Memories on a screen

Australian artist musician Marc Dwyer aka Buzz Kull has been a prominent figure on the darkwave & minimal synth scene for over a decade now with acclaimed albums on labels such as Italy's Avant! For Curses new compilation Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX, Dwyer has offered up an exclusive unreleased cut, A Place That's Meant To Be, that perfectly captures the spectral landscape his music inhabits where distanced vocals glide over ice cold synth pads, oscillating arpeggios and a metronomic beat to deadly effect.

MEDIO MUTANTE _ inestable

Cititrax is thrilled to present a full length LP entitled Adieux Au Dancefloor by Montreal based recording artist, Marie Davidson. Marie Davidson has emerged as one of the foremost electronic artists working in contemporary pop today. As a long-time member of Essaie Pas (DFA Records), Davidson has had the opportunity to hone her many talents. She has been participating in the city’s vibrant experimental community for much of her adult life. However, in 2012 she began to unveil compositions under her own name, revealing a solo artist who possessed the combined confidence and vulnerability required to write, produce and perform unaccompanied. Davidson’s intimate solo work is embodied through a host of synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines which coalesce in synchronized harmony, punctuated by vocals, half sung, half spoken in both French and English. She masterfully shapes the overall mood, themes, emotion, expression and intensity of her work, which gives the final result a distinctive, cinematic quality. 
With Adieux Au Dancefloor, Marie makes a slight departure from her last two releases, via Holodeck (2015) and Weyrd Son (2014), by creating her first fully dancefloor oriented piece of work. Through the 45 minutes of music that comprises the album, she experiments with pop structures, defines her voice, and layers rhythms to make complex and beautiful techno tracks. She closes the album with the title track in classic Chanson style.
Adieux Au Dancefloor will be released on October 6th. The record will be pressed on 160 gram white vinyl and will feature photographs by the equally talented Corinne Schiavone. The record will be housed in a full color printed heavyweight jacket along with matching printed inner sleeve. Pre-order available now. Digital release to follow.

Lyrics: 
It seems like honesty is not so fashionable these days, it's true, I ask a lot of questions.
You call me naive?
I'll tell you what, I'm naive to the bone.
Do you think I'm too soft?
Because I don't hide, or is it that your lost when I smile?
I don't need your love but I'll dare to ask you how you feel about me.
Just to get things straight.

I have no cards to hide.
My life is not a game.

Let me picture my future, a large room where you can hear the silence.
No space for arrogance, no pain in my chest.
Just the beating of my heart.
J'suis pas un cordeau moi! (In French)

In The Middle Ages, people used to wear clocks, it's 2016, get real.
So you think i'm too soft.
I have nothing to prove, I have no advice for you. But remember what Terrance said: 
"The last dance, we dance alone".

BUY VINYL: http://www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/vinyl/peppermint-lounge-perfect-high-12/
Dark Entries Editions is proud to reissue "Perfect High" the 1983 debut 12” by Peppermint Lounge from Germany. The group consisted of Matthias Elvers (synthesizers, bass), Regina Petersen (vocals) and Jorg Burckhardt (drums, strings). They took their name from a popular 1960s discotheque in New York City.  Treading the lines between Italo Disco, Electro, and New Wave, the trio crafted a unique sound difficult to classify. Regina’s powerful vocals command attention as they tell the sad tale of a boy searching for the perfect high. The lyrics are based on the poem “The Perfect High” by Shel Silverstein. Melancholic arpeggiators, a throbbing baseline, stuttering samples, vocoder and the classic Roland TR-808 drum machine run throughout the track, which builds to a majestic crescendo, ala Klaus Schulze or Jean-Michel Jarre. This reissue includes the original vocal version, backed with a shorter instrumental version. 

All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The 12” is housed in an exact replica of the original sleeve with black and white Dali-esque drawing. Each copy also includes a 2-sided postcard lyrics and notes.
