Rafael Cohen aka Los Latidos was born in Mexico City to Guatemalan parents. He grew up in the DC punk scene, and released records on Dischord and Touch and Go. He has also played and recorded with jazz legend Anthony Braxton. 

Currently he tours the world and writes songs as a member of Warp Records mainstays !!! and has written and recorded a collection of more intimate songs in Spanish under the name Las Palabras.

This is his second release as Los Latidos and his first for Throne of Blood. His previous release, on Jun Records was described as “a feast of acid squelches, breakbeats and house kicks” by Resident Advisor. “Please Believe Me” is built on the same foundations but expands the palate somewhat with acoustic guitars and field recordings. 

The vibe is warm and hypnotic, recalling the breezy vibes of old school Throne of Blood artists Cosmic Kids. With three jams that range from low slung acid grooves to gently jacking house underpinned by a hands in the air bassline, Los Latidos has delivered a soundtrack to summer dusks and dawns.

All tracks mixed and mastered by the one and only Justin Vandervolgen.

Adding to e’s club-oriented Y-series is a 3-track E.P by French producer, Jader Toya: Amartya/Pompeï. Jader Toya’s contribution to the Y-Series results in its most off-kilter release yet: A club music offering with influences from all over the globe mixed with a healthy dose of deconstructed structures. Futuristic synth lines, robotic vocal chops and chaotic rhythms are the main ingredients used by Jader Toya to cook up this lethal concoction.
The E.P starts by getting straight into it with Amartya, a title that seems to reflect the Oriental-sounding vocals found all over this track, a banger that starts off with a more minimal syncopated drum line but uses ominous melodies to progress the track. The track Pompeï continues its predecessor’s tradition with a more melodic approach with the rhythmic side taking the backseat. The final track of the E.P, a stripped-back dub version of Pompeï, reverses this approach with the melodies being used sparsely which lets Jader Toya’s chaotic approach to rhythm shine more. This dark deconstructed approach to club music proves to be a nice addition to the Y-series’ eclectic identity

Description
Let’s welcome a new collaboration by the Tiger Club team. This time Michael and Jens teamed up with Graziano and G.J. Lunghi; artists that have been collaborating with Flashback just recently. A new track “Star” has a relaxed “Italo groove” with perfect Italo lead vocals by Graziano. The chorus has been built up to be a kind of duet of a male and female voices and that’s where Gabriella comes in.

The A side has the Original Mix by Tiger Club and from the B-side you can find the Flashback Remix by Juan Segundo; the sound engineer behind Graziano’s previous single “Toward The Light”.

Special mention for the authentic early 80s styled Italo cover graphics to Jens.

Italo-Trance 2: The Electric Boogaloo! 
Just kiddin'. In celebration of 9K Youtube subscribers and, since you liked the first one so much, here's my second #ItaloTrance mix. I still enjoy this "genre" so much and lately I've been listening and playing it on parties much more than synthwave, so I plan to continue doing these, for now :)

Featuring tracks by @parissior @barko @iamtallac @mildperil @starion @francisco65815 @austhermusic @mrbutterflies @mat_brandski @tjor00 @betamaxx @fm-attack @atmossmusic @amarcordmusic @ubreblanca @southofmouth @cursesforever @cyrkmusic @cyda_music @derkin-413275977 @leitstrahl @pantheradiscoclub @damon-jee @softcrash-music

DISCLAIMER: #ItaloTrance is not an actual genre name, although I've seen some artists/labels using #ItaloTrance tag to promote their releases. But, in a world where the boundaries between various electronic music genres are becoming less clear every year, where there's a "new" electronic music genre every couple of years or less, I think that #ItaloTrance is something that we deserve and need. Even if not an actual genre name (yet?), #ItaloTrance is definitely a feeling!
