Almost six years after their first collaborative release, Robert Johnson Club’s resident, as well as one of the label’s mainstays, Phillip Lauer teams up again with Slow Motion Records’ label head Fabrizio Mammarella as Black Spuma. On behalf of their fifth release to date, Lauer and Mammarella set their studios controls up for a Hypercall into an Italo sonic past and their futuristic sounds.

From A1 Station to Station, Lauer and Mammarella get into business right away, as the first handful of sequences unfold their crafty Italo House fireworks. Laser beams and stretched sounds meet bass Arpeggios as, after the first breakdown, a piano riff slowly unfilters amidst portamento pads.
A steady Tambourine and beat kick off A2 Transpork, in which the main theme consists of a shiny and arpeggiated sawtooth chord progression, layered with a laid-back melody laid on top and and some reverb FX at the end.
B1 Miracoli relies on a bouncy bassline along a flat-out Eighties Kick Drum, alternating and squelchy synth figure. Drum rolls fast-forward you into a miraculously driving, yet slightly melodramatic Italo sound set with guitar-riff- and mangled vocal samples.
At the end of this EP, B2 Data Life enters sonic space on a magic synth carpet ride, propelled by a booming 808 Bass Drum, Rim Shots, and Bells, with Black Spuma encoding their Data into a modulated metallic-sounding Arpeggio.

QUIXOTICAL RADIO INVITES:
Fabio Me Llaman Soltero Il Est Vilaine

Fabio

Fabio’s name is not new to the Latin American eclectic scene, the eclectic Guatemalan producer (co founder of Sonido Moderna collective and other projects) as always been known for his insatiable search for a particular sound with the experimentation of various genres. Couple of days of his new release imprinted in our label “Demvogue”EP with MIJO, Il Est Vilaine and Leonor strong remixes… Quixotical invites to this trip… Fabio Me Llaman Soltero

Il EST VILAINE

The duo il est Vilaine believes that their first track breathes the masculine fragrance of some James dean stepping out of a backroom. With deep bass and highly pitched gimmicks, the duo is not so much of an electronic pun, rather a dancing machine combining the efficiency of good old acid-house and the hypnotic features of productions such as remote, kill the dJ or Tim Paris. At once wild and Western, urban and mystical, we are happily confronted with a sound, an identity- a rare occurrence in these days of neat clean electro-pop. After amazing remix for “demvogue” original track with great feedbacks, Quixotical Invites… Il est vilai

FABIO ME LLAMAN SOLTERO [Quixotical Records Invites]

Undoubtedly one of the great releases of the year at Logia Records is “Body Rocks”, the EP with which BTCOP lands on the growing label based in Argentina and Mexico. The Glasgow-based producer presents 3 eclectic original tracks. “On a Heartbeat” an Electro piece with psychedelic tints in slow motion, “The Dribbler” has that electric vibe, guitars that we can also feel on the track that gives the EP its name, “Body Rocks” with a Dark-Disco sound.

The EP features remixers from the likes of Ricardo Rubén, Diskontrol, Vleks, and the Argentine duo established in Mexico, Renuna. The experienced Argentine producer Ricardo Ruben remixes “On a heartbeat”, creating an excellent version more linked to Indie-Dance. For his part, Diskontrol does a remix of “The Dribbler” that takes him to the dance floor nonstop. "Body Rocks" has two remixes, one by Vleks, with sounds a little deeper, voices and flying melodies, and the other by Renuna, with his style, Indie-Dance that likes to flirt with Techno.

PREMIERE : BTCOP - On A Heart Beat (Ricardo Ruben Remix)

From the cosmos of Stretford on the outer realms of Manchester comes the kaleidoscope view of the world according to Psychederek and it's an explosive trip of shoe gaze soaked balearica on this super limited vinyl release!

Lead track Screamadereka heads straight into orbit from the get go with a stop off to thank the likes of The Cocteau Twins & Death In Vegas for their influence along the way. Huge drums, spaced out synths, warped guitars & a fully charged love in style vocal all wrapped up in a mushroom flavoured microdot with a pretty empowering finale.

I'm Alright steps up the ante a bit more and goes all Tomorrow Never Knows on us but with added warehouse acid squelch & rasps throbbing out from a beat that is broken (but not break beat!) whilst still retaining the psychedelic tendencies of its predecessor.  

Sean Johnston steps off the ALFOS rocket ship and joins forces with Duncan Gray for their Hardway Bros Meet Monkton Disco Dub take of Screamadereka and the result is a hive of cosmic mutant disco brilliance whilst Manchester's finest 6 piece See Thru Hands turn I'm Alright into bombastic focused UKG style wig out duet complete with new vocal takes by DNCN for seriously wonky floors & like minded souls.

For the digital release there is also an extra helping from Hardway Bros & Monkton where they ramp up the wonk factor & go even more horizontal than the original!

Limited vinyl release comes with an incredible exclusive insert drawn by Manchester local artist Emma Evans and features a visual interpretation of the Space Arcade E.P.

Release date: 15 october 2021
Label: Vivod

Vivod label boss Ali Renault serves up this rather moody ep in memory of his late friend, Pete Mangalore of Human Shield fame. The five tracker kicks off with Northdown Acid, a brooding sprawl with elements of Italo and acid combined to beautiful effect. The amusingly titled Imminent Salad follows with its jacking strut groove, laden with lush pads. Peter Summoning breaks up the ep with its simple ambient suggestion. On the flip things get going again with slo mo stomper Forbidden Mind before title track Nawce Blizzard closes with it’s electro style hypnosis. Finally we’re left with an infinite cat purring locked groove to send you to sleep. Great ep from start to finish. All copies come with a free Peter plectrum and vivod sticker. Only 280 for the world so don’t miss out!

For today's mix, Younger Than Me dives headfirst into the cosmos, gripping brash breaks and aggressive melodies along the way.

Younger Than Me | 082

Artist: Gladys Laser, https://soundcloud.com/autarkic
Track: Whale Song
Label: https://soundcloud.com/autarkic
Format: Digital, EP
Release date: 08/04/22

Myths about whales came from the East to the Greeks and thus were included in the Apocrypha. In the Greek “Physiologist”, where the whale is called άσπιδοχελώνη, the same legend is given about it as in the collection of Arabic fairy tales “1001 Nights”: “The whale is like an island; shipbuilders pester him and, driving in stakes, tie ships to them; the monster does not move; but as soon as a fire is lit on its ridge, it immediately goes into the depths, dragging deceived travelers with it.
Next on Age of Self - The Utilities - 'Task One', a collaboration between Gladys Laser & Autarkic.
