Sonically cradling you with deep and honest 80's emotions, swedish producer Johan Bengtsson's alter ego, Mitch Murder creates addictive retro synth masterpieces. As the story goes Mitch is an overworked Wall Street I.T. from the 80's who dreams at night other realities for himself. These are the soundtrack to his dreams. The first offering, "The Touch" is the retro-futuristic anthem of a peaceful world that's just uprisen from it's dark chaotic post apocalyptical past. Straddling the line of french touch, 80's soundtrack and robot disco band music it seamlessly carves out it's own sound space. Overwhelmingly emotional and uplifting it has one of the most triumphant guitar synth solos you'll ever hear.

If by the first note of "Race Day," a vision of futuristic indy cars whizzing past a waving checkered flag doesn't enter your brain there's something wrong with you.  This is definitely the music of an animated raceway, quite possibly a contender to be the title screen music to a Wave Race 64 sequel. Either way this track is wavy on a whole other level.

If that's not enough for you, we have assembled two astounding remixes for your pleasure. French Touch icon, LIFELIKE blesses us with a slow burning seven minute minimal masterpiece that only he could pull off. LIFELIKE's remix is then followed up by Mitch's good friend Nite Sprite, who initiates an Electro Funk meets Sugar Hill in Space groove track. This is the type of song that space station window washers turn way up on their walkmans while on the job.

With already 2 album's and 6 EP's behind him, Mitch Murder is a veteran when it comes to creating surreal retro audio canvas' and we can't wait to hear more.

Karassimeon - Discoteca Oscura [RF016]

Get it now on ritmofatale.bandcamp.com & fanlink.to/ritmofatale16

Following his initial dark tribute to French Touch ‘Nightmare Disco’, we are beyond excited to welcome Karassimeon’s first full-fledged EP ‘Discoteca Oscura’ on Ritmo Fatale. 

Karassimeon’s unique sound embodies his conflicting obsessions : disco, EBM and dystopian movie scores. 

The ‘Discoteca Oscura’ is his imaginary representation of a dark club, somewhere between Berlin and Hell, where soulless creatures dance to martial rhythms infused with italo, synthwave & disco. 

Cabaret Mortel blends acid beats, disco stabs and haunting synth bass sequences. Karassimeon’s intention was to bring cinematic tension to the dancefloor, using some of his favorite weapons : TB-303, breakbeat samples, Juno 106 & the evil Pro-One 

Messa Nera is Karassimeon’s Italo manifesto. Inspired by the early 80s sound, with some Moroder-esque touches, this track depicts a dystopian world, where dancers gather in black masses, away from the secular world. 

Rendez-vous comes from an early encounter with Claude Lelouch’s short film “C’était un rendez-vous” from 1976. This short has been an obsession for years, and the pandemic was the right context for Karassimeon : locked for days in his studio, studying his gear and listening to his favorite movie scores all day long. The track has been mostly produced with his oldest hardware : a MK1 Korg MS20 coupled with an overdriven RE-201 Space Echo, a dusty Oberheim DX, as well as his beloved Juno-106 and Solina. 

Most of all, this production is a tribute to the composers who often teamed up with Claude Lelouch, such as Francis Lai. 

And to wrap all this up, who else could illustrate this ode to the Giallo era better than the master Eric Adrian Lee ! 

The American artist is behind most of Giallo Disco’s artworks, the number one label who’s bringing this sound and imagery to the dancefloor. It’s a true honor for us to finally work with him on this particular release. Now the Giallo incantation is complete. Let the ritual begin.

On Polari 019 , Cormac welcomes Jordan Nocturne to his imprint Polari: Dolly EP Drops Digitally on October 27th. The iconic imprint is set to unleash a three-track playful force.

Jordan Nocturne on the release and meeting Cormac;

“I first encountered Cormac about 15 years ago when I was a resident at an after-hours queer party called Yello and he was a regular guest. Many years later we bonded over high energy house and disco. I thought it was a nice touch to pay homage to those times, and there's another tip of the hat to Belfast party starters Ponyhawke who have carried the mantle for diverse and inclusive dancefloors in Belfast here in 2023.  The lead track is a collaboration with a Ukrainian artist, Ready in LED and it had Polari written all over it. Olya is a superstar and I’m very excited to be working with her.”

Ready in LED who has recently released on Polari herself, has made a stellar contribution to Jordan‘s forthcoming EP, she lends her extraordinary vocal prowess to the opening track, "Over & Over," infusing it with captivating strength. As the EP unfolds, "Yello" and "Ponyhawke" follow suit, as Jordan embarks on a playful journey of reinterpreting and paying homage to the rich legacy of Hi-NRG...  more

A multifaceted artist, Marco del Bosque never ceases to amaze us ! 

With “Is This Love Enough (in Angoulême)”, a track which sounds like an anthem to the kitsch and has-been clubs of our provinces, he sets a new statement in his artistic direction. A true ode to Angoulême, rather famous for its comic book festival, Marco declares the city the new capital of Italo Disco, as a snub to the global craze around a genre that can only be copied. 

Somewhere between nostalgia and modernity, Marco combines old school drum machines, devastating basslines, airy synths, saturated guitar and uninhibited pop chorus, while having fun with clichés. A clever blend of yesteryear atmospheres and current popular music, it's without a doubt in these stereotypes that the most beautiful Italian bangers are forged !

REMIX CONTEST CDH (Chineurs de House)

🇬🇧
Far from Sweely's original minimal-acid-house signature, I have worked on some italo-trance-rave hybrid, and, as you may have noticed, subtlety has never been my forte.
I've been influenced a lot by the great Kendal (among others), but also early Trance from the 90's which has been my 'guilty pleasure' lately. See for yourself!

🇫🇷
Très loin de l'aspect minimal acid house de l'original, j'ai opté pour un hybride italo-trance-rave (appelez cette chimère comme vous le voulez) et comme vous l'aurez remarqué, je ne fais pas dans la dentelle ou la subtilité. 
Quant à mes influences, on peut citer le génial @kendal3000 (entre autres) ou encore la trance des années 'nonante' qui est dernièrement mon guilty pleasure. Jugez par vous même.
