@cursesforever is known to mix his rock & roll roots with the darker side of disco, with influences from EBM, new wave, psychedelic synths and post-punk. On his show, he likes to invite guests who all pride themselves on their own unique interpretation of post-punk, 80s, electronic music, and encouraging them to explore their roots and get out of their club music comfort zone.

Fringe Society makes an accomplished return to Wrong Era with his otherworldly album ‘The Art World’. We are invited into his delicately sculpted soundscape through abundantly transcendent tracks.

With a rich, analogue welcome from ‘Mondo Dell’Arte’, ghostly vocals filled with tantalising longing accompany this appropriate entry point for the LP. The tight arpeggios are a perfect anchor for the magnetic, alluring vocal lines. Beautifully phased synthesis on ‘Alexithymia’ cries out across the crisp instrumentation. Cascading, dystopian tones are delivered throughout, and artful harmonic dissonance can be heard in ‘Venom In Spurts’. 'The Art World' is brimming with this trademark approach to vivid imagery and powerful rhythmic pacing.

Intelligent odes to EBM and Proto House hit you on ‘Enigma Body Music'. Fizzing vocals and vast sound design add to this album’s fluidity. You cannot help but be stunned by the exciting, energetic twists and turns throughout this LP. The percussive work is unparalleled and creates an unstoppable drive across all tracks.

‘Arthur Ave Rules' presents itself as a menacing peak-time triumph. The slicing, metallic motif swells and evolves throughout. A perfectly placed rimshot adds grounding to this sweltering track. The last section of the record leaves you yearning for more of the cinematic brilliance of ‘The Bird Perspektive’ and the percussive, chiming floor filler ‘Frederike’s Summer’.

This release transports you to one of Fringe Society’s mesmerising live sets and a dimly lit Mullholand overlook. ‘The Art World’ embodies his consistently slick approach to production and breathtaking sonic atmospheres. A true force to be reckoned with.

PREMIERE: Fringe Society - Friederike´s Summer [Slow Motion Records]

Manipulations of Densel

Travelling through space, they looked out at what was below them. The planet was far away now and there was no guarantee that they might ever be able to return. Perhaps they were destined to live amongst the stars. They would become the aliens they once feared as they floated from realm to realm in the darkness.

There wasn't much light up here, nor sound but for the occasional chime or hum from the machine which propelled them onwards. Sometimes it were as if it was trying to communicate with them, perhaps to let them know that they were not all alone.

Terra Magica Rec. are set to release a record from Grischerr called 'Blue Gem Cavalcade'. It's a special, pensive collection of deep futuristic sounds paired with remixes from some stellar producers. The Heap remix was our pick of the bunch.

Unreleased DVS NME

DVS NME - Edge Cases

We're excited to unveil our latest digital release on the Meta Moto platform. Poladroïd, originating from Belgium, the featured producer is renowned for blending electro and IDM with a fierce energy, notably showcased on labels like Science Cult and his own Roulette Rekordz. However, Poladoïd offers a departure from his usual style with this release, which feels like a spiritual successor to his previous work "Eurosiberie" on Detriti.

Drenched in dense, filtered atmospheres and infused with nostalgic echoes of a bygone era, 'Danse Macabre' exudes a dark and gritty ambiance, straddling the realms of retro-futurism and melancholic machine melodies. Drawing inspiration from a spectrum as wide as Holderlin's 'Hyperion' and the poetic works of Robert Brasillach and Charles Baudelaire, 'Danse Macabre' showcases Poladroid's versatility in crafting diverse sonic landscapes while maintaining a signature sound.

Squirrels On Film White Label 03 
TANS – The Unfaithful Husband EP


The next vinyl record from Squirrels On Film is a special edition white label by TANS. The Unfaithful Husband EP contains four filthy acid laced electric body movers from Southern Italy's Michelle Tansella. Michelle currently lives in Berlin where he makes industrial techno with his cousin Mike Tansella Jr as SONS OF TRADERS, & has released experimental cassettes on the UK's Seagrave label, but his roots go back to the Italian Hip Hop scene of the 80s & early 90s with a group called Zona 45.

Il Marito Infedele begins the EP & its tape saturated industrial throb evokes the best of that distinctive sound of underground European dance music whose thread runs through Italo Disco, Cold Wave & Acid House. A sinister groove for a giallo séance, the electric tom tom drums pound away against a murky bed of rhythmic fuzz, eventually surrendering to the four on the floor energy flash. The edges stay rough throughout, resulting in a delightfully dirty, unpolished funk.

Vera Vera combines the arpeggiated synthitic bass of classic Italo with late 80s Windy City Wax Trax & Acid. A snap of white noise snare squish keeps time until the WBMX beat hits. A proper atonal synth freakout squeals its way out of some primitive extra terrestrial party machine then the beat takes over again, emphasizing the low frequencies of the groove.

Growing Concern is where the tab kicks in all the way. Distorted 303, blown-out 707 complete with unapologetic cow bell take the body on a journey through a strobe light smoke machine sweat-drenched laser rave fantasy. It's a feeling of walls being brought down, and there doesn't seem to be any way back.

Missing Foundation is another lysergic banger, a drum machine drawing Fibonacci sequences in your brain as you transcend the grimy warehouse where you left your body. The timeless glow of consensual dancefloor utopia burns bright even when you close your eyes, the monochrome of this white label having exploded into technicolor pixels & smiling yellow faces repeating infinitely to the vanishing point of the imagination.

† Maturre † Discos Capablanca † I'm a Cliche's Edit Service † Sameheads

"Ólta Karawane are creating a halo of mystery. An alcoholic duo that once met each other waking up from a delirious state in front of a moscow liquor store. One lost his keys (along with his pants) the other his wallet (along with his jacket). But they still had some booze and when deciding what to do next they were ending up in the studio. Apparently there was a bunch of people digging what they did, so they released a bunch of edits for Maturre, I'm a Cliché and on Discos Capablanca. These guys are true punks, they’re not friends with anyone, nobody likes them, nor do they like anyone, no sympathy, no respect, just moscow street punk."
