Swiss duo Psycho Weazel are back on Iptamenos Discos, this time with their very own EP ‘Mains d’argile’ which has a range of sounds from new wave, indie dance, italo disco and house and features Curses, Local Suicide, as well as remixes from Marvin & Guy and Rafael Cerato.

The duo’s musical love story began at summer camp, where the two Swiss born musicians shared their playlists with one another. Sharing playlists led to sharing dreams, and so Psycho Weazel was born. A retro-futuristic electronic spectacle, their music blends indie-dance, cold wave and EBM. From their studio on the shore of Lake Neuchâtel, they have created an impressive catalogue of elegant and joyful dance music. Such infectious tracks can be heard lighting up dancefloors across the globe - ‘Mains d’argile' will be no exception.

The EP opens with title track 'Mains d’argile’, which features New York born, Berlin based artist Curses, who is hot off the heels of the Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX compilation he curated. Psycho Weazel describe the single: ‘a hymn to disappearance that turns into medicine for damaged partygoers’. The track is certainly godly with its transcendent intro - long, echoing and expansive, it sprays the listener with melancholic dew and then drops into somewhere present, with tight drums and a strong synth melody, guided by Curses' haunting vocal. Layers of sounds that are both grounded and soaring, bridging the gap between heaven and earth. The track ends with a wailing lead guitar, whose tone embodies a sense of longing and escapism.

Psycho Weazel - Mains D'Argile feat. Curses (Radio Edit) [Iptamenos Discos]

A dark soundscape inspired by Immanuel Kant.Deep bass and pulsating dub techno beats meet abstract melodies. The atmosphere is minimalistic and dark, which may put the listener in a deeply reflective mood.

Kant

Haunting hypnotic triphop vibe, slow and sensual.

I like this song, but ain’t really my sound so…

The villa was packed with luxury items and elegant attire. Fancy aristocrats and glamorous divas walked proudly between rooms in a celebration of "decadance" and profitability. The view from the sprawling estate was spectacular, it looked down upon the bay below as the waves roared against the cliff face. Up on the hillside a party was underway, dancing was encouraged but not compulsory. The music echoed through the glow of the evening air. 

NEP's "Decadence" is being reissued by Fox and His Friends. Originally recorded in 1989 the track is a sought after slow moving cut which works bizarrely well on the dancefloor.

BLTRS06: Smagghe & Cross - MMMMMMM EP 
feat. Matthew Herbert + remixes by Samo DJ & Pedrodollar, Jackie House's Generator w/ Kevin Clarke & Marke B and Pilooski

Much like James Holden and Optimo, Ivan Smagghe is one of the most influential figures behind the founding and continuation of H+P over the past decade.

As such, it is tremendously exciting to release something by his new Smagghe & Cross project. In collaboration with the film composer and programmer, Rupert Cross - who counts big Hollywood blockbusters and Kanye West on his impressive resume - Smagghe & Cross has recently been picking up acclaim through superb releases on Vladimir's Offen Music, Ransom Note and their remix of The Junto Club has been a staple round these parts. Not only that, but the record also features none other than the bold Matthew Herbert (!!!) doing his best Robert Wyatt impression.
Additionally, as a very big fan of the compelling Honey Soundsystem 'Generator' series, I'm really chuffed to have commissioned a special remix featuring Jackie House with Kevin Clarke performing words by DJ Marke B. Swedish Superstars, Samo DJ & Pedrodollar also turn in a trippy groover AND as the icing on the cake; have enlisted the services of the DJ who played the first ever H+P party back in 2007, Pilooski- completing another circle during the 10th anniversary year..

Released 25/8/17

Ciao ragazzi. Rome's Teslasonic (@mr_feedback) is next on Budapest-based Dalmata Daniel (@dalmata-daniel) with a 12-inch. The remix of 'Quantum paradox' was done by The Hacker (@the-hacker). The Frenchman also has a release on Teslasonic's MinimalRome (@minimalrome) label. The remix is a more technoid approach to the original electro track. The patterns are changed (it's a new track) and the result is a dance floor hit.

Gever Amiti Ft Gabriel Broid (MR TC Remix)

Label Missing Letters is proudly releasing a remix EP with FRANGIE following up their  debut, which was released earlier this year. Now they’ve invited a variation of befriended DJ’s and producers to repaint the tracks with their special love for the dance floor.   FRANGIE initiates the remix EP with their own introspective lo-fi deconstruction of Love, Your Friend. In Samo DJ and J. Skugge’s version of the same track, an infectious bassline meets ambient pads to create a spaced out dub experience. An experience that resonates with Bella Boo’s mystical rework of jazzy DDML, where trippy chords and melodies transcends into a different dimension. Bella most recently contributed with the track boyboy to compilation album Studio Barnhus Volym 1. Underground DJ-duo HK have gradually been building a reputation for their live hardware jams at clubs and raves around Stockholm. Discover their dusty, groovy sounds in their remix of Don’t text me. DJ and producer Kimchii brings you to an afternoon backyard party with his funky guitar licks and groovy bassline. It’s the perfect remix for summer reminiscing, just in time for the first leaves to fall...

Premiere: Die Wilde Jagd 'Morgenrot' (Roman Flügel Remix)

The road was calm and quiet, those who inhabited the surroundings rarely saw much new life pass through here. Bordered by perfectly symmetrical tall trees, the dust track stretched far into the distance, with no destination in sight. He perched on the side of the road, tapping the curb with the tips of his fingers to make sure he didn't drift off. With every slight sound he jolted up to his feet, but for hours he waited and nothing passed. As he was about to admit defeat, the rev of an engine sounded further up the road, slowly gaining closer and closer. Now to sweet talk his way into getting a lift...

Parisian label Motordiscs, a continuation of the late Garage club in the capital, offer up their third release, another V/A spotlighting former DJs and artists who've played at the space. Following previous track contributions from the likes of Sascha Funke, Khidja, Zombies in Miami and Massimiliano Pagliara, their newest release brings together tracks from The Juan MacLean, Fairmont, Naduve and our pick from Javi Redondo, who notches the energy levels up through revving synth lines and dynamic percussion.

Biri - Through The Fields (Into The Sky Version) [FIGURE JAMS]

Phil Peskett and Jamie Tolley aka Blavatsky & Tolley are about to release their first track on their record label – the track is River Inside, the label is Evil Plans records. The release date is 9 October, presale on 18 September 2020. 

This is not an ordinary artist collaboration, these guys have history – as close as brothers.

Jamie was first introduced to Phil in the early 90s, at the time Jamie held a residency at Club UK and Phil was firmly placed on the band circuit, but it was electronic music that brought them together. Via a group of mutual friends, Jamie first encountered Phil in a South East London loft studio, this was Phil’s loft and the start of a beautiful friendship. According to Jamie, Phil was a ‘larger than life’ character and the pair instantly bonded. Hanging out and enjoying music together became a regular pastime. Jamie loved Phil’s style, but at the time they were experimenting with sound and did not even think to release anything.

Fast forward three decades, and Blavatsky & Tolley are on it. Phil’s blues/rock band have separated, Jamie’s weekly electronic music radio show is established with a regular following and the time is right – everything happens for a reason. Phil got back the taste for electronic music, he always loved what Jamie played on the show and became inspired to collaborate and create with him. Over the New Year from 2019/2020 the guys spent nearly three days straight in the studio, the music flowed and River Inside was born. 

In terms of what the tracks means to him, in Jamie’s own words – ‘River Inside, it’s a journey … a twister of a tune. I’m a river inside, that’s how you feel when you’re on the dancefloor where nothing else matters as the music runs through you. It’s a great feeling and that is a river inside you.’ 

Phil’s musical background as a vocalist and harmonicist combined with Jamie’s nous for electronic music and exposure to constantly new material from showcasing international artists on a weekly basis makes for creative brilliance – Blavatsky & Tolley.

The initial plan for the label Evil Plans records was to debut and release Blavatsky & Tolley’s music, but knowing these guys this is just the beginning of something truly mind-blowing, and much bigger than that. River Inside comes with two fantastic remixes by Al Mackenzie’s Retroforward and BTCOP, two completely different takes and equally as breath-taking as the original. Rich Lane from Cotton Bud did a superb job on the mastering of all three – a great collaborative effort on this super EP. This has been a long time coming, watch this space …
