Cliche 52 - release date: Sept 16, 2013

I’m a Cliché is proud to introduce Moscoman. Although every club in Tel Aviv has known him for years as a DJ, the simply titled “Moscoman EP” is his debut release as a producer.

He is named like a bad guy in some comic book about the Cold War, and has recently settled in Berlin, capital of the Iron Curtain. It comes as no surprise that the “Moscoman EP” briefcase includes three spy-friendly discreet, slow-burning and unfailing lethal weapons.

“Fuse of Hell”, “Misled Loophole” and “Feos Chaos” are six or seven minutes long instrumental techno tracks, all driven by bass lines that stick to one’s brain and playful drums.

“Moscoman EP” is the tenth release this year by I’m a Cliché, the French label founded by Cosmo Vitelli in 2004. Featured artists have been Bot’Ox - Cosmo Vitelli’s own band and their spin-offs, In Fields, Red Axes, Crackboy... Besides these records, there also has been the Edit Service series : one free download avery two weeks. Two of them were offered by new signing Moscoman. Coming soon are Bot’Ox’s second album and Red Axes’ first one.

Moscoman - Rerotica (from Dark Horse EP out now)

We're premiering Moscoman's Dark Horse on I’m A Cliché

"DARK HORSE
A robust drum groove, a syncopated bass line, a galloping cowbell and treated drum fills mingle with hypnotic arpeggios and dramatic pads to create an ominous feeling. Opening the EP with melody and style, MOSCOMAN reminds us here of his dark horse quality: he might be a mysterious outsider but boy does he have the skills to get dancefloors moving."

So there you go. Get it in your ears. Full EP out digitally on Monday is equally ace too. 

Premiere: Moscoman - Dark Horse - I'm A Cliche

BY JUNO RECOMMENDS  

Red Axes affiliate Moscoman impressed with his first outing on I'm A Cliche, 2013's self-titled debut EP. It set out his stall as a producer to watch: a creator of humid, exotic electronic music dripping with vintage new wave, EBM and Italo-disco influences. This follow-up continues in a similar vein. There's a notably murky feel to the bubbling but strangely foreboding "Dark Horse" and weirdly sensual "Rerotica", but it's the more live-sounding "Ego Trippin" - all Hammer horror organs, punk-funk bass, backwards vocal samples and Turkish melodies - that hits home hardest. Optimo Music's The Twins provides a magical remix, layering their ghostly vocals over a hypnotic bed of drum machine hits and woozy synthesizer riffs.

Raised in Tel Aviv and more recently a resident of Berlin, the latest offering from Eskimo Recordings is the track ‘Fernandez' coming from Moscoman.

Moscoman has only been producing for a relatively short period of time but has already had releases on Cosmo Vitelli’s label I ’m A Cliché and Headman’s Relish. He has established himself as a key electronic artist who uses a range of influences in his music, such as rock and new wave. Moscoman regularly plays at the most interesting parties all over Europe as well as his current base of Berlin.

Moscoman has created a track in which several layers result in an extremely catchy and playful release. ‘Fernandez’ incorporates punchy claps, an almost psychedelic melody, and a bassline that seamlessly brings all the parts together. 

Early support comes from:

Psychemagik: Love this!!!! Super cool!  Support from Psychemagik 
Marcus Marr: Moscoman is great. I am a fan already. Fernandez is bonkers and wonderful. I look forward to giving it a spin. 
Headman: Great track Moscovichi! The mexican wave!
Mixmag/Mash: Quality!!!! This is a lovely live sounding disco groove. Love it 
Kasper Bjorke: Yeah! Support! 
Bottin: love mosco 
Red D / FCL: Vintage Eskimo vibes right here!
Gemini Brothers: Thank you! The track is amazing like always!
Rayko:  Nice one... loving that western movie feeling! 
Khidja: very good, love the spaghetti! 
The Aston Shuffle: Some classic flavours on this joint 
Man Power: Great. Off Kilter. Dark and silly at the same time. Much like Moscoman.

After an LP by Red Axes and an EP by Bot’Ox earlier this year, I’m A Cliché is back in the saddle with a new look and a new feel while keeping the same great sound. Two EPs including this one are going to be released on both digital and vinyl formats this Fall, leading up to very special 10th anniversary celebrations in Paris towards the end of the year.

DARK HORSE
A robust drum groove, a syncopated bass line, a galloping cowbell and treated drum fills mingle with hypnotic arpeggios and dramatic pads to create an ominous feeling. Opening the EP with melody and style, MOSCOMAN reminds us here of his dark horse quality: he might be a mysterious outsider but boy does he have the skills to get dancefloors moving.

REROTICA
A mesmerising bass sequence with a no-frills beat. Somewhere in between disco and EBM, it’s already a sensual affair with the music alone but MOSCOMAN’s libidinous vocals give an unmistakably erotic feel to the track. Clocking at 106 BPM, this slow burner is the perfect tune to initiate body to body dancing and to make sweat drip from the walls.

EGO TRIPPIN
A slapped bass and a funky drum beat are at the core of this track. Adding layer upon layer of eerie synths, creepy vocals, subtle drums lo-fi effects, this track is both groovy and psychedelic. There’s a hint of electro-funk nostalgia and a dash of gothic post-punk which gives EGO TRIPPIN that je-ne-sais-quoi required to take dancefloors to the next level.

EGO TRIPPIN’ (THE TWINS REMIX)
Upon hearing this EP, mysterious producer THE TWINS specifically asked to remix EGO TRIPPIN. They deliver an outstanding remix tailored for club use with an elegant, full-bodied groove where the track’s nostalgic feel is underlined by lush vocals and hypnotic synth lines. When the track dramatically breaks down and that slapped bassline makes an appearance, things get stunningly evocative and the buildup leading back to the beat has rarely been so ecstatic.

Mosco fell asleep and awoke days later with Red Axes. This is their joint offering for the ESP Institute. Dikembe Manutu, the fictional character who’s name gives title to our thumping A side, establishes a lush theme based on meandering steel drums and reverberating toms while a slew of rich percussion leads us through the jungle on a melodic galloping bassline. Once this deep groove gets us rolling, we’re treated to a variety of twinklling melodies that float high above. On side B, Rage In The Cage is a true live drum machine jam, full of bleeps, detuned toms, abrasive cymbals, and plenty of left turns. We can only imagine the mood in the studio as these three old friends frantically smacked buttons and tweaked knobs, creating happy accidents and loving every menacing moment of chaos as they stirred this cauldron. These two songs will make you thirst for exotic nectars.

This week, the Multi Culti label dropped their new comp, Sun Gaze II, a four-track ensemble of colourful, global club tracks. Our favourite here at Complex HQ, Moscoman's fuzzy foot-stomper "Se Acabo", sees the Berlin-via-Tel-Aviv producer concoct a rich melting pot of influences that seem to hint at just about every corner of the world. With its tropical percussion, cumbia-esque cadence and marching bass line, you could deploy this cut in any club in the world and expect a rapturous response from the crowd.

Sun Gaze II is the latest part of the six-part Sun Gaze & Moon Faze compilation. Sun Gaze II is released on Apr. 25, while the full compilation will be released on Jun. 21 as a limited edition box set.

Premiere: Moscoman - Se Acabo

Hailing from Tel Aviv and now living in Berlin, Moscoman's released warped, weird, and wonderful house on labels like Correspondant, I'm a Cliche and Eskimo. He currently finds himself part of the squad over at ESP Institute, the NY based label run by Lovefingers.

With an LP on the way for ESP, he's decided to give us a little tease with this fantastic three tracker. The guys over at the label tell us that the title track's " an optimistic dancefloor-filler that rides a disco rhythm, full of odd-ball percussion, over a swollen house bassline as we’re lead through clusters of synthesized mating calls via infectious melodic whistling." Which is all true. 

There's a pair of typically far out remixes on the B-side from Peaking Lights, and we reckon these'll be staples for anyone out there who enjoys watching the sun rise through eyeballs that feel like they're about to explode.
