Kalcagni - Target Practice [Cosmoba // CMB003]

After a bit of a breather, Kalcagni is back with another tasty batch of electro delights for his Cosmoba label.
Kicking things off is “Target Practice,” a no-nonsense dance floor weapon. Think chunky analog basslines paired with eerie strings, all held together by rock-solid beats and a live break workout that keeps it raw and energetic. “Improv” follows up with punchy chords, sharp synth stabs, and deep, rumbling bass—built to rattle walls and fill rooms.
On the flip, “Clean Shirt” features a wobbly, warping bassline that occasionally steps aside for lush, stacked pads, creating a hypnotic push-and-pull dynamic. While “Drift n Shift” closes with smooth minor 7th chords, dissonant basslines, and 808-driven grooves.

Tracklist :
A1. Target Practice 
A2. Improv
B1. Clean Shirt
B2. Drift n Shift

TL PREMIERE : Kalcagni - Clean Shirt [Cosmoba]

SUPPORT: https://selvamancer.bandcamp.com/album/a-benumbed-waiting

A Benumbed Waiting is a ruthless odyssey where reality bends and the rhythm of chaos takes hold. This Limited Edition Cassette album contains 15 tracks featuring an unholy marriage of Barcelona’s underground stew and international artists who somehow know exactly how to make pulsating noise feel like liberation.

The compilation oozes grit and mad creativity, from deep acid basslines to harsh industrial textures, wonky bass explosions and driving electro rhythms.

Also: Fuck Trump. Fuck Musk. Fuck Putin. Fuck Netanyahu.
Fuck Abascal. Fuck Wilders.
May they all burn in the lake of fire, forever.

Support your local scenes.
Peace.

"There was something magnetic about her"
It was from these few words that the idea for this new EP was born. What would the songs sound like that would enable me to conquer the silhouette that haunts my dreams? The best way would be to offer her 4 different tracks, but always with the same energy and sincerity.
'Magnetic' drew her toward me, 'Broken Tube' to play the bad boy, 'Gelatin 55' to go out clubbing, and 'Colour Splitter' to go away together in a fast car, away from it all, forever.

Fanzine Records proudly presents "Across The Threshold", the electrifying debut EP from SLIT OBSERVERS.

From the depths of the electronic scene emerges SLIT OBSERVERS, the fascinating project of Alex Veiga and David Crespo. With roots firmly planted in techno, turntablism, and electronic production since the late '90s, these two friends have traveled parallel paths that now converge in a sonic and conceptual exploration of electro.

After years dedicated to the art of scratch and the textures of IDM, SLIT OBSERVERS ventures with "Across The Threshold" into a territory where rhythm intertwines with tension and perception becomes a tool to transform sonic reality.

Inspired by the intriguing duality of quantum physics and the double-slit experiment, their music plays with expectations, creating soundscapes that challenge passive listening. Prepare for an auditory journey where the boundaries between the tangible and the abstract blur as you cross "Across The Threshold".

The debut EP "Across The Threshold" by SLIT OBSERVERS is now available on Bandcamp. Don't miss this fascinating first glimpse into a new and promising sound!

Release Info :

VV.AA - Beats On Wax Ep [Gladio Operations // GO 012]
 
Gladio Operations launches its twelfth release, where the Spanish label returns to the various artists format.

Opening the pack is producer and Distrito 91 label owner Fabio Vinuesa (@fabiovinuesa). Under his newly created alias Protocolo Sysex, he gives us “NottheFuture,” a powerful track with raw bass lines — a benchmark for the dancefloor.
On the same side, we encounter Sinitsin. The Russian artist, who debuts on the label, leaves his mark with "Thinking Machine". A track that reveals his enthusiasm for charismatic and effective melodies, very well sequenced throughout the track.

The B-side opens up by an acquaintance of the label, Jauzas the Shining. This time he is accompanied by Foreign Sequence, and together they have created "Enter the Body". A track of dark aesthetics, served with dramatic vocals, very characteristic of the Frenchman who, of course, never disappoints.
Another artist making his debut is Italian producer Teslasonic.
This fast-paced track titled "Chubby Bee" reveals a minimalist bass line, with subtle and delicate touches of the 303.

The EP is brought to a close by another Gladio acquaintance. Igors Vorobjovs returns with this track titled "For One".
Orientated towards IDM sounds, the Latvian producer once again envelops us with a passage of deep and mysterious harmonies, which undoubtedly makes it a timeless piece.

Tracklist : 
1. Protocolo Sysex - NotTheFuture
2. Sinitsin - Thinking Machine
3. Jauzas The Shining x Foreign Sequence - Enter The Body
4. Teslasonic - Chubby Bee
5. Igors Vorobjovs - For One
