Rigopolar - Inversus Totalis EP
BUY LINK: rigopolar.bandcamp.com/album/inversus-totalis
Label: Tour de Infinite
@rigopolar

One of our favourite Mexican artists Rigopolar mints his new label Tour De Infinite with a standout new EP that explores rugged analogue disco. This amazing Inversus Totalis EP contains four killer tracks - not to be missed! 

Manuel Castaneda a.k.a. Rigopolar is now based in Miami. He mixes up Italo, disco, techno and wave music on labels like Duro, Aeon, Nazca and Tom Tom Disco. He is a mainstay of the dark disco scene and always takes dance floors on a trip through space and time with his rough-edged but majestically melodic sounds. His new label will be a place for his most comprehensive musical statements yet, and the first offering is an instant classic of the genre.

Kompakt unveils the third volume of Jörg Burger’s “Velvet Desert Music” compilation series, dedicated to music that hits the sweet spot between the cinematic, the (pop) ambient, and the psychedelic. With “Velvet Desert Music Vol. 3”, Burger and his friends wander afar, taking trips away from, or adjacent to, the dancefloor that’s acted so long as the crucible for the Kompakt aesthetic. Like its predecessors, it’s a gorgeous, lambent collection of late-night mood music.

Because it’s such a broad church, “Velvet Desert Music” admits all kinds of new experiences, as well, with Burger looking for music that “goes beyond the desert to explore different corners of the velvet universe”. Indeed, of all the volumes in the series, this third installment feels closest to an album made by a true collective. The roster has changed, with new contributors Flug 8 and Seb Martel, both with his trio Las Ondas Marteles and with Chocolate Genius and Zsela as La Finca, joining regulars The Novotones, Mount Obsidian, The Golden Bug, Paulor and Sascha Funke.

Burger himself shows up alongside Fritz Ackermann of The Novotones and Max Würden and Thore Pfeiffer, in The Velvet Circle. Their contributions are pure lush life electronica: “Our Tribe” hitches a ride with a low-slung groove, flickering psychedelic reels of acoustic guitar traipsing across moody bass and taffeta layers of drone; their opening remix of Flug 8’s “Puerto Rico” gently introduces the album with softly tangling electronic tones, while guitars, drenched in reverb, pirouette in the background. Mount Obsidian’s remix of Burger´s The Black Frame “Sacrosanct” spins around the listeners ears like a kaleidoscope catching the reflections the sun makes in San Luis Potosí’s ornately decorated churches.

La Finca’s electronics and voice miniature, “What Clouds Say”, is a masterclass in poetic restraint; Martel’s “Dark Mambo”, remixed by Burger, is one of the collection’s big surprises, for it indeed does what the title says, a drifting, surrealist take on the mambo form, full of pensive chords, rich with unrequited longing, a breathy saxophone whispering under the song’s sly rhythmic carriage.

Old friends reappear, too: Golden Bug’s “Es Cucuruc” is a muted slow burner. The Novotones chime in with a slyly propulsive, Krautrock-esque charmer, “Liberty Bell”, and the guitar-led tone-drift of “Valley of Oblivion”; Paulor’s “The Last Coke in the Desert” is a chiming, lilting dreamscape; Mount Obsidian are joined again by vocalist Charlotte Jestaedt for two modern takes on early-hours art song, „Fade“ and „Marole“, the closing track of the compilation, which is a spooked requiem for times passed. Sascha Funke’s “Mathias Rust” is a lavish dancefloor dream, vocal samples drifting through the song as it slowly envelops the listener in its opulent radiance.

What’s most compelling about “Velvet Desert Music Vol. 3”, perhaps, is the way everything sits together so tightly, so neatly – it’s the album in the series so far that feels the most like it’s been made by collaborators in one long, playful session of experiment and exploration; everyone’s on the same page, exploring the fractured wastelands, dust squalls, sunburnt scapes and psychedelic cacti of the psyche; burnt sienna, desert lilies and willows, fairy dusters, yucca and greasewood… an extravagance of blooming, riotous colour, erupting from the sun-cracked landscapes within each of us.

This is just a taste of the rich pleasures of Velvet Desert Music Vol. 3, a triumph of a compilation that takes the psychedelic visions of its predecessors and looks for the desert within, a dusty kiss, a road-movie hallucination flickering on the listener’s eyelids, a cinematic projection from deep inside the mind.

MORE EXPRESSO

In this offering by the Berlin-based and made in the Middle East label Disco Halal, we bring you something fresh from Tel Aviv. Following Naduve‘s releases on Rothmans and Cocktail d'Amore, it’s time for him to come back home. This release comes tastefully spread with Saturn Memories (Marius of Coma) special Tahini remix.
We shook hands with one of them. The handshake is thought by some to have originated as a gesture of peace by demonstrating that the hand holds no weapon. This ancient, short ritual took place several times, here, with some limited success. Does this ritual hold any meaning anymore? The race is long, far from being close to it’s end. It’s a race for a handshake.
This record is one of many efforts to make this race be heard. It may sound naive now, or even pathetic, but what are we to do? When cousins meet at family dinners they might fight each other for the chance to raise the cup “The Father’s name”. This battle is soaked with the music of their family, they know each other by its fabric. We wish to take them to the dance floor and play them music to shake hands to.

@autarkic 
Everybody needs an amazing love story to blow up in their face and destroy everything they are, it's a must for every artist and human that wants to get to his core of understanding, the center of the pain, the middle of his earth, we hate to say it, but sometime that's the best thing that could happen to a person, especially A Talent like Nadav Spiegel, going back home was by far the second best thing he did , first of course, being this album. describing music is useless, emotionless, you just need to put the needle at the beginning, and listen, and as the story unfold, so will your heart, it's over now you know.

I Love You, Go Away

The idea of a remix of Emmanuelle was in the air, we liked the idea to go deeper into the concept of this quite iconic character which has been exploited in so many different ways in literature and movies. 
Emmanuelle’74 refers to the original movie released in 1974. 
The cover art is inspired by Voyeurism, Los Angeles 1989, Helmut Newton
The burning man is also close and we were all excited preparing all our personal Transfinity merchandising completely hand crafted.
We spend time in the studio painting t-shirts and working on the new Emmanuelle release: this track meant to be our last release before the Burn, before going back home in the Playa.
Enjoy the journey.

The Phenomenal Handclap Band from New York has been known for a couple of funk-driven releases before, but also for supporting or collaborating with such giants as Bryan Ferry, Marcos Valle and Nile Rodgers & Chic.

Kolago Kult is an irregular party and DJ/VJ/production collective based in London. Formerly known as Tales of Voodoo, they transcend musical genres and serve up anything from disco to afrobeat to psyched-out weirdness. First up on this latest EP is the freaky ‘Sangoma’ which sets the mood for the ceremony with tribal drums and ancient chants. It’s a wobbly dub cut that is expertly loose and limb-jangling. In ‘Curse go Back’ an old vocal sample takes us on a journey amongst steel drums and marimbas, this one is a real trip deep into the jungle on a pounding beat embellished with exotic FX. On remix duties, two old Calypso members are brought back to spice things up. Firstly, TYU takes ‘Sangoma’ straight into a twisted territory with a superbly entrancing reworking. Colossio then brings a darker and hypnotic mood to ‘Curse go Back’ to finalise the ceremony. This latest transmission from Kolago Kult is a neo-ritualistic EP that is sure to cast a fine spell on all who hear it.
