Artist: Franco Falsini @sensations-fix
Track: Zolle
Title: Freedom In A Dark Age
Label: Baffling Noise @seekershome

Seekers sub-label Baffling Noise returns with a new 4-tracker from Italian veteran Franco Falsini. A man who started out doing prog rock in the 1970s (as a member of Sensations’ Fix) and then made the proto-house classic ‘Feels Good’ in 1982 (as Electra, famously sampled by Jamie Principle), Falsini then spent the next two decades putting on raves, festivals and street parties – first spearheading the rave movement with his live outfit Open Spaces and label Interactive Test, after which he delved deeply into psytrance. In recent years, his music has found a home within the modern dancefloor community, with DJs playing tracks from Interactive Test and labels repressing his music. We even featured him in our Say What article Sleepers: Unlocking The Unknown with Franco Falsini in 2018.

On this EP, he and Seekers introduce a new era for his sound. Recorded during lockdown last year, these are new tracks which don’t exactly fit with either the prog rock days, or the bubbly Italian 90s house, or with the sense-sational sounds of psytrance, though remnants of these past lives do make their presence felt. In fact, in line with other veteran producers (such as the late Richard H Kirk when he revived Cabaret Voltaire in 2020 with the masterpiece Shadow Of Fear), Falsini curates a mature sound, quite experimental, which will still appeal to today’s fans. 

The EP reflects also the pandemic mood, and not by following the now-expected downtempo feel. The beats can be slow or fast, but either way he has the dancefloor within him. Track titles like ‘Freedom In A Dark Age’ symbolise music as a medicine or form of escapism during dark times. All of the tracks are unique and interesting, showing him stretching out with tripping, harmonically-intriguing rollers, our favourite of which is the funky, flip-flopping ‘Zolle’. Irresistible, perfect for the dance, and with plenty of attitude. 

83 years old this year, Falsini continues to show his dedication for dance music and we salute him!

AR002: Simic - Changing Conditions EP

Artist: F. Free & H. Hand
Title: Headwash
Label: Hot Plates
Cat No: HOTONES001
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. Headwash
B1. After All
B2. J.S.B. #2 

“F. Free & H. Hand take control of HOTONES001, with a reissue of a not just rare but colossally fabled record that only ever made it to test press in 1995. Ten copies were produced of this three-track excursion into the analogue heavy echelons of a deranged technosphere. 

‘Headwash’ shudders through your body like electricity, off-kilter bleeps miraculously balancing the composition, while a menacing bassline inflates your lower body, and some. ‘After All’ drops the pace, employing the iconic Ensoniq DP-4 to create moist, meandering patterns that epitomise the 90s hedonistic German subculture in which the record was developed. The record’s finale, ‘J.S.B #2’ is the most ruckus cut of the lot, playing with heavy leads, synesthesia inducing scenes of strobe lights are inevitable - pair the two, and you have outright carnage. 

This is music for smoked out, fast and long raves. Do not sleep.”

We're delighted to present @Eversines new album on ninih. "Dwang" brings together his most personal work thus far, this record being Remco's outlet to process and make sense of difficult experiences. Unsurprisingly, this results in an exploration into a darker, trancier side of his musical spectrum. 

The two of us having developed a deep bond over the years is clearly reflected in how this album came together. It's the third collaboration between the two of us, of which many more to come! ❤️

The 'Dwang' album will have 500 copies pressed and is out 20th of April at your fav record web/store.
