Rossell feat. Emma- Dancing With Strangers (Lifelike Remix)

Felix Da Housecat - Happy Hour

Limbo is a track I made in 2021 at the SAE Amsterdam Studios using Ableton with PUSH 3 and Virus synths. I was inspired to create a non dance floor, cathartic track being largely affected by the lockdowns and my personal situation. I often found myself in Limbo, a strange sense of non belonging, no perspective and uncertainty about the future of Electronic Music, do's and live performances. Also an ambivalent friendship I had hoped to turn into a deeper connection that ws leading nowhere. with distance and perspective from now the track perfectly transcribe what I ws feeling at that time. Nostalgic feelings with a sense of hope. early 2023 Alix Marie a renowned sound engineer co-owning a label with Kriss Did in Paris France approached me and asked me to send him demo's. The rest is now history as my certification track is finally out there in the world. Something that made us the SAE team proud.

Italian DJ/producer SLV returns on Mutual Rytm with five explosive techno cuts.

Born and raised in Sicily but now based in Berlin, SLV is known for his innovative approach to techno and its various shades. He has released on revered labels like Soma and received support from key industry players who respect his ability to blend old-school vibes with modern production techniques. Away from the club, he also produces music for film soundtracks, adding a sense of cinematic edge to his techno cuts and is a master of both analog and digital technologies - a true audio engineer who crafts unique, compelling sounds. Having previously featured on the label's ‘Federation of Rytm III’ compilation, he returns to SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint with his ‘Night Echoes’ EP to open up October.

‘Graustufen’ opens with punch drum programming and scintillating percussion that dances atop the groove as booming bass brings serious weight down low. The superb ‘Grand Cayman’ is another potent techno weapon, this time with icy synth atmospheres and eerie moods pervading the tightly programmed drums and bass to deliver an unstoppable force. ‘Voids’ brings urgent funk with its hunched-over, closely stacked kicks and suspensory pads, which never let up and keep you locked in the moment, while ‘Elastik Pho’ echoes a classic Detroit sound with its soul-drenched beats and serene, uplifting, beautiful hi-tek style. Last but not least, ‘That Night’ shows SLV’s extraordinary range as it brings some soulful vocal loops and optimistic chords over thunderous drums, which are sure to power dance floors through to euphoria. The EP includes two digital bonus cuts: ‘Basic Uno’, which is a raw, percussive and heads-down banger, and ‘Persistence Of Memory’, which is stripped-back, glitchy and dubby techno for strobe-lit warehouses.

Miss Kittin & The Hacker are the Electro duo of Caroline Hervé and Michel Amato from Grenoble, France. The pair met during the early 90s at a rave and soon after bought turntables and began DJing. In 1996, their collaboration began, writing music heavily influenced by the 80s post punk bands Fad Gadget, DAF, Liaisons Dangeuresues, Yazoo as well as Italo Disco. Bored by the techno scene at the time, the pair set out to lighten the seriousness and add a camp sexiness. Upon hearing their demos DJ Hell signed them to his Munich-based International DJ Gigolo label and released their first 2 EPs in 1998 and 1999. Their debut album ”First Album" is released in 2001 and pioneers the electroclash movement of the early 2000’s. 

“Lost Tracks Vol. 1” contains 4 previously unreleased demos recorded between 1997 and 1999.  Distancing themselves from the hard techno produced in Europe at the time, the duo fused 80’s European New Wave/Italo Disco with 90’s Detroit Electro acts like Le Car and Dopplereffekt. Somewhat unorthodox, their sound has a song-like format, based on the verse-chorus pop schema of the 80s music they grew up listening to. Song arrangements are direct, spontaneous, seemingly unplanned, and mainly generated with some synths, a beat box and a microphone. Their studio set up at the time was a Korg MS-20, Roland SH-101, TR-606, TR-808, Siel DK80, and Boss DR-660 drum machine. Distinguished by Miss Kittin's French accented voice, full of derision, she sings about falling in love with an alien, sexy nightlife in Berlin and explicit S&M leather play.

All songs have been transferred from the original DAT tapes by the band and mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. The vinyl comes housed in glossy jacket featuring a never seen before black and white photo of the duo taken in 1996. Each LP includes a postcard with liner notes from Miss Kittin and The Hacker designed by Eloise Leigh. As Miss Kittin says of these demos, “We were naive, innocent, adventurous and we didn’t expect anything in return”.

Lyrics:
Listen to Miss Kittin and The Hacker's new direction
Driving a car or 3 0 3
Giving you a piece of life and energy 
Somewhere in the universe for a novel
We try to analyze feelings
Thinking about you
Friends, mountains and party times
I wish you could see us
How we are, what we love and hate

This is what our music is about
You and us
This is what our music is about

Listen to Miss Kittin and the Hacker 
Our mind is real, on a cloud
When someone's playing us in a club at night
And we receive smiling on the dance floor
Trying to forget everything
We don't know you
But you are a part of ourselves 
And we can look into your eyes
Wherever you are

Because this is what our music is about
You and us
Cause that is what our music is about
You and us

Listen to Miss Kittin and The Hacker 
We take planes from hotels every weekend 
We drive on the highway to other places
Looking at the landscape running behind the window
We are all alone
Listen to something on the stereo

We would like to see skyline and city lights of New York 
Or Tokyo and then come back to the green fields we know
And do nothing and sleep
And do that again and again

Because this is what our music is about 
You and Us
This is what our music is about
You and us

Listen to Miss Kittin and The Hacker
Because this is what our music is about
You and us
You and us

This is what our music is about
You and us

Lyrics:
Let's go to the rendezvous 
Of the past, me and you
 DJ plays deja vu 
As we were in '82

 I see your face fade to grey
 Just wait for Blue Monday
 Imagine you're dancing 
You're a robot, man-machine

 I don't want a Tainted Love
 I want something from above 
But don't go
 Just play me Moscow Disco

 Let's go to the rendezvous
Of the past, me and you 
DJ plays deja vu 
As we were in '82

Lyrics:
The sun is high
I am going outside
Vampires are asleep
Witches are taking over

Blood pressure is high
Need to pump some iron or German steel
That's how I want to feel
From now on

Love is high
Stomach and butterflies
Witches and vampires
Frenchies do it better

Kittin is high

Lyrics:
A new day, a new dream 
Waking up, but still sleeping 
All the time remembering
 Pictures of your 1000 dreams

  Again and again and again and again the same dream

  Is it too exhausting 
To be in the wondering?
 Don't you know it will repeat
 Until you find the meaning?  

Again and again and again and again the same dream  

Another chance, take a break 
Face to face, big escape
 Rewind and sublime
 1000 dreams to reach the one

  Again and again and again and again the same dream

  A new day, a new dream
 Waking up but still sleeping
 All the time remembering 
Pictures of your 1000 dreams

I-F Fuckin Consumer (DB69) released on Disko B Records

Info: 
In the Netherlands some neophile named I-f was fed up with the same old techno 'movement'. This in mind he added some fairly unorthodox dimensions to this gathering, forever changing its course. With primitive electronic equipment I-f transferred sounds from the 80s to the here and now. And by chance, he landed a hit. "Space Invaders are Smoking Grass" is I-f´s entry to Electro-anthem status. Like Funk never happened. 

This is family fodder for dance crazes, for lovers of 'alternative' music, for the whole scattered techno community, as well as for the homelistener who likes to smoke a cigar when hearing 'strange' sounds on the sofa. I-f´s versatile approach to music can't be measured with just this one track. His first full length album on Disko B records proves the point. Fucking Consumer is pretty strong stuff. Electro-nix pure and clear. No nice recycled retro package. It's out of it, sails in its own universe, because it doesn't rely on others.

The overall mood is well-tempered, it seems to be playing along some sound history. Next thing you know, Fucking Consumer is exploding into bursts of noise - what a pleasure. Track by track I-f demands the attention of the listener anew. The final countdown occurs in a little gothic interlude with G.D. from L.A.'s Christian Death delivering the vocals. This Record was the start of a series of records by I-f (I-F – The Man From P.A.C.K, 1999, The Parallax Corporation – Cocadisco in 2003). There were massive records following this pioneer advance and a first clash on electro was done long before Larry T was dreaming of creating electro-clash.
