Mannequin Records is proud to present a true pearl of the Italian Minimal Synth from the 80's. Tommy De Chirico founded the post-punk band Politburo in Turin during 1981 togheter with Maurizio Rubinetti (Sick Rose) and Massimo Aluffi (Ivan Siberia). On his own, he released the 7" "Close Your Eyes / Flower Into The Factory", produced and recorded at TKS Studio by the Monuments’ Mauro Tavella between 1982 and 1983 and subsequently released by Turin’s Shirak Records in 1984. 

When Politburo split in 1986, Tommy continued to experiment with various projects and sounds, including Thugs, Quiet (with members of Monuments and Deafear), Noxeda and Lacrimal, with whom he still plays today. 

Presented here are also 3 bonus demo tracks: a rare version of "Close Your Eyes", and 2 out-takes from 1983, "Vuh-Ya" and "Tuxedo Dance".

The original graphic cover was realized by Bruno Zanichelli aka Pennarex, an underground artist from Turin, who died prematurely some years after. 

For 'Flower Into The Factory' Luca Pastore from Chromagain realized a videoclip. We are really happy to announce that we were able to restore it after 25 years.

- 12’’ EP on black vinyl, 33 RPM - Limited edition of 300 copies
- 3 Bonus Tracks 
- Artwork designed by Mushy and Alessandro Adriani  

Strongly recommended to fans of Martin Dupont, Oppenheimer Analysis, Das Kabinette, Victrola, Neon.

:"The Berlin-based Italian is more than your average “crate digger.” He dedicates countless hours to discovering the untold stories behind the music he loves. This passion has shaped his musical ventures, particularly Mannequin Records, which he founded over a decade ago and was recognized as Label of the Month by Resident Advisor in 2017. The label has received acclaim for its blend of reissues, archival collections, and new productions, showcasing a wide array of genres including techno, electro, cold wave, and minimal synth. Adriani’s diverse tastes are evident in his extensive record collection."

A section from my set at Magic Waves Summer Festival, Berlin, July 2015,  featuring the more accessible synth end of the kind of stuff I play at my occasional So Low night in Glasgow. So Low 2 x LP compilation in hand screen printed sleeve coming February 2016 via Vinyl Factory.

Terence Fixmer Reissues Two Cult Techno Anthems on Red 10" Vinyl and Digital.

Techno pioneer Terence Fixmer re-releases two of his most iconic tracks — Electrostatic and Electric Vision — now remastered for a more contemporary and powerful sound, and pressed on a limited edition 10” red vinyl. 

Originally released on Gigolo Records in the late '90s and early 2000s, both tracks quickly became underground anthems. Played by legendary DJs such as Dave Clarke, Sven Väth, and many others, they were also named Tracks of the Year by renowned techno publications like Groove magazine. 

With these two groundbreaking cuts, Terence Fixmer helped open a bold new chapter in the history of techno — giving birth to Techno Body Music (TBM), a genre blending the raw, industrial force of EBM with the driving energy of techno. Electrostatic, in particular, is considered a foundational track of this hybrid style. 

Now regarded as true techno classics, Electrostatic and Electric Vision have stood the test of time and are still played regularly by DJs worldwide, continuing to energize dancefloors decades after their release. 

This is the first official repress in over 20 years, and the first time these two cult tracks appear together on one record — sharper, louder, and more essential than ever.

VūMantra Records presents:
ALESSANDRO ADRIANI -  "World of Darkness" 
Live @ Kantine am Berghain 3rd Sept 2025
[ Vūdcast_067 ]

A live recording of the stunning performance by Adriani during the VūMantra Records night at Kantine am Berghain on the last 3rd September 2025. 

Alessandro Adriani channels decades of sonic research into a raw, immersive power electronics live set that pushes the limits of noise and industrial sound. Known for his dark, hardware-driven aesthetic, the Berlin-based Italian draws from deep archives of cold wave, EBM, and obscure electronics to sculpt brutal, high-intensity performances. His live sets are confrontational and physical—distorted frequencies, punishing rhythms, and waves of analog chaos collide in real time. Best known as the founder of Mannequin Records and for releases on L.I.E.S., Jealous God, and Stroboscopic Artefacts, Adriani uses his encyclopedic knowledge of underground electronics to evoke an atmosphere both ritualistic and extreme. This is not dance music—it’s sonic warfare for those drawn to the edge.
