Suzanne Ciani
Xenon
FKSP020

Greg Kmiec’s Xenon pinball machine was released in 1980 and marked a significant milestone in pinball technology and design. The expansion of microchip technology would provide new opportunities for sound designer and synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani, allowing for basic oscillator control and a wider scope for sampling capacity which could facilitate the higher frequencies of a female human voice and entirely reshape the concept of the machine in the process. By using state of the art Synclavier synthesiser technology and an invaluable experience in film scoring and record production Suzanne would devise a complete minimal music score for the machine, then dissect the piece into separate fragments that would be triggered throughout the game play adding an extra creative dimension in player inter-activity (potentially turning the participant into their own musical arranger). By incorporating her own infamous voice box (which had been the focus of a seminal David Letterman Show feature) Suzanne’s combination of a harmoniser and a vocoder also provided the first-ever female identity to a pinball machine which in conjunction with the games ergonomic design and Paul Faris’ figurative graphics (echoing the aesthetic of Rene Laloux and Roland Topor’s La Planète Sauvage) Xenon was able to add a degree of subconscious sensuality to its performance, a feature previously unchartered in arcade development.

This disc presents the full extent of Suzanne Ciani’s groundbreaking musical effects for Xenon, in their isolated form, for the first time ever heard outside of the confines of the machine which recently earned the composer her own induction to the Pinball Expo Hall Of Fame.

Instrumental B-side with a wonderful stack of lush pads & bubbly synths, reminiscing Vladimir Cosma's "La Boum" moments.

This one is the closing track of my latest mix for Radio TNP - favorite!

Dímelo - Private 12" - 1980's - SOLD

As our maiden voyage into an expansive vat of unreleased music by Polish composer Andrzej Korzynski, Finders Keepers Records originally presented his previously unreleased electro/orchestral/experimental score for Andrzej Zulawski’s surrealist 80s horror classic, Possession in 2012. These 25 cues were written and recorded exclusively for the 1981 award-winning film starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neil, but due to the progressive, stark and modernist nature of the finished film less than half of them made it on to the actual director’s cut – leaving many of the tracks on this spackage totally unheard outside of Korzynski’s studio.

The intended Possession score in its entirety marks an important axis in Korzynski’s career where his various musical disciplines overlap. In one respect it marks his first forays into to synth driven electronics and disco drum machines, while other tracks epitomise the well honed techniques used in previous Zulawski scores, such as Third Part Of The Night and The Devil, which rely on his inimitable orchestral arrangements and combination of clavinet, Rhodes, piano and electric guitar.

Available once again on black 12” vinyl for the fist time since its original release some 11 years ago, our ongoing commitment to the important restoration of Korzynski’s music aims to shed new light on the seldom manufactured productions of the composer whose vast cinematic catalogue warrants overdue global status alongside other golden era Eastern European composers such as Kryzstof Komeda, Jan Hammer and Zdenek Liska – not to mention the best of the French and Italian soundtrackers, such as Roubaix, Vannier and Nicolai.

Duplicated and carefully remastered directly from Korzynski’s original master tapes this album boasts the uninhibited studio experiments and retains the pre-cut ambience.

‘THE FORMULA’ is the debut release from @blumitsu, the combined forces of UK club heavyweights @bluetooof and @jossymitsu, exploring their shared love of electro and techno.

Opener ‘DUALITY’ encompasses the approach perfectly with its sinister arpeggiated bassline and dystopian voice sampling laying out the conceptual framework of the project: “The state of having two opposing parts combining as one.”

Highly praised after his debut release on Lola Haro's imprint Small Steps in 2022, Amsterdam-based producer Hame lines up his sophomore effort on French record label Noire & Blanche...Our pick from the release is 'Sand' - thanks to its clouds of melancholia blurring the lines between trip-hop and deep house. With its ultra-syncopated oscillations, LFO-soaked rhythms and woozy snares, 'Sand' sounds like a comforting hypnosis delving into the unfathomable chasm of the unconscious.

@dom_carlo presents 'Tensor', the first project of the Bristol producer's new self-released series bringing bass-oriented explorations from the vaults.

'Tensor' is a stripped-back, percussive club tool combining deep minimal bass-weight with rolling timbau percussion. Paying homage to the Bristol sound, 'Tensor' merges rolling polyrhythmic techno with dubstep roots.

Premiere: Dom Carlo 'Tensor'

Let us present: A Retro Futuristic Collage Vol. 2

It’s been approximately one year since our first retro futuristic compilation was released, and as we’ve moved further into the future, it appears we’ve come closer to the 90s, if not even ventured a tiny bit into the 00s. We might even be in the present, if not even the future. Somehow, with one foot still in the 80s.

As our universes collide, it’s hard to tell what is what. Whether you think this is a futuristic take on Eurodance with an 80s twist, Italo Body or Trance, that is totally up to you. You might even throw in a few other musical universes too. Is it EBM, Dark Disco or Indie Dance? We don’t know and we don’t judge you for deciding.

Enjoy!

Full credit for this mix goes to my gAyDHD. (Can’t live with her, can’t live without her.)
It’s made out of teen obsessions, current crushes, unreleased gems and late-night digs.
All tracks are made by friends and artists I respect and cherish immensely, and I am so grateful they exist because my life without their music would be so…grooveless.
A bit like how I see life, this recording is bumpy, cheesy, sexy, and a little hard at times.
Also, it’s Kylie!
