Twenty Year Weekend (Two Decades of Darkroom Dubs) is the twenty-anniversary label compilation compiled and curated by Glasgow's Silicone Soul. Rather than take the retrospective route, they mark twenty years since they launched one of the UK's most revered underground house music labels with a new collection of music from a fresh global roll call who like it deep, dark and a little twisted. 
  
Also marking a quarter century since Craig Morrison and Graeme Reedie released their first Silicone Soul 12-inch on Slam's esteemed Soma imprint, the compilation gets underway with the duo's own Fahrenheit 625 featuring Bitch Traxx originator Franklin Fuentes on a scene-setting killer groove declaring presciently, "I’ll take you there."

Thirteen further early-hours throbbers ignite with Italian future disco duo Phunkadelica unleashing malevolent chugger Phunkarama lashed with robotic vocals, metallic swells and early 90s bleeps and hoover tones. Mexican DJ/ producer Theus Mago, co-founder of the Duro label in 2015 with Moisees, then uncannily plugs into the metaphysical Darkroom Dubs current with Intensify, garnishing its groin-thwacking turbo groove with cascading melodic synth interplay. 
  
Lucky Luciano uncorks another top-notch percussive workout from Glaswegian Darkroom Dubs favourite Am$trad Billionaire, its dense, percussive groove mosaic slashed with ghostly sample shards. Hot on its heels are Berlin-based, Greek-German tour-de-force Brax Moody and Vamparela – aka Local Suicide - who duet with Wiener Planquadrat for some sexy rogue electro on Flashdance, splattered with lacerating Moroder-esque sequencer savagery. 

Next is the Factory City head-honcho Undo, fresh from his recent sublime house missiles on Darkroom Dubs, like Acid Summer and Aliens Go Home, who unleashes his ominous bass-driven acid monster, Vencejos. Before Nayan Soukie - aka Amount - rides the shimmering skyline surfer Figure Skating, packing the Darkroom Dubs trademark subterranean bass to the hilt. Then, the mysterious Subcisco conjures the ultimate funk party behemoth with Boiling Point evoking blaxploitation soundtracks in its aquatic stew of mangled strings and brass spectres hot-wired by contagious elastic bass. 
 
Parisian DJ/ producer Id!r, whose Darkroom Dubs missives include 2016's bass bin shredding Two Days In Hell, pulls off a typically dark, simmering groove beast on Haowie, topped with a gargling robo-vocal hook. Madrid-based Rotten City Records owner Alvaro Cabana then detonates 90s-style peak mayhem with Arde, casting its wailing power rhythm with crashing snare action. “Born in the 80s, raised by the 90s, lost in the 00s”, exclaims maverick techno-punk Pvlomo, immediately standing out with the sci-fi robot-gargling and Godzilla-like bass on My Little Vampire, his strength lying in lethally audacious twists and turns executed as the track powers mercilessly on into the darkness. 

Oslo-based duo Of Norway are the only act to feature on both anniversary compilations (bridged by 2015’s towering Black Desert Disco Cult 12-inch). Mixing glacial electro with spaced-out strings and eastern-tinged melodies, Always Almost is suitably auspicious. Istanbul’s Gunce Aci follows with Fallen Leaves, built on a juddering mutant electro lurch lathered with devilish voices, climaxing in the snarling acid disco thunder of Lead Boys, cultivated in Bogota’s Kaputt Club by enigmatic duo Nuclear Digital Transistor. Dense and pulsing with disembodied goth-like vocals, the track makes a suitably idiosyncratic finale for a compilation tangibly driven to breathe new life into Silicone Soul's manifesto to celebrate, nurture and push the music they love to play, make and support. 

Proper underground house music has always been about fearless electronic innovation with a human soul. An ethos crystallised in this spellbinding collection. - Kris Needs

Twenty Year Weekend  (Two Decades of Darkroom Dubs)

“Fauna & Flora” it’s now out in the world.

I wanted to include everything that I am as a musician and DJ in it, what I listen to daily and what shapes me as an artist. Conceptually I wanted to represent moments of light and darkness, perfection and imperfection, rawness and hyper-polishment. My aim was to illustrate this conflict between worlds and while making them coexist. 

An album for me it’s where you can experiment and try to show your full scope as an artist. Subconsciously it’s all there. I hope it is as challenging for you as it was for me. That evokes feelings, reactions, emotions, conversations and thoughtfulness. 

From now on it’s not mine anymore, it’s from you. It’s from the world, it’s from the ones that take time of their valuable life to listen. Own it, disown it, love it or hate it - it’s from me to you.

Thanks to everyone that directly or indirectly helped this project come together.
From all the collaborators to behind the scenes friends that worked towards this goal.

Dixon executive produced all the tracks in this album, he worked tirelessly like it was his own music. And in the end it became. In the end it is.
His ability to push new frontiers forward, unapologetically, without looking back or asking for permission  is a big inspiration and this album could only happen because of his openness for new sounds and challenges. He offered a home for this album to exist. I truly appreciate all you’ve done not only in this project but in life. Thank you Steffen, thank you Frank and Kristian (Âme).

Blindsmyth's second album "All That Fiberglass" received quite some love after its release in February 2022. Several of the titles found their way both into the sets of many DJs, as well as the playlists and charts on everybody's favourite platforms.

Should you previously have been following Connaisseur, you will doubtlessly already be awaiting the remixes which usually succeed an album on our imprint. A format we have loved since our beginnings and for which, in all those years, we were rarely disappointed by our choice of remixers. The same can again be said about the interpretations for Blindsmyth now, with his originals offering a leeway for remix possibilities. Since we have again gathered a rather diverse collection of remixes, we have decided to release them in four parts.

Leading the charge for „Refiberd Vol. 3" is Norwegian electronic duo Ost & Kjex, who deliver an unexpected banging remix of "Connection Error". Known for their fun-driven yet sophisticated approach to electronic music, Ost & Kjex infuse their remix with a demanding bassline and a relentless energy that will make dancefloors quake with excitement. With their unique blend of techno prowess and subtle pinches of electro and disco, Ost & Kjex's remix of "Connection Error" is a true standout.

Adding a dose of bouncy deep house vibes to the mix, Deep Aztec steps up with a remix of "Delete Your Cloud". The South African-based producer masterfully weaves together melodic basslines, organic percussions, and infectious vocal samples, creating a feel-good and danceable deep house rendition that will keep listeners moving from start to finish.

Last but not least, NORLYZ brings his unique touch to "Uberfahrt" with an electronica/breakbeats version that takes the original track to new heights. NORLYZ's remix is a mesmerizing journey through intricate beats, atmospheric noisy textures, and captivating melodies, seamlessly blending electronica and breakbeats into a sublime and immersive sonic experience.

Alessio Pagliaroli feat. Jinadu -  Distractions (Double F Sound & Rancido Remix)

PREMIERE - Alessio Pagliaroli feat. Jinadu - Distractions (Rancido Remix) (Background Label)

The original version and four intriguing remixes in different sonic landscapes. The release at times envelops you in darkness, while elsewhere, it offers hope for something brighter. The guitar-driven original version keeps the entire track tense, prompting contemplation on various aspects.

Mundo D presents their remix, maintaining the fierce vibe of the original version but staying true to their own style, which is quite pleasing.

ETANE's urban remix holds you somewhere between Italo Disco and EBM. The melodiousness is infused with hypnotic energy.

Tierra de Ovnis' remix, on one hand, is enchanting and serene, but on the other hand, it possesses an otherworldly power with a psychedelic undertone.

NQUA introduces a remix where the penetrating bass and insightful melodic sounds keep you in rhythm and don't let go.

In general, everything is as we love it!
