Fists clenched, brow furrowed, he bit his bottom lip to stop him shouting the myriad of profanities the swirled around his head. Everyone that knew him well would describe him as having a calm temperament; a level-headed individual who approached situations with composure and coolness, but this time his patience was tested like never before. He felt as if his head were about to explode; if he were in a cartoon smoke would be firing out of his ears and the shrill whistle of a kettle boiling would resound around the place. Steadying his breath he brought himself back down to solid ground, he hoped that would be the first and the last time his calm exterior would be shattered.

In the world of psychedelic, punk-tinged electronic music, Duro Records boss Theus Mago and Ombra International founder Curses are prolific producers in their own right, so when the pair come together you know that sparks are guaranteed to fly. Linking up at the beginning of the pandemic, the duo set out to create a collection of music that would transport them back to the recently closed clubs. Fusing elements of new beat, punk, dub and dark club music, 'Antídoto', which finds a home on Optimo Music Recordings, is packed with fuel to ignite the dance floor.

PREMIERE: Theus Mago & Curses - Testaroj [Optimo Music Recordings]

Dj and producer from Rome, half of the italian duo Tiger & Woods the man himself Valerio Del Prete aka Delphi lands on Raibano Records with his ep "Take Me".
Once again Delphi delivers two authentic dancefloor gems packed up with samples from 80's, acid arpeggios and wonderful disco vibes that perfectly fit in the sound of Raibano Records and surely ready to make you sweat.

We would like to start today’s premiere congratulating our friends of the solid Mexican label Bonkers for their anniversary. Great job, lads! As usual, the occasion will be celebrated with some mezcal shots and a compilation: “Year IV” brings together a rich tapestry of sonorities provided with love by acclaimed and rising names of the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene: Sobek, Colossio (SXDNS025) Feat. Animales Nocturnos, Ludviq & Radial Gaze, Moisees & ZEA, ID_UA (SXDNS229), and Oblako Maranta spared no efforts to deliver powerful and well-constructed cuts, successfully raising the bar of the jubilant release.

Premiered here, ID_UA’s contribution is a must-have! Kyiv-based Igor Dyeyev, even facing the atrocities of a war in his country, allows himself to escape to a safe haven that is his creative mind when producing in order to keep fighting the good fight: Bringing to life his own interpretation of high-quality dance-floor-oriented music. And he fails to disappoint! In “Crucial Moment”, the throbbing bassline, arpeggiated synth layers, ominous lead, and acid gait he came up with set the mood of one of the highlights of the VA.

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

Follow @id_ua and @bonkersrecs, peeps!

PREMIERE418 // ID_UA - Crucial Moment

We’ve all experienced this feeling of awakening after a party, with a foggy mind, a pasty mouth, and hardly any memory of what happened the night before. Sometimes you don’t even know what is that place you just woke up in. But one thing is for sure, you had a blast last night !

With “Penser Avec Ses Pieds”, Myrddin and Alassë put some words and melodies on this peculiar feeling of awakening. Sounding like an homage to the glorious days of Chagrin d’Amour, or some other ephemeral French new wave projects, this track takes us back to the mild days of the 80s, when you could just sing about dancing, and cigarette smoking.

This one comes in 3 versions, so everyone can find his favorite one. The italo vocal mix is carried by Alassë’s voice, almost in a spoken word way, recalling the mood of the classic 80s french hit “Chacun fait (c'qui lui plaît)”. The dark mix takes a more rock and cold wave turn, but still tells the same story. And for those who don’t like vocals in their italo, we got you covered with the instrumental mix !

Ulla Records is back with another VA : « Shifted Frequencies ». For our two years anniversary we wanted to treat you with something special, our first physical release, on vinyl !

Now you know our mojo : to explore that 80s inspired, wonky disco sound, in all its shapes and forms ! From Italo to acid, EBM or New Wave, we wanted to showcase some of the multiple facets of the label, our interpretation of these « Shifted Frequencies ». Between France, Italy, UK & Germany, we gathered a fine selection of talented artists, a mix of familiar faces and new encounters.

We’re thrilled to welcome Younger Than Me and REES for the first time on the label, and equally so to have Alberto Melloni back with us, alongside label founders Austher and Naranja. All together, they captured some fragments of our shifted frequencies.

This one's for you dancers !

Younger Than Me - Don't Fly With The Elephants [ULLA008]

No one day was the same since they'd upped sticks and moved to the city. It had been an adjustment in the beginning but soon they'd slotted into urban life like the years spent in the countryside had never even existed. The hustle and bustle; the never-ending list of things to see and do; any food you want at your fingertips; the freedom to be exactly who you want to be without any judgment - they could no longer imagine themselves anywhere else but here... 

Robi Insinna is gearing up for the release of a brand new album under his Headman alias. In the lead up to the release he's releasing a number of singles with his signature dub versions and remixes from friends and affiliates. The third track to be released is a homage to his love of the 90s, blending elements of Indie and electronica and calling on the vocal stylings of Mexican DJ and producer Vongold to complete the track. On top of the original and the dub, the EP comes with a remix from Leipzig trio New Hook and another track titled 'Live120'.

Alvaro Cabana, long time established producer and Rotten City Records founder teams up with latin american artist Balam, Mijo, Fargo Deviati, Julian Sanza & LaFrench Toast to present his Psicoactive EP on Kaputt.wav.

Affaire Tropical made with Argentinian mastermind Balam, blends the strident rhythm and synths of Alvaro with the melting trippiness of Balam, followed by Fargo Devianti, up and coming producer from Mexico which has already done a name by himself while also counting with Mijo who coined the name od Tech Mex long time ago, Ritual De Lo Habitual it’s just what anyone could expect, a peak hour transient trance. Slowing down a bit, Alvaro Cabana & Julian Sanza, which are already known in Kaputt.wav as a winning team showcases in Second Hand Mirrors why. And last but now least, Alvaro teams up with a long time DJ and producer from Colombia called LaFrench Toast with “Mazmorra” a driven, synthfreak anthem for the dance room.

Tracklist:

Alvaro Cabana & Balam - Affaire Tropical
Alvaro Cabana, Fargo Devianti & Mijo - Ritual De Lo Habitual
