The saying “Don't judge a book by its cover” can be also applied to music. Some albums, EPs, and singles have amazing covers, but the music is just… bad – or vice-versa. Many are also the case in which both the artwork and the music are simply sublime – or both, a total train wreck. No, we are not going to mention any examples. You can do this mentally by yourself (just do it, it’s fun). Right now, we’d rather stick with the release premiered here: with a badass design and a stunning selection of seven dark-as-hell cuts, Marinelli's debut EP "Manteca", marks the 60th episode of the Oviedo-based powerhouse Espacio Cielo.

The man of the hour is a Seville-based DJ, producer, and promoter, quite well-known for his work shaking the city's nightlife scene: he organizes various parties and is a resident of the monthly "Electronic Lunch" festival. For his very first output, he teamed up with an AAA+ team of remixers: none other than Rigopolar, Alen Skanner, Lebollet (RASTROLIVE004), and Moo Moonster (SXDNS054/TAKEOVER002) & Parissior (SXDNS206/FREEDL043/TAKEOVER002). 

The track we were solicited to review comes from the creative mind of Alen Skanner, a rising Spanish artist with previous works published on Sharped Records and Ritmo Fatale. For his take on “El Forastero”, Alen did what he does best: infused the original with heavy doses of stamina in the shape of fat basslines and sturdy synth layers. The slight increase in the BPM (from 124 to 127) simply made things fit like a glove. Puro FUEGO!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://espaciocielo.bandcamp.com/

About:
Vox Sinistra explores the synthesis of dark underground electronic sounds with retro and modern inspiration. In her work as a DJ, she has cultivated community in the genres of EBM and techno body music, industrial, New Beat, minimal and cold wave, forward-thinking electro and techno, and '80s synth music such as Italo disco, acid house, synth-pop, new wave and more. With a background in post-punk, no wave and related alternative and DIY punk movements, she combines sounds with rebellious spirit, nostalgic melodies, and avant-garde genre-mashing that stimulates bodies into movement for a cathartic and heavy dance music experience.


She is currently host of club night and label Strict Tempo, where she books an international selection of dark electronic artists, and has worked with artists including Xeno and Oaklander, Twin Tribes, Kris Baha, Ultra Sunn, Crystal Geometry, Bestial Mouths, Parade Ground, Statiqbloom, Curses, Aurat, Violet Poison, Filmmaker, Paradox Obscur, and many more. 

Vox is also known for her post-punk/'80s wave radio show Secret Meaning of Things at KHUH 104.9 FM since 2011, shortlisted for Best Music Show - Alternative in the 2018 Mixcloud Radio Awards. She has been featured in Mixcloud's 'One to Watch' series, and her mixes have landed at #1 in Mixcloud charts for over 20 different genres, including post-punk; industrial; rock; punk; world; alternative; new wave; synth-pop; EBM; acid; darkwave; coldwave; minimal wave; dark; goth; new beat; electroclash; electro-industrial; dark electro; Italo dance; Italo disco;  post-disco; hardcore techno and more. She is also a former music columnist for Seattle's Pulitzer Prize-winning alt weekly The Stranger from 2011-2019, and current contributing writer to Post-Punk.com. Around 2017, she was inspired to mix her underground '80s sounds with techno and electro, and is now focusing on making club sets for dark and dungeonesque dance floors.

Konnichiwa from Japan! After a few months of traveling with my family, I’m finally back with the first episode of The Darker Side of Disco in 2025.

The Darker Side Of Disco - Episode 5

Dive into a sonic landscape forged in the neon-drenched dystopias of classic cyberpunk cinema and anime. This set draws heavy inspiration from the gritty futures of films like M.A.R.K. 13 and Johnny Mnemonic, and the visionary worlds of anime masterpieces such as Akira and Ghost in the Shell. Expect a raw, industrial soundscape that blends futuristic textures with hard-hitting beats. It's a journey through the back alleys of Night City, where technology and humanity collide in a symphony of static and adrenaline. Plug in, jack in, and experience the sound of tomorrow, today.

On to new horizons! My ACID GUBI project, which started small in a suitcase, is slowly growing. That's why I'm currently designing a new live set. Now with even less acid than the name suggests. Here's a 24-minute live jam, which is primarily there to hear how everything works. And? It seems to work! More to come soon... Btw: This upload will be deleted soon, have a listen while it's still here :)
