[ Electro Wave ] [ E.W. ]

Berlin-based record label Odd Pleasures is finally born. Curated by acclaimed Chilean duo Random Atlas (SXDNS155/FREEDL024), the new South American/European imprint will be devoted to exploring the darker side of disco and focus on bringing a fresh blend of Electronic and Rock, Post Punk, New Wave, and everything in between.

For its debut release, ODD Pleasures has prepared a Worldwide Various Artists Compilation including tracks by well-known producers from Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Turkey: Alvee, Persona RS, Marzian (SXDNS128), Alex Aguayo, Ducati Flux, Javier Martinez (SXDNS104), Fat&Bald, Ludviq, Aural Trace, and the label honchos themselves make up the dream team. 

Every artist presents a delicate piece of their musical exploration that gives life to an obscure, mysterious, and futuristic sonic universe. Powerful beats, underpinned by catchy and dark bass lines, New Wave synthetic textures, and atmospheres with hints of Post Punk and Krautrock elements. ODD Pleasures’s first compilation proposes a storytelling journey that crosses the line between the dancefloor and casual listening, a soundtrack to anyone who seeks an immersive driving force.

The track we were solicited to premiere/review was cooked with love in Santiago, Chile, by talented producer Roman Sebastian aka Persona RS, also a member of MKRNI, Roman & Castro, and Follakzoid. His “Space Pod”, definitely one of the highlights of the release, is a groovy and bouncing peak time cut with a powerful bassline and a stunning synth layer, a powerful contribution to a mighty compilation. Welcome, Odd Pleasures! We wish you a successful journey!

This Begins

tm8.club’s fourth VA brings together *FLINTA artists exploring the deeper, more emotive corners of the club spectrum, creating a richly layered compilation from the first beat.

On this release, each artist delivers an engaging and evocative track, from introspective wormholes to potent post-midnight moments, resulting in a nuanced and sonically textured body of work. 

KØLT co-founder AYIM opens the V/A with a cerebral touch on ‘Tier’, built by  a sparse soundscape and layered with a tenebrous lead and gauzy grooves. It’s followed by So_N, who begins ‘NB’ on a beatless note before descending into siren-shaped frequencies and resonant basslines.

On ‘Kråkesølv’, Oslo-based artist vilde wahl evokes a bleep-ridden world led by a loopy  melody, flecked with mechanical whirrs. Simrana sprinkles staccato beats between churning rhythms and metallic riffs on ‘RealmRide’, forming a shadowy and quick-paced number. 

anti-alias founder Emma Rak melds throbbing melodies with oil-slicked drums and dubby atmospheres on ‘Kali Tragus’, produced with razor-sharp precision. xia closes the compilation on ‘Heart glitch’, stitching woody percussion between bird-like FX, culminating in a push-pull effect. It’s the kind of track that stays with you long after listening—much like the V/A itself, which embodies the label’s evolving ethos and emotional range.
