Dystopian lucid dreaming… Is this reality? Is this a nightmare? Are we sharing the same dream or are we all part of yours? 

We have no answers. But we do have the perfect soundtrack as Curses’ label Ombra International continue to join the most powerful dots around the world. Somewhere between dark disco and post-punk, it’s the label’s first vinyl release in some time with three debuts and two highlights from the recent Ombra International 17 ‘Destiny’ V/A EP. All things connected, all things unclassifiable, sitting somewhere between Italo, indie, acid house, electro, synthwave and beyond. 

Turkish dynamo Günce Acı takes the lead as she continues to accelerate into the scene with dominance. Her Ombra debut ‘Another Round’ pushes us head first into an acid primordial soup; Trippy, relentless and full of surprises, it’s another sure-fire sign of her exciting rise. 

Elsewhere long-time supporters and good friends of the label Juan MacLean and Hardway Bros also both make their label debuts. The former lays down the deep pulsating sensation ‘Monika’, a sojourn that stretches out over almost 10 minutes of heady, hypnotic bliss. Meanwhile the latter sends us love from his HQ outer space with the industrial strength euphoria bulldozer ‘Early Nineties’. Ploughman beats and cathedral keys, this washes away the bitter aftertaste of lockdown with unfiltered, uncut feels. 

And if that’s not quite enough worldly Ombra substance to fuel your dystopian dreams, then look no further as previous digital-only tracks Skelesys – ‘The Scorpio Sting’ and Jorkes and NIKKNAME – ‘Citizen’ are both revisited on this pivotal release for the label. Timeless music never dates; here’s to another 20 Ombra escapades…

Fake Expectations es el título del EP que desarollan los productores mexicanos Lusca del dúo Los Fugazzi & Andrem de FLXXX.

El primer remix esta a cargo de los hermanos Cornejo, Sequencers, nuestros veteranos tapatíos favoritos por excelencia. Ellos realizan una versión oscura del sencillo bastante apegada al mix original, torciéndolo un poco con su downtempo característico.

Complementando de una manera brillante las remezclas, figura Undefined Pattern, en el cual canaliza la expresión musical original del sencillo para presentarnos dos versiones, que sin duda alguna, genera incertidumbre de cuál es su mejor versión.

Por último, aparece el mix original Swell, el cual ya había sido lanzado en campaña únicamente en SoundCloud. En esta pista original de Lusca, el productor utiliza su ya definido sonido de sintetizador distorsionado con un bajo que hace mover la cabeza para pegar todo el track.

PREMIERE: Lusca, Andrem - Fake Expectations (Undefined Pattern Remix)[Innisfallen Records]

For the foreseeable future I've decided to self release my music as Chymera. It means that I can release when I want and what I want.

Here's the first release. Two tracks on the deeper techno tip.
- Perception was made last year during the first lockdown.
- Ab Intra is a couple of years old, and has a similar vibe.

You might recognise them from the live set I streamed last year here: youtu.be/XeKVm7Lc2FY

More to come soon!

Before he releases ‘Don’t Believe In Happiness’, his next full length album on the label, Finnish artist Jori Hulkkonen teases us with two new tracks on My Favorite Robot Records.

Hulkkonen is a regular on this label with his three last albums coming through the imprint. A prolific producer with a real mastery of his synths, he creates atmospheric soundtracks couched in techno but with a wide world of influences contained within. These new tracks are two of the more DJ friendly cuts from the “rather dark and moody forthcoming album, and have been secret weapons in his sets for a while now.

Up first, the majestic ‘I am the Night’ has all elements Jori has come to love in house music over the past 30 years: a slightly distorted, punchy 808, mystic vocal sample and a dramatic chord sequence. It is a serene and zoned out cut that really gets you under its spell.

On the flip, ’Tintån Terdel’ is a more laid-back groove based on a fine chord structure and with a bouncy bassline reminiscent of Metro Area and arpeggios a la Daft Punk from their golden turn of the millennium period, all finished with chords from Miami Vice-era Jan Hammer. “This track is dedicated to my favourite hangout in my home town in Turku,” says Jori of the breezy and laid-back number.

These two great cuts offer a tantalising taster of what is to come from the full album later in the year.
