BEST OF 2022 Part I [Synth-pop//Electro Pop//Synthwave]

You couldn't see anything in front of you; the darkness shrouded the trees and any living organisms inhabiting them. By day these woods felt magical but at night it felt as though something sinister were afoot – as though there were unidentified creatures waiting to pounce in the shadows. These speculations would remain as such for those who'd been foolish enough to enter had never returned to tell the tale.

Bristol-based composer and audio-visual artist Surgeons Girl caught our attention with her EP for Livity Sound last winter. Now she follows that up with an outing for London's Inside Out Records titled 'The Empress Moss': four tracks that showcase her knack for creating enchanting sonics. Coming from a classical music background, she marries this approach with her passion for analogue hardware and love of ambient and techno sounds, inviting Ombra International boss Curses to take on the remix.

PREMIERE: Surgeons Girl - Dark Moss Night Terror (Curses Remix) [Inside Out Rec]

Korine on Audiotree Live

For Sure (Audiotree Live Version)

Underground Pacific’s latest offering, “The Only Good Wave Is a Next One”, feels deft and elegant. Through its post-punk and new wave underpinnings- tap-hissing kicks, chunky synth-wobbles, and bleached vocals- clear, fluid top notes give the sound a modern feel. The results are refractive yet moody, careful yet powerful, mature, and considered.

This compilation features a choice array of international artists from Italians Amarcord (MEET Compact Club, Ombra Int’l) and Italo-disco frontrunner Marcello Giordani (50% Marvin and Guy, known also as Italo Deviance) to Leipzig-based artist-musicians New Hook (Riotvan, Live at Robert Jonson, Ombra Int’l).
Californian Underground Pacific’s labelmaster Cantor, Robert E. Livingood (of Ombra Int’l), and Mexican Alf Champion (Fucanglong, Optimo Music) contribute tracks from across the Atlantic and complete the release’s lineup.

The Parisian collective, label and party instigators Pardonnez-nous is composed of five Parisian DJs coming from different and complementary musical universes.

Apologising upfront for being free, unsubmissive and their lack of style, genre or etiquette, Pardonnez-Nous delivers a one-way trip infused with urgency and a night vibe. Three tracks cobbled together with the energy of past and future eras: machines, beers, cigarettes, flashes, imperfections and the human as an extension. Sexy, unconcerned, acid, wild and dreamlike, their first release is a nasty mix from which would emerge the recipe for the perfect after-party, a long-lasting night, and an endless journey.

Tracklist: 

1.Un trait danger, deux traits sécurité
2.Trace magazine
3.N'oubliez rien avant de descendre

PREMIERE: Pardonnez-Nous - Un trait danger, deux traits sécurité [Karakter]

Accidental Win

Milf 02 EP

"Back for round two, mysterious imprint, MILF Recordings arrives with another threesome of perfectly sensual dubs from your favorite producer, “Unknown Artist.”  
Kicking off the EP, “Guilty Desire”, sets the dark tones early, with your traditional disco-tech syncopated bass line, over classic drums, both elements that now begin to feel like a familiar theme for MILF.  The track begins modestly, and then evolves into a ghostbusters-esque middle section, before closing out with a swirling, luxurious, analog filter sweep, another element that starts to feel like a key part of the label’s overall sonic aesthetic.  “Infinitits,” the EP’s second track, once more, takes the slower approach, bringing the tempo down below 110 bpm, and relying on the oscillating bass to slowly reel you in, while flanging, stereo, elements are added in a leisurely, hypnotizing, manner, over the track’s 7 minute downtempo journey.  With only a few select elements, the piece succeeds in giving off a grooving, “minimal disco” feel; A fitting ode to the top heavy.  The final track, “Don d’Orgasmes”, perhaps the heaviest of the three, simply due to the absolutely massive sub bass tones, and the only track on this particular EP to use what appear to be actual sex samples (remember MILF001?), provides another effective channel for visceral dance moves at your favorite, local fetish themed rave, or party.  While the three works clearly have a retro influence, the third, in particular, gives off an especially specific “80’s era electro” feel, again, due to the spot on synth programming.  All together, MILF002 delivers another set of tastefully racy, though still surprisingly easy to enjoy, dance floor grooves, as always, intended for mature audiences, only."
