Perc & Passarella Death Squad's cult classic 'Temperature's Rising' returns for a special 15th anniversary release with an updated 2025 mix of the track from Perc himself.

Since its original release on French label InFiné back in 2010 and it's re-release on Perc Trax in 2016 the track has continued to grow across multiple vinyl pressings and now boasts over 1.5 million streams across all digital platforms.

'Temperature's Rising' never needed a big remix package or to be transformed into some trend chasing hard techno banger, but Perc's 2025 remix subtly modernises the track, raising its tempo and giving it the extra dance floor muscle that fans of the original mix have been asking for. Perc is the only person he would trust to retouch a track that means so much to him and Passarella Death Squad and he displays a deftness of touch on this reworking, keeping the mysterious atmosphere of the original mix whilst making it perfect for today's DJs and dance floors.

Temperature's Rising 2025 will be released on magenta transparent coloured vinyl with new artwork by Danny Passarella, which builds upon the visual aesthetic of the 2016 Perc Trax release.

Perc & Passarella Death Squad - Temperature's Rising (2025 Mix)

Marking 21 years of outsider electronics and cult acclaim, ‘21 Years, 21 Likes’ is a 21 track retrospective from Passarella Death Squad — a multi-disciplinary project that has quietly infiltrated the fringes of contemporary electronica since 2004.

Spanning haunting melodies, industrial-laced techno, and cinematic ambient textures, this compilation captures the project's evolution: an eclectic barrage of sound that’s as uncompromising as it is deeply immersive.

Despite its modest title, the influence of Passarella Death Squad reaches far beyond the algorithm. Their work has earned the support of tastemakers like Optimo, Daniel Avery, Norman Nodge (Berghain), and Perc, and their standout track Just Like Sleep found a global audience in the soundtrack of BAFTA winning videogame “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice”.

21 Years, 21 Likes is both a celebration and a defiant shrug — an essential document for listeners who value music off the beaten path.

Passarella Death Squad deliver their powerful new single ‘No Mas’ backed with remixes from Simian Mobile Disco’s Jas Shaw & ex Micronaut George Issakidis.

“And for everyone there is a star for when you are alone.” 

Following the singles ‘In Heaven’ & ‘Creatures’ Passarella Death Squad introduce ‘No Mas’. 

With bass driven throbs, clipped layered synths and the maleficent vocals of Emilie Albisser creating a world of brooding, twisted emotion this is classic Passarella through and through.

Available to buy here - 
https://passarellarecords.bandcamp.com/album/anthem-just-like-sleep

Released February 2014 on Days Of Being Wild Recordings, this double A side release commences with “Anthem” - more tales from the dark side of dance music and electronica. Haunting loops of synth combined with uplifting stabs of traversing echoes creating depth and despair, with light over the lunar horizon. 

Then to "Just Like Sleep" - relentless, repetitive and crafted for the basement of "Silencio" in Paris, where at 6am, everything and everybody changes. 'Just like sleep' went on to be featured on the award winning Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice soundtrack.

Perc & Passarella Death Squad - Temperature's Rising 
Available to buy here - 
https://passarellarecords.bandcamp.com/album/temperatures-rising

Originally released back in 2010 as part of an Agoria mix compilation sampler Temperature's Rising has become a cult hit with vinyl copies now impossible to find for any price as the chance of a repress was held back by record company politics. Now, finally, it returns, remastered for 2016 and enjoying the clear cut and full side of vinyl it undoubtedly deserves.

On the B-side is the Temperate Dub, recorded at the same time as the lead mix, but which has remained unreleased until now. It takes a deep classic even deeper dubbing out syllables of the vocal over a reverberated version of the  now familiar half-time rhythm of the original mix.

Temperature's Rising lyrics
______________________________________

Deeper and deeper,
like dancing on fire,
a lonely hunter,
of insane emotions,
draws violent weather.
The flights of angels,
to the sunless sea,
hanging strips of silver.
The black saint slashes,
the visions of love.

To heavenly films,
temperature’s rising.

Like dancing on fire.

Kings and queens,
the girls of the year,
and loads and loads... 
of lovely love.

For What The Center Brings - Lyrics

For what the center brings,
Of which we can be certain,
It does not have a name,
And remains until the end.

For what the center brings,
Accelerating the expansion,
Each turn is an effect,
And knowledge is the way.

For what the center brings,
Formed beneath the shadows,
Born before the heavens,
And in through the light.

For what the center brings,
The depths are connected,
Direct in every detail,
And hotter than the sun.

For what the center brings.

For what the center brings,
The form of all creation.
Divine as an expression,
The union of the heart.

For what the center brings,
Accelerating the expansion,
Each turn is an effect,
And knowledge is the way.

For what the center brings.

For what the center brings,
The depths are connected,
Direct in every detail,
And hotter than the sun.

For what the center brings,
The form of all creation.
Devine as an expression,
The union of the heart.

For what the center brings.

Repeat....

Stands alone and does not change,
Goes round and does not weary.

London’s Passarella Death Squad return again this April with music on the ever-exciting Passarella Records. Led by Danny Passarella, the reputable group has previously released on Perc Trax, The Republic Of Desire and Days Of Being Wild, while also manning one of London’s top cult clothing brands.

Passarella Death Squad have described their own music as ‘a diverse combination of contemporary electronica and haunting beautiful songs’ and their ‘Creatures’ EP is exactly that. Joining them on remix duties are Dext and Fool’s Gold producer Nightwave, as well as Nation and MOS affiliate D’Marc Cantu.

‘Creatures’ presents a sinister, yet infectious bassline groove resting under pumping drums and the maleficent vocals of Emilie Albisser. Glasgow’s Nightwave’s version offers heavier drums, with the melody split between metallic synths and malleable sine waves, while D’Marc Cantu delivers unyielding techno drum grooves with squelchy acid bass.

D'Marc Cantu & Danny Passarella - The Future Has A Silver Lining 
Available to buy here - 
https://lesdisquesdelamort.bandcamp.com/album/the-future-has-a-silver-lining-ep 

Danny Passarella (following Perc and Oliver Ho in a series of collabs) needs no introduction, his death squad of shoegaze warehouse ghost being of non-fading memory. D’Marc Cantu does not either, hero of Nation and fine purveyor of American acid. 

This is pure machine music straying from the eternal revival of everything vintage. It looks forward not… 

As they say it themselves: 

‘The Future has A Silver Lining’ title comes from the advertising for a high-end utopia promised in RoboCop’s ‘Delta City’. The track titles inspired by ASCII codes, represent the key elements that lay ahead in the film, or in today’s society'.

DJ Mag review

D’Marc Cantu is one of the finest contemporary US techno producers, and hopefully this release will win him exposure outside of the Nation/Kode camp. With a title derived from an ad tagline from the movie Robo Cop, this split release with Danny Passarella has a truly dystopian feel. ‘067’ and ‘068’ are throbbing, acid-led tracks, underpinned by ticking percussion and eerie, swirling synths. However, when the pair depart from this script, the truly magical moments occur; both ‘080’ and ‘065’ are irresistibly bleak, dubbed out grooves that ooze menace at every bar, making this one of 2019’s most distinctive records.
