Prepare to be transported into a realm of sonic enchantment with the forthcoming release from Berlin's renowned Iptamenos Discos. Boys’ Shorts, the dynamic queer duo hailing from Greece, comprised of Vangelis (formerly of LAGASTA) and London based Tareq, are set to unveil their EP 'Something To Forget’.  

Following their successful ‘New Era’ EP which was on high rotation on Berlin’s RBB Radioeins, and lending their remix skills to Local Suicide on their Eros Anikate album, Boys’ Shorts are yet again back on Iptamenos Discos with ‘Something to Forget’. The duo consists of Vangelis and Tareq who have been friends for over a decade and have had an incredibly successful year, with a string of highly praised releases on Permanent Vacation, Live At Robert Johnson, HE.SHE.THEY & Pets Recordings, and DJ sets in esteemed venues including London’s E1 and Berlin’s Berghain as well as remixing Alison Goldfrapp and supporting her on tour.  

‘Something To Forget’, the first single and title track starts with a strong kick and a prominent snare which punches through the mix and becomes a driving force which anchors the track. The bouncy and energetic bassline is contrasted with lyrics which are somewhat melancholic, however they are performed in a way that gives them an underlying sense of optimism.  

‘Something To Forget’ is sure to be a revered release by Boys’ Shorts and another exciting addition to the Iptamenos Discos catalogue. The full EP including both remixes will be released on all digital/streaming platforms and 12” vinyl on June 14th, 2024.

INCOMING : Boys' Shorts - Something To Forget #IptamenosDiscos

Sou curador musical e DJ, com experiência em direção artística e programação de eventos. Fui responsável pela direção artística e programação musical do espaço LES NAUTES, em Paris, onde agenciei artistas como Niv Ast, Mystery Affair, Leonor, Yula Kasp, Full Cast, Jpegmafia, Jacco Gardner, Konnichiwa, The Flashers, entre outros talentos emergentes de destaque.

Como DJ e curador, trabalho com música eletrónica pensada para luzes estroboscópicas e máquinas de fumo. O som que proponho é introspectivo, cru e intenso, com melodias orientais, grooves pesados, sintetizadores “envelhecidos a tabaco” e riffs angulares que falam tanto aos rapazes motards como às raparigas góticas.

É uma estética sonora demasiado distópica para ser chamada disco, demasiado melancólica para ser house, e demasiado musical para ser techno.

Misturo sonoridades pós-disco e wave com a melancolia do new wave.

Procuro criar experiências que desestabilizam a pista de dança, abrindo espaço para o transe, o desconforto belo e a catarse emocional.

O meu universo sonoro bebe do expressionismo, da ficção científica distópica e do romantismo noir. 

Uma rave no meio de um filme de Tarkovski.

I Was in charge of the artistic direction and music programmation at LES NAUTES in Paris, where i booked Niv Ast, Mystery Affair, Leonor, Yula Kasp, Full Cast, Jpegmafia, Jacco Gardner,  Konnichiwa, The Flashers, … among other outstanding rising artists. 

I play electronic music for strobe lights and smoke machines. it's introspective, rugged and raw, with oriental melodies and chugging grooves, tobacco-stained synths and angular riffs that appeal to biker boys and goth girls.
It's too dystopian to be called disco, too melancholic for house, and too musical to be techno. 

Post-disco and wave sounds mixed with the melancholy of new wave.

I seek to create experiences that destabilize the dance floor, opening space for trance, beautiful discomfort and emotional catharsis.

My sound universe draws from expressionism, dystopian science fiction and noir romanticism.

Miss Sanne: Tanzmaschine mit Schallplatten-Tick und digitalem Werkzeugkasten.
Vinyl wird gesammelt, nicht geschleppt. Zu Hause Liebe fürs schwarze Gold, auf dem Dancefloor Traktor Pro und ein S5 unter den Fingern.

Musikliebhaberin, Groove-Stöberin mit einem Faible für funky Basslines, tighte Edits und ordentlich Gefühl.
Die Moves? Vielleicht unkonventionell - aber immer mit vollem Einsatz.

Miss Sanne bringt keine Perfektion, sondern Personality.
Analog aufgewachsen, digital unterwegs - aber die Emotionen bleiben echt.

Ich mach das hier aus Spaß an der Freude und nehm nicht alles allzu ernst. Wenn es jemandem gefällt: cool. Wenn nicht: auch okay.
