MNQ 062 Carmody - Sleep On Mirrors: The 1981-1985 Tapes LP

As earlier compilations of 'Danza Meccanica' have taught us, Italy gave birth to a disproportionate number of synth-pop, new wave and electronic acts in the 80s. 

Mannequin goes deeper into the Italian new wave archelogical research with a killer 10 tracks selection of Carmody. Picking their name from a science fiction novel titled "Dimension of Miracles" by Robert Sheckley, Carmody were coming from Torino, as their pairs Monuments and Chromagain. Started as a duo (Alberto Ramella and Andrea Lesmo) and later a trio with Max Casacci joining in  as a guitar player, Carmody recorded from 1981 to 1985 and issued three incredibly rare demo tapes. "Sleep On Mirrors" compiles the best tracks from those tapes, bringing you one of the most peculiar 80's minimal synth music coming out of Italy.

Carmody - Messengers Of Love

Fam Mixtape with @hipushit.
On the collage-like nature of the mix and a childhood-born sense of beauty — read his commentary:

“In my mixes, I often try to create a collage of dissimilar, contrasting, sometimes even opposing tracks. One condition of the collage approach is that the result should feel like a whole — all the elements blending into unexpected harmony.

A mix on a physical medium feels special to me. So, beyond the collage approach, I tried to reflect a few more bits of magic that matter to me in the art of DJing — the balance between the dance of the body and the dance of the mind, a sense of timelessness, and my own idea of beauty.

By the way, the artwork — a wildflower with thorns and spikes — is one of those things that shaped my sense of beauty as a kid. I used to believe they were planted by aliens.”

https://soundcloud.com/patriciakaas: It's quite a while since I've recorded a mix reflecting a dancefloor. So this one is definitely a special one. It captures my diverse taste for intellectual and tense electronic music. Filled with old gems as well as recently released psychotic tracks, the mix delivers a melomaniac rollercoaster. Take a dizzy sip!

The music of the Lithuanian producer Gediminas Jakubka, who turns into Patricia on stage, balances between borders. Patricia Kokett blends rave with mysticism, futuristic industrial with shamanic noise, and various reworked voices with hypnotic output. With his 2020 debut album ‘Bizarr’ (12” vinyl) on Dutch Knekelhuis imprint, Patricia Kokett quickly proved his knack for creating transcendental, immersive sonic experiences. 

Following up with touring around Europe’s clubs, the covid period was an existential stop and a deep moment of reflection. In addition to this, Patricia Kokett has finished the third EP entitled ‘Psykhe’, which was released on the ‘Isla to Isla’ label on 12” vinyl in 2023. Psykhe continues to explore his distinct sound, but taking it in a new direction: a step away from the euphoric new age dance floor and into a significantly murkier, more precarious territory.

Explaining his music as ‘trippy techno,’ Patricia Kokett enhances this epithet in highly emotional and wild live sets. The forthcoming live gigs will consist of new music from the upcoming record, filled with the trippy ethos of electronica. DJ sets always contain adventurous and challenging sounds, which lead listeners to uncharted territories.

Gediminas Jakubka also works as a cinema composer and has a couple of movies which has to be noted. ‘Animus Animalis’ by Aiste Zegulyte, released in 2019, and ‘Toxic’ by Saule Bliuvait,e released in 2024. The latter OST was released on a vinyl record and is being qualified as the second full-length album by Gediminas Jakubka/Patricia Kokett.

For the second chapter of our Elementa Obscura series, the compilation moves with even greater force toward the dancefloor crossing the jagged territories of industrial, electro, and wave, sculpting six tracks where raw mechanics and shadowed atmospheres entwine.

Opening the record, FIUME (the side project of Croatia’s Le Chocolat Noir (Bunker Records, L.I.E.S.)) sets the tone on ‘Factory Wall’: a slab of cold industrial hypnosis where relentless drum patterns march across frozen synth landscapes. Pure machinery in motion.

On A2, Canadian producer Memorex channels a more measured energy. A steady, rolling bassline anchors intricate analog textures, while carefully layered pads expand into widescreen atmospheres. A track that feels both cleanly architected and deeply immersive.

Closing the first side, Uruguay’s Nyxloid: an EBM torchbearer with an unmistakable turntable craft presents ‘Utopicx’: hypnotic patterns, futuristic atmospheres, and metallic soundscapes loaded with tension. A cut built for those who thrive in the darker corners of the floor.

The flip side dives further. Ole Mic Odd, veteran of the US electro (KRI Records, Zement, Source Material, Kraftjerkz), contributes a heavyweight statement: razor-sharp pads, low-end menace, and grooves carved with mechanical precision. Electro at its most uncompromising.

On B2, Spanish artist Thai Lady Boy delivers a fierce industrial techno cut that feels like electricity itself in revolt: distorted acid sparks, convulsive rhythms, and scorched fragments of noise reassembled into a driving, chaotic whole. It’s unstable, dangerous, and wired for intensity.

Finally, RNXRX closes the circle with Altered States: a plunge into body music mutations where rhythm becomes rite. Oscillating between experimentation and sheer physicality, the track reveals the artist’s darkest impulses and his will to transgress.

Six cuts aimed at adventurous DJs and fearless dancers. As always, this is a one-time pressing of 250 copies only.

The artwork seals the vision: a planetary heptagram, historically used as a tool for cosmic contemplation. Representing the seven classical celestial forces, its geometry encodes order, proportion, and spiritual resonance mirroring the record’s sonic invocation.

Stay tuned, soon we’ll announce the official release party of Elementa Obscura Vol. 02, where one of the artists from our first edition will take the stage.

EOD002 - VA - Elementa Obscura Vol. 02 (Snippets)

Этот микс — продолжение серии, начатой вместе с Jeddah. Первый сет назывался «Горящий торфяник» — запах, знакомый каждому екатеринбуржцу: на первый взгляд безобидный, чуть тревожный, иногда даже сладкий, но в действительности предвестник медленно разворачивающейся лесной катастрофы. Второй микс прозвучал на Mutant Radio в передаче Druga Liga от Olta Karawane.

Теперь я один, с чуть более светлым ощущением музыки. Новый сет продолжает линию: тягучая, разножанровая музыка становится метафорой того, как из распада рождается жизнь, как в болоте шумов и полутонов пробиваются хрупкие цветы. Здесь звуковая ткань балансирует между экспериментальной электроникой и даунтемпо, впитывая элементы эмбиента, IDM и трип-хопа. В этом переплетении возникает новое звучание — и новое ощущение мира.

— Миша Петрик 



This mix continues the series that began with Jeddah. The first set, Burning Peatland, evoked a scent familiar to every Yekaterinburg native: seemingly harmless, slightly anxious, at times even sweet — yet in truth a harbinger of a slow-moving forest catastrophe. The second mix was broadcast on Mutant Radio within Olta Karawane’s Druga Liga.

Now I stand alone, with a somewhat brighter sense of sound. This new set follows the same line: viscous, cross-genre music becomes a metaphor for how life emerges from decay, how fragile flowers break through the swamp of noise and half-tones. The sonic fabric here balances between experimental electronics and downtempo, absorbing elements of ambient, IDM, and trip-hop. Out of this weave a new resonance arises — and with it, a renewed perception of the world.

MNQ 034 VARIOUS - THE END OF CIVILIZATION LP

Mannequin has the dual and parallel aim to unearth hidden or unpublished gems, running along a road that starts from the period of reference for this kind of music (late 70s – mid 80s) and comes to nowdays, with a vision deeply influence by Factory Records / 4AD labels. 

Catching the same spirit of such great labels, we asked to the italian synth wave princess Mushy to create a compilation starting from a tabula rasa. The mission was hard. Following her tastes and heart, she had to select a dozen of new bands from all over the world with unreleased and unique for this project tracks, picking up the title and realizing the graphic design and artwork. The full process of "The End Of Civilization" took almost 1 year but the result was touching us ￼deep into our soul. 

Mushy began her career crafting noise bursts and aggressive oblique instrumentals before, in her newest form, blooming into a beautiful, epic and heart-heavy icy synth sound, having both "Faded Heart" (2011) and "Breathless" (2012) as album of the week at Rough Trade. "The End Of Civilization" perfectly represents her double sided synth-wave / kraut-psychedelic soul. Every track she selected for us is an absolute highlight, moving from the analog minimal / cold wave sounds of Police Des Moeurs, ASSS, The Circa Tapes, TEEEL and Rosemary to the tempestuous post punk and psychedelia of Deathday, The Murder Act, Phosphor and The Strange Forces, ending with spectral cold folk of Tablets and The Long Wives.
