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…

[BM090] MANUEL COSTELA - Cheer Up

Electric Embrace

"We are entering an increasingly dangerous period in our history. Our genetic codes still carries the selfish and aggressive instincts that were a survival advantage in the past."- Stephen Hawking
Duro records presents Etcha, an artist already getting love from Dixon and Ame and who is also getting some serious love from Lithuanian maestros the Roe Deers, who have taken the vocal and placed it over a spooky unsettling track which highlights the darkest nature of mankind, while also trying to reassure us that it will be okay (but I am an optimist!) 
The Roe Deers have twisted up Etcha's B Side offering, Stephen Hawking into a paranoid creeper which sneaks into your room at 3am as you sleep to whisper your darkest thoughts into your ear, just to dissapear as you wake up in a cold sweat.
Just as well really, because you should be out finding your local sweatbox or warehouse rave, anywhere playing this because you should be out dancing to this one.

PREMIERE | Etcha - Stephen Hawking (Roe Deers Remix) [Duro] 2018

Andrew Claristidge teams up once again with the mysterious Workerpoor for a new EP on the ever-eclectic Night Noise Music. The release was written between their studios in la Bretagne, Paris and Berlin, and comes backed with remixes from David Carretta, Cristiano Roberto, The Soviet Union and Tales of Voodoo. Claristidge was formerly part of Acid Washed and has toured the world with his multi-faceted sounds that veers from pop to wave to techno. Workerpoor, meanwhile, has been at the heart of the dark electro scene on labels like Zone with artists like Arnaud Rebotini, The Hacker and Gesaffelstein. Their latest EP makes use of analog synths, drum machines and field recordings from the lake of Callac de Bretagne, so brims with life.
The fantastic first track ‘Strength Training’ is a dark, deviant, electro-wave burner that soundtracks a cyborg disco. It’s raw, rugged and futuristic and perfect for club deployment, while the second track ‘Slow Uppercut’ is a slow, ambient, robotic piece redolent of Boards Of Canada that will sink you into a cosmic abyss.
First remixer is legendary French artist David Carretta who opts for crashing hits and slapping drums that are dazzling and distorted in equal measure. Cristiano Roberto is a new alias from electro & disco mainstay Rodion and here he cooks up a psychedelic slow burner that will flip you inside out. Synth disco don The Soviet Union serves up an intergalactic workout of pixel thin synths and punk-funk drums that are fantastically visceral and direct. Last of all, Tales of Voodoo — a London party and artist that transcends musical boundaries—layers up swirling pads and trippy colours, crisp hits and rumbling bass into something strangely joyous.
This is another devilishly good package of modern disco from Night Noise.

This is the original A Visitor From Another Meaning remix of Machinegewehr's 'Abhinanda' from 2012 with female vocals by Gees Voorhees. The original vocals were replaced by Fred Ventura in 2013 and this rework of 'Abhinanda' became 'Neon Light'. This resulted in a split EP: Machinegewehr/A Visitor From Another Meaning with Fred Ventura and became Machinegewehr's debut record which was released on Bordello a Parigi in 2014. After 8 years the original remix with its original vocals by Gees Voorhees has been excavated and so here it is in its full beauty...get it here:
