Behind the next release on Meant Records are Italian duo Boot & Tax, a relatively new pairing made up of Claudio Brioschi and Cristian Croce. Here they serve up three great originals baced with a stellar remix from Alien Alien.
Before now, Boot & Tax have released two extremely well received EPs on JD Twitch’s Optimo Trax and have also recently had their music licensed to Erol Alkan’s Fabric live 77, so the pair are really on the up.
Title track ‘Brace Brace’ is first and is an elastic, analogue workout with gurgling synth lines riding up and down atop steely drums as punky vocals come on at various intervals. Acid and electro, techno and house all get bottled up in the arrangement, which is fresh and just what you would expect of someone backed by JD Twitch.
The Alien Alien remix of this one is slow and trudging, purposeful and swampy. Snaking synths, coarse claps and a sense of foreboding pervade this most groovy of slo mo cuts.
‘Niente Per Niente’ is a dark but balearic feeling bit of chugging disco, with big licks and groaning bass all gliding along at an inviting tempo. Breathy female ad libs add a sense of character to the shadowy drums and ensure this one will set parties like ALFOS on fire. Lastly, ‘Balkan Youth’ gets much more cosmic with its flipping synths, twinkly melodies and rattling percussive patterns. Ascending ever higher, it takes you on a ride through the cosmos and dumps you out somewhere altogether happier.
This is sure to be a breakout release for Boot & Tax who seem right at the heart of the analogue disco revolution.

A2 - Boot & Tax - Brace Brace (Alien Alien Remix)

🎧 SYNTHETIC MINDS

Author / Composer : J.Cardwell Producer
AI Voice : Selena
Project Conception & Global Design : JO 🤖

🌆 Description / Mood

A spoken-word Synthwave reflection somewhere between poetry and realism.
This track exposes the illusions of modern life,
the emptiness behind the glow,
and the slow decay of real human connection.

💡 A neon monologue for those who still think.
⚙️ Between silence and noise.
🌃 Beauty and disillusion.
🕶️ Digital ghosts and human remains.

🧠 LYRICS 

🎬 Intro :
They scroll…
Like priests of nothing,
searching for truth in a screen reflection.
Nobody reads anymore,
nobody listens just reacts.

💬 Verse 1 :
Everyone wants to shine,
but nobody wants to work.
Plastic DJettes with power-off decks,
smiling for algorithms.
Ghosts build their beats in the shadows
while stars collect the credit.
Labels sell souls by the kilo,
and call it a business plan.

🌌 Bridge 1 : 
The crowd dances,
not to music 
to marketing.
Fame became a product,
art became a slogan.
Silence? obsolete.
Depth? canceled.

💔 Verse 2 : 
People eat trends,
drink validation,
think what they’re told to think.
Human links replaced by Wi-Fi.
Every opinion is sponsored,
every dream optimized.
Musicians fear honesty
more than failure.

⚡ Bridge 2 :
They call it collaboration,
but they mean transaction.
Three chords, two hours,
a price tag with ego included.
Singers chasing money before music,
industry bowing to algorithms.

🌙 Outro : 
And somewhere,
in the static of all this noise,
a real song still breathes.
Small. Imperfect.
But alive.

"Maybe Silence Was The Last Luxury We Had" 
By J.Cardwell Producer.

Presents 
@alijamieson (Feat. @raffmusic) - Ever After Love (Single)

RELEASE DATE: 11th Nov 2015

With other reMixes from @rhayader & @pokerpav

Press inquires: pr@electronicrumors.com

Back for more! The modular Disco genius Ali Jamieson has once again partnered up with one of London's most soulful voices, Raff, to drop their utterly infectious follow-up to 2015's 'Coffee Stain'.

'Ever After Love' serves up everything you musically need to keep you cosy this winter; warm cavalcade of analog synths and rubbery grooves provides the perfect blanket for Raff's silky croon.

Dripping retro cool and sultry climate, 'Ever After Love' is sure to heat you up body and soul and set the sexiest of dancefloors on fire.

'Ever After Love' is backed with a nine minutes Cosmic Disco reMix from the machine master Italo Brutalo, Rhayader's chilled and passionate smooth Disco take and a dancefloor destroying deep and bassy House workout from Rubber Legz.

About @alijamieson 
When he's not heading up the Heavy Disco label, being part of the MoFi-HiFi crew, teaching music production or DJing, Mr. Ali Jamieson trades in a slick line of springy-bassed Nu-Disco and synth Funk tunes. The London based musician regularly unleashes funky and innovative reMixes and Edits to critical acclaim injecting both a sense of fun, and a dedication to his craft into everything he does.

About the reMixes 
We've got three wildly different takes on Every After Love for any occasion. Italo Brutalo wokrs his Italo magic with an epic Cosmic Disco vibe, Ben Rayader smooths things out with a slick poolside jam and Rubber Legz send us deep into the heart of UK clubland with his bassy House mix.

About @electronicrumors
Formed after the success of the 'electronic rumors volume 1' compilation as a boutique electronic music outlet concentrating on quality over quantity, developing artists and releasing some of the best synthesizer music around.

PREMIERE - Ivan Fabra - Rising Pulsar (Codek)

Oh, Juan. We love thee, we love but thee with a love that shall not die ‘till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old. Once in a blue moon, there is a star for whom we see limitless possibilities, whose inevitably long and fruitful œuvre all but insists we do everything in our power to nurture and provide support. We diligently examine that sky, seeking rarefied meaning from an often desperate and banal universe, and over this past decade you have surely proven one of the brightest, most wondrous and tenacious cosmic forces we’ve encountered. Your kaleidoscopic wealth of personality, your emotionally urgent storytelling, your obsessive-compulsive weaving of voices siphoned from the pop culture æther, your ability to synthesize teachings from the Atlantic Northeast, Caribbean and Fatherland to pen an ever-evolving musical autobiography; these superhuman strengths are not lost on us. The 'Oxford House' EP is particularly special, as 'Fahrt Im Himmel' was our fateful introduction to your work, and though that meeting in a writhing maniacal pit of half-naked sweaty bodies was nearly five years ago, it still lives romantically close to our hearts. We just know the world will fall in love and 'Let It Go', just as we did. It’s exciting to see you merge a musical adolescence with the now evolved Juan Ramos of 'Oxford House', recognizing your significant coming-of-age and never shying away from your roots, but rather confronting and embracing them at your every turn. We will continue to champion your creative process and output, in hopes of fueling your inherent quest to illuminate uncharted regions of your vision. With all our love, always and forever, the ESP Institute.
