Neud - 'All Night...'

The Electronic Circus - Direct Lines

Medio Mutante - Another Land

Coldwave / darkwave debut album by San Fransisco based producer Gabriel Ramos.

While the band has gone through a few lineup changes Ssleeping Desiress has essentially remained the brainchild of Gabriel Ramos, who is now the sole member. Ssleeping Desiress is certainly a gem in the electronic underground, the album runs along the boundaries between minimal synth, coldwave, and electro with lyrical themes being gentrification, coping with death, artistic drive and confusion and the ephemeral nature of relationships.

The only Ssleeping Desiress release so far was the great A Voice / Sister 7inch on the FlexiWave label in 2012. They also appeared on numerous new new wave compilations in the last couple of years. The self-titled album presented here takes the project to the next level. Kicking off with an echoing voice over repetitive drums and outbursts of synths & guitars, slowly moving towards a more darkwave sound on the second half of the album.

Gabriel Ramon started making solo recordings while living in Portland, Oregon around 2005. Being inspired by the culminating factors of the DIY drive of the city, hosting live shows at his house, which frequently would host friends' bands from San Francisco and his growing fascination and voracious consumption of music: "I can really trace it to the first time Spector Protector played at my house and getting a tape afterwards from one of the two members, Eric Davis. That and being freshly exposed to groups like Suicide and Arthur Russell was very inspirational to begin recording music on my own, though it is something I had done fairly aimlessly since high school. I make an effort and try and change my process as much as I can (usually through collaboration) and vary the instrumentation. I try and incorporate a late 70s punk vibe, a marriage of dub and krautrock repetition and cavernous space. Definitely not always successful but that is what is usually running through my head when I create music for this band."

Miss Kittin & The Hacker are the Electro duo of Caroline Hervé and Michel Amato from Grenoble, France. The pair met during the early 90s at a rave and soon after bought turntables and began DJing. In 1996, their collaboration began, writing music heavily influenced by the 80s post punk bands Fad Gadget, DAF, Liaisons Dangeuresues, Yazoo as well as Italo Disco. Bored by the techno scene at the time, the pair set out to lighten the seriousness and add a camp sexiness. Upon hearing their demos DJ Hell signed them to his Munich-based International DJ Gigolo label and released their first 2 EPs in 1998 and 1999. Their debut album ”First Album" is released in 2001 and pioneers the electroclash movement of the early 2000’s. 

“Lost Tracks Vol. 1” contains 4 previously unreleased demos recorded between 1997 and 1999.  Distancing themselves from the hard techno produced in Europe at the time, the duo fused 80’s European New Wave/Italo Disco with 90’s Detroit Electro acts like Le Car and Dopplereffekt. Somewhat unorthodox, their sound has a song-like format, based on the verse-chorus pop schema of the 80s music they grew up listening to. Song arrangements are direct, spontaneous, seemingly unplanned, and mainly generated with some synths, a beat box and a microphone. Their studio set up at the time was a Korg MS-20, Roland SH-101, TR-606, TR-808, Siel DK80, and Boss DR-660 drum machine. Distinguished by Miss Kittin's French accented voice, full of derision, she sings about falling in love with an alien, sexy nightlife in Berlin and explicit S&M leather play.

All songs have been transferred from the original DAT tapes by the band and mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. The vinyl comes housed in glossy jacket featuring a never seen before black and white photo of the duo taken in 1996. Each LP includes a postcard with liner notes from Miss Kittin and The Hacker designed by Eloise Leigh. As Miss Kittin says of these demos, “We were naive, innocent, adventurous and we didn’t expect anything in return”.

A1 - De Ambassade - Wat Voel Je Nou

Geneva Jacuzzi - "Casket"

In one of my eyes, want it to be great
They’ve stolen your mind and fallen away
It’s easy to fake

They can’t play for your love
The black snow, oh we don’t know
We can’t follow.

Have you ever been crucified?
All we know is your suicide

Never imaged you'd want to be great
