Odopt - Eastern Versions [777_1991] Preview

Glaswegian collaborative project of our well known producers - MR TC and Lo Kindre - has grown into a result of a new label on radar, Phase Group, as well as their first soon to be released EP, PHASE001.

The Knees is a second track of EP’s hypnotic, analogue-fueled rhythmics. Minimalistic and full of prominent synth notes, it guides us through the synthesis of mixed genres and motifs of darker electronics, making listeners journey genuinely mysterious, yet captivating.

PHASE001 will be out on 14th August available from Rubadub.

MR TC & Lo Kindre - The Knees

Her vision was hazy as she lay back amidst the long grass. It was peaceful and quiet out here in the middle of nowhere, she'd missed that. She zoned out as she began to think of the chaos of the city a million miles away, it had never been her home, more so a resting place. This was where she belonged, in the wild open spaces and the bleak outback of the North. She closed her eyes and listened to the birds chirping in the late afternoon sunshine. She fell asleep...

Marguerite Records are releasing a compilation in support of the Niguarda hospital in Milan in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. It features a wonderful collection of music from some noble musicians to have been happy to give to the cause. This is a track from Pasiphae taken from the release.

Parallel Routes is the new Various Artists by Random Numbers. 14 tracks made by artists we love across Europe: A Hand (Italy), Accou (Belgium), Anatolian Weapons (Greece), Artis (Nederland), Bss (Nederland), Black Seed (Italy), BXP (Italy), Carcass Identity (Belgium), Exhausted Modern (Czech Republic), Front De Cadeaux (Italy/Belgium), Heap (Austria), Új Bála (Hungary), UVB76 (France), Wang inc. (Italy).

After the first week of lockdown, we were forced to postpone all of our scheduled releases, so we started thinking about a new V.A.
Our inspiration behind it was the mutual support to overcome the lockdown and the discomfort it brought. As such, we started to contact the artists we love asking them to collaborate.
The result is astonishingly homogeneous, even if we were locked in our homes thousands of kilometers away from each other.
As a record label, we recognize the importance of not interrupting our work, to support independent artists during this global crisis.

We may be apart, but we're going in the same direction. We are in Parallel Routes.

14. Exhausted Modern - Severe Droughts SNIPPET

Artist: Dona feat. Aloth 
Title: Mindscapes
Label: Mannequin
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital
Release date: 28/08/20
Purchase: https://mannequinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mnq-138-dona-feat-aloth-mindscapes

Consciousness is only the vanguard of human psychic existence. And behind it, behind the vanguard of consciousness, is a long tail of hesitations, weaknesses, complexes and prejudices.
Dona Aka Dj Plant Texture’s debut on Mannequin is the result of an effective true love for the early Chicago Acid and Jackbeat, mixed with textures of EBM and Cold Wave.
“Mindscapes”, featuring the haunted vocals of Aloth, represents a trip into states of consciousness and psychiatric diseases. Ispired by some reports describing America’s Mental health System during the latest 70’s, the EP is a blend of analog machines, forced to create the perfect jam session.

PREMIERE #1122 | Dona feat. Aloth - Mindscapes [Mannequin] 2020

Today we have the immense pleasure to introduce you to Vinilette.  Vinilette’s musical story begins in Barcelona at her 18´s as she started collaborating as a radio presenter in the notorious pirate radio station, Radio P.I.C.A, nourished by many music genres such as Punk, Hardcore, New Wave, Disco and more. While electronic music emerged she started combining it in her selection and began to take part in an electronic music radio show. She developed her own way of DJing and formed her background base with a unique and diverse style - never committed to one genre and with a certain approach for the obscure, raw and old school sounds.
Today, she is 'visiting' Tales of Psychofonia with a heartfelt interview and a special mix, filled with exquisite Dark Wave and some avant-guard Body Music, reflecting her immense musical knowledge and unique and eccentric style. She talks about her experience of the confinement, her long musical journey, her recent collaborarion with Frigio records, the Berlin 'effect' on her and the challenges of the social media exposure.

Third number in the DDS split series after a pair of releases courtesy of Betonkust/Új Bála and DJ Overdose/Sematic4, ‘DDS03’ sees Budapest duo SILF (alias Farbwechsel chief-operators Alpár & S Olbricht) and Den Haag-based pair Intergalactic Gary and Pasiphae join forces on a quartet of elusive, unpigeonholeable power moves.

Four years after the drop of their debut joint EP on Biorhythm, ‘Made of Glass’, I-G and Pasiphae are back at it with two left-of-centre hybrids of futuristic techno on a whirring electro-industrial tip. An off-kilter jam percolating fine hints of spiritual elation and post-apocalyptic anxiety, ‘Microwaves’ gets the ball rolling on a dichotomous note. To slo-scudding flocks of loud, bouncy kicks supersede skeins of brittle chimes and rattling drums, all woven together by subtle tectonic shifts of moody pads.
