What's crunchy, sweet and simply delicious? Right, it's the new Disco Bisquit series on @luvshackrecords! Volume one features four club-ready, no nonsense dance tracks, all tied together by touch of 80ies nostalgia.
On the A-side we hear Endrik Schroeder laying the foundation with a modern italo banger by the name of "Heather". What a ride! Read more: https://www.lagasta.com/premiere-endrik-schroeder-heather/

PREMIERE: Endrik Schroeder - Heather

A personal rework of one of my favorite classics ever, New Order's Blue Monday. 
I had mixed feelings the first time I heard it in some club. These dribbling bass drums were kind of weird to me. I couldn't really understand why people were mad when they recognized the track. Then, when I left, I realized the only melodies that were still around in my head were those of this pure classic. I started to listen to it and couldn't help but put it on hard rotation at home and in my studio. I became obsessed with it and even wanted to own the same hardware that was used to produce it (a few days later, I bought an Oberheim DX from some guy who claimed he signed with Virgin Records on the same day as Daft Punk). 
The original multitracks sessions are publicly available so I had to do something...so here we are. I wanted to give the track a more modern & Italo direction, while trying to respect the original vibe. 
Hope you'll enjoy it & spin it in front of passionate crowds. 
The artwork is a tribute to John Carpenter's Christine (1983), which was released a few months later.

EXCLUSIVE
RELEASE DATE 2022-09-16
LABEL Correspondant
CATALOG COR995
As Jennifer Cardini's Correspondent gears up for its forthcoming landmark 100th release, the label welcome another inspiring talent to the fold: Belfast veteran Jordan Nocturne.

Following key releases on the likes of Permanent Vacation and System Records, this Correspondant debut hits all the right rave spots with unabashed euphoria and energy. The titles say it all…

'Moving Around' isn't a suggestion, it's an order as Jordan goes old school with rolling bass momentum and a humungous riffy breakdown that will have you breaking out in goosebumps from head-to-toe.

The same can be said for 'Turn it Out'. Another Nocturne order, this one comes with full-flavoured Italo elements and widescreen synth funk. Armed and charmed with gutsy vocals, it's time to rock the house… And Jordan's got just the right materials. Get moving!

Karassimeon - Discoteca Oscura [RF016]

Get it now on ritmofatale.bandcamp.com & fanlink.to/ritmofatale16

Following his initial dark tribute to French Touch ‘Nightmare Disco’, we are beyond excited to welcome Karassimeon’s first full-fledged EP ‘Discoteca Oscura’ on Ritmo Fatale. 

Karassimeon’s unique sound embodies his conflicting obsessions : disco, EBM and dystopian movie scores. 

The ‘Discoteca Oscura’ is his imaginary representation of a dark club, somewhere between Berlin and Hell, where soulless creatures dance to martial rhythms infused with italo, synthwave & disco. 

Cabaret Mortel blends acid beats, disco stabs and haunting synth bass sequences. Karassimeon’s intention was to bring cinematic tension to the dancefloor, using some of his favorite weapons : TB-303, breakbeat samples, Juno 106 & the evil Pro-One 

Messa Nera is Karassimeon’s Italo manifesto. Inspired by the early 80s sound, with some Moroder-esque touches, this track depicts a dystopian world, where dancers gather in black masses, away from the secular world. 

Rendez-vous comes from an early encounter with Claude Lelouch’s short film “C’était un rendez-vous” from 1976. This short has been an obsession for years, and the pandemic was the right context for Karassimeon : locked for days in his studio, studying his gear and listening to his favorite movie scores all day long. The track has been mostly produced with his oldest hardware : a MK1 Korg MS20 coupled with an overdriven RE-201 Space Echo, a dusty Oberheim DX, as well as his beloved Juno-106 and Solina. 

Most of all, this production is a tribute to the composers who often teamed up with Claude Lelouch, such as Francis Lai. 

And to wrap all this up, who else could illustrate this ode to the Giallo era better than the master Eric Adrian Lee ! 

The American artist is behind most of Giallo Disco’s artworks, the number one label who’s bringing this sound and imagery to the dancefloor. It’s a true honor for us to finally work with him on this particular release. Now the Giallo incantation is complete. Let the ritual begin.

REMIX CONTEST CDH (Chineurs de House)

🇬🇧
Far from Sweely's original minimal-acid-house signature, I have worked on some italo-trance-rave hybrid, and, as you may have noticed, subtlety has never been my forte.
I've been influenced a lot by the great Kendal (among others), but also early Trance from the 90's which has been my 'guilty pleasure' lately. See for yourself!

🇫🇷
Très loin de l'aspect minimal acid house de l'original, j'ai opté pour un hybride italo-trance-rave (appelez cette chimère comme vous le voulez) et comme vous l'aurez remarqué, je ne fais pas dans la dentelle ou la subtilité. 
Quant à mes influences, on peut citer le génial @kendal3000 (entre autres) ou encore la trance des années 'nonante' qui est dernièrement mon guilty pleasure. Jugez par vous même.

Belgium via France, Emilio van Rijsel delivers four atmospheric Italo Disco gems with a hot analog remix from Claptrap boss Vanity Project for his forthcoming release on the British label XXX, managed by REES. Resident DJ at Welcome To My Flat, Emilio has always been keen on electronic music since he was a little kid thanks to his dad's collection of New Wave and 80's Electronica, besides being fascinated by Soul and Funk Music on his mother's side. It was only a matter of time until Emilio grew fond of House Music. 

As he joined the Welcome To My Flat Collective in 2013 to help out in its development, he started playing and mixing at smaller events and parties. Through the years, as he improved and the collective grew, he has played in several venues such as Magazine Club, Gare Saint Sauveur, B-Floor, Aeronef, Les Halles de la Filature etc. and was booked to play in some major events such as N.A.M.E Festival, Les Nuits de la Filature, Soundlux, Lille3000, and Run Deep Festival. Now he makes his debut as a producer with inspirations from all the genres House Music has to offer.

The track we chose to premiere, “Warme Wafels”, brings Italo Disco at its best. The characteristic elements of the beloved genre – the throbbing bassline, the arpeggiated synth layers, the upbeat percussion – are there. The only thing missing is the cheese: No catchy pop lyrics to make us sing along like if there was no tomorrow was added. But maybe it is for the best: Emilio's hot waffles would not pair well with the dairy delicacy, in our humble opinion.
