Paradiso Records releases the Kraken for its 36th EP. Puns aside, Ivan Fabra (SXDNS107) makes his debut on the respected British label with “Kraken Disco”, a high-quality cosmic & mythological release with three cutting-throat originals and two mighty remixes delivered by Tech Support and Alberto Melloni (FREEDL026).

Ivan has been keeping himself busy in 2021 with a string of collaborations/contributions to labels such as Emerald & Doreen, Boite Music, among others. And now, in his first EP of the year, the versatile Spanish producer takes the opportunity to embody a more “Ivan Fabra” signature sonority. The remixers understood the essence of “Kraken Disco” and provided interpretations that, yes, depict their own identity, but don’t break the story told by the originals.

Tech Support, for instance, despite having pitched “Backwards” down (from 124 to 115 BPM), kept the retro-futuristic mood and added more affection, trippiness, in his version, but without losing the excitement and clout from Ivan’s theme. Proper production skills here, peeps!

PREMIERE189 // Ivan Fabra - Backwards (Tech Support Remix)

When Greco-German couple Local Suicide (@localsuicide) and New York City native Curses (@cursesforever) met in Berlin, the epicenter of electronic music, their artistic chemistry was immediately obvious. This chance meeting resulted in several fructuous collaborations, with the latest being ‘Magia’, a dark and mysterious four-track EP. This release represents the perfect opportunity for the artists to take the genre-bending blend of 80’s new wave, dark disco and ghostly vocals that have earned their previous collaborations unanimous praise to a whole new level. 

The EP comes after an impressively prolific year for the ever-busy Local Suicide powerhouse, following the release of their globally acclaimed debut album ‘Eros Anikate’ with collaborations with The Hidden Cameras, Lena Platonos, Theus Mago and Curses himself, as well as four remixes EPs featuring remixes by household names such as Adana Twins, Silicone Soul, Echonomist, Biesmans, Die Selektion and many more on top of a hectic touring schedule. 

The multi-talented artist and head of the Ombra International label Curses also recently released his darkly romantic second album ‘Incarnadine’ with features from Jennifer Touch and Terr, following an acclaimed first album on Jennifer Cardini's Dischi Autunno imprint. For this collaboration, he lends his distinctive sound signature that incorporates punk, Italo Disco, and EBM influences for a somber and nostalgic sound.

The EP’s title track ‘Magia’, immediately puts the listener under its spell with its dystopian atmosphere, as cold and distant voices echo eerily behind the relentless beat and unsettling looping synths, before layering up into an intense but also strangely hopeful soundscape.  

The beautifully complex and moody ‘It All Sounds The Same’ then follows with its ethereal and ghostly vocals bleeding through the urgent rhythm. The alliteration of the lyrics contributes to creating an otherworldly, almost uneasy feeling echoed by the lonely voices lamenting that everything ‘sounds the same’.  

The third track ‘Secret Friends’ opens up with cascading acid notes soon overtaken by the same driving beat as pulsing synths overlap each other in a frenzy while the vocals call out for a ‘secret friend’ with the seductive appeal of a mysterious, almost supernatural being. 

Far from alleviating the tension that has been building up throughout the EP, the closing track, ‘Walk With Me’, feels like a frenzied and Lynchian musical descent into madness, as insistent notes become more and more distorted until they’re swallowed by the bassline and electric notes while barely human voices whisper menacingly, gasping and crossing overhead. 

 In true Local Suicide and Curses fashion, this EP feels like a masterfully crafted plunge into an unfamiliar world that will leave you wanting more. Tune in for the release on February 24th, 2022 via Local Suicide’s own label Iptamenos Discos. (@iptamenosdiscos)

Playground Records' 58th release comes from one of the most active members of the family, the talented Italian A-Tweed who brings us his first mini-LP titled 'Rave the Cave'. A dark, acid and thick work, loaded with psychedelia, experimentation and groove. We invite you to delve into this cave of weird sounds and infectious dance.

A pulsating heartbeat through the ancient stone walls, a symphony of beats reverberating through the darkness. The cave becomes a sanctuary, a primal refuge where the vibrations of music mingle with the whispers of time. Where the echoes of the past meet the rhythms of the present in a timeless dance of existence.

Having safely navigated a change of country, Citizens Of Vice is now fully settled into its new hideout. The mountain ranges of the Jura and Alps are behind us, replaced by the wild beauty of the Yorkshire Moors. But enough about scenery — let’s get back to what we do best: music. And next up...

If you caught Sean Johnston’s recent ALFOS compilation, you’ll already know the name Bal5000, whose stunning track ‘Bleu Infini’ left a lasting impression. Bal5000 has also released on esteemed labels such as Dirt Crew Recordings and Emotional Especial.

We’re now thrilled to announce his latest release, The Lake — a shimmering new cut that dives even deeper into his genre hopping sound. Alongside the title track are ‘Untitled Acid’ and ‘Untitled Electro’. As their names suggest, they explore acid and electro-infused vibes, all within the ever-evolving Citizens Of Vice sonic ethos.

On remix duties, our long-term collaborator — and one of our absolute favourites — Pete Herbert (Music For Swimming Pools) delivers not one but two stellar reworks, each infused with his unmistakable style.

This September, @My-Favorite-Robot-Records welcomes Mexican artist @leonoroficial for a debut release that shows off his evocative synth sounds while the label bosses and Bawrut also remix.

Leonor has often found his tracks at the top of the Beatport and Juno charts, they range from slow motion, dark disco to Balearic beats and have taken him all round Europe as a DJ. Now off the back of support from the likes of Dixon and Maceo Plex, he is back with more of his superb original music. The ‘Xantolo EP’ is a record inspired by the culture of Mexico’s Fariseos, the colourfully dressed and masked religious figures that made their mark on the young Leonor.
The opener is ‘Xantolo’, a deep rooted groove that lifts you off your feet with its rising synth energy. It feels epic and poignant without ever being showy, as distant guitar riffs and tumbling congas build a serene vibe. Label heads My Favorite Robot then up the ante and layer in some pressurised synth loops and more driving hits to make for a futuristic bit of cosmic techno.

Leonor’s excellent ‘El Chapulin’ is a real astral adventure, with sci-fi pads flying by the window as you surf on a future-retro groove. Subtle acid sounds and spoken words drift into earshot to add even more evocative and essential detail. Remixer Bawrut makes music that draws on the rich heritage of Chicago and European house but comes embellished with all sorts of wonderful additions that come to him during digging sessions and DJ sets around the world. The Silencio boss skillfully flips ‘El Chapulin’ into a broken beat jam with pixel-thin synth lines and warm, surging bass.

This EP is a perfect fusion of synth, disco and techno into something new and fresh.

Welcome to a new dream come true. Only we can decide what is salvation or surrender. Goodbye 2020, hello new beginnings.  London's Birds makes her Ombra debut with a dirty post-punk tinged tribute to the late Andrew Weatherall. FREERIDE MILLENIUM cohorts, Jorkes & Nikkname deliver a dystopian manifesto to the citizen's of the renegade and rebel truth. Buenos Aires born, Berlin-based Skelesys returns to the homefront, venturing into an accelerated dark wave bomb incorporating his enigmatic vocals and guitar.  Silicodisco & Madrid's Rotten City Records boss, Alvaro Cabana return to Ombra with a hypnotic kraut-rocktechno vibe. Chilean, Ducati Flux, is 1/2 of the Berlin-based live duo, Random Atlas. With a few tracks already confirmed on Ombra this year, this is his first. A slow and heavy-snared weapon, with a nod to the oldskool turntablist scratch records.  Last in the EP is Belgian's NAUFRAGI. A triumphant return to Ombra, with a super cosmic track, Italo and new wave inspired.

Tracklist:

1. Jorkes & Nikkname - Citizen   
2. Ducati Flux - Trash   
3. Birds - Keep The Ship Moving   
4. Skelesys - The Scorpion King
