SPLASH 001 - Ghetto Bird

Dylan Dylan | 22.11.23

The 2024 of New Interplanetary Melodies begins with a new album and an EP signed by ABYSSY, the historical producer from Bologna who returns to Simona Faraone’s label after a few years since the release of his previous works, Magnetic Archive (NIM001, 2016) under his alias Soulomon, and Two Scorpions EP (NIM002, 2017) under the name ABYSSY, which marked NIM's adventure in the world of contemporary Italian independent record labels.
ABYSSY is the musical project that combines the Italian producer's previous experiences with his entire world of musical influences: from the proto-techno of The Electrifying Mojo to the heart of Detroit techno and Chicago house, from the minimalism of Philip Glass to the sound of the Berlin school of the '70s, embracing electro, the heavy use of synthesizers from the minimal wave, and the science-fiction lesson of Kraftwerk. All of this encompasses the territories of '70s and '80s NY black music, drawing from funk, disco, boogie, seminal hip-hop, and breaks. It's a flow of eclecticism and hybrid energies that we also find in his latest works, EXTRA META LP + EXTRA META EP, an album and an EP that are intrinsically connected to each other and have multiple shades.

The album starts with the ecstatic Samba Temperado (A1), which takes us back to the glory days of German Kraut while Mars Trax (A2), Acid Rio (A3), and Quantuum (A4) catapult us into the depths of refined and twisted Detroit techno.

The B side opens with the beautiful Vectrex (B1), a track with a New York's disco-not-disco flavour, followed by the electric house music of Mixed Feeling (B2), a true gem for enthusiasts of more outsider sounds. With Italodoppler (B3), the arrangements become decidedly more '80s and sugary but have a sure grip on the most demanding dancefloors. We could consider ourselves satisfied, but ABYSSY and NIM also offer us two bonus tracks (only in digital format) that further enrich the spectrum of sounds presented in EXTRA META LP: the swirling ambient of Supernova (DGTL1) and the carefree proto-house extravaganza of Ordnateur Numerique (DGTL2).

The journey with ABYSSY's music continues with EXTRA META EP, a natural continuation of the album, starting with the over 14-minute crescendo of C3C6 (A1), a true intergalactic techno journey. Lower Milky Way (B1) nods towards the most elegant Italo disco sounds, and the EP concludes with the granular atmospheres of Busy Line (B2). Just like the album, this EP will also be enriched with two bonus tracks in digital version: the sharp electro of Choices (DGTL1) and the lo-fi house of Drumatic (DGTL2).

EXTRA META LP and EXTRA META EP will be available from February 22nd and March 14th, 2024, respectively, on New Interplanetary Melodies' Bandcamp and in all the best record stores.

"Extra Meta was born from the passion for a certain electronic sound ecosystem of the '70s and '80s, a journey that embraces minimalism of the "Berlin school" and extends to the beating heart of the soul/funk of Detroit techno. A journey into the abyss of emotions and the unknown of the human spirit, as the deep darkness of the ocean intertwines with the unfathomable darkness of space. An invitation to explore new sound boundaries, to let yourself be lulled by waves that repeat without ever repeating themselves and to immerse yourself in the reflective mystery of discovery and of evolution, a dance in darkness and light, and where the abyss of emotion merges with the infinity of imagination: ABYSSY."

Free Shelter invites the Scottlands supreme Ph.d in Progressive House, Belters4U, for their 44th guest mix on Ida Radio. 

Some of you (read many) have probably heard of this niche instagram page called Belters4U, yeah? Thought so. The page is run by Alan Gilles and serves as a forum of sorts to showcase and educate people on both old a new music. For music lovers, by a music lover. The page itself has grown to a community in a sense, and as a follower you’ll know why. 

Besides the aforementioned page, Mr. Belters also runs a club night and is about to launch a label. With the success of the instagram page, one can only assume there’s more greatness to bestow. 

But now, without further ado; The Doctor is in session, you’re his patient and Progressive House is the cure
