Shall Not Fade Discography_part4

Running Out Of Steam have quickly established themselves as one of the pacesetters in the world of emotionally driven club music, so it’s truly a match made in heaven as NYC No_4mat joins the roster. 

When he isn’t promoting Black and Asian solidarity through his visual effects work with Nike, Mikhael Villegas is crafting his own characteristic take on the techno format; brimming with exploration atmospherics, emotional familiarity and cry-in-the-club energy.

‘Nuthin Left To Say’ begins our journey in a sombre mood; synth stabs bleep and bloop as the bassline wobbles and subtle vocal samples act as a guide through our mutually felt sadness; a tale of emotional distance and the void that inevitably widens when words begin to fail.

Deepness is the order of the day on Mantis Hands collaboration ‘Riddm’; a swirling vortex of rhythmic noise that provides the perfect jumping off point from warm-up to heads down. ‘High Rider’ has a more progressive approach - across six minutes angelic sound patterns and early Bicep-esque house energy inspire movement and deep self-reflection.

The two toughest tracks on the record see us out as ‘Rockergirl’ blasts off into space in a kaleidoscope of colour and imagination; a real feeling of expressiveness and incredible discovery pushing the listeners emotional palette to breaking point, before the pounding triple-kicks and staple No_4mat sensitivity see us out amongst cries of ‘one more tune’.

Zopelar returns to Tartelet with Ritmo Freak, an electric eight-track album from the beating heart of the Brazilian underground, out May 10.

In a flurry of madcap sampling pitched towards the heat of the night, Pedro Zopelar builds on the premise of his 2022 electro-funk love letter Charme, shifting his approach towards a particular 90s flair and a method with a specific end result.

Ritmo Freak took root in studio experiments for a momentous — and rare — live set at São Paulo festival Não Existe in 2023, where Zopelar was caught up in one of those right-place, right-time moments we carry with us through life. As he explains himself:

“This album is dedicated to freaky club culture. While I was playing at the festival there was a crazy tropical storm outside and the room was packed with the freakiest crowd. I've tried hard to immortalize that feeling on this record."
With the intended energy in mind, Zopelar focused on a particular mode of production centred around 12-bit sampling from his ample record collection.

Considering his background as a trained pianist, here his musical instincts are forced to work within the limitations of short, snappy cuts from dusty 12”s. The lo-fi sound sources and the resourceful ways Zopelar works them gives the record an unmistakable old-skool flavour which he applies to forthright house, techno and electro funk rhythms, always taking care to draw out the soul of the music.

The stylistic touchstones flow past thick and fast on Ritmo Freak. From the amped up fierceness of the title track with its gaudy, cut n’ paste, vintage techno flavour to the effervescent electro funk of ‘Gabriellinha’s Boogie’ on to the surreal Balearic inversion of ‘Distraction’, this is a high-velocity, endlessly charming record bursting with the musicality Zopelar has made his name on.

As the driving force behind many warehouse parties in São Paulo, Zopelar has been immersed in club culture for a long time, and his distinctive catalogue of jazz, funk, acid and techno has graced highly respected labels like Apron, Selva Discos and Mother Tongue. Throughout, he’s displayed an affinity for the tangled roots of the groove with an open-eared, big-hearted sound. That’s what comes through on Ritmo Freak — a record as infectious as it is well- informed.
