🆕 trax new and fresh

Dataintrång & Luke Eargoggle - Poison Arrow

Having been long-time admirers of one another from afar, Hell Yeah and Michele Mininni finally come together for Pop Archetypes. It is a multifaceted debut album that collides broken beats, worldly rhythms, jazz, eastern melodies, live drums and much more into one thrilling 15-track opus that arrives on May 31st.

Italian artist Mininni has always had a leftfield take on electronic music and imbued it with rhythms, melodies and instruments from around the globe. He has released it on cult labels like R&S, Optimo Trax, Internasjonal and Curle Recordings but has saved his magnificent debut album for Hell Yeah. It is much more than a collection of sounds he has already explored and instead finds him heading off into all new territory without losing his signature sense of inventive and beguiling rhythm and melody. It is a multicultural journey that takes in heterogeneous styles and diverse influences but distills them all into one cohesive album with its own unique storyline.

Says Mininni of the record, "I wanted each track to be like pieces of a unique, multifaceted picture, like walking through train cars or progressing through the levels of a video game, all filtered through my own vision and concentrated into 36 minutes. I wanted a pop album rooted in the extraordinary richness of popular music and projected into the future, a continuum where pieces communicate with each other and are received by the ears in symbiotic balance."

Despite that concept, the album is a spontaneous listen full of surprises, left turns and original ideas that all hold together in thrilling fashion. It kicks off with the tumbling jazz drums and swirling synths of 'Spinning Around Cotton Candy', takes in mellifluous melodic layers and broken beats on 'Golden Room' and 'Slipped Air' casts you adrift amongst gorgeous piano keys and refracted vocals on the suspensory 'Vertigo'. There are jungle interludes with Eastern string melodies like 'Bangkok Tempo', lavish fusions of organic and synthetic sounds on 'Kundalini' and more charming Far Eastern rhythms on 'Muting Cat'. 'Congoflash' brings electrifying cosmic rays to busy hand drum patterns, 'The Magic Of Synesthesia' combines dark amen breaks and bright and uplifting flutes while 'Carousel Of Tears' douses you in watery melodies and celestial pads that awaken the soul.

Pop Archetypes is an adventurous work packed with meticulous and infinite details but all with an overarching narrative that makes it far more than the sum of its parts.

Ahhh wicked big fan of his R&S output… the lp sounds totally epic, really into vertigo, urban voodoo, Congo flash & wet market. But the whole LP is definitely going to get rinsed. Propels left field and beautiful!

PREMIERE: Rodion & Mammarella - Un Segnale Di Speranza [ Slow Motion ]

Richard Wright makes his first appearance on the label since April 2022 where he first signed with the label for 1FFNG007 with his track entitled 'Trust Meh'. He returns 2 years on with a 00’s inspired 2 step smash 'Deja'.

Despite producing on and off since 2005, COVID and the resulting lockdowns allowed Richard Wright the time and headspace to start taking things a bit more seriously. Initially being unearthed with his first official release in February 2021 by UKG label Strictly Flava. From that release and the early send out of ‘Trust Meh’ he has already received plays across Rinse, Balami and SWU with support from the likes of this EP’s very own Gemi as well as Ollie Rant, Daffy, Chimpizm and a bag of other UKG producers who are leading the line nicely for underground UKG.

From listening to his discography it's not hard to understand how his inspiration came from the tape pack and record shop culture of the mid 90s to early 2000s. With the recent resurgence of pioneers like El-B and new school producers embracing the UKG and Breaks movement that alone was enough to make the Brummy producer get his skates on and start getting some projects exported out his PC and making 2022 the year he started his push and has been consistent with his output since.

Fukkk Offf & Smitech Wesson - Good Time (Feat. Adam Stinemetz) David Carretta Remix

We are thrilled to introduce @johnpatter to the label. The Vilnius-based  DJ / producer brings forth three original tracks, each offering a unique sonic journey into leftfield territory.
Opening the EP is 'The Risk,' a captivating blend of beautiful melodies and a heavy bassline, tailor-made for a peak-time frenzy. Following suit is the title track, 'Uneven Accents,' a breakbeat-driven monster that keeps listeners on their toes with every twist and turn. Rounding off the originals is 'In Front of the Eyes,' a track that slows down the tempo and ventures into deeper, chuggier territories.
In addition to these originals, label head Facets makes a triumphant return with a remix of 'The Risk,' injecting the track with heightened tempo and energy.

'Uneven Accents' is set to be released on May 3rd.

BUY VINYL: https://ortrotasce.bandcamp.com/album/dispatches-from-solitude
Ortrotasce comes to Dark Entries with Dispatches from Solitude, their latest LP. For over a decade, Nic Hamersly has been using the Ortotrasce (pronounced: or-tro-task) moniker to unleash brooding-yet-propulsive darkwave anthems upon the world. Hamersly’s work explores the intersection between industrial and synth pop, drawing a line from the sounds of the past to the present. Recorded during the Covid and post-Covid era, Dispatches from Solitude brings 8 tracks of tightly wrought synth-pop exploring grief, romance, and our strange world - which just keeps getting stranger. The cover art was designed by Hamersly, and the record includes a postcard with notes. Dispatches from Solitude will thrill fans of classic industrial-laced wave bands like Hard Corps, Fad Gadget, and SPK.

INCOMING : Kay-Chi - Back to 83 (Marcus Christiansen Remix) #ClubMackan

Release date : 30/05/2024
BUY : https://clubmackan.bandcamp.com/music

Let’s head back to 83 and then fast forward till today. Now we got Kay-Chi up for a brilliant EP. This Greek knows his way around hardware synthesizers. That’s for sure! 

One might think that “Back To 83” refers to a specific year when the music was extra good or perhaps some childhood memories. While all of that may be true, what happened in 83 was the introduction of the Roland JX-3P synthesizer. And now you wonder, why is this relevant? Well, obviously because the track was made using that synthesizer, duh! 

To make matters even more interesting, we invited another hardware guru to do one of the remixes, Italo Brutalo. And among these two hardware heroes, our label boss Marcus managed to sneak his way into both a remix and a collab, despite being fully digital. 

Back To 83 is everything you can expect from a classic italo track. It has a super catchy and playful upbeat melody, a robot voice and a female talking about synthesizers. And there’s a very summery vibe about the whole track. 

Marcus remix keeps the best of 83 and amplifies it with a bit of modern attitude, and perhaps you could call it some “soundtrack-y” chords too. 

If Back To 83 was happy and summery, then “Life In A Loop” missed the exit to the summer resort and just kept going north. This one has a bit more grit, intricate arpeggios and powerful synthesizers. Combine that with poetic vocals from Kally Voo that carry a lot of attitude. Voilà! 

And for Italo Brutalo’s remix on Life In A Loop, we once again find robot voices!(!!!) Together with his powerful and catchy synth lead, this remix takes more of an anthemic turn. And we love it! And wow, that kick really packs a punch!

SHUFFA - Energy

Featuring weighty 808s, infectious wonky grooves and menacing breakbeat interludes - Denver’s finest bass technician DMVU is back on DDD with Bruk EP - a release so hot it renders a dragon’s fire half-cooked. 

Released on both vinyl and digital formats, the producer offers a virtuoso statement of intent throughout, meshing the old and the new - with no millisecond wasted in his forensically detailed yet fantastically cohesive audio package. 

EP closer Playback points to history and the future, with nods to the dub reggae that spawned sound-system culture - quickly making way for techy, quickfire and metallic stabs on the drop - one that will do damage, no doubt.
