Oh My Goth: KEXP DJ Sharlese Metcalf on What Goth Means to Her

En - To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Franco-Canadian label Chez.Kito.Kat Records, we are releasing a compilation bringing together 22 original tracks by 22 artists from Canada, France, Germany, Belgium, Chile, Vietnam and Luxembourg.
These 22 tracks reflect all the diversity that the label tries to reflect within the electronic music scene, ranging from techno, ambient, breakbeat, house or even IDM / Braindance.

PREMIERE : Von Kube - Zwischensequenz

Galactic Funk co-founder Bertram lands on Dead Channel with his debut EP Kibra Cadena. Literally translated as ‘break chains’ in Aruban creole, and broadly referencing the breaking of colonial chains of imperial oppression, this six track EP of tense, brooding rhythms is driven and gritty. Spanning mutated psychedelic dub, Giallo-tinged cinematix, frenzied insidious acid, and methodically churning crispers, this stunning work is singular in its execution and focused in its vision. Visceral, heady, and relentless, this dark, genre-defying gem is a tour de force in sonic mastery.

Releases on limited cassette and digital March 18, 2022.

Bertram - Tercel Dub [DC014] (Snippet)

We’re delighted to have one of Spain’s pioneers of everything synth with us this month, @adrian_marth. The Barcelona artist was already on our radar, his Marthian World in the bag, when we bumped into him before his cracking set at this year’s Ombra Festival. After said live show a decision was made; the Italo Moderni boss needs to be on WE FORFEIT.
From a mutual love of all things EBM, italo and synth, our conversation charts the rise and rise of the Catalan artist, Dj and label boss. Tracks come care of our guest, unreleased material from the label and some favourites from the WE FORFEIT camp.

Clay Pedrini :: New Dream (I.D. Limited)
Who is Adrián Marth and what is Italo Moderni?
Adrián Marth :: Disorder (Wrong Era/ @italo_moderni)
Rapha :: V More Karabli (Italo Moderni) 
How did you become influenced in electronic music and, in particular, italo? Who are your influences?
Adrián Marth :: Black Ritual Witches (Wrong Era (@slow-motion-records)/ Italo Moderni)
Why did you decide to set up your own label? What style is Italo Moderni pursuing?
Journeyman :: Something Dies In The Soul (Day mix) (@kosmoramadisco)
Win2Win :: Fantasia 500 (Wrong Era)
L&O::Even Now (La Musique Fait La Force)
Shortly after you started this project, the world entered into a pandemic. How were you able to adapt and continue to develop your label and yourself as a performer?
Anne Clarke :: Our Darkness (Virgin)
Petra & Co :: Just Let Go (Dub) (La Musique Fait La Force)
Your live show has seen you perform in events such as IFM streaming festival and at the Operator stage at Ombra in Barcelona. What is your process for performing live? Is it different to how you create music in the studio?
Adrián Marth :: Adrian Marth - Experiment Man (Italo Moderni)
You’re based in Barcelona, but your collaborations and various artist compilations draw artists from all over the continent. How do you find artists to collaborate with? What do you look for when you want to work with an artist?
Chino :: Shoplifters (Italo Moderni)
Italo disco continues to see a resurgence in popularity. Why is this genre so enduring and endearing? 
Larry Day :: Fashion Girl (I.D. Limited)
Alba :: Philomena (Aube)
Suicide Booth :: Aura (@dasdrehmoment)
How is the music scene in Barcelona? 
Mata Hari :: Mata Hari Mata Hari (Blanco y Negro/@bordelloaparigii/@moustache-records)
It appears that the electronic scene in Spain favours darker sounds: we’ve already spoken of Ombra festival, countless artists talk of their love of post-punk and industrial while labels like barro, fill-lex and soil really push this sound. Why do you think darkness continues to be so prevalent in the Spanish scene?
@borisdivider :: Parallel (@arcanoid remix version 2) (@frigio-records)
What are you releasing next? Any snippets for us?
@timothy-j-fairplay :: Altar Room (Italo Moderni)
@univac-geistform :: Aegis(Italo Moderni)
What do you have planned for the future? (tours/shows/record releases etc. remember this interview will probably air mid february)
And to finish,, what is a guilty pleasure track for you?
Axxess :: Dancing Shadows (Lamborghini/@medical-records-llc)

Saint (Heinrich Mueller Z Version)

Following continued support from Spotify (‘Brain Food’), Apple Music (inc ‘Vibes’) and Amazon Music, Hermanito returns with 'Pastel' (single out 14th October).

Made in his flat during the Mexican rainy reason, following a summer of making and playing music on both sides of the Atlantic, here is an infectious lofi groover - Hermanito blending his contemporary dream-like driving percussion with his signature samples (in this case - flutes and a mexican crooner) - the perfect soundtrack for the road trip that you never want to end.

Here is a must-listen for fans of the unpredictable and beat-laden cross-cultural stylings of Bonobo, Quantic, Emancipator, Aim and Caribo

PREMIERE : Hermanito - Pastel

Slow Riders returns with a powerful new release that dives deep into emotional landscapes and slow-burning grooves. ‘Davere’, the latest offering from Syost & Divenitto featuring Michael Morris, is a hypnotic journey built around rich textures, steady rhythms, and a haunting vocal performance that lingers long after the track ends. Alongside the original comes a standout remix from Ed Noodle, who brings his signature touch of raw, minimal pressure to reshape the track with a darker, more introspective edge. For DJs and selectors looking to stretch the experience, the release also features an Extended Mix of the original, as well as Ed Noodle’s own extended version, offering a deeper and more immersive ride through his reimagined soundscape. This four-track release captures the heart of what Slow Riders is all about: emotion, atmosphere, and timeless slow-motion energy.

After Kollaps-Flesh (Mellon Place Records)

Released under the iiP moniker, ‘SEN’ is the latest work by sound designer Setsuya KUROTAKI - a three-part composition shaped by field recordings, live instrumentation, and finely calibrated programming.

Constructed as a musical self-dialogue involving his alter-egos "Sebastian Kline" and "Nicolie Binara", the work examines the fluidity of sound materials and the emergence of emotion through the conceptual frames of “Sequence,” “Environment,” and “Neutral.”

Balancing restraint and organic layering, it can be read as a subtle disturbance of the boundary between interiority and environment.
