You are fucking epic! Come stateside! We’ll make it an epic party!

After some works on Disco Halal, Spinnup or Rotten City (@rotten-city-records) with his track 'Cube' (included on the last Rotten Citizens Compilation), young Tel-Avivian producer Marko East (@markoeast) comes back to the label, this time with a mighty EP full of acid and rave flavors, clearly focused on the dance floor.

'Kinda happy, Sorta Sad' is the very first track he did by himself, after working for a couple years with a partner in an electronic duo.
As the title says, the track is about how we sometimes feel living in this weird world, combining influences from 80s beats and rock attitude with the vocals.

'DIG' is also one of his first tracks, with a very 'Telavivian' vibe. The beat brings some Trance and Rave elements, on a fat kick and bass, definitely club oriented. That was his intention, creating something that would make him dance at home during the first lockdown.

The release is completed with remixes from Swedish 'Trampoliner' duo Elfenberg and Playground Records co-funder Kuunde, both to the track 'Kinda Happy, Sorta Sad'. The first one with a wicked uptempo peak time bomb and the other one with his unmistakable bass line & grooves.

Kinda Happy, Sorta Sad EP

Marko East - DIG [Rotten City]

The week had gone from bad to worse; he felt like a magnet for catastrophe. He hoped it would be confined to either work or life but the setbacks and mistakes managed to seep into both areas; worsening day-by-day. But it was yesterday's blunder that cemented the impending crash. When the email arrived from his boss, he knew it was marching orders.

Next month marks the release of 'Life Of Mammals', Museum Of Love's long-awaited follow up to 2014's self-titled LP. The project of LCD Soundsystem drummer Pat Mahoney and DFA affiliate Dennis McNan AKA Jee Day, the pair have been teasing tracks from the forthcoming release on Skint Records, including the recently shared 'Marching Orders' which comes complete with two remixes courtesy of Tel Aviv-based producers Red Axes who gear the track towards the dance floor with a vocal version and a dub mix.

Red Axes make a triumphant return to Phantasy with a further trio of expertly-crafted leftfield club tracks. Having produced several of the label’s best-loved club moments such as ‘Sipoor’ and ‘Sound Test’, the Israeli duo easily surpass their charismatic reputation across ‘Some Lights’.

‘Some Lights’ stomps forward to reveal the footprints of a rave giant, yet, even Red Axes at their most anthemic unfold the unexpected. Bleary-eyed chords stretch wistfully into the far-distance, as a male voice compounds the mood; “Sunrise”. Suddenly, the Axes pull the rug and reveal the howling club wolf hidden behind the sheep’s dress code, plunging dancers into a heavy trip of vintage rave chords and EBM-drum play.

The more psychedelically inclined will meanwhile find plenty to embrace in the wide, kaleidoscopic canyons of ‘Skulls’, a deeper-still groove machine that conjures up images of untamed sonic plains, Morricone-esque chords unexpectedly synthesised with psychobilin. Finally, ‘Professor Grasstov’ finds the duo loosening up into more playful form still, dragging the good name of this notable academic on a loose, breaks'y trip full of baggy energy (and complete with audible liquid experiments).

Following their hugely well-received, refreshingly outlandish debut EP for Phantasy, Israeli club outsiders Red Axes return to the label with another three-track delight of leftfield dance entitled ‘Sound Test’.

Debuting on Phantasy in 2018, ‘Sipoor’ by Red Axes was massive. The release received critical acclaim, not to mention heavy support within the club realm from DJs like Call Super, Jennifer Cardini, Ewan Pearson, Fort Romeau, Massimiliano Pagliara, Chloe, and many more.

Highly soughtafter by those who’ve heard Erol Alkan unleash it in recent months, ‘Sound Test’ kickstarts Phantasy Sound’s 2019 - a rolling tool for a dance floor sliding into another dimension, constructed around a dramatic, numeric countdown. A minimal, skeletal build builds (and builds!) throughout to one of the most out-there breakdowns in recent rave-blotted memory, as the Axes slowly but surely rebuild their house to even more outlandish new proportions. Ten, nine, eight, seven...

‘Shabak Shalom’ quickly snatches the record back from outer space and drags it deep into the basement, zoning in on the gritter, strobe-ready sound that defines the duo’s most club-ready work. All of the Axes’ weapons of choice are deployed as unusually as per usual; militant drums, battered electronics, fucked- frequencies, wiry post-punk guitar lines and lovingly drowned traditional instruments blend to create their own special, slightly-menacing interpretation of hi-NRG.

Finally, on the unapologetically sprawling and immediately effective closing number, ‘Kookoo Papa’, Red Axes demonstrate their inherent talent, if proof were ever needed, of conjuring rolling, simmering tension in otherworldly shades. Those who enjoyed the cartoonish motor FX of ‘Teroof’ will be delighted to find themselves found into an even wackier race this time round, hitting on the origins of Chicago jack, acid meltdowns and screeching no-wave.

Del Fierro Strikes Back

INCOMING : Niv Ast & Eliezer - Burning Down the Club (feat ALF CHAMPION) #NewDayEveryDay

Âme’s Frank Wiedemann calls up friends and family for remix duties on 9 tracks from the back catalogue of his eclectic label, Bigamo Musik, reaching for some of the most respected names in electronic music to dig into the archives.

The first 3 tracks form the first of a trio of remix EP's, with Red Axes, Sado V and Dengue Dengue Dengue taking their talents to tracks from Keope and Abrão.

Tel Aviv power pair Red Axes are no stranger to Abrão’s work, with the latter’s vocals featuring on their 2014 release ‘Kicks Out of You’. The familiarity shows itself in the Israeli duo’s careful rearranging of “Aguas sagradas do Ganges” into a sundowner-set beauty, opening the track up to the dancefloor whilst preserving the original’s measured approach and plaintive vocals.

Tracklist:
Abrão – Too late to Ganges (Red Axes Remix)
Abrão – Tudo Bom (Sado V Remix)
Keope – Notturno (Dengue Dengue Dengue Remix)
