Solipsism is an archival release of music from https://soundcloud.com/mike-simonetti 's tenure as owner of Italians Do It Better Records, spanning from 2006-2013. During that time Mike wrote a lot of music. Some of it was used for films, some for TV commercials, some for fashion shows and he even released a record or two.

Influenced by the intersection of 80's arena rock bands like AC/DC and Judas Priest, glam rock/dance bands like Rockets and Supermax, and especially the underground Italian producer Piero Umiliani - the album is chock-full of atmospheric rock-inspired arpeggiated riffs. The mixture of metal and chugging dance music makes for a unique listening experience. Every song has a riff, every song is heavy and dense. Only one song goes above 118 BPM. These are heavy chuggers that make for a tense emotional experience that exceeds your standard, easy-to-write-off “soundtrack” fare, mainly because it was never written with that in mind. It was meant to be a fist-pumping arena rock inspired thumper! You can hear that in the one two punch of “A Prayer For War” into “Illusions", which is an outtake from his "The Magician" sessions. Other songs like “Solipsism” showcase the airy melodies of that were to come with his other project Pale Blue, but that is not typical on this album. If you listen closely, you can hear how Simonetti’s music and dark vibes inspired his then label partner Johnny Jewel to take his own bands Chromatics and Glass Candy in a different, more cinematic direction.

This was written and recorded years before the Drive soundtrack and all the hoopla around the sudden soundtrack resurgence. In 2011 Mike was asked to submit some songs for a soon to be released Hollywood remake. He submitted most of the songs from this album, and they were slated for release on the soundtrack, but the project fell apart, and the film went in a different direction and changed producers. Soon after, because of all the drama and foolishness, he left Italians Do It Better to start over with 2MR and Pale Blue. This is the nail in the coffin. Godspeed.

B2 - Simple Symmetry - Best Ice Cream In Guwahati [Marvin & Guy Afterhour Mix]

It’s been two years since Stefan Z last released on this label, but the three tracks he serves up prove the wait has been more than worth it.

The Berlin based Canadian is the boss of the Rhombus label and is a top electronic production talent. He makes his sounds stand out with slick vocals or moving melodic elements, most likely because of his formally trained piano and trumpet playing skills. He’s had support from the likes of Sasha, Solomun and Adriatique, and his label parties in Vancouver were key in developing the city’s underground scene.

The super title track goes first and is a freaky number with spacecraft circling the groove, building tension in the melodic riffs and futurism in the drums. It’s a dramatic track with heavy, lumpy kicks and one to jolt the floor into action.

‘Borni’ is another long and involving tune, this time with more mystery and suspense in the way it builds. The drums get you marching as synths and ghoulish motifs pan about to creepy effect. It’s a real set building track that keeps you on edge.

Lastly, ‘Cipe’ is the toughest of the lot, with stiff hits and withering cosmic chords speaking of an intergalactic war. Underpinned by warm bass, it’s a widescreen cinematic affair with real beauty in the pads that eventually take over the show.

All three tracks here are mini epics that really take you on a trip.

New Jersey veteran Mike Simonetti has had his hands in a lot of projects over the years, but 'Solipsism' finds the 2MR co-founder and Pale Blue member looking back at music he made between 2006 and 2013 when he was running the Italians Do It Better label. Full of woozy melodies and synthy chuggers, the album is due to arrive on September 28, but ahead of that we debuted the LP's energetic title track on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Mike Simonetti "Solipsism" [First Floor Premiere]

Exclusive Mike Simonetti 'The Edge'

Jersey tastemaker, 2MR label head and part of electronic duo Pale Blue Mike Simonetti drops his album 'Solipsism', a collection of music that was written between 2006 and 2013 and depicts the artist's musical reflection and retrospect of that time. The album's opening track, 'The Edge', is a slow synths-influenced take that, of course and in best Simonetti style, includes memorable riffs. A dark chord marks 'The Edge's' beginning and is enriched with a spoken vocal in French and piano chords and make it hard for the listener to escape from Simonetti's created atmosphere. And just as you think 'The Edge's' story has been told a downtempo bass line sets in that raises the melancholia of the track to another level and to the next track.

Mike Simonetti's album 'Solipsism' is released September 28th, 2018 on 2MR.
