SHEA Radio #098: Facets

New York-based Facets has a passion for all things Dark Synth, Techno, Leftfield, EBM, Proto-House, Electro, New Beat, Acid, Italo-Disco, Balearic, and beyond.

Facets' music has been described as "made for the sweaty confines of the dancefloor's fog-filled spaces—ones that flicker with strobes and neon lights, alight from the energy of the crowd." Hot on the heels of his recent releases on Optimo Music. Dischi Autunno, Ombra International, Skylax, Soil Records,  Khoinix, and Electric Shapes. More original music from Facets will be out soon on Sonic Groove, Pinkman, Blk Market's 12" Party edits, and more.  

Over the years, Facets has released edits on his personal channel and through various outlets, including Calypso's 12" series, Death on Wax, Amor Fati, Ransom Note, Hard Fist, Whypeopledance, and Italo Moderni, to name a few.

Facets has been billed with some of the scene's top talent, such as John Talabot, Ivan Smagghe,  Ellen Allien, Vladimir Ivkovic, Moritz von Oswald, Adam X,  Lena Willikens, Solar, Kim Ann Foxman, Curses, Perel, Phase Fatale, Lindstrom, Interstellar Funk, Tornado Wallace, Franz Scala, Khidja, and lots more, in top underground venues in the US, Mexico, and Europe.

Facets is also the founder of Samo Records and Samo Nights, the club night associated with the label. Over the years, he has booked the likes of Black Merlin, Manfredas, Joakim, Jex Opolis, Zombies in Miami, Sacha Mambo, Wrecked, DatKat (Analog Soul), Sharlese, Hugo Capablanca, In Flagranti, DJ Overdose, Patrick Russell, Sharif Laffrey, Jellyfish and more.

Additionally, Facets founded Italomatic, Brooklyn’s premier italo-disco, new wave, freestyle, and synth party, alongside Andi (Synthicide) and Rok One.

SHEA Radio #098: Facets

Artista: @azaria-musik
Remixer: @espaciocielo
Sello: @facets-music

Azaria regresa a Espacio Cielo con Pump EP, una referencia que reafirma su lugar dentro del núcleo duro del sello. Tres originales que se mueven entre el Indie Dance, el Dark Disco y el house más texturado, pero es en las remezclas donde el EP adquiere otra capa de lectura. Y ahí entra Facets.

El neoyorquino, conocido por su afilada visión EBM y por dirigir Samo Records, pone las manos sobre Get a Grip y lo transforma en una bestia de pista. Bajo tenso, percusiones afiladas y un groove que no da tregua: esto no es una remezcla, es una declaración de intenciones. El espíritu industrial se cuela por cada rincón del track, elevando la tensión a cada compás y llevando la pieza al terreno nocturno, sudoroso, casi físico.

El resultado no solo amplía la paleta de Azaria, sino que confirma a Facets como un alquimista del sonido crudo con vocación de club.

PREMIERE: Azaria – Get a Grip (Facets Remix) [Espacio Cielo]

Facets rounds the evening off going full-steam on the Italo disco. Clearly a total purveyor of the style, its swimming in that cheeky balearic sleaze and charging basslines which make the genre so iconic. Includes tunes from the likes of Bogdan Ra, Neurotiker, and Tamati.I imagine this is precisely what the good life sounds like. Vive la dolce vita. 


La Dolce Vita w/ Facets @ Radio Panini (21.03.2025)

The family that Synths together, stays together!
Rok One, Facets & Andi of the ItaloMatic crew very much fulfilled the assignment this week for our lil mix series; administering ample amounts of arpeggiation including Italo Disco, modern synthesizer scorchers, 80s gems, ecstatic vocals, and more.
It's called FUN babe, ever heard of it?!
