Premieres 2024

“Mayday Mayday, the end of the world is near, nuclear bombs are hitting the world after the pandemic created the feared World War III. Life is hard and only bunkers are safe places to hide away and party in peace.”

Sweat and more sweat in this bunker edition. The vibe thrown off by these edits and rework are vintage military movies from the 80’s & 90’s. RFX worked on three edits with some heavy celestial aspect and punchy drum machines to be played in revolutionary parties that will come in the next years. Jackit went for a retro downtempo FM vibe with mesmerising drum works and hard breaks with flutes so that you feel in Vietnam.

You know the drill now, all Extinct Melodies are only available for 8 days from the release date, then they move forever in the Top Cat Membership program! So you have from the 28th of July till the 4th of August to grab this rare beauty.

Taking inspiration from good old New Beat and early rave we get a new driving mini album from Paul called - Intuitive Driving

"As a simple fact, this release probably has the longest history of creation. I mean compared to my other work. And I don't really remember all the details anymore. There's been a lot of changes in sound and titles.
But maybe I wanted to create something like a soundtrack to an old skool action film or sci-fi.
In moments I paid attention to New Beat and in general to early rave scene.
Thanks to the guys from Spazio for trusting me and realising my ideas".

Emerging from the most rugged corners of California, the multifaceted Sordid Sound System delivers a musical gem in mini-album format for our 60th release. 'The Raven' features six exquisite original tracks and a lysergic remix with an infectious groove by the well known Thomas Von Party.

A shadowed symphony, whispers to the night. Music, like feathers on the wind, stirs the heart's deepest echoes. In the interplay of darkness and sound, we find the beauty of sorrow's dance. Both the raven and the music are timeless weavers of the soul's hidden tales.

"Spezzatino Porcino” is the new album by Fabio Fabio, set to be released on September 13th. An album that could be defined as progressive trip-hop, in which Marco Foresta and Mattia Ricco wander between electronic sounds, tribalism, slow rhythms, and fragments of random moments from Rai Radio Tre, along with the sounds of the Canavese woods, transforming walks into explorations of a mysterious tropical jungle: a provincial man transforms into a man of the world. 

A unique album in its meta-genre, composed of 7 tracks immersed in various soundscapes that amplify the diversity of the mixed ingredients. Compositions that feel like journeys through someone else's memories, reminiscent of school trips to “Minitalia.” 

Like an adventurous bike trip, cinematic and intense. Distorted impressions of old vinyl records found at flea markets or given by relatives who have discarded their turntables in the attic to listen to music on their phones. 

A playful blend of dark voices, heavy beats, and elegant arrangements, where sound is shaped with a precise, organic, and varied style: you are unlikely to hear anything quite like it, but it will remind you of many things you have already experienced. 

It’s like visiting an old abandoned villa, immersed in the woods, reclaimed by the forest: every room resonates differently, chaotic, still, and serene. Each door conceals the power of a restless place filled with asymmetrical yet ordered and crumbled memories: the then becomes the now. 

Pagan nursery rhymes ooze from the walls. A promiscuous blend that possesses a wild, handcrafted, and witty sound density: this is the key to deciphering the recipe for spezzatino porcino.

Amandra, half head honcho behind Ahrpe Records, goes for subtly evolving and droning atmospheres. With releases spanning both a wide range of electronic genres and record labels: Nous'klaer Audio, AD 93, Tikita or Semantica, just to name a few; the French producer based in Toulouse illustrates with coherence his own vision of acid and tribal rhythms that can be presented with either bright and soft feelings or through a darker, more disturbed path.

Brera Som Som EP
As always with Amandra, there is a blend of poetic and soft hidden touch given to the music through carefully crafted personal track names. Brera Som Som is a 4-tracker EP, recorded back when he lived in Warsaw Poland, showcasing the artist's ability to navigate through niche genres. It comes as a double 12" package cherry-topped with four intelligent and eclectic remixes from artists with their own unique identity: Shielding, Whylie, Martinou and Brainwaltzera.

Amandra on disc 1:

Brera Som Som
I want my music to breathe dirty so it's alive to my ears, trying to stay away from surgical, clean, electronic music. The Prophet 08 is the one here, recorded by hand, with assumed offbeat imperfections, as always. I wanted to get a naïve Asian mood out of it, just to try and contrast with the rest of the track. I tend to think a lot about my tracks and their meaning more in terms of feelings, art and techniques than in terms of deep messages, political views, dance floors or whatever. Brera Som Som is a try at using the chiaroscuro technique depicted in classical paintings for instance, where you can have an interesting focus on some very specific elements.

Cyborg Pelikana
Recorded out of a jam on a Soma Pulsar 23 and some heavy distorted synths, it ended up sounding like no other recordings I made. The structure is also a bit different as I wanted to have a more composed-like approach here.

Fanfaron
Here is a try at going jungle... with a Moog DFAM and a 303 processed through a Sherman Filterbank.

Prorokini
This one belongs to a phase where I was exploring the sampling side of electronic music. Until that moment I was building 100% of my drums and ideas based on raw drum machines and some processing, then started feeling how it would feel to sample some raw external beats from a drummer for instance and process them my way. I didn't pursue that sampling lead much afterward because it felt like a boring approach to me at that time but a few tracks stood out anyway, like this one, which I'm very proud of. The synths are clearly programmed on the Prophet 08, it can't go any more Dave Smith Instruments than that, if you like them, go grab that synth!

Remixers on disc 2:

Cyborg Pelikana - Shielding Remix
"I liked the dry and direct qualities of the original track and wanted to maintain that feeling while collaging it using my own processing methods and sounds. Recorded in my old home studio in Stockholm."

Brera Som Som - Brainwaltzera Remix
"no comment."

Fanfaron - Whylie Remix
"The remix was made using resampling techniques, the rhythmic noises were transformed into driving percussive layers pushing the imperfections into character. A more emotional overlay was added to the track based on the sentimental and personal approach I built through my sound."

Brera Som Som - Martinou Remix
"Interpreting Amandras' work has been on my bucket list for a while. There’s something in it that is innately humanizing and raw which I also wanted to capture in my remix. The melody line from the remix is just a snapshot of a small part of the full original track, but it stuck with me and expanded through improvisation to what you see before you today. With this remix I wanted to make something that would swell slowly and ring out into infinity.

Nearly two years on from their last Casino Edits outing and marking six years of the label itself, Casino Times return for Casino Edits 5.

The A is a beefed-up take on a punchy European disco staple. An infectious groove is coupled with fluttering arpeggios and a rigorous bassline that builds tension throughout to deliver some peak-time power.

Meanwhile on the flip, B1 brings synthesised and organic voices together with eerie melodies and a low slung beat, creating a rock-infused haze. B2 finishes the release off on a house tip, with a relentless percussive loop that bends between mind-melting FX and an uncompromising square wave bass.

Exclusive RSS Disco - Lunar Fling (Das Komplex Remix)

After a first set of remixes of RSS Disco's track Lunar Fling, which were released in December 2019 on Mireia, a second round of different musical approaches to the track is rung in just in time of the new decade. Lakeshouse and Das Komplex took on remix duties for the label's first release of 2020. The latter, whose real name is Marcin Lukaszewicz, has been putting out selective works on labels such as Father And Son Records And Tapes and Paramida's Love On The Rocks and has started hitting all sorts of people's radar, amongst those Dj Harvey, who has supported some of Marcin's music at some of his shows. His remix approach for Lunar Fling, understandably enough, captures several moods and influences, so basically Das Komplex does just what his artist name suggests, he takes the listener through complex sounds, which are incorporated into a multi-layered arrangment, in particular Marcin combines the disco-ish note from the RSS Disco original take with piano chords as well as deep and dark textures. 

RSS Disco's single 'Lunar Fling' will be released on Mireira Records on March 9th, 2020.
