Change It

Is it the voices in your head
Keeping you in bed
Run me off the road again
You’re leaving me for dead
With every word you keep unsaid
I throw my cards on the table
I mean what did you expect
I said I was able

But it’s no easier to be alone
I want you here, I needed you to (know)
No it don’t go the way that we planned it
But who the hell cares? Why does it matter?
The way we appear is not up to
All of the fears that they share
It all becomes clear that
Through all uncertainty 
I’d rather be

Is it the choices that you’ve left
Dripping in regret
Check the mirror's reflection
But don’t recognize yourself
With every version you present 
It’s so far off away from 
Your original intent
But still you were able

But it’s no easier to be alone
I want you here, I needed you to (know)
No it don’t go the way that we planned it
But who the hell cares? Why does it matter?
The way we appear is not up to
All of the fears that they share
It all becomes clear that
Through all uncertainty 
I’d rather be

Look me in the eyes
And tell me this ain’t paradise
When you hold me at your side
I feel like there are no lies

But it’s no easier to be alone
I want you here, I needed you to (know)
No it don’t go the way that we planned it
But who the hell cares? Why does it matter?
The way we appear is not up to
All of the fears that they share
It all becomes clear that
Through all uncertainty 
I’d rather be

Our premier today is the original mix of Fantasies and it's packed full of summer feel good disco vibes with French duo Louisett delivering a vocal which simply exudes joy, something we all need a fix of right now.

Last of the wine

Last Of The Wine

Sounding simultaneously from the past, the present, and the future, the debut album 'MLDE' by Marxist Love Disco Ensemble seeks to eradicate both the trite from disco and the sobriety from political music. Half poetic, half tongue-in-cheek, this stunning compact eight-track album is influenced by Eastern European and Mediterranean 70s disco records. In the words of band member Paolo, ''it was written in response to hearing 'I love America' by Patrick Juvet. The song prompted the question: why does disco, a genre originally created by oppressed minorities, eventually become synonymous with Western capitalist excess?" MLDE seeks to break this connection.

Merging disco, post-disco 80s pop, and boogie into the fold, 'MLDE' was recorded using only analogue instruments, giving it warmth and space. Recorded on cassette, ½ inch tape, this gives moments of lo-fi abstraction between the beats of an aggressive, tight drum kit. Instruments used for this recording range from saxophone, trumpet, harpsichord, guitar, and rare analogue synthesisers. The bass sound is shaped by early 80s boogie records, whilst the influence of artists such as Hamlet Minassian can be heard in some of MLDE's more driving-disco outings, such as 'Hues of Red'. In the tradition of Soviet vocal group records, which the band has studied, some songs are sung by a vocal quartet in homage to this tradition. 

Tracks such as '1905' and 'Brumaire' have a greater pop aesthetic, with Paolo's vocal style on these more pop-driven songs evoking early 80s bands such as Orange Juice and Chas Jankel. 

The format and message of pop and disco are commonly viewed just to entertain and move bodies around a dancefloor; however, lyrically, the subjects range from dialectical and historical materialism, class struggle, Marxist theory and praxis, as well as the concept of Marxist disco music. 

Adding the icing to the cake, mastering don Joker aka Liam McLean dusted the album with his magic, giving the songs space where the room is needed, as well as the kick and punch demanded by the modern dancefloor.

Momentum captures the moment after silence, the movement that never stopped, only refined.
Each track is built with precision and restraint: deep house, melodic techno, and the pulse of late nights that never needed words.
Bardoq returns in full form, darker, cleaner, and fully in control.
Nothing left to prove. Just motion.
