows the trio’s highly acclaimed sensation ‘Moustache’, which amassed an impressive quarter-million streams on Spotify alone and garnered support from renowned artists like Erol Alkan, Joyce Muniz and Curses among others. Far from slowing down, the trio also released EPs together on Snap, Crackle & Pop, Samo Records and on compilations by Eskimo Recordings, Ombra INTL, Logical Records and Sum Over Histories.

DJ/Producer duo & couple, and Iptamenos Discos label founders Brax Moody and Vamparela, make up Local Suicide. They are known for coining the term ‘Technodisco’, which describes their influential and distinctive sound that combines elements of New Wave, EBM, Disco, and Techno. Joining them once again in this project is their long-time friend and collaborator, Skelesys, a Berlin-based Argentinian producer, DJ, and live act. Drawing inspiration from a myriad of influences, including hard rock, sci-fi and horror, his works straddle the line between post-punk, wave and future influences, resulting in a trademark genre-blending and unmistakable sound. 

The first tune and title track ‘In Space We Roam’, focuses on a dark rolling baseline and soft mystical vocals that suggest “the future is now”. Accompanied with punchy drums, floaty synths, and glitchy spaceship like sounds, this tune is sure to take you in to a space of your own. The intricate combination of layers evokes images of a galactic journey towards an uncertain fate. Rising from the ether, a delicate melody intertwines around sorrowful sirens to bring a glimmer of hope to the track. This tune aims to make the listener feel that we are all part of a journey together. Forever adapting and changing in ourselves, we are also sure to feel a collective sense of growth and discovery. No one is alone in the moments that we roam.
 
 The second track, ‘Surface of the Sun’ is a hot one. Pun...intended. Diverging from the softer and mystical vocals of the title song, this tune moves us towards the dark side. A forceful, mysterious and punchy baseline is accompanied by a deep vocal, grooving synths and lush pads to make you feel, well, hot. This is the kind of tune that you want to hear when everyone is feeling collectively sweaty and sexy. Like the sun melts all that enters too close, this tune is sure to melt you too.  
 
Hailing from Switzerland, the rising duo Psycho Weazel provide a darkly beautiful remix of the ‘In Space We Roam’, showcasing the intricate style that earned them collaborations with labels and venues worldwide. Defying expectations with an almost summery vibe just in time for festival season, their version alternates between an almost overwhelming tension and a strangely evocative melody for an intoxicating effect.

Neu-Romancer is a musician, producer, and DJ originally from Fremantle in Western Australia and now based in Berlin. Despite her tight schedule as the bassist on Zanias’ live-tour, the ever-busy artist delivers a joyful remix of ‘Surface Of The Sun’, that increases the tempo and adds upbeat and blissful synths, gritty drums, melodic plucks and musing pads with faded echoes and ethereal whispers intermingle above the haunting growl, creating an otherworldly atmosphere.
With a wide variety of emotions and sonic landscapes, the ‘In Space We Roam' EP is another invigorating addition to the Iptamenos Discos catalogue. The full EP will be released August 4th, 2023 on 12” vinyl and digital.

It's time to get the smoke machines & glitter balls out as Pentland Park bring the heat with their Maître de Sagesse EP for the 8th release on Lava Lava.  The duo have been a mainstay in the Scottish underground scene for many years, gaining a reputation for their eclectic DJ sets and recently clocked up acclaimed releases on Brand New, CB90 Dance Recordings & Everything Will Be OK.  Their latest EP is a foray into classic Italo and Disco sounds accompanied by a sensational remix from Somethin' Sanctified.

Leading the EP, title track Maître de Sagesse takes you straight onto the dance floor with skipping drums, hazy vocals and a sub-heavy plucked basbline.  Hand claps, rattles, guitar licks and fluttering synths inject classic Disco elements into this infectious groove.

On the B side Enterprise is a nod to classic Italo sounds whilst remaining firmly rooted in modern club culture.  An effortlessly cool track where rolling hi-hats, arpeggiated bass and retro snare hits bounce alongside soft synthesisers and sharp pads.

Somethin' Sanctified bring their signature sound with an irresistible analogue take on Maître de Sagesse laid out across 7 minutes.  Crisp percussion, echoing vocals and bright synths lead playfully through the track to a gorgeous breakdown. Resonating low-end bass and four-four grooves bring a classic House flavour to their interpretation.
