This track has been chased after for quite sometime from our side. 
BM sent us the track around 2016, or 2017 but never with the intention of releasing it. 
It took alot of time, persistency and love for the music that turned things around in the end. 
We are more then thrilled to finally share this music with the world. 

You can order the record here, vinyl release date 4/4/22:

Black Merlin - The Mohican Trance Leopard

Nadia D'Alò - D.S.

It's been almost 3 years since the first volume of Dancefloor Detonators graced our shelves and heated up our dancefloors, so it's a pleasure to get a second volume in our hands with which to enhance our nocturnal revelries.

As with Volume 1, the ethos is to pick some of the label's most loved digital-only tracks and release them on wax, accompanied by some exclusive new cuts to keep things fresh and juicy.
Featuring label regulars Secret Circuit, Sordid Sound System and Bal5000 alongside Optimo Music regular Feon and newcomer Wanda Krak, the resultant 5-tracker is nothing short of sublime.

Sordid Sound System takes us into that space that only he seems to be able to take us. Those who know his sound will find the familiar use of analogue gear is a staple. Echoes of Kosmische, acid, On-U Sound style dub effects, monumental breakdowns ebbing and flowing...it's all you need wrapped into one ten-minute epic odyssey.

Rain Dance by Birds is the first release on Feed The Void, the record label that takes its name from her monthly Netil Radio show. The aim of the label is to shed a light on some of the vast influences that inspire the Birds sound and the music she plays throughout her eclectic DJ sets. Expect plenty of EBM, acid, trance, breaks, electro, slow prog, chug and more. This self release is just the beginning before a series of VAs containing some of her favourite artists and friends. 

The EP itself is a huge melting pot of electro bass-lines, Birds’ distinctive EBM / dark wave inspired vocals, wonky acid, industrial sounding broken rhythms and quirky, unhinged synth lines.

Opening track ‘Trust Me’ sets the precedent for the EP and label with the lyrics “trust me, you’v not seen anything yet.” In other words, expect the unexpected.

‘Living With Liars’ opens with some pretty ferocious percussive drum beats before bursting into a spacey electro inspired bass line, interwoven with a squelchy distorted 303 and slick post-punk vocals.

‘Rain Dance’ is the heavy hitter of the EP, with a much higher BPM, an earth shaking amount of bass, a wonky MS20 line and fuzz guitar that seems to come out of nowhere. This title track is nothing like you’ve ever heard from Birds before which is why she chose it as the title track.

Closer ‘The Sands of Perception’ is a track inspired a passage from Aldous Huxley’s ‘The Doors of Perception.’ Tempo wise, we’re brought back to the mid range, whilst the ominous EBM inspired bass-line contrasts to the warm strings and uplifting vocals. It’s a euphoric ending to one hell of an intense ride.

PREMIERE: Birds - Living With Liars [Feed The Void]

Cosmo Vitelli presents MEDHEAD REMIXES a digital-only LP featuring remixes from his third album MEDHEAD, released on I’m a Cliché in 2022, which included five tracks created in collaboration with Dutch artist Truus de Groot.
 
Featuring 8 tracks plus an instrumental version, its release a year after MEDHEAD is an opportunity to close this chapter before the next one begins. It is also a reminder of the French producer’s love for reinterpretation, by playfully looking back on the album rather than being revisiting exhaustively.
 
Indeed, in addition to 2 remixes by Cosmo Vitelli himself, he asked producers he appreciates to pick a track of their own choice to remix, without obsessing on necessarily giving them a club dimension. His guests ended up exploring several atmospheres, with a varying ratio between ethereal and more dance-focused moods, sometimes combining both. 

It is always with excitement that Cosmo Vitelli remixes his tracks. Down The Hatch is given a “boogie dub” treatment, thanks to bubbling analog synths and old school drum machines, it is a catchy and funky exercise in less is more production. His remix of How Is It To Be You is an elegant exploration of disco-adjacent atmospheres and arrangements. It does a lot with just a handful of elements and functions as a kind of disco dub, simple from a distance and full of detail when closely listened to.

Andrei Rusu is one half of Romanian duo Khidja. His remixes of How Is It To Be You (one vocal version and one instrumental) are dancefloor-focused cuts, with a catchy vibe in part indebted to 80’s dance genres. Underneath the shiny veneer, ominous synths on the verge of dissonance hint at something darker, like the soundtrack of a forgotten giallo.
A long-time friend of Cosmo’s and a producer recognized for his mind-melting output that spans many genres, Krikor remixes 7 Foot Clown In My Bed. The remix sees Krikor in top dub form, with a 10-ton heavy beat, slow, and hallucinogenic. It’s impossible not to sway in slow motion while playing it.

Krokakai came to Cosmo’s attention following his debut release on Glasgow’s Insible, Inc. His version of Trichophilia blends a subdued post-punk approach with more modern production techniques. The result is ear catching and introspective, almost cinematic at times, while remaining danceable.



Up-and-coming producer DJ F16 Falcon, who released a handful of EPs on Notte Brigante and Association Fatale, revisits Down The Hatch. With a plodding, shuffled rhythm and a leftfield, almost IDM feel, this downtempo remix takes the track into a new, forward-thinking dimension.

Dali Muru & The Polyphonic Swarm, a project led by Enir Da, is behind one of Cosmo’s favourite album of 2022. So it was natural for him to ask the producer to contribute to this release, and he picked Patient Zero. Dub-infused, and ethereal but also focused on movement, this half-step version is captivating.

Froid Dub is a duo made up of Stéphane Bodin & François Marché, who previously recorded music together as Bosco at the turn of the century. For their first remix under this name, they deliver a langourously understated take on Just Like His Dad that strips the tune to its bare elements, for a dub as icy as they come.

Cosmo Vitelli will renew his collaboration with Truss de Groot in 2023 for a full album, and this year will also mark the return of his Bot’Ox duo with a new release.

PREMIERE : Cosmo Vitelli (feat. Truus De Groot) - How Is It To Be You (Andrei Rusu Remix)

The square was vast and wide, only a handful of people were strolling around in the cold, harsh morning air. The myriad of shops bordering the cobbles were beginning to open; awnings out and signs propped front, right and centre, advertising all manner of trinkets, treasures and memorabilia. Soon the place would be brimming with visitors from near and far, all looking for something unique to bring back home with them - for a piece of this place, a memory of a time well spent. 

After their first split-format EP with Anatolian Weapons and LINJA back in 2021, Russian imprint Serenades are returning for another, and this time its Dolphins and Odopt sharing the wax. Continuing the series' mission to connect artists from different places around the world, the release features two tracks from the project of Benedikt Frey, Markus Woernle & Nadia D'Alò as Dolphins and Grigory Nelyubin & Ivan Maslov as Odopt. Strains of downtempo, leftfield and psychedelia all interweave: there's music for losing yourself and forgetting your worries on the dance floor, and there's also sounds for introspection and deep listening.

PREMIERE: Odopt - Syntagma [Serenades]

Born in Milan to a Cameroonese father and a Polish/Lithuanian mother, Nathan Dawidowicz moved at the age of 6 to Jerusalem. He was spending his childhood in a Jewish ultra-orthodox environment playing the piano and dreaming of being a Fashion designer and musician. After waking up from the reality he was raised in, he moved to Venice and started to explore the “outside world” of the mental barriers of religion. Music and fashion were his medicine, and he quickly became addicted to musical textures and vinyl. His love for music brought him quickly to Berlin, where he currently lives and loves. 

Sanctuary Of Ideas is a very personal and optimistic journey by Nathan Dawidowicz. His first solo album is a spiritual path, as cosmic and adventurous as Nathan`s trajectory, with beautiful twists and psychedelic twirls into Dawidowicz’s personal rabbit hole. A record full of memories and positive affirmations, filled with Jazzy yet psychedelic Cosmic and Krautrock elements. A fusion of inspiration - and a perfect reflection of Dawidowicz’s heritage. 

Idea`s Eve is a stargate to our ancestral power. The source of our inspiration is connected to our past - to the spirits of our ancient memories. Dawidowicz leaves a lot of space to breathe in this magical opener. Enchanting melodies and bubbling sounds surround the listener while his voice keeps repeating a mantra of an ancient love spell. A track where you feel your DNA spiraling up the ladder of evolution. Yet so natural and healing. 

Full Moon Dance is the spiritual continuation of the first track. A swirl of magical melodies, yet jazzy but truly cosmic walking up the ladder to another dimension, where warm moon rays and fluffy clouds surround love. The synth lines represent the playful and smooth moon rays reflected on a rhythmical heart-beating ground where tears can be joyfully spent to honor the emotions we usually oppress. 

To close the EP, Nathan Dawidowicz worked a half a year to finalize the last track in full detail. 23 Minutes and 18 Seconds long is the Capricorn Rising Over Jerusalemite Temple. This story is where the listener is brought to a higher level of consciousness. Against the rules of our consumerist world, Nathan Dawidowicz focuses on a dramaturgy full of patience for our own lifetime. Acidic lines come and go, powerful synth solos trigger unknown brain parts, and an epic melody accompanies the listener and lets dark emotions melt in a brass-filled part where a voice tells us that time is on our side. The song ends with an epic twist and promises a new start, where our most lovely memories stay in a vortex of light. Beam me up Nathan.
