Fashion Flesh is the solo output moniker of John Talaga, based in Bay city, Michigan - USA.
Undoubtedly the perfect artist for the inaugural release of Adult Version, the Alley Version's experimental side label.

He's renowned for his unique sound that combined experimental rough energy with surreal dysfunctional pop factors.
Distinctive approach to electronic analog equipment played a crucial role in shaping his signature sound.
Most of the instruments used are self-built and customized.

Asexual Bondage is a 7 tracks cassette and digital album, which opens with the preformed and reformed
samba-stic jubilee kicks in the jams of self-reassurance and esteem to the moon-child through 'Bold Astral Temperance'.
'Self-Discipline' reaches through the art of example without being preachy, pushy or puckered.
'Don’t Blow Up' suggests you do not, through the soft distractions of a rain shower on moods varied.
'Mimicry' lets you be yourself, to not live a mocking bird of prey nor a vulture of ideas.
'The Voice of God' is the voice of an atheistic John the Baptist with his attempt to bond the blind faith believers
of the universe. To experience a united non-linear yet heart felt existential state of ecstasy with the random
godhead gobblers this reality over.
'Brass Heels' steps on your hands and turns you on.
'Asexual Bondage' bravely champions the flowering chains of love between those that do not only fuck.

The cassette is a very limited edition, not to be missed considering its delicious artwork made by John Talaga himself and Francis Thayer.

Lithuanian DJ and curator Aleksandr L — founder of Electric Shapes and host on Radio Vilnius — crafts a mix that drifts through vaporous layers and blurred contours. Glowing textures dissolve into silence, loops echo like fading memories, and tones linger at the threshold of presence. A suspended flow shaped by contrast and nuance — where the stillness speaks, and each fragment carries the weight of what's just beyond reach.

No Hope, No Fear is a new vinyl series in our catalogue combining 4 artists and a nod to the legendary Slovenian band Borghesia and our apocalyptic times.

Swedish duo Harlem Electronics is responsible for the meaty opening track Versausage, where minimal wave meets industrial funk. Fear side is rounded by American Kri family member Ole Mic Odd, returning with his signature haunting electro gloom.

Hope side doesn't necessarily offer hope but sure does help with escapism. Slovenian partner in crime 198319831983 gives an apt comment while twisting electro and EBM on Trustno1. The record finishes on a "high" note with the legendary Cute Heels ft. Duke MC Herton for peak-time club decadence. No Hope, No Fear!

30th of April was the release party of our debut vinyl known as 'Elementa Obscura 001' for this special ocassion we invited 'Ladislav Zensor' aka 'Exhausted Modern' where he truly delivered a masterclass of heady fusion of breaks, dreamy pads, and razor-sharp polyrhythms that held the room in a hypnotic grip. With the venue packed wall to wall, it was clear this was more than just a release party.

Here you have the whole recording of this special live.

Massive props to Krewe (Dani & Sara 🖤) for the warm hosting, to Ladislav, to RNXRX, to Cyberdom and to the entire LAUT staff, and of course, to every dancer who made the night unforgettable.

@bb_fm is a radio host at THF Radio and a versatile DJ who navigates a wide sonic spectrum with ease. As the curator and resident DJ of Aquatic Travellers, an electro-driven party that she co-runs with Black Mirror Park at Paloma, she crafts immersive sets that transport listeners from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of the galaxy. Her signature style blends electro and breaks to create a dreamy yet grounded atmosphere, with a constant sense of motion and narrative.

In terms of sound, she’s my Galaxister — deeply in love with electro that’s both spherical and gritty, always with a bassy touch. Her sets feel like space travel in slow motion: expansive, textured and comfortably otherworldly.

GALAXUNITY*ODDCAST by  bb:fm

For the latest installment in our podcast series, Internal Operator delivers a one-hour journey deeply aligned with the spirit of Espectro Oculto. Taking inspiration from the label's sonic identity, the mix dives into the raw textures of minimal synth, experimental, and 80s underground electronic music, stitched together with surgical precision and a deep respect for vinyl culture. Aside from a single 90s track, the selection pays tribute to a lost era of cold electronics and analog unrest.

Known for his intense, no-compromise sets and deep-rooted passion for electro and broken rhythms, Internal Operator brings his signature energy into a more introspective mode channeling the underground spirit of Bunker Records, the Dutch West Coast, and IFM into something intimate yet confrontational. This is not just a DJ set, it's a dialogue between decades, formats, and frequencies.

Two years after their debut on Berlin’s Mannequin Records, Leroy Se Meurt return with their second album, Hier Pour Toujours. Far from nostalgic, the record mirrors the bleakness of our times: history repeats itself, the future looks dark, and the duo’s fierce electronic punk is its perfect soundtrack.

Drum machines set the march, synths flood the space, loops spiral to exhaustion, and vocals lead this orchestra of machines straight into the fire. Leroy Se Meurt sharpen their roots into something even more relentless—bold slogans, narrative fragments, and anthems made to be shouted together.

The album swings between floor-burners like “Pas Ma Croix”, “Du Plafond à La Terre”, and “Alevlere Karşı”, and darker, slower cuts like the intimate title track “Hier Pour Toujours” or the heavy incantation “Encore”. Along the way, it flirts with EBM, furious punk energy, cinematic synthscapes, and moments of unexpected clarity.

Hier Pour Toujours isn’t any more optimistic than their debut—but it still insists on belief. The end hasn’t come yet, and maybe, just maybe, there’s still light waiting on the other side.
