For our 55th release we are launching a special series called Dark Entries Editions, dedicated to 12" singles made for the dance floor. The first release in this series is Victrola, the duo of Antonio "Eze" Cuscinà and Carlo Smeriglio from Italy. The band formed in Messina, but later relocated to Florence to join the rich musical scene there with Neon, Pankow, Alexander Robotnick and Diaframma. Beginning as a 4-piece combo (two guitarists, bassist, drummer) in 1979, they slimmed down to a synthesizer and guitar-based duo a few years later.
Their sole release was the "Maritime Tatami"/"A Game Of Despair" EP, from 1983. Using an array of now-classic Roland synthesizers (TR 606, TR 303 Bassline, Juno 6) plus a Korg Polysix and Fender Stratocaster, they crafted two darkwave ballads. "Maritime Tatami" engulfs the listener with trance-inducing synth lines and melancholic vocals over its epic 8 minutes. Oblique minor-key bass lines provide an anchor while snappy, brittle 606 rhythms propel the track along. The lyrics tell the story of Tatami, a boy from a fishing town who yearns for a new life in the big city. "A Game of Despair", on the flipside, is a haunting crawl through the eyes of a woman left by her lover. An angular guitar riff repeats hypnotically, as fragile icy synth lines chime emptily above it.
Each song has been carefully remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The vinyl comes housed in an exact replication of the original jacket, and includes an insert with lyrics and never-before-seen photos. Victrola's only release is a truly singular and timeless masterpiece—it’s from a dimension of its own.

Modem - Ihmisen aika

Fantasy Techno collective DUST - a trio comprised of audio engineer Michael Sherburn, DIY nightlife entrepreneur John Barclay and multi-disciplinary artist Greem Jellyfish - announce today their debut full length, Agony Planet.  

The nightmarish, alien horror narrative will be released January 22nd on Mike Simonetti’s new 2MR imprint. Immersed in Brooklyn's DIY rave community, all three members held roles in the genesis of notable extinct venues 285 Kent and Trip House, and now Bossa Nova Civic Club. In 2012 Sherburn and Barclay joined forces to found DUST and were joined shortly thereafter by Jellyfish; the following year they released their first 12”, “Onset of Decimation,” on Mannequin. Between 2013 and 2015, they released several more 12”, two on Mannequin, as well as one for Sci-Fi & Fantasy and one for 2MR.

Over these years, with Sherburn at the helm, the framework and themes for Agony Planet began to be conceptualized. Thirteen tracks, spanning in genre from digital hardcore, dungeon techno, and celestial ambience, are all held together by a theme of extravagant extraterrestrial warfare. Club-savvy techno engineering accompanied by frontwoman Greem Jellyfish’s bizarre monologues and warped screams beckon listeners on a journey through the occult mysticism of the nightmarish and torturous deep ocean of an alien hell. Agony Planet is an unrelenting and bold debut from a trio not afraid to explore the dark caverns of the underground.

--------------------------------------------
Tu n’es qu’une ombre trouble
  Un dur noyau d’indifférence
        Un regard neutre
       Fuyant les regards
  Lèvres muettes, yeux éteints
      Tu sauras désormais
    Repérer dans les flaques
        Dans les vitres
 Sur les carrosseries luisantes
        Des automobiles
      Les reflets fugitifs
       De ta vie ralentie
  Tu n’es qu’une ombre trouble
  Un dur noyau d’indifférence
        Un regard neutre
       Fuyant les regards
  Tu n’es qu’une ombre trouble
          Tu es assis
   Et tu ne veux qu’attendre
            Attendre
Jusqu’à ce qu’il n’y ait plus rien
      Plus rien àattendre
       Que vienne la nuit
     Que sonnent les heures
   Que les jours s’en aillent
       Que les souvenirs
          S’estompent
  Tu n’es qu’une ombre trouble
  Un dur noyau d’indifférence
    Un regard neutre fuyant
  Tu n’es qu’une ombre trouble
-----------------------------
Lyrics by George Perec, excerpt from "Un Homme qui dort"

Peine Perdue - OMBRE TROUBLE

Ask yourself, are you happy with what you're doing?

LYRICS:

Посреди гостинной
Стоит каменный стол,
Он покрыт гардиной,
Зеленой парчей.

По нужде привычной 
Я сажусь за него,
Беру в руки кисти
И рисую ничто...

Выставляю картины,
Продаю за бабло.
Дорогие машины,
Ресторан, казино.

Выставляю картины,
Продаю за бабло.
Дорогие машины,
Ресторан, казино.

Broken Sculptures Martial Canterel Remix

Broken Sculptures - Martial Canterel Remix for This Is The Bridge (from Intersection II)

'Iguana is the debut release of Dead Husband on Bordello A Parigi. The American group push their unique sound to new levels across this EP. Tracks, like the title piece, pace on skeletal beats with lyrics soaked into melody to create a bliss steeped style touched with melancholy. “Memory” trills with a similarly emotive tone. A lovelorn line marches to a pulsating drum. Machine words speak, melting with tear-stained chords in a contemporary work fitting of the modern romantics. The B-Side adopts a new complexion with “They’ll Be Fine Without You.” Despite the finality of the title, the track courses with an invigorating energy as rhythms race next effervescent notes. Percussive patterns quicken for the close, “Lake.” Sheer crystalline keys scale skyward, dancing and writhing between steady kicks and echoing voice. Synthesizer gems care of this Boston based outfit.'
