Don't follow me, now
I can't even stand my shadow
It comes from the fault
my best friend, a fancy mate
Changing everything and losing all my life and no more dreams at all / no more

Fancy Mate

Premiere: UVB76 & Air LQD – Cypher [Vastechoses]

Minimal Wave is happy to present an LP of tracks by Belgian synthwave luminaries The Misz, entitled The Lonely Crowd. The Misz formed in Gent, Belgium in 1983 by Jan Van den Broeke and Dries Dekocker at a time when they had both just relocated from the country. They lived on the same street and collaborated freely with the limited equipment they had, which always centered around the Fostex 250 4-track tape recorder. They used an unknown monophonic synthesizer, casio synths, roland drum machines, hand drums and guitars through effects pedals, improvising with their voices and often included friends for additional voices and sounds. They captured these sonic experiments and sometimes released them on cassette (It Ain’t all Garbage, 1984 - Eddy Merckz, 1985 - Violence and Love, 1987) in very limited editions of 100-200. They were also included on numerous cassette compilations throughout the 1980s on labels like Mad In Belgium, The Cassette Factory, 3RIO Tapes, Minimart production, Fraction Studio, Cauchy Productions, Home Product, R.R. products, ZNS Tapes, and Body Records. They described themselves as young, immature and bit strange yet totally bold and fearless. They sang about what surrounded them from world politics and environmental catastrophes to love and lust. The songs on The Lonely Crowd span from various cassette releases and have been remastered from their original reel to reel tapes. The LP is pressed on 180 gram vinyl as a limited edition of 600 copies, the first 100 are in white and the remaining 500 in black. The cover and inner sleeve are printed on matte heavy card stock featuring photographic collages, typography and design by Peter Miles. Release date is April 23, 2019. Digital release to follow.

Nue Remixes: Laurel Halo / Julia Holter

Niagara (Laurel Halo "Lilith" Mix)

Tashi Wada With Yoshi Wada And Friends - Niagara (Laurel Halo "Lilith" Mix)

The ghostly ethereal band Pindrops, veiled with influences from the darker sides of post-punk and shoegaze, met 2019 with a forceful release titled Reflections on the German label Young & Cold Records. Lined with energetic rhythms and devious guitar riffs while still maintaining a palpably cold and mysterious character, the EP has brought the Vilnius trio into the spotlight as they gain momentum both in the local underground and in larger stages, supporting their biggest influences such as The Soft Moon.

"Reflections Remixes" is an endeavor to link the darkness of both post-punk and electronic music. In the Lithuanian underground scene, themes of melancholy and contemplation can be felt all throughout, regardless of whether the music is played by guitar or by a DJ in a club. This 8 track remix compilation was born out of eight local producers reimagining the music of Pindrops through their unique lenses of techno, EBM, industrial and ambient, translating the unifying factors into a more harsh, more euphoric, or a more club-based aesthetic. Varied in styles, these remixes not only reflect the emerging producers, but also serve as a reflection of our scene as a whole.
Lithuanian underground bastion Ghia is set to release "Reflections Remixes" on cassette and digitally on May 9th, first offering the energetic rendition of Geist by Ement, the burgeouning DJ and producer from Kaunas, to whypeopledance.

‘New Kind’, one of the more direct moments of dancefloor pleasure throughout Gabe Gurnsey’s acclaimed debut album, ‘Physical’, is expanded on for this digital package.

A New Kind (Extended Dub)
B New Kind (Fall Forward Dub)

The ‘Extended Dub’ stretches out the original’s tight groove in a pleasingly baggy fashion that recalls the experimental club dubs pioneered by Trevor Horn, Martin Rushent and Shep Pettibone. 

Back to the future, and enigmatic new producer Fall Forward delivers a smooth, rave tinted rework that is guaranteed to thrill the strobe-lit, sweat-drenched club crowd that inspired the original LP. An additional dub of the remix places the focus squarely on it’s clean, irresistible acid bassline.

KOLLAPS 'Mechanical Christ' CD/LP/DL/TS/LS (CSR261CD)

Australian post-industrialists KOLLAPS are a three piece creating a unique brand of primitive noise “intended for degenerates and outsiders”. The bands’ distinctive primordial tones are created using appropriated waste materials like scrap metal, raw plastics and steel plates combined with blistering percussion, bass and vocals. This is no empty “industrial” gesture, for the band this process of creation facilitates the literal use of postmodern society against itself.

‘FLESHFLOWER’ PREMIERE AT CVLT NATION: https://www.cvltnation.com/watch-this-eye-blistering-kollaps-video-fleshflower

Mechanical Christ, the bands’ sophomore release, is a conceptual continuation of its predecessor Sibling Lovers. This release sees Kollaps further their exploration of the inherent societal sickness of our times, one that manifests itself in the debasement of individual morality. Themes of exploitation, vengeance, drug addiction, paranoia and slave labour are part of a dissonant, inverted morality play. Testament to the bands’ evolving conceptual depth are the overarching themes of love, life and death that offer a sense of shared experience in the discomfort of the universal human experience. Known for their violent and nihilistic stage performances, this recording encapsulates with harsher clarity the visceral confrontation that is Kollaps’ live act.

'LOVE IS A WAR' PREMIERE AT HEATHEN HARVEST: https://heathenharvest.org/2019/04/18/timeless-struggles-in-a-postmodern-world-premiering-love-is-a-war-by-kollaps/

Mechanical Christ was recorded and mixed over a two-month period at Aviary Studios by Mike Deslandes, and mastered by James Plotkin/Plotkinworks. A journey into the desperation and lack of resolve that is both the crux of modern social ills and at the very heart of the human condition.

Azara

Premiere: Desroi - Azara [NVR02]

OUT NOW: http://lnk.to/TerrPH86

Brazilian-born, Berlin-based DJ and producer Terr makes her Phantasy debut with the sensational single, ‘Tale of Devotion’.

Arguably one of the catchiest moments in Phantasy’s musical history, Terr delivers a wide-eyed vision of sincere synth pop pleasure, backed by a sublime Prins Thomas Diskomiks.

Undoubtedly indebted to the visionary modulations of Giorgio Moroder, Phil Oakey and Wendy Carlos, ‘Tale of Devotion’ flawlessly captures the romance, ecstasy and opportunity throbbing at the heart of dancefloors for the past fifty years. No mere nostalgia trip, Terr delivers a soaring vocal performance that proves to be the warm, ambiguous heart of the track, driven by bubbling, cosmic electronics and flashes of orchestral melodrama.

Prins Thomas establishes a contrasting groove for the latest in his beloved legacy of ‘Discomiks’ reworks. Somewhat dialling in the conscious hi-NRG of the original production, the Norwegian maestro’s undulating, percussive edit places Terr’s wistful vocal journey centre stage, while branches of halcyon disco blossom around her.
