A-side: Strangers For Love – I Don't Wanna Live Alone

B-side: Strangers For Love – Like A Libra

beautiful, bass is a little bit similar to 'je suis passee' by hard corps

Hands trembling, lip quivering; she struggled to keep her poise when he entered the room. She didn't know what had come over her, she was never like this. In fact she considered herself a cool, calm and confident person but there was something about his presence that instilled fear into her. She couldn't put her finger on what it was, but it didn't sit well with her. She felt as though she were losing control.

For their next outing Italy's Raw Culture welcome Fontaine SMC to the family: a project made up of two French artists and friends. Joined by their shared passion for electronic music, the duo have previously released several projects under other names which have often been filed under IDM and electro, but this time round they're diving deep into their love for synthwave and punk. Titled 'I Was A Soldier' the EP is a social criticism and exploration of human fears and hard relationships, voiced through a blend of EBM, raw, industrial synthesis and punkish, commanding vocals.

PREMIERE: Fontaine SMC - Another Day Another End [Raw Culture]

In 2012 Claus Fovea self released a cassette containing 10 tracks, he was at his Swedish beginnings. 9 years later we re-discovered his tape, thanks to Sam. It still sounded so true and relevant to us that we decided to release it on vinyl. Claus then reworked some tracks, scrap some, and made few new. Florin Büchel mixed them down and Andrea Merlini mastered them. The result is a picture frozen in time, in between now and then, the struggle, and sadness, that fragile construction of hope shattered as time goes by, like nothing ever change. It is indeed, as he sings, just the same song playing all the time. Over and over.

The label is delighted to welcome Kris Baha with his first 12" for Especial. After killer remixes of Sfire and Red Axes for the label, his name as an artist, with his darker take on dance music, has risen and risen.

With releases on Bahnsteig 23, CockTail d'Amore and Pinkman, Baha has become a respected artist in just a few years. Building analogue equipped studios in Melbourne and Berlin, DJing, producing and mixing have all led to atonal ear, where success came through dedication.

Following his debut album Palais, Barely Alive acts as release from these years of sweat. A call to all in this modern world, the song exemplifies a move from club music to a freedom in sound and song, as vox crash against 808 and Arp 2600. Remixes start with Timothy J Fairplay a name synonymous with Especial. Here TJF laces his trademark echoplexxed wash for a cold wave mover. Next prodigy Job Sifre builds on his acclaimed debuts with a remodel that goes straight to 'that' basement, mixing his love of electro, new wave and industrial. To close, the legend of Das Ding creates a re-alternate remix, fusing his unique fuzz with Baha's ode for a brittle finale.

A2. Barely Alive (Timothy J Fairplay Remix)

On this long-awaited debut album Patricia Kokett continues his transcendent explorations. Built around a trip to the annual Nine Emperor Gods festival on the island of Phuket, Thailand, Bizarr is the sonic end result of an immersion into Thai ritual culture. The festivities and rituals of this so-called Vegetarian festival, which aim to give health and wisdom back to the community, inspired this beautiful, ecstatic collage of music, self-illuminating Kokett in the process. In this narrative of 6 long, stretched out songs, he conjures up an electrifying sense of catharsis and transcendence. An insert gathering in-depth liner notes about the artistic vision, the travels and the concept behind Bizarr will accompany this release.

B2 Scientific Dreamz Of U - Self Assembly Of Myriad Heterostructures (Dance Mix)

Strangers For Love is a solo band project by Alessio Di Mezza, also known as @religiusorder. He sings, plays guitar and programs a bunch of synthesizers and drum machines, all in his home studio in Frosinone, Italy. The 7" is the first physical release and forms a connection between the past and the present where all his influences from punk over shoegaze to dark wave come together. While the A-side takes you on a melancholic and in hall flooded journey of self-discovery in which nothing seems to matter, the B-side lives from screaming guitars and vocals that will bring you back to the here and now. An emotional and weird trip from hate to love and just the vehicle to write your own journey.

Edition of 100 copies. Hand stamped and numbered.

Release Date: 18.09.2020.
Presale starts from 04.09.2020.
