Voltrana is an album created by Manzur Iqbal / Futurecop! from Manchester, United Kingdom. 

This uplifting album mixes all its previous albums' sounds into one, while adding a new dimension. 

Voltrana keeps its roots by collecting Futurecop! signature "feels" of eighties, childhood memories, innocence, dreams and spiritualism. However what sets the album apart is the new additions of influences ranging from Eastern Mysticism, Zen Buddhism, Inner Universe, Meditation, Eastern 80s pop culture, Mindfulness and fundamentally letting go of the past, and living in the present, a direct opposite to previous messages of Futurecop! music, that longed for the past. 

Musically it features a mix of Futurecop!'s trademark warm and heartfelt synth sounds however this time with a lot of live acoustic instruments, orchestral aspects, a lot of guitar and post-rock influences, eastern instruments with even one of the stand out tracks recorded in a foreign language (Japanese). 

The whole concept of the album was created from the influence of discovering Ancient Eastern culture and spirituality. Zen and Taoism books such as those by Alan Watts to Chaung Tzu, to name a few. All blended together to create a new way of looking at life. Musically it is influenced by orchestral Soundtrack by Vangelis, Joe Hisaishi to Hans Zimmer and 80s Japanese pop music.

Lyrics:
Flyin’ in
straight into your embrace
It’s been a while 
Since I felt the warmth of your face

City lights, shine bright
They’ll show me the way 
Hit the road, sleep deprived
I’ll make it there someday

No matter where we go
There is a street where we call home
And everything’s gonna be alright
Chasing old dreams, 
and pieces of a memory

Strangers,
acting as lovers at night
Are you the one
I’ve been searching for, time after time

Neon lights, glow bright
They’ll show me the way
To the paradise, up high
I’ll make it there someday

No matter where we go 
there is a street where we call home
and everything’s gonna be alright
chasing old dreams and
pieces of a memory

Fantasies
Reality
It’s never what you want it to be
The tents outside they come and go
Whoa oh, we’re kids of the city

No matter where we go
There is a street where we call home
And everything’s gonna be alright
Chasing old dreams, 
and pieces of a memory
(repeat)

Kids of the City (feat. BloomToFadeStudios)

Starfarer and company set out on a monumental awe-inspiring journey through space and time filled with wonder and discovery.

To The Stars

Spanish disco dreamer James Rod is back on Paper with some superb cosmic business.  The psychedelic artwork made by Fama de America is a good indicator of what's on the EP, out there aceness!

Belong City has a classic arpeggiated bass with effected guitar, 80s synths and crashing pads as it builds with heavy atmospherics. After the break, things are stripped things back as the bass follows a new progression but the the vibe stays. This is cosmic disco at its best and if you're a fan of DJ Harvey's sets, its for you.

Manchester's own cosmonaut, Daco is drafted in behind the controls and space is the destination. Loose rhythms, analogue synths, big room atmospheres and 4am stylings make this another must-have.

Chamanes Ochenteros keeps the cosmic but is more laid-back affair. Synths and arps are in full effect as the track wears its italo influences loud and proud. Its like the best 80s theme tune you've never heard but with modern production.

Bergen's Leca gives the track the full Norwegian wobble treatment. Sub and square bass make room for the acid as reverberated styling and groove take things weird and wonderful.

Support in from:

Rahaan: "Leca's mix is nice!"

Justin Robertson: "fabulous!"

Harri: "Liking a few of these ...will play and support!"

Olle Abstract: "Nice EP. Will play out!"

Rune Lindbæk : "Top release!"

Not long after the last journey, we find our Lord in a far-off universe. The one where space and time seem to muddle. Where screams and flashes of light are considered normal.

Mémoires Of Arrakis

The Brvtalist is pleased to present The Awakening: Pestilent Expressions 3, the massive new v/a compilation from L.A.’s The Black Lodge and Texas’ Fantasy 1. This is the third and final benefit compilation of The Awakening series trilogy - over 2 hours and 27 tracks of sonic mayhem. For this volume the labels have decided to donate ALL proceeds from the sales of cassettes to the Covid-19 relief fund of The First Nations Development Institute (www.firstnations.org), along with ALL digital sales of PE3 in the month August. Please visit their website to learn about all the amazing and essential work they are doing, especially in these difficult times with the pandemic which have disproportionally affected The First Nations.

But this is not just about the pandemic, it is also about The Awakening. It is is important to understand the history that has been suppressed and kept hidden from us. We need to recognize the sacredness of the land we live and breathe on -  speak to elders, discover traditional knowledge. This is a time of reflection and a return to your source.

To mark the release, today we present Memory Clap Acid x Ben Chisholm’s “California Shame” which reunites the two artists after a long time apart for an infectious body mover which will stay with you for days. The two originally played in post-hardcore bands together and since then Memory Clap Acid has released material on Clan Destine, Up North and Junted. Chisholm is well respected for his underground productions and also plays in the band Chelsea Wolfe. 

Pestilent Expressions 3 is out now and dig deep into your pockets for this great cause. Pick up the cassette and digital on Bandcamp.

Download new album ELECTRIC HEART here: https://songwhip.com/artist/roxi-drive

80's influenced Synthpop/ Disco/ Electropop singer/ song writer

Strangers of the Night is catchy, has thoughtful song arrangements and production, and demands repeat listening.
-Vehlinggo

Run all Night is a synth heavy love letter to the 80s. Perfect for a summer mix tape.
-Neon Dystopia

With a voice born to ooze 80’s appeal, a “drive” to push the movement of synthpop by clever collaborations and lyrics that drip retro romance, Roxi Drive proves to be a contemporary contender within the scene.
-Wehavetheability

Strangers Of The Night, in my opinion, is MORE than the neon paradise it advertises.  Inside these electronic soundscapes, we have an entire city bustling with life and attitude and forward-leaning fashion.
-Original Synths

What makes Roxi Drive’s sound stand apart is her flexible mix of synthwave, electronic-pop, and synth-pop.
-Vanyaland
