Uno Y Dos

Frank Agrario - Uno Y Dos (Jonathan Kusuma Remix One)

No one day was the same since they'd upped sticks and moved to the city. It had been an adjustment in the beginning but soon they'd slotted into urban life like the years spent in the countryside had never even existed. The hustle and bustle; the never-ending list of things to see and do; any food you want at your fingertips; the freedom to be exactly who you want to be without any judgment - they could no longer imagine themselves anywhere else but here... 

Robi Insinna is gearing up for the release of a brand new album under his Headman alias. In the lead up to the release he's releasing a number of singles with his signature dub versions and remixes from friends and affiliates. The third track to be released is a homage to his love of the 90s, blending elements of Indie and electronica and calling on the vocal stylings of Mexican DJ and producer Vongold to complete the track. On top of the original and the dub, the EP comes with a remix from Leipzig trio New Hook and another track titled 'Live120'.

Behind the next release on Meant Records are Italian duo Boot & Tax, a relatively new pairing made up of Claudio Brioschi and CristianCroce. Here they serve up three great originals baced with a stellar remix from Alien Alien. Before now, Boot & Tax have released two extremely well received EPs on JD Twitch's Optimo Trax and have also recently had their music licensed to Erol Alkan's Fabric live 77, so the pair are really on the up. Title track 'Brace Brace' is first and is an elastic, analogue workout with gurgling synth lines riding up and down atop steely drums as punky vocals come on at various intervals. Acid and electro, techno and house all get bottled up in the arrangement, which is fresh and just what you would expect of someone backed by JD Twitch. The Alien Alien remix of this one is slow and trudging, purposeful and swampy. Snaking synths, coarse claps and a sense of foreboding pervade this most groovy of slo mo cuts. 'Niente Per Niente' is a dark but balearic feeling bit of chugging disco, with big licks and groaning bass all gliding along at an inviting tempo. Breathy female ad libs add a sense of character to the shadowy drums and ensure this one will set parties like ALFOS on fire. Lastly, 'Balkan Youth' gets much more cosmic with its flipping synths, twinkly melodies and rattling percussive patterns. Ascending ever higher, it takes you on a ride through the cosmos and dumps you out somewhere altogether happier. This is sure to be a breakout release for Boot & Tax who seem right at the heart of the analogue disco revolution.

Shari Vari - Dance Alone (Manfredas Extended Dance Remix)

Remix for my friends Angus & Kris aka Die Orangen.

The lead track taken from this EP contains lyrics that go “Fly on there’s a ride, past the fire burning bright…. blah blah blah”. You get the drift right ? It’s throwback, , it’s a stab at indie-pop, brit-rock, shoe gaze and some other non-sensical musical genre terminology, it’s a nod to the 90’s (which we grew up in) But most of all, it’s honestly what we felt like making. Suddenly the idea of making ‘songs’ didn’t only seem so far away from us, it was literally in the same room. Turn this idea into something tangible and you get what we are presenting here…

So, as we step out into the unknown - feet firmly planted on the ground beneath us - we are happy to finally set this music free. From our minds, through our hands, to our computers and down the pipe on to the wonderful web, here it comes… Ride on dear listener, there is a light
