Milano-based producer Eluard graces Slow Motion Records once again with his debut album ‘Dirty Hall’. A release filled with his distinctively nostalgic tone, blending West Coast synth funk and Italo Disco with appropriate, seamless grit. 

‘Dirty Hall’ opens with ‘Die Erste Musik’,  a chiming track with a wide, captivating vocal sampler riff that delicately dances off fizzing percussion. Creamy, glistening chords sit beautifully within this arrangement effortlessly complementing the bassline. This approach is taken a step further in the following ‘Carlo E Daria’, with an instantly attention-grabbing swirling synth motif.  

‘Dirty Hall’ shows the breadth of Eluard's innate talent for harnessing the best out of the analogue machine, creating a rich sonic palette that never fails to warm the ears. The thundering lows of ‘Comic Bad’ are met with a mind-bending augmented synth line and a beautifully enigmatic vocal riff. 

Eluard’s sound design throughout this LP masterfully pushes the retro into the present realm, retaining the characterful intrigue of the instruments recorded. Intelligently placed harmonies in ‘Dancers Are Thin And Pretty’ and ‘Funny Jasmine’ help to raise the instrumental sequences, allowing the listener to be transported to a more reflective, existential space. 

The slick flare of elegant floor filler ‘Phonemes’ solidifies Eluard as a visionary within the Italian Dance Wave Movement, layering distinguished instrumentals with perfectly placed melodics.

‘Dirty Hall’ eloquently concludes with the sophisticated sleaze of ‘In The Next Room’. A masterful nod to the golden era of the vocoder with a stomping, percussive groove and a cleansing chordal sequence. ‘Dirty Hall’ is an LP charged with a mind-bending evocation instilling Eluard as a forward-thinking force within the sonic sphere.

From being a long-time supporter of Sprechen and on the back of an appearance on a previous Edgy Future Discotheque compilation, we are very thrilled and excited to announce the arrival of Ed Mahon’s first 3 track E.P. for us which packs a plethora of the favoured sounds by this Northern powerhouse. From acid-chug to dark tweaky late-night affairs then right back to a sun drenched after hours at sunrise (or sunset depending how long you’ve been up for!).  It’s all here!

Title track Lights Go Down is a murky voyage for twisted discotheques attendees who favour the more deeper side of dance music. Sounded like a lost sibling of Baby Want’s To Ride complete with haunting vocal & melodies. Like a cosmic horror film score!

Don’t Be Serious blasts right off into the cosmos of the chuggy outer regions of the ‘end fo the night’ stratosphere. Very much ‘Weatherall-esque’ in its balance between banger & beautiful, this has 1 last tune stamped all over it. Especially when those big E style strings & pads come in.

As with all things, the best is saved for last and here it’s the absolute stunning Say You Care. Positively pulsating with beach bar & sunset vibes, this is a truly stunning way top close of the E.P. and is destined for many of the chill out & balearic heads. Its already been soundtracking Café Mambo in 2023! Lush vocals by Louise Spiteri wrapped around soaring keys, strings, pads and a blooming amazing jazz style vibraphone breakdown that would give Roy Ayers a run for his money,
