Electro, disco-chic, doused in gooey pop, sultry silk, and retro synth-boogie. Dekmantel welcomes the good time vibes of Canadian selector, and retrotastic, vibe-poppin’ producer Jex Opolis. Cult figure, obsessive Discog-er and Good Timin’ boss, the Brooklyn-based, Canadian has etched out a global reputation with his exotic taste of lo-fi, party productions, with this — his Dekmantel debut — not straying far from the formula. On Earth Boy, the hit making powerhouse turns up the synth furore to maximum, with electro and Italo all blending together, in a powerful melee of beachtime house, and crushing sunset disco. Leftfield soul that’s not just for the diggers, and the perfect introduction for his summertime debut at Dekmantel’s galant showcase festival in Amsterdam later on this summer. 

Title track 'Earth Boy' pays homage to the classic electro of the early 80s, with its 123bpm rolling breaks, and throbbing synth basslines. It’s as if Drexciya has a disco-baby with Spacer Woman. With its cliquey stomps and robot pulses, and nods to the wave-style records that empties so many of Jex’s sets, 'Earth Boy' is classic future disco. 'Desolation' is bridled with greater depth and emotion, with Italo-pomp and a certain rhythms digitales flare. Braver souls may embrace the vocal mix when it comes to playing out, with its compassionate overtones and soft celled-bassline. Its time to brush aside the winter hue, and say hello to those good-time blues, and frolic along to the jetset, neo-Balaeric house stylings of Jex Opolis.

PREMIERE: J Wax - Uber [Unit Two Records]

Since the back end of 2018, our buddy Cooper Saver has noticeably been picking up the pace of his studio output - and we thank him for it. Following a well-received string of remixes for The Golden Filter, Perel and Benjamin Fröhlich, the Los Angeles-based DJ and producer, responsible for the Far Away party and cassette mixtape series, sets another milestone step in the right direction with the release of his debut EP via pioneering, Munich-based record label Permanent Vacation.

The package is a collection of tracks Cooper produced over the last year or so, at home in LA, aimed towards late night dance floors with an injection of California sunshine. Close friend and local hometown hero Indra Dunis of Peaking Lights was summoned for vocal duty on "The Search", rounding off the package into a futuristic brew of dance floor igniting material.

Premiere: Cooper Saver ft. Indra Dunis - The Search (Vocal Dub Mix) [Permanent Vacation]

Last Gas Station aka La.Ga.Sta. turns 10 this year, and celebrates its tunefully inspirational road trips through all these years in a very special way. They (Vangelis and Vaios) invited some of their favourite artists and producers, who have been part of LAGASTA’s family all these years, to choose a best-loved song of theirs, and make a cover version of it for a new anniversary compilation. The outcome is an exceptional ….track compilation that brings the most deserving music to the surface, from George Michael to Siouxsie and the Banshees and from Pet Shop Boys to Blood Orange. It’s a fusion of different decades and music styles.
LAGASTA’s 10 years anniversary compilation drops on May 6th as a free download, with artwork by one of the most exciting graphic designers today, Portugal-born, NYC-based  Bráulio Amado.
Munich’s Benjamin Fröhlich, co-founder of the ever-excellent Permanent Vacation imprint and a great producer and DJ, has been part of LAGASTA since the very first days, with some of LAGASTA’s most beloved tracks being released in his label. For the compilation he serves his version on a track that was a big inspiration for him through the years; the 1981 “How Much Are They”, an 80s anthem from Jah Wobble/Jaki Liebezeit/Holger Czukay, taken from their collaborative album “Full Circle” that was released back in 1982. A true masterpiece.
Can’t wait for the rest to come!

Timothy Clerkin - Unborn
Out 24th May 2019

Label linchpin @timothyclerkin returns to Ransom Note Records with the 'Unborn' EP, home to four brand spanking new rave bangers!

The first track to be unleashed is ‘Primary Function’, which sounds like a dubbed-out Boards of Canada on a particularly warped mushroom trip.

Timothy’s music has brought us many special moments over the past few summers and seems bound to do so again, with the new EP already getting played by the likes of Optimo, Lena Willikens and Andrew Weatherall.

After cutting his teeth as one half of Eskimo Twins, Clerkin launched his solo career in 2014 under the now-retired Heretic moniker. Having released on labels including Throne of Blood, Hard Fist and Tusk Wax, he’s since graduated to running his own Insult To Injury imprint from his new base in Amsterdam.

Timothy Clerkin - Primary Function

@AndrewClaristidge teams up once again with the mysterious @Workerpoor for a new EP on the eclectic @NightNoiseMusic label. The release was written between their studios in la Bretagne, Paris and Berlin, and comes backed with remixes from David Carretta, Cristiano Roberto, The Soviet Union and Tales of Voodoo.

Claristidge was formerly part of Acid Washed and has toured the world with his multi-faceted sounds that veers from pop to wave to techno. Workerpoor, meanwhile, has been at the heart of the dark electro scene on labels like Zone with artists like Arnaud Rebotini, The Hacker and Gesaffelstein. Their latest EP makes use of analog synths, drum machines and field recordings from the lake of Callac de Bretagne, so brims with life.

The second track on the release is ‘Slow Uppercut’, a slow, ambient, robotic piece redolent of Boards Of Canada that will sink you into a cosmic abyss.

Synth disco don @TheSovietUnion takes it up a notch and serves up an intergalactic workout of pixel thin synths and punk-funk drums that are fantastically visceral and direct.

Release Date - 24/05/19

Eye Mask On, Think About Everything

Are you ready for a return to the past? To celebrate its 3rd anniversary and after the successes  of its previous compilations 
Habemus Paname, the Parisian label Pont Neuf Records offers a jump in time with 3615 Disco.
Three years after its launch, the label that became «one of the most important of the French house scene» (Mixmag) has more than a dozen releases to its credit with EPs of young French producers from the new French house scene with the likes of Laurent Garnier, Todd Edwards, Detroit Swindle, The Black Madonna or Folamour to name just a very few. Curated by Madcat, one of the spearheads of the Paris label, this new compilation appears as a cry of love, a tribute to the French disco/boogie of the 80s revisited by those who are the faces of the new French house scene : the founder of Moonrise Hill Material Ethyène, the jazzy-house phenomenon Tour-Maubourg, as well as the rising name of the Toulouse scene 
Mangabey, but also many other young and talented producers with 
KX9000, Chevals, ALVA, Vitess, Dub Striker, Yann Polewka and Deborah Aime La Bagarre.
No more excuses, it’s time to dive your head first in this happy night out filled with funky bass lines and kitschy, groovy vibe on this vinyl and cassette limited edition.
