It’s a strange world we’re living in and these addictive cuts mirror it well.
Dancing all night in cheerful melancholy with two strictly limited edits. 

The A-side renders gothic synth pop at cruising tempo, spinning a web of tape delay as your mind unravels. A bassline throbs, pistons hiss and a paranoia takes hold of an icy vocal. Lose yourself in the otherwhere.

We step into a pristine wilderness on the B-side, stately pads gliding over a supple rhythm section while tender chimes tug at your heartstrings. Emotion abounds on an instrumental which never was. Big boys do cry, and this dove’s weeping over broken wings…

Foule Contact is about freeing ourselves from barriers and finding ourselves together, through music in its more profound way. Going from the virtual world to real-life and connect all together in each and every one of those tracks. Foule Contact is the idea that the current atmosphere won’t last forever, and that we already expect our reunion, cradled with tenderness and all the energy accumulated over the last few months.
This compilation is about 15 eclectic and danceable tracks. Gathering a broad spectrum of genres that animate us, from House to Italo-Disco, Afro cosmic or Leftfield.

JAI, member of the Madrid-based crew Ears on Earth, brings his Protrance as a secret weapon to set ablaze any dancefloor lacking sensation.

The Person - "MAGIC $" (Hysteric's cheap infinity mix)

Ma Spaventi is a wonderfully versatile artist. Over his decade-long career, the Italian musician has turned his capable hand to everything from ambient to techno. Once again, he is expanding his sound palette and challenging expectations with Vicino Lontano.

Across eight tracks, an array of ideas and influences are explored with additional guitar work coming care of Odeon’s Michele Righini. The reflective hues of “Solitario” give way to the warming strings and peaceful brightness of “Crepuscolo.” Written and produced in Amsterdam between 2017 and 2019, beautiful memories of the past are the source of inspiration. Radiating Summer sunshine bathes “Bring Me Back” in a comforting glow, while “Velvet Lights” teases rhythm sections with thick bass lines and shimmering synth work. Moments of introspection arrive in the elegant gliding forms of “Bomber” and “Intermezzo.” The rumbling “End Line” finds harmony amongst a spread of styles, cascading chords and rich textures, all combining beautifully. A moon rise closes, the grand curtain falls on “Bidderosa”,  calling time of this stunning collection.

Taken from "Lone Saxon - Raised By The Island incl. Running Hot Remix EP (Balearic Ensemble)". Out April 07th 2023. Buy here : https://balearicensemble.bandcamp.com/album/raised-by-the-island-incl-running-hot-remix

Lazily, the tide rolls back in, caressing the shore in a single, sonorous manoeuvre. Leeds-based house producer Lone Saxon drops anchor for the first Balearic Ensemble outing of 2023, bringing shipmates Running Hot, Orchid and DJ Phidas along for some extra sea-salt remix action. Get it on…
‘Raised By The Island’ is a deeply expressive ode to the rhythms of flora & fauna, underpinned by Lone Saxon’s unique spin on the balearic beat. A medley of imaginative melodies and percussive flourishes, skilfully padded with rousing vocal samples and bass pulled from deep down low. This is certified balearic hardware; we’re loving it, you will too.
Next up Running Hot steps things up a notch, kicking and convulsing into harder territories with a massive balearic breakbeat remix wrapped around a 90s prog vocal sample. His remix goes hard on percussion, pads and carbonated b-lines, reconceiving Lone Saxon’s island anthem into late night, hands-in-the-air tackle. HUGE summer tip (viva the balearic breakbeat)!
Next up is Moscow’s edit king Orchid, who delivers an inside-out rework where acid bass snakes through the gaps left between jaunty pad stabs and spirited snare cadences. It’s a letter from a faraway place, with tales of strange beasts and creatures; a place of endless summer from where you won’t want to leave.
Finally, Klasse Wreck’s DJ Phidas takes the helm, rounding off the EP with a suave, percussion-based reimagining of Lone Saxon’s balearic sensation. The Barcelona-via-Venezuela producer’s version chugs along, eclectic and unhurried, armed with space controller gurgles, polyrhythms and pitch-stretched drum samples for a carefully constructed dancefloor warm-up. Class action by Phidias to round off what might be our favourite package yet.
Four aquatic island bangers for your USB within, all made with love!

“Greetings Sisters and Brothers...

Welcome back to the global entertainment franchise that is Birdscarer.

We return with a product of the sublime magick that is created by the alchemy of circumstance. Boy meets girl in an acid house (in this case Glasgow's Berkeley Suite), a collaboration is planned; and after a slgiht fermentation due to my procrastination and slackness, Scott Fraser and Louise Quinn's "Together More" is now in your trembling digits. Enjoy.

Birthed at the turn of the ‘80s, synth and wave music has remained a constant force over the last four decades, with a recent spike in interest in the sound offering further proof of its’ timeless, out-of-this-world quality. It’s against this backdrop that Dutch DJ Interstellar Funk presents his celebration of the style, “Artificial Dancers – Waves of Synth”.

A bumper compilation bristling with obscure and hard-to-find gems, the set sees the Artificial Dance label founder joining the dots between synthesizer and drum machine-driven tracks in a variety of subtly different styles. It’s the result of hundreds of hours spent digging through dusty old records, tapes, and the Bandcamp accounts of DIY musicians who have been active since the sound’s first boom in the early 1980s.

The 11-track set draws on tracks made and released at different times over the last 40 years, with the earliest cut committed to tape in 1978 and the most recent in 2018. While the tracks date from the ‘80s, ‘90s, noughties and 2010s, the showcased cuts are united by a primitive but futuristic quality that makes dating them difficult. In many cases, it’s hard to tell which tracks were made in the early 1980s and which were conjured up in 21st century studios.

As you’d expect, highlights are plentiful with a number of the most unknown or sought-after cuts appearing on vinyl for the first time. In this category you’ll find the Human League’s odd but inspired early number “4JG”, a near mythical 1982 live version of Liasons Dangereuses’ “Dias Cortas” (previously only available on a VHS video) and Chris and Cosey’s “Hybrid C”, a brilliant mid-’90s cut plucked from their CD-only album “Skimble Skamble”. You’ll also find a rare demo version of Clan of Xymox’s Dutch darkwave classic “Stranger”, which became a club smash across Europe in 1983.

Interstellar Funk has also chosen to showcase tracks by a range of DIY producers and lesser-known artists. These include Californian band Batang Frisco, who self-released a sole private press album in 1986 (their contribution, “Sewing Machine”, is dedicated to founder member Bill DiMichele, who passed away this year), Matthias Schuster’s Im Namen Des Volkes project – which contributes the previously unreleased 2014 track “Alles Ist Gewinn” – and Zahgurim, a short-lived early ‘80s act who reunited in 2018 to record their first new material since 1983.

If that wasn’t enough to set pulses racing, the compilation also showcases a solo track by sadly departed Psyche member Stephen Huss. Nobody is quite sure when Huss recorded “Infinity Sign”, but we can confirm this is the first time that one of his solo productions has ever appeared on vinyl.

Artificial Dancers: Waves of Synth will be released on the 31st of march as a gatefolded double LP and on all the digital platforms.

Tracklist:
1. Clan Of Xymox - Stranger (Demo)
2. Det Gylne Triangel - Maskindans
3. Zahgurim - The Living Room
4. The Human League - 4JG
5. Liaisons Dangereuses - Dias Cortas
6. Sociedades En Tetra Brik - Detector Martenot (Original Version)
7. Batang Frisco - Sewing Machine
8. Chris And Cosey - Hybrid C
9. Im Namen Des Volkes - Alles Ist Gewinn
10. Stephen Huss - Infinity Sign
11. Richard Bone - Alternate Music For The Hindenberg Lounge
