"Floppy Computer" is the newest set of future-gazing grooves from Periodica Records and label partner Raffaele "Whodamanny" Arcella rescuing and restoring forgotten tape compositions from a legendary Italian pop producer using the pseudonym Nico Mecca. Produced during the years 1979-1985 using cutting edge home recording techniques and the latest synthesizer. The productions across the works are incredibly forward-thinking for that time with inspirations and track titles refering to hypermodern tech and a proto-cyberpunk soundworld and progressive rock and experimental electronic music that features novel combinations of mediterranean boogie, robotic funk, sci-fi balearic, hypnagogic pop and astrotribal jazz. The discovery of the 'Floppy Computer' project is dictated by destiny and a strong cosmic interference as not only were these tracks produced by Mecca during his 30s, they were discovered 30 years later by Raffaele Whodamanny, who is also in his 30s - facts that give the project a mystical and numerological significance, since this number and age represent a divine midpoint between youthful enthusiasm and the wisdom of experience.

PRD1020 • Nico Mecca - "Floppy Computer" (LP)

Born of record collection deep dives and a longstanding friendship, the newest release on Periodica Records is ‘Electro Romantica,’ which finds Raffaele “Whodamanny” Arcella and Luca “Bop” Affatato joining together as Somachrome. The duo posit an alternative reality where the autobahn connects Detroit to New York to Napoli, and where heady electro, Hi-NRG, and post-punk grooves merge with narcotic new wave, interstellar funk, and psychedelic rock. The result is an epic adventure equally suited for dancefloor mania as it is for coastal highway cruising, with shades on and a leather jacket closed against the mysterious forces of the night. (Words by Braden Balentine - The Sun Lounge)

PRD1021 • Somachrome - "Electro Romantica"

There was a jovial, jolly sort of atmosphere in the old rickety shack. The warehouse was packed with rogues and wrong'uns who'd come to spend the night dancing to the bang of drums and wild dub. Smoke filled the air and it was dark and smoggy. The warmth from outside had somehow found its way in and condensation hung from the ceiling as the crowd moved back and forth with the grace of the beat. This was not a warehouse rave, this was a warehouse rock. 

The Vendetta Suite is a moniker of Gary Irwin, an irish producer who has worked tirelessly over many years creating and producing music. Now he is set to release a new LP for Hell Yeah Recordings, a wonderful dubbed out balearic affair.

PREMIERE: The Vendetta Suite - Warehouse Rock [Hell Yeah Recordings]

The sky was a soft delicate shade of blue but that didn't stop it from falling upon them. Where had the rain come from? Why was it here on today of all days? As they walked upon the shore, looking out upon the splashes atop the ocean and the soft waves which rolled in against the sandy beach, they held one another's hands. Perhaps this would be the last time, for soon they would be long gone from here and all that would be left might be the remnants and puddles of a day lost in time. 

Mark E is a bit of a UK legend if you will, we don't say that lightly. For over fifteen years he has been producing music which has delighted and intrigued dancefloors the world over, he is infamous for weaving samples throughout his work like a rich tapestry and his music is reminiscent of the golden era of house, funk and disco in which the dancer was king. This new EP is forthcoming on 18437.

CNDBMLE 004: Aki Aki - Dishjockey

It’s a family affair on the second Growing Bin 7”, as Peter & Patrick Jahn @patrickjahn enjoy some father and son boogie with a smooth split release. A sunblushed moocher served two ways, this disc is designed for horizontal dancing…
Rooting around the cupboards in his family home outside Nuremberg, Patrick Jahn unearthed a dusty box of cassettes, saved for posterity but eventually forgotten. Somewhere between ‘True Blue’ and ‘Brothers In Arms’ was a faded C60 full of unreleased demos by his father Peter, recorded in the mid to late 80s. Back then Jahn Sr owned a pub club called Schrank (Cupboard to the Anglophones), with an upstairs office he used as a music studio. In amongst naïve synthesiser experiments and carefree noodling was a Balearic boogie bomb, all strolling synth bass, clipped funk guitar and seaside melancholy – like Brenda Ray on a Wim Wenders soundtrack. 
Too impressed to keep it a secret, Patrick played the cut to Carsten “Erobique” Meyer, when he was over there jamming, and Hamburg’s premier funk freak suggested this might be of interest to his likeminded hometown freak Basso. Instantly in love, the Growing Bin boss suggested Patrick provide his own version for the flipside, and so it was, reborn with percussive sway, moonlit keys and beefy bass tones for the next generation. Here’s to the Jahn family, father and son but brothers in calms… (words by Patrick Ryder)

on a note:  the original tape was not in good condition so the sound of the original version is a bit distorted at the end of the track. SInce I love it so much I can live with it. Hope you can too :) Best, Basso

Viscardi & Alano Santo - Il Sogno Di Carmen (LDM002)
Release date: 12th of June 2020
Pre-Order: https://viscardialanosanto.bandcamp.com/album/il-sogno-di-carmen
Label: Les Disques Magnétiques (https://soundcloud.com/lesdiquesmagnetiques)

Recorded mostly as a live-jam, august 2019, « Il Sogno di Carmen » is the result of a solitary producer meeting a nomad musician. A brand new friendship. From there, the duo leads us to a spontaneous and fragile holiday story that yet manages to frame, with a sometimes mischievous accuracy, the current Genevan musical spirit : experimental, sincere, hybrid and hot.

“ I have no idea where this will lead us. But I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange. Deep into summer, most definitely. The season of torrid bodies, of slowed down movements ; where melancholy creeps in the form of light and inconstant paragraphs, italian-style. Dragged around in hedonistic reunions, spiritual vagrancies and the soothing coolness of the Rhone river, Carmen is smooth and juvenile. She loosens up. Nothing is important. It can wait. Him too, you mainly. Geneva in the tropics, Bongo Joe on the terrace, stolen emerald glances & air-conditioned airports. That’s it. A wonderful and insignifiant story.”
