Title: Augmented Dreams 
Cat#: CCS130
Format: Vinyl 2xLP - Digital
Release date: 13.10.2023

Short Info: 

Alan Abrahams aka Portable returns to the label in fine form with his latest full-length LP, Augmented Dreams. The title refers to the use of everyday technological advancements to achieve what were once only dreams or visions of past generations, making this an explorative concept album that is equal parts not-too-distant science fiction, and about as topical as it gets.

From the gorgeous opening string layers of “The Pull Of Time” to the classy 4/4 grooves of “Begin Again” or lead single “Guiding Me”, into the apropos and angular sci-fi broken beat feels of “Parallax” and “The Color Of Static”, fitting Detroit-influenced love taps like “Becan” and “The Mycorrhizal Network”, the politically-inspired “Are We Not Above It?” referencing the lingering effects of colonization featuring NiQ from South Africa on vocals and L_cio from Brazil on flute, through to the futurist pop elegance of the dreamy duet featuring Alexei “I Need You” and the conclusive titular track, it is clear that both the in-depth concept and immaculately-crafted musical content in Portable’s inimitable style are balanced in significance and expressive effect. This also functions as a timely statement in itself, as today’s iceberg-tip evolution of AI technology is currently impending over the arts and many of our existing realities. 

This ten-song album serves as an imaginative yet hyperrealist narrative on how humanity’s fascination with and reliance on ever-advancing technology defines the times we find ourselves in, while the skillful sonic displays and present-era production techniques along with Abraham’s knack for timeless emotive songwriting offer up this solid soundtrack for the ages.

Alessio Collina all night long @ Bodycode (Parma) 13.12.2024

Pour ce numéro 159, on a le plaisir d'avoir l'enregistrement du dernier set de I/D alias @marcellogiordani pour Bodycode à PWCC (Parmes) ! Fondateur du label "Italo Deviance" qui a l'époque proposait un blog plein d'édits disco et italo, Marcello est l'une des figures clés de la scène Disco italienne en plein essor.
Marcello a commencé son parcours artistique dans les années 1990 en Italie, au plus fort du phénomène House Music. Il était un habitué des salons du disque, toujours à la recherche de vinyles Disco de style américain, amassant une vaste collection.
Au début des années 2000, il a développé une passion pour les vinyles Italo Disco et a commencé à les collectionner, souvent pour quelques centimes seulement.
En 2008, il a fondé un blog appelé Italo Deviance avec pour mission de promouvoir les morceaux et les versions les plus obscurs de la musique dance italienne du début des années 1980.
De 2011 à 2023, il fait partie du duo Marvin & Guy, qui est depuis devenu Circle Point Circle. Au début de 2024, Marcello a repris le travail sur son label, Italo Deviance Music, en se lançant dans un effort de rebranding.
Cette nouvelle phase explore la musique électronique underground sans se limiter à un genre spécifique, en découvrant et en produisant des artistes talentueux aussi bien en format numérique que vinyle. Il ne met pas particulièrement l'accent sur leur buzz sur les réseaux sociaux, se concentrant uniquement sur la musique.
