Recently we discovered this beauty of a song from the Australian group "Crooked Colours" which is based in Perth and we fell immediately in love with it. The original is great, but a bit hard to dance to, so we rearranged some elements cause we thought some people might be interested in a more clubby version. It is tenderly made with the greatest respect for the original and we hope you will like it as much as we do. A great tune for fans of John Talabot and The XX ;). We have the official OK to distribute it for free, so spread the word and pay a visit to the original band:

Flashback to 2008 when we started off on myspace and with this edit and profile pic into hyperspace. The original has just been re-released on zyx. Here is the remaster version of our edit.

Magic Men - Popcorn (The Robot Scientists No More Popcorn Edit) - Remaster - Free DL

Jean-Jacques Perrey from Paris was one of the first Moog musicians, creating "far out electronic entertainment" already in the 1960s. He released albums with names we love like "Musique Electronique Du Cosmos (Electronic Music From Outer Space)" (1962) or "Cadmus Le Robot De L'Espace" even from 1959. We ran into "Cosmic Bird", this fantastic tune he recorded with Air in 2000 roughly, recently on an old CD, burnt from Audiogalaxy and Soulseek shares in the early 2000s which we didn't listen to for decades. It reminded us somehow of our first edit of "Popcorn" by Magic Men (and the original of course, the first synth chart hit by Hot Butter from 1972). It not only has a futuristic, but also a fun side to it and a psychedelic one too, like our favorite Italo tracks, so we decided to edit it to take the wonderful hypnotic madness of the original to the extreme. :) Enjoy! And listen to the original whereever you can find it.

Douze - Twilight (Instrumental)

DBFC, signed to Different Recordings late last year are set to release their second single for the label when they unveil ‘Autonomic’ on April 29th.

Fronted by Mancunian David Shaw and Parisian Dombrance, this Anglo-French outfit comes together as a four-way collective, not a band  as such but more a club.  Featuring  alongside the duo come  percussionist Guillaume Rossel and bassist Victor Paillet, the DBFC vision is entrenched within the French electronic music scene but, as witnessed on their debut for Different Recordings, ‘Get It All’, they succeeded in creating a sound that encompasses their multi-facetted talents.

We premiere ‘Autonomic’ today and heralds its arrival inhabiting a more dance-orientated world and whilst eschewing elements of their previous single..

Dark Swamp Boogie OST with Roubaix Connection - Rare private release - France 1980s

Steve Cass & Justin Wilson met at high school in the late 80's and began listening to each other's music collections  whilst bunking school. Their taste spanned everything from Simple Minds to The Egyptian Lover but they really started getting serious about their music after hearing cassette tapes that were going around their local town and in particular a DJ from Windsor called Richard Bell who happened to be living with some older friends who had travelled South really caught their attention.

They started collecting the records they were hearing on the mix tapes and clubs and over the years spent a fortune mail ordering records from London's Flying, Fat Cat & Tag records, Frankfurt's Delirium and Glasgow's Bomba records and are still in touch today with some of the guys who worked or owned these shops.

As the record collections grew they wanted to share the sounds with friends so fast forward to May 1995 when they opened the doors to the first ever NSA night in the basement of a local football club.

The night was a huge success and quickly evolved into a fortnightly party which was when the journey began.  In between the NSA parties they frequented Edinburgh's Pure at the venue where NSA went on to relocate and SLAM that happened on a Friday at the Arches in Glasgow hosted by Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle who go by the same name and have played with the guys on a good few occasions.
The foundations of all these nights depended on the residents who knew how to set the scene and NSA offered the same opportunity for Steve & Justin to hone their skills in the art of the warmup as well as playing longer sets as they rotated between resident only parties and the guest DJs they would ask along to the club.

Track selection was the key thing for them and is still very evident in their sets to this day as they opt out of playing the latest big records and try to select music that will stand the test of time or has a bit more depth to it.  This is a far cry from a lot of clubs you go to these days with the music being banged out as soon as the doors open with little thought going into it. 
The same ethos is applied to the careful selection of the guests they would ask to play and the night must also have had an impact on them as leading names on the circuit return time and time again as well as contribute to their recent soundcloud series that was launched last year. www.soundcloud.com/nsaofficial
Andrew Weatherall is one DJ who has been regularly playing at NSA for over 15 years now after guesting at their 5th birthday party back in 2000. He described it as "a proper acid house party" after his recent appearance with Sean Johnston. SLAM are another example of world class DJs who return to play with Steve & Justin in the small basement which is worlds apart from the huge events they play week in week out.

These decisions are rewarded as the NSA parties always fill up and get going early rather than people just turning up for the main guest. It has also resulted in a loyal crowd that spans a couple of generations and is still supported by people who came along to the early parties as well as new people discovering it all the time. The people make  NSA and it has one of the friendliest crowds who really know there music and has been the birth place to a lot of great friendships.

Die Wilde Jagd - Drachenfels

High Summer. Sun is shining and the Bordello is open to newcomers, the latest being Slovenia’s Ichisan. After EPs on Internasjonal and Catune amongst others, he delivers via Bordello A Parigi a 12” that bulldozes barriers, Metamundas seamlessly slips between electro disco, braindance acid and gilded funk. Writhing 303 jerks are tempered by warm-hearted key changes for the title track, patterns ducking into playful frolics and lush deeps. And this desire to toy with convention is what characterises the EP. Bitter chords are sugared, machine grooves with nods to the dancefloors of the 70s, spaceflights with undertones of Chicago ; Ichisan brings all together in a 12” that is as unique as it is addictive, following Prins Thomas and Todd Terje's Path.

Emotional Rescue returns to the the work of remix specialists extraordinaire, Razormaid, with a special collection of their remixes of cold wave / dark wave synth band, Psyche. Featuring unreleased, re-edited and remastered versions of some of the bands most club-based tracks on one EP for the first time. 

Formed in 1982 in Edmonton, Canada by Darrin and Stephen Huss out of love of the new electronic sounds emanating out of Europe, Psyche soon forged their own path. Influenced by the industrial and post-punk sounds of bands like Killing Joke and Alien Sex Fiend, as well as the synth pop melodies of groups like Soft Cell and Yazoo, the brothers help precipitate the start of darker electronic "goth" sound. 

Following the success of their self released debut, Insomnia Theatre, ripples across the water in Europe led to it subsequently being picked up and rereleased by French label New Rose. Coming to Paris in 1986 to record the follow up, Unveiling The Secret, they heard that San Francisco based edit / remix protagonists Razormaid had created a re-edit of the title single for one of their own DJ tool compilations. 

Liking what they heard, a deal was strike allowing future tracks to come under the remixers scalpel and special versions created from the master recordings. With this came a new remix of Unveiling The Secret and also, early single, Prisoner Of Desire, with both only appearing on the increasingly sought after Razormaid DJ series. 

Impressed with the results, Joseph Watt was then commissioned to work his mixing desk skills on the band's follow up 12". Included here, Watt's classic "US Club Mix" of Eternal is the perfect marriage of Psyche's poppier elements with Razormaid's mastery of finding the groove. This is backed with the tougher, throbbing - and never released on 12" before - "Alcatraz Mix" retake of Prisoner Of Desire. 

On the reverse sees the collaboration between Psyche and Razormaid continue today with a specially reworked version of Watt's re-edit of Unveiling The Secret. Additional arranging by Darrin Huss sees the lyric and structure return to that of the original album version to unique effect. To close is the specially extended mix of Ecstasy from the Intimacy album - which itself was produced, edited and mixed by Joseph Wyatt - a version only ever released on Razormaid DJ Promo until now!

A1. Eternal (US Club Mix)

2017 saw the arrival of Pin Up Club at Bordello A Parigi with the cool three tracker "Friends of the Vortex". Now the Dutch partnership are back. This time a quartet of tracks has been selected to produce The Forever Machine. The bold bars of Friends of the Vortex, the romantic rushes and soundtrack silhouettes are all present with new elements being introduced to further develop a truly unique style. Breathy vocals and melancholy are countered by warm synthlines in the brooding “Valis” before the lonesome “Is There Anybody Out There?” blooms into a daringly bright work of disco dimensions. Opening the flip is the title piece. Smouldering, “The Forever Machine” burns with quivering chords that rise ever skyward on a column of tight rhythms as lyrics spiral ever upward. “A Deepness In The Sky” is a perfect illustration of Pin Up Club’s ability to transform burgeoning sombre sounds into tempered elation, rumbling strings and fragile percussion intermingling for a heady finale.

PREMIERE : Pin Up Club - Is There Anybody Out There ?

What an immense year it’s been for Alex ‘Kiwi’ Warren. After a string of beguiling cuts on the likes of Futureboogie, Disco Halal and 17 Steps, he returns to Correspondant with a fittingly beautiful full label debut. The cosmic results speak for themselves…
Four precision originals, one turbo charged remix: flavours and essences range from the rippled tubular arpeggio and Balearic pull of ‘Condor’ to the slo-mo struts and shimmering disco twinkles of ‘Tifock’ via the peppy Latino kick and harmonies of ‘Vicuna’. Complete with a total euphoric meltdown from the ever consistent Rex The Dog in the form of his strident trance-tickled re-thump of ‘Condor’, this is undoubtedly Kiwi’s biggest release to date… And it’s perfect for the colder club-bound season ahead. Enjoy!
