Juanito State & Monsieur Philippe connect for their debut on Obscura - the Frutos Brutos EP. The Colombian connection bears fruit yet again, providing a rich, mass-moving, and distinct sound that has caught the ears of global dancers. Powerful synthetic sounds enter the fold, as analog tones meet punchy drum patterns across this 6-track project, showcasing a club-driven sound from the compatriots.

The project’s two singles - Indie Town & Biche - lead the line on Frutos Brutos, providing twisted recognizable vocal chops on top of soaring synth work. Chonta Dura welcomes percussive latin rhythms over crisp broken beats, while Her In Hell is built upon minimal tones built for the afterhours sessions.I Mix Your Love feels like an instant classic, as gritty analog-drenched hooks ebb & flow on top of timeless vocal work. Closing the show in memorable fashion, Pineal Scratch pummels the soul, diving into the dark crevices of dancefloor appeal.

Frutos Brutos releases on all digital platforms April 29th, with presale available April 20th.

Rez Dorsia
Abstrakt Lover EP [OBSM013]
Release Date - June 3, 2022

Stream & Download - https://ObscuraMusic.lnk.to/AbstraktLover

We’re thrilled to welcome Chicago’s Rez Dosia to Obscura for his first feature length project - The Abstrakt Lover EP. With a feature selection on the recent Jimi Jules Essential Mix, Rez is on the rise as the summer season kicks into gear.

The project’s namesake and A-side Abstrakt Lover brings crisp acidic tones and tripped out vocal chops, creating bespoke dancefloor moments. Lights Out & Apache Plume bring a low-slung minimal vibe, keeping the groove tight while allowing punchy drum programming to catch the ear. Atacama welcomes floating melodies to lighten the mood, before Black Reflections sends us back into the deep with an ominous analog arrangement brimming with late night flavor. Closure wraps up the projects with an elongated break welcoming signature dancefloor moments.

The Awake, Pt. 1 EP [OBSM009]
Release Date - July 1st, 2022

Stream & Download - https://ObscuraMusic.lnk.to/TheAwake1

Riot Dance leads the line with crisp house kicks on a heady rise through the early stages, setting the groove deep into the foundation before an analog-tinged synth line claims the hook. Acidic tones & ethereal stabs offer a generous dose of psychedelia, while the gritty groove ensures Riot Dance’s ability to ignite any dance floor.

Modular Madness harnesses ominous flavors and a driving baseline that ebbs & flows to keep minds melting. The melodies open into swirling synthetics, with revolving reverberations and rich soundscapes capturing the ear from start to finish. The B-side is brimming quick breaks built with dance floor moments in mind. A true techno tool for the selectors amongst us.

Storied German duo Extrawelt arrive at Obscura on remix duty, taking the reins on Riot Dance to twist a low-slung groover. They bring the baseline into the foreground, keeping a delightful vibe alive and welcoming a touch of light to the dark underbelly of the original, before diving back into the deep as the track unfolds. 

Obscura regular Mathew Jonson connects with a producer he knows quite well - his brother Nathan. Together, they remix Modular Madness under their alias Midnight Operator. Picking up the pace, they maintain the acid-laced grit from the original Fedele arrangement, while adding serene melodies to the high-end. A balanced rework from two seasoned veterans.

V.A. - The Sound Of Obscura [OBSM014]
Release Date - November 18th, 2022

Stream & Download - https://obscuramusic.lnk.to/TheSoundOfObscura

Bari-based talent Fedele’s Obscura Music label continues to go from strength to strength as a pioneering platform for avant-garde techno music with a leftfield twist. Following a string of poignant releases earlier in the year, the label returns in November with a generous serving of its undeniably unique sound palate provided by a carefully handpicked selection of celebrated electronic names.

Heading the bill, label boss Fedele is joined by a worthy cast of adversaries, including Damon Jee, Stephan Barnem, Works of Intent, Odd Oswald, VNTM, Rez Dorsia, Golden Virgo, Emitr, Juanito State, and Dustin Holtsberry.

Spanning thirteen tracks, The Sound Of Obscura takes you on a spirited journey through a myriad of different genre-loosened vibes. Whether it’s the marauding grittiness ‘Starfield’, the resonant darkness of ‘Healing’ or Works Of Intent’s ‘Limitless Leisure’ that spins you full of synth-rich electro-laced vocal goodness, the collectively pleasant lean away from mainstream techno and focus on sonic storytelling delivers a firm reminder of Fedele’s appeal and his artistic vision for Obscura.

Nestled between a freshly-squeezed Fedele cut, you’ll find a library of different tales. From the afro-infused glitchiness of Rez Dorsia’s ‘Ultra Lux’ right through to the pounding warehouse persona of Golden Virgo’s ‘Canadian Swinger’, it’s a celebration of everything compilations should be variety, creativity, boldness and energy, all wrapped up in an artistically digestible ball for you to enjoy on the dancefloor or the comfort of your own home.

Stream & Download - https://obscuramusic.lnk.to/HurtMeBad

We’re thrilled to welcome Chicago’s Rez Dosia back to Obscura for his second feature length project - the Hurt Me Bad EP. Rez is on the rise as the summer season kicks into high gear, with widespread support flowing in from techno titans Jimi Jules, Fedele, Dubfire, and more.

This 5-track EP spans the spectrum of synthetic mastery, garnishing global selectors with innovative tools for peak-time punch. A New Level claims the A-side role, featuring a vibrantly lo-fi vocal performance from Vela-Fi which floats over a crisp & playful synthetic house groove. Revolution welcomes driving dips & dives; an ominous offering with a vivacious build for dancefloor defiance. The EP’s namesake - Hurt Me Bad - continues to turn the dial, propelling us deeper into an analog assault of Rez Dorsia. Klexos is a progressive-tinged number angled through the lens of acid techno. Closing out the project is everyone’s dear friend - Anxiety. The most linear and after-hours feeling of the bunch, Rez welcomes tripped-out tones to keep the late-night lovers floating into higher planes. Simply put - another round of undeniable productions from Rez Dorsia.

Xx Isis xX - Burn Like Fire (Fedele Remix) [OBSM017R1]

Stream & Buy https://obscuramusic.lnk.to/BurnLikeFireRMX

Fedele first discovered the original version of ‘Burn Like Fire’ on Xx Isis xX’s Facebook page. It’s a deeply personal, self-produced synth-pop track - which Isis had posted on the internet to see how people would react. The song struck a chord with Fedele, inspiring him to ask her if he could remix and release it on his label. She agreed and he proceeded to give it his signature chugging electro treatment, turning it into a euphoric club weapon.

[OBSM002] A2. Voiski - Floodlight For Sunflower

Agents Of Time are proud to present ‘Ordinary Cosmic Dance’, the new EP on their own Obscura imprint. Over three tracks the Bari based trio brandish hypnotic, looping melodies in techno structures with subtle trance references. It arrives a year after the birth of the label, which has since issued music by Hiver, Amandra and The Hacker amongst others.

‘Ordinary Chaos’ builds low end frequencies juxtaposed with a stripped back melodic lead and staccato bass. ‘Cosmic Frequencies’ revolves around a syncopated synth line that swells its way through mesmeric percussion and entrancing pads. ‘Dance Impulse’ takes fragments of dub techno and remoulds them into a glitchy dancefloor workout.

Ordinary Cosmic Dance EP

[OBSM005] B1. Agents Of Time - Cosmic Frequencies

Mathew Jonson and Agents Of Time take their on-stage collaboration into the studio for a new EP on Obscura, ‘Repeating Pattern, Numbers and Letters’.
Italian trio Agents Of Time realise a longtime dream with the eighth release on their Obscura label. Mathew Jonson’s singular productions and improvisational performance style has had a huge influence over them since the beginning of their career, so much so that their name Agents Of Time is taken from a 2010, Mathew Jonson album title. Their shared love for jamming and aligned musical visions led to a joint performance in 2017 (Agents Of Time played live with Jonson’s band Cobblestone Jazz) and now it lands on record.
The magic happened in Jonson’s spaceship of a studio in Berlin. Press play on opener ‘Repeating Patterns, Numbers and Letters’, which features the infectious vocals of Jonson’s wife Isis, and the spirited vibe of those sessions comes alive. The beats are organic, the melodies warm and colourful. Jonson’s inimitable splashes of funk and the Agents’ fluid basslines continue on the B-side with the kaleidoscopic breakdowns of ‘IG00156’. The digital only, final track ‘Dancing In The Darkness’ is another extended trip through the four artists’ rich world of sound, rounding off this inimitable record with striking musicianship.
‘Repeating Pattern, Numbers and Letters’ is out on March 29. Ahead of the release, Mathew Jonson and Agents Of Time play live together at Rex Club, Paris, on March 8th.
