This song is about "Soldiers for Hire", Raincoats are far from the concerns these men and women worry about.   Bravery, Skill, and Intensity are broadstroke traits that are engrained in every one of them I would have to say...  I know one who has valiantly and proudly served in US Army Rangers as well as the Finnish Army and brother I know you are reading this.  I know you will return after each "hire", I know "SISU" will show you the way:). HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS THIS ONE THAT COMES FROM MY SOUL...

Erdi Kahraman - Smile Select # Custom Discotech -

Let them believe in themselves and become helpless, like children. Because weakness is great, and strength is negligible. When a person is born, he is weak and flexible, and when he dies, he is strong and callus. When a tree grows, it is gentle and flexible, and when it is dry and hard, it dies. Callousness and strength are the companions of death. Weakness and flexibility - express the freshness of being. Therefore, what is hardened, couldn't win. 
Berlin's Malka Tuti celebrating 5 years of of existence and on this occasion releases this wonderful compilation, in our turn we were instructed to premiere this unreleased version by Gordon Pohl to Die Orangen’s Mersey River. The original track was released on their sold out debut LP on Malka Tuti. The LP was followed by a remix pack Saft 1 in 2018, hosting an epic 16 minute version by Gordon Pohl on the B Side. According to MT the label always wanted to find a way to release this version as well, but they were waiting for the right moment. Clearly a 5 year celebration was enough to do the trick.

Freeride Millenium welcome Jerome Slesinski and Jon Arnold aka Super Drama for their label debut in the shape of three track EP ‘XoXo’, which comes accompanied by a stellar remix from Ervadoce.
London-based Super Drama have rapidly gained momentum amongst the LGBTQ electronic music scene since making their debut two years ago, releasing material on their Super Drama Records imprint, Moshi Moshi and Discotexas. The duo have featured as guests on Rinse FM with Joshua James, NTS and Haai’s Worldwide FM show, whilst hosting their very own club nights at Dalston Superstore in London and at Freeride Millenium’s label party in Stuttgart, Germany.
Super Drama continue to build their impressive discography by making their debut on Freeride Millenium with the stellar ‘XoXo’. The record is backed by a remix from Ervadoce, which is the alter ego of Paraiso man Shcuro, and his partner Maria Amor, who is also one half of A.M.O.R. with Violet from naive. Our today choice is Ervadoce’s remix which leads us down a darker path, combining deep and captivating vocals with eerie synths and dazzling tones over a mid tempo rhythm to deliver a truly nebulous production.

PREMIERE #964 | Super Drama - D List (Ervadoce Remix) [Freeride Millenium] 2020

Israeli producer Eliezer drops 3 cuts of post-punk influenced disco on Days Of Being Wild. 
—

A prominent figure of the underground music scene in Tel Aviv for more than 20 years Eliezer is no stranger to Days Of Being Wild, having released the neurotic and anxious “With Screening” with his partner in crime Middle Sky Boom, back in 2016.
Since then Eliezer has been rather busy, releasing records with Eskimo, Unterman, Prins Thomas imprint Internasjonal (as Midnight Dicers) and La Dame Noir. 

His latest EP Haifa Mafia, released amid world wide confinement and paranoia on your favourite purveyor of disco noir doesn’t stray from his cold wave tendencies - pretty fitting for such dark and strange times. 

All cuts presented here are very much in the Israeli post punk/ wave sound we grew to like. 
There is minimalism and elegance in Eliezer production as well as a nod to retro industrial and electronic music from the early 80’s such as Cabaret Voltaire or Front 242. 
But with a very contagious exotic twist. 
The three tracks on offer here are constructed on repetitive and hypnotic disco bass, dusty percussions and oriental, languid guitar lines all colliding to create an airy and pulsating sonic landscape of dancing melancholia.
Children voices, whispers cascading through echoes, cryptic messages and vaporous synths contribute to the mix and create a dark, moody almost cinematic atmosphere enhanced by the general slow tempos of the tracks.

Closing the EP is an even slower slice of melancholy techno, Belgian producer Strapontin’s remix of Crown Zero chugs along the darkest alleys of clubbing with its claps lost in echoes and guitar trapped in tar, like these dreams where you run but feel like you are standing still, or where you try to escape but never seem to reach the exit.

Happy to have Phred Noir on the Play Pal Series with a very personal two hour mix he's recorded for the occasion.

He's been behind one of the finest labels we know, La Dame Noir Records, for the last 10 years, being co-founder of it alongside Relatif Yann, and also of La Dame Noir Bar & Club.

They've counted with many great artists through out these years, both on the label and at the club, where he's had the opportunity of sharing decks with Maceo Plex, Pachanga Boys, Chloé, Andrew Weatherall, Ivan Smagghe or Michael Mayer just to name a few.

He's been playing for more than two decades and as he defines it himself, from Balearic Disco to Slow Techno via Dark Disco, from the seaside to the latest dance floor, between 100 & 120 bpm, being 110 where he enjoys the most.

As a producer, he's teamed up with Amevicious under the alias 'La Dame Noir' releasing music on Meant, Factor City or Blindetonation and also with Remain from Meant Rec. under the aka 'Slow Porn' with releases on My Favourite Robot and La Dame Noir.

Enjoy the mix!
