A thick fog of cigarette smoke hung in the air, conjuring up shapes that flowed and danced before disappearing under the dimly lit lights. The bar was fairly empty bar the few regulars that frequented this spot night on night, and a weird hooded figure sat in the corner who'd barely looked up from his drink since entering. It was rare that outsiders found their way to this place, it was way off the beaten track, but this stranger had somehow infiltrated their space - how and why were a mystery.

Facets' Samo Records label are celebrating five years with their 10th release, No Evidence, which rallies some good friends of the label together. Local Suicide and Skelesys continue their collaboration with two original cuts inspired by old deceptive novels and a girl's disorientating journey at a party. These are  backed up by three remixes: a high octane refix from the label boss, an EBM twist from Intergalactic Gary and our pick, an acid-driven rave mix from Anatolian Weapons.

PREMIERE: Local Suicide - Weird Encounters (Anatolian Weapons Remix) [Samo Records]

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/funboys
Track: Apparatuses
Label: https://soundcloud.com/bonkersrecs
Format: Digital EP
Release date: 21/07/22
YouTube: https://youtu.be/ii7QAVP4mxw

Funboys is the musical partnership of Audun and a.d.a.m. baby, ably assisted by Poodfy. The three have their roots in club scenes spanning more than three decades, stretching from Oslo and Antwerp, ending up on Australia’s Gold Coast.
The Apparatuses EP is a collection oddball jams blending hardware and organic instrumentation. The result is refreshingly left-of-centre, showcasing the trio’s bent take on somewhat danceable music.
Apparatuses was inspired by the spirit of experimentation and old-fashioned laboratory equipment as seen on Australian television last century, courtesy of the late great Professor Julius Sumner Miller. His immortal question, burned into the brains of his young viewers, was always "Why Is It So?"
The practical execution involved an Adrenaline (a recent product from the inventor of the modern-day drum machine, Roger Linn), playing tug-o-war with a Devilfish, a mutant of that essential dancefloor engine, the Roland TB-303.

Duro is pleased to present "Muy Divas," a compilation curated by international Mexican tastemaker Mystery Affair. Celebrating diversity and freedom, this 8 track glorious journey includes music by the talented bandolera Villaseñor, the chilean and Madrid based Fernanda Arrau, the french Mala Ika, the duo Brolorizo, Argentina's InVertida, the Mexican SÜSS, and the mighty and unique Hard Ton & Urvin June ft. Lilly Escuelita.

The collection of stompers begins with the visionary and groovy Villaseñor's "Emergency Loop." This bouncy and trance-inducing track will transport you to a rhythmic Valhalla. Did anyone mention ecstasy? Next, Fernanda Arrau takes us on a jubilant quest with "Calypso," a Caribbean infused booter that invites you to test your nicest footwork to the rhythm of a pounding Bassline.

Mala Ika amazed us with "Yumis Kopfstoß," a dynamic and turbine geared trance driver, featuring an electrifying bassline and sparkling melodies that twinkle like bulbs in the ceiling. On the other hand, Brolorizo slows down the tempo with "Leave Me Alone," a lush and playful track with a solid bassline and haunting chords that intertwine with delicate vocals, enveloping you in a soft silk you can't escape from.

InVertida takes control with "Retorno," a cyclic, minimalist, and mind-bending track. With its rumbling bassline and breezy synthesizers, this one gets inside your body without warning. From Guadalajara, SÜSS delivers a proper acid techno track with "The Sky Belongs To Everyone," where distorted beats and magnetic tones create an atmosphere that sends you straight to the asylum. Next, Hard Ton & Urvin June ft. Lilly Escuelita pleases us with an instant classic, "Operating Worldwide," a house track with introspective, deep, and sophisticated sounds.

To land off the compilation, we have "Trippy Candy" by pack leader Mystery Affair. It is a percussive, slightly dark recording featuring melting noises and classic stab house elements. "Muy Divas Vol. 1" will be available starting from June 30th on all digital platforms.

Would you like to play a game? The Paris-based rising star musician Joe Lewandowski (SXDNS347) challenges you to stay away from his freshest release coming soon on Friendsome Records. Mission: Impossible if you are into high-quality retro-infused Indie Dance/Dark Disco cuts, and even more impossible if you are a vinyl lover – yeah, his forthcoming instalment will also be available in twelve inches: “Clair-Obscur” comes with four remarkable originals, two of which in collaboration with French producers Manlia (“Power”) and DJ Football (“Play That Game”). The latter, premiered here.

With well-received appearances on Amsem, Skylax, Les Disques Pavillon, and Nothing Is Real, Joe has been drawing a lot of attention with his outstanding fusion of organic instruments and synthesisers. It’s not uncommon to see him soaking his productions with his self-made guitar riffs and bass lines, a consequence of his Rocker years. 

For his partnership with DJ Football, Joe opened the vaults of his Post-Punk influences and came up with a brilliant Ian-Curtis-meets-New-Order theme. With a progressive and avant-garde aura, “Play That Game” is one of the best tracks of the year so far. However, not everyone will dare play it at peak time – where it belongs. The reason: It is a too-bold track and not every DJ has the guts to do it. Challenge accepted?

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

PEINE PERDUE (Coco Gallo/Stephane Argillet) - 2012
excerpt from the album "No Souvenir" (Cold Beats records, 2014)

Les sentiments inachevés
S'obstinent
À changer de fleuve

Le désespoir est à son comble

Mon âme, retient mon corps
Emporté par le courant

Le naufrage se poursuit

Scène intermédiaire
D'un drame immense

Fuite de l'existence

Au-delà des retenues
Passent les rapides
Prisonniers de la cartographie

Les liaisons transatlantiques
Ne se font plus

Les trains de nuit vers l'Est
Faussent compagnie
  
Les Ferry-Boats
N'abordent plus les tempêtes

Les long-courriers
Plient bagages

Au-delà des retenues
Passent les rapides
Prisonniers de la cartographie
 
Le naufrage se poursuit
Tous ne reviendront pas

Les sentiments inachevés
S'obstinent
À changer de fleuve

Le désespoir est à son comble
Le naufrage se poursuit
Tous ne reviendront pas
