2023 and Frigio return to one of their flagship collection series, Frigio Allstars. This fifth installment marks a new venture for the label with a spread of different styles explored by old friends and new monikers.

One fresh pseudonym is Starhawk & Friends, known from Vol. 1 as I-Land Beat, who offers up a broken beat belter guaranteed to put crooked smiles on faces. Returnees include Rambal Cochet with the rap infused elegance of “Metacortex” while Sons of Traders digs deep into dissonance and distortion for “I Don’t Inspire Hope.” Jack Carel is back after his appearance on Vol. 4 with two tracks that range from the hiphop inspired strings and snares of “4 Seasons” to genre bending daredevilry of “Friday Rocks." Delivering a stripped back New Beaty beast, Neud Photo returns to the series with “Spark Knock” which bares its teeth through a haze of static and angular melodies. Warped patterns and lost language are the chosen tools for a hypno-trip from Textbeak Defa Voctave before the industrial undercurrents of Death Posture (Daniel Holt to some) leads us out of a 12” that explores a spectrum of sounds across its eight tracks.

Spark Knock

PREMIERE: Neud Photo - Spark Knock [Frigio Records]

If we love anything here at WE FORFEIT, it’s the blind following of ritual and tradition. With this in mind, the lads roped in their good mates Mora and Leonid for the yearly pilgrimage to the Radio Relativa to get some recording done.
June. 15. 2023. With the cruellest of Madrid’s heat yet to come, three bags of records were packed for a back to back session that guaranteed backs would be left slick with sweat. 
A smorgasbord of vinyl treats is on offer, served from the dripping finger tips of Robbie, Miguel and Paul. Hard to get a tracklist together for this, bit of cobbling will be attempted as there are some real beauts in here.
Thanks again to Miguel and Paul for coming down, great fun had and hopefully we’ll all get to do it together again soon.
Un abrazo!

Radio Relatvia #38 - Mora B2B Leonid

The machine was oppressive and loud, it watched from the skies above, like a great overseer from the beyond. The people down below knew not why or who was behind the bulking beast but they could remember the sunshine and the life that had existed before. That, they would never forget.

It was always there, watching their every move as they came and went. It was a deconstruction tool, designed to break apart the pieces of a society which was once rife with colour and care. Now it was all gone.

It knew everything, the de-constructor. It was everything.

That was all.

Valencia based record label Frigio are set to release a remix package which features alternate versions of tracks from CLOCK DVA. This one is a hard hitting electro focussed EP which is built for dark, sleazy rooms. The Atom ™ remix was the stand out cut for us with a riotous saw driven synth and dark moody, alluring vocals.
