Ulla Records is back with another VA : « Shifted Frequencies ». For our two years anniversary we wanted to treat you with something special, our first physical release, on vinyl !

Now you know our mojo : to explore that 80s inspired, wonky disco sound, in all its shapes and forms ! From Italo to acid, EBM or New Wave, we wanted to showcase some of the multiple facets of the label, our interpretation of these « Shifted Frequencies ». Between France, Italy, UK & Germany, we gathered a fine selection of talented artists, a mix of familiar faces and new encounters.

We’re thrilled to welcome Younger Than Me and REES for the first time on the label, and equally so to have Alberto Melloni back with us, alongside label founders Austher and Naranja. All together, they captured some fragments of our shifted frequencies.

This one's for you dancers !

Younger Than Me - Don't Fly With The Elephants [ULLA008]

The saying “Don't judge a book by its cover” can be also applied to music. Some albums, EPs, and singles have amazing covers, but the music is just… bad – or vice-versa. Many are also the case in which both the artwork and the music are simply sublime – or both, a total train wreck. No, we are not going to mention any examples. You can do this mentally by yourself (just do it, it’s fun). Right now, we’d rather stick with the release premiered here: with a badass design and a stunning selection of seven dark-as-hell cuts, Marinelli's debut EP "Manteca", marks the 60th episode of the Oviedo-based powerhouse Espacio Cielo.

The man of the hour is a Seville-based DJ, producer, and promoter, quite well-known for his work shaking the city's nightlife scene: he organizes various parties and is a resident of the monthly "Electronic Lunch" festival. For his very first output, he teamed up with an AAA+ team of remixers: none other than Rigopolar, Alen Skanner, Lebollet (RASTROLIVE004), and Moo Moonster (SXDNS054/TAKEOVER002) & Parissior (SXDNS206/FREEDL043/TAKEOVER002). 

The track we were solicited to review comes from the creative mind of Alen Skanner, a rising Spanish artist with previous works published on Sharped Records and Ritmo Fatale. For his take on “El Forastero”, Alen did what he does best: infused the original with heavy doses of stamina in the shape of fat basslines and sturdy synth layers. The slight increase in the BPM (from 124 to 127) simply made things fit like a glove. Puro FUEGO!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://espaciocielo.bandcamp.com/

PREMIERE464 // Marinelli - El Forastero (Alen Skanner Remix)

https://emotional-especial.bandcamp.com/album/picha

Especial is delighted to welcome Odopt back to the label, this time teaming up with Sano for a club-heavy global excursion and the vocal deep dive of Picha. A meeting of friends and collaborators across continents and years, finally presented in vocal and instrumental, as well the welcome return of label stalwart Jamie Paton with additional remix and dub to bite.

Long-time fans of Sebastian Hoyos aka Sano’s productions, seeing him release for Matias Aguayo’s Comeme and Munich’s Public Possession, Especial jumped at the chance to present Odopt’s reworkings of Sano’s oeuvre, taking vocalist’s Lolito
night-time exoticisms and offering a red-lit basement, dark room anthem.

As with all good things, time let the music ferment. The 2016 outline became a 2019 demo, first presented to the label, and emphatically embraced. With Sano returning from Barcelona to his native Columbia, replacing the world of club culture with horticulture, Odopt found their new Paris base led them to finally hit the pocket, the tribal percussion propelled by the razor-sharp snare and perfectly, more cowbell.

Who better than to request remixes than the origin of Especial, its first artist, mainstay mixer, and designer of each artwork since the label’s birth in late 2013, Jamie Paton. Having gone on to release for label peers and inspirations, ESP Institute and Multi Culti, this is a welcome return. Paton’s trademark deep dubwise is ever present, as is the exemplary programming, but now the twist of breaks in Remix form gives this EP widescreen dynamics.

The sound system stretching Dub mix rounds off, the vocals pulled back, the wobble and trembling bass, again highlight Especial’s mission, club music for the head and feet, mixing new wave with neu rave, beats with breaks, looking back but always, always moving forwards.

Sinchi returns with a collaborative EP from Eklektique and Anastasia Zems.

Eklektique is a sound producer and DJ. Released on labels: Leveldva, NEIN (DE), Alzaya (IT), Veneno (MX) and resident of Somatik sound system. Joining him and returning to Sinchi is Anastasia Zems, a creative soul who weaves electronic beats with soothing vocals who has previously released on Hard Fist, Les Yeux Orange and Ransom Note (amongst others).

Kicking off with ‘Asyd’ Eklektique combines several genres and creates a unique track including energetic bass lines, looped acid and trance melodies, industrial EBM elements and an indie dance groove.

Anastasia Zems ‘ Consequences’ is a track that plunges into a dark trance-EBM journey where the main message is the idea that every action has consequences.

Completing the trio, is the title track…. a weapon inspired by early trance, filled with acid, Anastasia's vocals and a bright old-school synth sound.

3 tracks that are sure to kick start any underground dance-floor into life.

The non-profit label will again donate all proceeds to supporting Indigenous Forest guardians in the Brazilian Amazon via their own foundation.

Karassimeon - AETHERNOVA EP
[Ritmo Fatale 022]
releases April 25, 2025

Soundcloud : @karassimeon

All tracks are written, produced, mixed and mastered by Karassimeon.
Artwork : Splitsaber.exe

Karassimeon, one of Ritmo Fatale’s key producers and performers, returns to the label with his new EP, Aethernova.

The EP delivers an introspective and intense journey in two phases.

It begins with a descent into darkness, driven by cinematic, tense EBM—Karassimeon’s signature style. Panique Synthétique embraces a bold, modernized electroclash, while Analog Anxiety oscillates between the clinical chill of a Dopplereffekt-scored basement and the unsettling strangeness of a haunted mansion.

The shift arrives with Aethernova, the title track, where dissonant pads pave the way for a brighter, more hopeful breakbeat—an element the artist often explores in his live sets. The journey ends with Final Flash, a liberating italo-trance anthem marked by a vocal hook that lights the way out: “take me to the stars.”
