Berlin-based record label Odd Pleasures is finally born. Curated by acclaimed Chilean duo Random Atlas (SXDNS155/FREEDL024), the new South American/European imprint will be devoted to exploring the darker side of disco and focus on bringing a fresh blend of Electronic and Rock, Post Punk, New Wave, and everything in between.

For its debut release, ODD Pleasures has prepared a Worldwide Various Artists Compilation including tracks by well-known producers from Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Turkey: Alvee, Persona RS, Marzian (SXDNS128), Alex Aguayo, Ducati Flux, Javier Martinez (SXDNS104), Fat&Bald, Ludviq, Aural Trace, and the label honchos themselves make up the dream team. 

Every artist presents a delicate piece of their musical exploration that gives life to an obscure, mysterious, and futuristic sonic universe. Powerful beats, underpinned by catchy and dark bass lines, New Wave synthetic textures, and atmospheres with hints of Post Punk and Krautrock elements. ODD Pleasures’s first compilation proposes a storytelling journey that crosses the line between the dancefloor and casual listening, a soundtrack to anyone who seeks an immersive driving force.

The track we were solicited to premiere/review was cooked with love in Santiago, Chile, by talented producer Roman Sebastian aka Persona RS, also a member of MKRNI, Roman & Castro, and Follakzoid. His “Space Pod”, definitely one of the highlights of the release, is a groovy and bouncing peak time cut with a powerful bassline and a stunning synth layer, a powerful contribution to a mighty compilation. Welcome, Odd Pleasures! We wish you a successful journey!

PREMIERE182 // Persona RS - Space Pod

Kate Stein - Mystic Saddle Ranch (Inc. Autarkic, Balam remixes)
Release date : 13 may 2021
Label: Playground Records (https://soundcloud.com/playgroundrecords)
https://soundcloud.com/katesteinnyc https://soundcloud.com/autarkic

Australian raised, New York based producer Kate Stein makes her debut on Playground Records with ‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ a powerful Ep full of hypnotic rhythms and beautiful landscapes, composed by 2 original mixes accompanied by high caliber remixes from Autarkic and Balam.
‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ begins like a train barreling from far away with staccato arpeggios and modulations; like horns warning that it is in a hurry and the energy will not stop. Sensual and seductive at the same time, the track builds with an elegant current of sound. This takes us back to the beginning of electronic sounds, reminiscent of I Feel Love. The glam of Studio 54 crossover with some acid slow electro makes for an irresistible dance ripped dress.
The second track is called ‘Hi-Lo Motel’ and it gets more serious. A bouncing synth marks out a crossover bass with modulations seeping back and forth in alien tone. A smooth and rarefied flight, ecstatic, stealthy and nostalgic.
Autarkic remixes ‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ by twisting it with a lot of funk machine. A hoarse, scratchy bass grooves recklessly as a dirty, dragged snare beats his side. Cowbells rattle for flavor as acid modulations elusively intersect. Pads of mystery take us to a break
that is quickly attacked again by the bass to unleash a brazen and shrewd dance.
Balam gives his own perspective about ‘Mystic Saddle Ranch’ closing the Ep and doing what he does best, mixing synthetic tribalism of acid modulations and frenetic percussion. His bass, his personal mark, pushes incessantly and cadency. He takes us on a sinuous and enchanting journey while chords scatter us through an open space towards infinity.

Italian producer, DJ wizard ; Franz Scala has a knack for 80's fueled releases awash with modern sensibilities, his Italian-centric but Berlin based label Slow Motion, weaving proto-house and Italo wave together for Italian-born producers, while Wrong Era is for international artists. Slow Motion & Bordello A Parigi with the support of Sameheads are joining forces to release Scala’s euphoric debut Album “Mondo Della Notte”, which translates to ‘World Of The Night’. 

The LP leads into gorgeous synths and psychedelic-disco dips are brought forward with infectious enthusiasm on the 8-track double vinyl, with each track sitting around the 7-minute mark so as to make room for all of Scala’s retro nods. The title track is a bountiful disco wave marathon; blending heavenly vocal snippets and infectious synth lines in a bold Euro-romance dream. ‘Gladio’ is a hypnotizing affair with a firm nod to Detriot, weaving between the hard-hitting Free Style cut “Museum of Illusion” and the jam-packed Chicago-house track “‘Dreamline”. 

Scala’s rework of ‘One Way Love’ infusing trippy new beat vocals with a steady proto-house step, whereas “Stelle” is strictly Paradise Garage with ethereal sound design and catchy synth design. Built like an encapsulating treasure trove of Scala’s Italo influences, the record is flawless for the dance floor or driving on an Italian highway.

Mondo Della Notte

PREMIERE : Franz Scala - Dreamline

Eye sight blurred, head spinning; he dropped to the floor with outstretched hands. Fumbling around on the floor he struggled to pick himself up, grasping at unknown objects to help him find a way to his feet. On standing he noticed a large lump forming on the top his head, which began to throb ferociously as he steadied himself. But how this had come to be here, he didn't know. In fact, he couldn't remember anything... 

Slow Motion records launch into 2021 with a debut EP from Florence renaissance man Tulioxi, who continues to fly the label's flag for Italian Dance Wave. The five original tracks on The Japanese Message are a nod to the vintage sounds of Europe but brought into the present — hypnotic machine-funk and furious drumwork are matched with high energy basslines and video-age melodies, which get reimagined by Altieri and Armonics on the flip.
