RFX Edits

After a well received 50th catalog number and the latest EP from Moo Moonster & Parissior, Berlin-based
returns with its Lost Tapes series. A 10 track album from cutting edge artists deserving your attention.
Zombies in Miami, known from their releases on Running Back & Permanent Vacation kick off this release with their debut track on AEON, which had its beginning on some improvisation during a live show. The work on it continued in studio and out came „Running Again“. A song which is guided by a heavy 303 bassline, a driving arpeggiator, a dark synth melody and pregnant cowbells.
Rigopolar is no stranger to the camp. His last release on AEON was quite a success, also being found in essential playlists such as Dixon’s Track ID on Spotify. The arrangements of his songs are quite a-typical for this Italo influenced sound and therefore makes it so special. „Into The Sun“ as well is constantly evolving with small changes, grooving and driving towards its highlights. A tune to easily get lost in it.
Upcoming Lithuanian born producer and DJ Zakmina, who’s tracks already have been released on Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondant or Future Boogie continues the journey on this album with a dreamy electro/ breakbeat influenced piece. Adding some „Kraftwerk“ sounding computer voice, „Activation“ becomes a worth debut on AEON for the 25 year old.
We are also happy to welcome Vhyce, another young gun, who already made some noise with releases on Pets Recordings and Future Disco. The characteristics of his sounds are very clear and recognizable... Still he manages that his way of ‚simple‘ also turns out ‚effective‘. „Back To Where I Never Was“ can also be seen as the introduction to a massive EP following up later this year.
Russian Zakir describes himself as a producer with „meticulous attitude to forming“ of his music, reminding „of narration of a fairy tale“. „Courier 21“ tells us a story leading us through breaks, a classic 303 bassline, topped with melodies in arabic scale.
The Mexican line up on the 4th part of this Lost Tapes completes Guadalajara based My Boy Roy, who already delivered a massive remix for Alex Niggemann’s „Rise of the Machines“ back in 2020. „Chimerical“ stands out with its classic synth/new wave drums and a dark vibe bass riff, opening up with ‚sunshine like‘ melancholic break, before dropping back into its beats.
Another intro via Lost Tapes makes Rees, owner of the eclectic ‚Paradiso’ label with his uptempo tune „Dominate The Matrix“. His upcoming EP on AEON is long awaited and will include a remix from no one less than ‚Curses’.
Italian- Venezuelan Ricardo Baez, founder „Tropical Animals“ an event series in Florence, is up next with his tune „Ricordo Micidiale“ which is Italian for a very hard and strong memory, which at the same time could be a fatal or lethal memory. "This track resumes both things“, he says. Stomping 909 toms, driving bassline and choir/vocal like atmospheres might relate to the the constant battle of thoughts within minds of artists and genius minds.
Rotterdam based Machinegewehr has already made himself a name with releases on Correspondant and Amsterdam's Bordello A Parigi. With „The Maze“ the passionate drummer delivers a dreamy Nu-Italo gem with outstanding vocoder sounds and sets the bar high for his upcoming EP on AEON.
Lost Tapes Vol. 4 ends with „Mind Slave“. A track produced by Silicodisco, that finds its inspirations though the genres of Indie Dance, Future Disco and touches of post New Wave. A laid back, melodic heavy tune that perfectly rounds up an album, the AEON family is proud to present to you.

"Whispers, moans, sweaty walls, silhouettes & sex toys. 
Welcome to the sex dungeon, you are first greeted by Maxi whole likes the whip and will want you to spank her, then by a masked figure who will finish you off, then experience dirty phone sex.
As you go deeper into the dungeon, things start to get stranger, girls ask you to put your rhino in their asses. And finally, you are greeted by the deepest and most sensual male for some outdoor sex on the balcony. The last step of the experience is a virtual reality trip going deep into the mind to blossom sexual inner emotions."

You get the gist, everyone is now hornier than ever without physical contact due to the pandemic. RFX dug deep in his record collection to pull out 6 sexually filled reworks to show you that there is a fine line between porno and music sometimes. 
Some of the lyrics even had to be censured... yeah we know it doesn't sound like it, but fuck it, sex is way too taboo already. Let your inner sexual beast out.

INCOMING : Chinaski - Energy 2 #DischiAutunno

Release date : 2021-06-25

Buy : https://dischiautunno.bandcamp.com/album/energy

With the robotic excellence of ‘Blood Patch’, from our ‘Intermezzo Uno’ compilation, still popping moves on our eardrums, German producer and longtime Dischi Autunno family member, CHINASKI, returns to the fold with ‘Energy.’

A much needed shot of laser-focussed dancefloor vitality that bursts from the speakers with its retro touch and modern verve, the synth-laden double-salvo is lead by the galaxy hopping Energy 1, and backed by the cinematic disco drive of Energy 2.

Dischi goes double-Dutch on the remixes with DJ Overdose stripping the gloss from Energy 1 with his warehouse breaks revision, before modular mistress Nadia Struiwigh taps into, and expands upon, the feels of Energy 2 to create a sublime and ethereal new soundscape.

INCOMING : Chinaski - Energy 2 #DischiAutunno

“Mayday Mayday, the end of the world is near, nuclear bombs are hitting the world after the pandemic created the feared World War III. Life is hard and only bunkers are safe places to hide away and party in peace.”

Sweat and more sweat in this bunker edition. The vibe thrown off by these edits and rework are vintage military movies from the 80’s & 90’s. RFX worked on three edits with some heavy celestial aspect and punchy drum machines to be played in revolutionary parties that will come in the next years. Jackit went for a retro downtempo FM vibe with mesmerising drum works and hard breaks with flutes so that you feel in Vietnam.

You know the drill now, all Extinct Melodies are only available for 8 days from the release date, then they move forever in the Top Cat Membership program! So you have from the 28th of July till the 4th of August to grab this rare beauty.

In the past two years, Bavarian born and now Berlin based producer Jakob Häglsperger has been highly active under the moniker of Kalipo. After a series of remixes and contributions to compilations released by Stiff Little Spinners, a subdivision of the (in)famous Audiolith imprint, he now presents his debut album Yaruto. Häglsperger, who has been making music from his early teens on and has since immersed himself in Hip Hop, Downbeat, Techno and avantgarde music, opts for an experimental approach, hoping to achieve a timeless sound. »What matters most to me is finding my own musical language, a sound that won’t lose its spark.« Yaruto can be enjoyed on a hazy Sunday afternoon at home on your couch, but will also increase your endorphins on a Saturday night at a club.

Yaruto is as much the product of hard work as it is a result of critical self-evaluation and occasional serendipity. »When I’m in the studio for six days in a row, I spend at least five of them feeling depressed because nothing seems to work out. I go for those four magic minutes in which everything suddenly falls into its place.« After toying with a variety of samples, Häglsperger usually creates patterns and takes them to the studio to flesh out the rough drafts with his wide array of analogue synthesizers and, occasionally, instruments like a Rhodes piano, a metallophone or guitars. Vocal samples are being chopped up and rearranged by Häglsperger until the syllables develop a life of their own and eventually create the abstract narrative that makes up the thematic backbone of this otherwise intuitively written record. From the opener »Embryo« and the track that gave the album its name through to the final track »Cloud Dancing II«, Yaruto follows what you might call an impersonal biography by creating moods that correspond with certain stages of life, constantly commented on by disembodied voices.

Yaruto will be released on Antime, the Berlin based label run by Martin Steer with whom Hägelsperger shares production duties in the German Electro Punk outfit Frittenbude. »Antime was an obvious choice, because Martin fully trusts me and my creative instinct. Thus, I can experiment as much as I want to and don’t have to compromise even though my music might not have a mass appeal«, says Hägslperger, who has also relocated to the German capitol a few years back, with regard to the hypnotic, Gamelan-influenced rhythms on tracks like »Listen To You« and subtle nods to composers like Steve Reich whose Music For 18 Musicians Häglsperger cites in »Get Rich«.

Despite being his own most critical judge, Häglsperger, who in his energetic live sets uses only analogue hardware, has worked on the album almost completely autonomous and also contributed to the album’s artwork. As his first hobby turned into a fulltime job, Häglsperger decided he was in urgent need of a second one and resorted to analogue photography. Some of his pictures made their way into the artwork which was taken care of by Antime’s in-house graphic designers Johann Steer and Helga Stierle. 
Yaruto has been in the works for more than a year while Häglsperger was producing albums for the likes of Fuck Art, Let’s Dance and others and will be followed by a series of digital releases as well as music videos on which he is currently working on.
