PARA TODOS AQUELLOS QUE DISFRUTAIS ENCUCHANDO EL POP DE FINALES DE LOS 80 Y PRINCIPIOS DE LOS 90

MEZCLA TEMAS MAXI POP COLLECTION

Our dream team is back in the studio for the new instalment of the Selección Natural series. This limited 10 inch vinyl comes as an advance of a full-length work to be released this autumn as PoleGroup057. 

We provide two cuts of raw and powerful techno cooked by Oscar Mulero, Exium and Reeko in Oscar’s studio in the north of Spain. Modular synthesizers, samplers and drum machines expertly crafted on behalf of this proper techno workout.

A side Split Didactics gives all the energy from the beginning, fast tempo, hard drums, obsessive sequences and a linear and hypnotic arrangement.

B side A New Description of Hell runs in similar parameters, hi speed, harsh sound design, no breaks, no pads no useless elements, just energy and purity.

As an extra bonus, artwork by the mighty Silent Servant.

Ben Sims Live @ ADE Drumcode (Awakenings Gashouder) (18.10.12)

Proud to present 'New Frontier (Director's cut)', the debut release from 'Beyond The Struttosphere' - an exciting new project from Leo Strutt (Strutt Bros) and Ben Chetwood (Flying Mojito Bros). 

Aside from the tenacious chugging bassline, the track comes laden with  reverbed Americana guitar riffs, 80s-tinged synthesizers, a dose of psychedelia and an array of galactic lasers for good measure. Strap yourselves in for a progressive locomotive journey across the cosmos.

First and foremost, we at Sinchi Collective would like to wish all our fans, followers and moral believers a “Happy New Year” and our deepest gratitude for all the support in the past years and for the years to come! 

Our introductory pick for 2020 is a compilation from the French studio addict “@Yuksek” who has redefined the realms of disco and synth-pop with his productions and through his imprint “Party fine”. His love for NewYork scene and French electronic music led him to collaborate with an array of iconic artists such as Moby, JD Samson, Gorillaz to name a few. 

This 5th chapter of an exclusive compilation containing unreleased tracks from new members such as Dimitri from Paris, Jean Tonique, Dombrance offers a smooth blend of Party fine’s aesthetic and euphoria. 

Our personal pick from this compilation is “The Other Day” by Getaroom! (@getaroomofficial) who joins forces with “Chloe" from C.A.R (@c_a_r), whose eclectic vocals transcends the realms of disco. This track is a statement that “Disco” is a subjective genre and it has always been difficult to see the boundaries of the movement and all the influences it has ever had or will have on the electronic scene. 
Release Date: 10/01/2020

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

Havantepe from Istanbul is back with his second record on 200 Records! He delivers two strong epic, deep and dubby tracks: S.I.L.A. and Guidance. Moreon & Baffa from Venezuela, now living in Barcelona, visited us last summer in Cologne for a club night. We were very happy that they offered us a remix for a next release. Their and Havantepes music are are perfect match and the tracks together represent the typical 200 sound as well as their styles.

Since 1997 Rush Hour has cultivated itself into a haven for music lovers worldwide. The reputation Rush Hour has built mainly comes from the fact that first and foremost Rush Hour focuses on music they totally believe in and have a love for. The Rush Hour family has a strong sense of pride in always working with and feeding off that impulse and faith, rather than working for the mighty dollar or bottom line. Rush Hour has always been this way.
