No Sleep

Berlin based Dame Bonnet makes music influenced by post punk and cold wave and with a primitive and reverb-drenched production he creates a tragic dream for the listener to sink in to. The music has a sentimental feel to it but the pretentions are avoided thanks to the direct sound and the unremitting drums which contributes to give the tracks a forward momentum instead of a stuck in place-feeling.

Dame Bonnet makes sad club music with traces from the early eighties In England, a society ravaged by the cold individualism as a result to neo conservative politics - a time that resembles ours, where people gets categorized out of prejudice and the social welfare systems are uninstalled bit by bit in front of a sparser crowd of woke people. In Europe, now in the 2020s, a supposed dead ultraconservative monster is coming alive again and Dame Bonnets music makes the soundtrack to that process.

This release, Dame Bonnets first on Höga Nord Rekords, captures, though the songs are all instrumental, an unpleasant atmosphere in our time. The music has its roots in 1980s England but it fits perfect also for the cold present of 2020.

Italian artist Visionnaire's first release on our dear German label Emerald & Doreen Recordings celebrates his musical influences from Italian Wave and Dark Disco, taking a highly energetic club approach. The impressive pack of remixes provided by some of our favourite artists – Stockholm Syndrome (SXDNS165), Sunmantra, MAN2.0 (SXDNS081) and JackWasFaster – perfectly balances the power and melancholy of the originals while adding their own touches and interpretations.

"Shara" opens the EP with an impressive drive, space and robotic sounds, a track devoted to bringing trance and reverie to the dance floor. Despite its beauty and allure, we decided to premiere JackWasFaster’s version due to the boldness of his approach. First things first: He decided to slow down the original… considerably: From 117 to 106 BPM, to be more precise, which means some elements beamed up from the original to the remix were highlighted and thus can be better noticed, like the robotic layer. The guitar riffs and metallic FXs added by big Jack provide an obscure aura to his work. Killer remix here, peeps! "JackWasSlower", and we loved it!

PREMIERE052 // Visionnaire - Shara (JackWasFaster Remix)

Expert Bouncers signals the return of Stevie R to his imprint Inside Out Records, working with longtime collaborator and modular synthesis expert TAOMA. The EP starts off with Orbit carrot, a high-energy, left-field disco track with modular experiments, heavily destroyed vocal samples and a sense of musical freedom balanced with maturity that is characteristic of Stevie R’s recent releases. No-holding back remixes by “Intergalactic house” legend Man Power and peak-time expert Freudenthal complete the first part of this EP. Sequential biscuits is a wonky collection of modular acid lines produced in the studio during a late night jam, and re-worked in a slow, percussion based dub by Parisinos.

Re-upping @AnnaLann's wicked EP released two years ago on Ransom Note Records - https://ransom-note-records.lnk.to/Embodiment

'Embodiment', Anna’s first EP on Ransom Note Records, does its utmost to evade description, existing in a state of perpetual motion and terminal formlessness. Over four singular tracks she projects a thrilling blend of techno, experimental electronics and left-field pop music, realised in pristine and often brutal sound design.

Anna Lann - Feeling Emotional (Richard Sen Remix)

He dreaded the morning after the night before; he was no stranger to these feelings of melancholy and anxiety. Despite the knowledge of such impending doom, it never seemed to stop him, or anyone else he rubbed shoulders with for that matter. During those moments of elation, stints of euphoria and unrequited love, it all seemed worth it. But as with anything, what goes up must come down...

Following recent releases from Club Bizarre and Aurum Miles, Blindetonation boss Kezokichi steps up for the first time on his own imprint with two original tracks backed up by remixes from Freudenthal and Arthur Johnson. The Tokyo-based producer and DJ has built up a cult following through his distinct take on hypnotic electronic sounds via both his label and his own Back To Back events thrown during his time living in London. His new EP titled Ess Tie flaunts these signature sounds, moving through eerie, tripped-out rhythms, cosmic atmospheres and deep rugged bass lines.

PREMIERE: Kezokichi - Ess Tie [Blindetonation]

Two of the Swedish underground techno scene's brightest luminaries team up for the third instalment of their promising label When Disco Goes Wrong. Since Högt I Tak (SXDNS179) and Mindbender decided to join forces and start sewing together, Sweden has been definitely put on the map of the “new” Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene. Their plethora of personal influences gave birth to an interesting concoction of sonorities, resulting in solid originals and collaborations which have been well-received by artists and people in general. 

For their forthcoming release, the single “Mental Raver”, after being featured in three different outfits (“Original Remake”, “Break The Acid Mix” and “Acid Is Cool Mix”), receives a gala attire designed by London’s own machine pagan and consumerism techno maestro MAN2.0 (SXDNS081), who totally remakes the track into absolute hedonism joy. The rusty old machines screeching and squelching until an otherworldly beautiful breakdown sends Högt I Tak and Mindbender’s Mental Raver straight into space. An insightful interpretation that increased the already high quality of the release.

PREMIERE121 // Högt I Tak & Mindbender - Mental Raver (MAN2.0 Remix)

His home and studio - an exquisite apartment set upon three floors, located in the city's first and oldest quarter - became a trove of all of his sculpted creations. The rooms, fitted with large opaque windows that stretched out across tall, off-white walls, were filled with over 200 sculptures of varying sizes, some made of chalk and some generated from now unfortunately oxygenated bronze. The statues, in pure neo-Renaissance style, depicted an array of classical figures enacting diverse hedonistic activities. Some were drinking, some dancing and others were coily sharing a delicate romantic moment, all coming together in a great, immobile gathering.

Playground Records celebrates its 30th release with label co-founder Martin Noise's newest output. The four-track EP, titled DUI, features two original productions and two remixes by Bufi and Middle Sky Boom. Today we share the latter's remix of 'Pis Turístic', an organic, quasi-ritualistic track that features entrancing percussion and a mesmerising bassline that is perfectly accompanied by fluttering synths.

Our lucky 13 cassette is who else then Le Adrien 'Sharlok Trance' Albou.
'13' is Adrien's favorite number since it always reminds him his glorious Bar Mitzvah, where he got his name 'Sharlok Trance' for asking the rabbi to play only trance music during the ceremony.
Adrien has mastered the craft of digging music. He knows by heart every upcoming track of any unkown producer all over the world, even before they have created the track.
Therefore and more we are very delighted to share with you this tiny transcendence pearl of a mix. Enjoy.
