Since 2019, the "From disco to disko" label based in Bastia, Corsica, has been offering its own vision of "dance music" without borders of styles or formats. This new release « EV004 », a UFO for the dance floor halfway between an edit and a remix, marks the arrival on the label of the duo Acid Child, based in Manchester in a very free adaptation of this track from 1981 by the group Foreigner.

INCOMING : Teemon & Poomba - Will never mind feat. Antinoë (Original mix) #MusicaCavernicola
BUY : https://www.beatport.com/label/musica-cavernicola/72377
Release date : 2022-12-16

Teemon & Poomba, a Madrid duo that is dominating the booths of the capital, signs this new reference of Musica Cavernicola. Three original tracks that, on the one hand, display the particular style of their creators, and on the other, show their possibilities and skills.

Nine Bad Decisions feat. Antinoë is in charge of opening the release to which it also gives its name. In just a short time, the nature of the track is made clear. The Indie Dance sounds, the eighties boxes, the arpeggiated bass, the subtle and enveloping pads and the impressive voice of the vocalist from Madrid, Antinoë, do the rest.

Phunkadelica, one of the most fashionable duos in Europe, has done one of the two remixes that accompanies this song. Making use of a very personal lead and boasting the subtlety, elegance, care and common sense that characterizes them, they manage to elevate the track to a completely new dimension.

The other remix is by SOSANDLOW’s, the owners of the label. This time the duo have opted for more club terrain, giving the rhythm more aggressiveness and weight. Special mention goes to the saturated basses and the monophonic arpeggios in delay that, within an acid sound framework, introduce the theme in a spiral.

The release continues with the original track Will Never Mind feat. Antinoë. On this occasion, Teemon & Poomba prefer to give us a more timeless sound with a long-term development in which the synth melody plays a fundamental role.

Finally, there is The Blast, an absolutely captivating track that is full of personality. The devastating bass, the arpeggiated melodies and the melody combined with the lead are a trap you fall into to let yourself go without resistance to the afterlife.

Mental Decline

After Hours

The Back Rooms

This is lockjaw, been inside too long
This is lockjaw, been inside too long

Thunder it makes my head hit the, floor
Pounding in like my fist at a, door
Separate isolat-ed

There’s a terror that comes with being so, bored
Crises don’t wake me up any-more
Separate isolat-ed

This is lockjaw, been inside too long

Voices detuned just shout at the, wall
The further ahead the further to, fall
Definite article - mine

Face to the window lost in the, hall
Hope it would seem is nothing at, all
Faces turned skyward are, blind

Thunder it makes my head hit the, floor
Pounding in like my fist at a, door
Separate isolat-ed

There’s a terror that comes with being so, bored
Crises don’t wake me up any-more
Separate isolat-ed

The picture is perfect words for the, score
They tell me it’s what the future is, for
Separate isolat-ed

Nothing is real that wasn’t be-fore
Birds are all quiet the wolf’s at the, door
Outside the cinema

This Is Lockjaw

Stuck in the mud is a post punk track which draws influence from industrial and EBM. The song highlights the harsh realities of teenage hood and feeling out of place, longing for a sense of belonging.

Still

Husband-wife duo Certain Times are a synthpop project based in Brooklyn, NY with a long musical history in the Atlanta music scene– members of 2010s garage-rock band Carnivores and more recently Nathaniel producing records for Sub Pop band Omni. 

https://www.theransomnote.com/music/premieres/premiere-certain-times-naturally-nothing/

In Certain Times, when the world was shrouded in an eerie stillness, an inexplicable phenomenon known as the Double Phantom gripped the land. It was a phenomenon where, naturally, nothing seemed real anymore.

The Double Phantom was an occurrence, casting a disorienting spell upon everything it touched. Shadows became tangible, whispers echoed twice, and reality appeared as a blurred reflection of itself.

In the heart of this perplexing enigma, a lone wanderer found themselves trapped. Their existence felt fractured, caught between two worlds, forever teetering on the edge of comprehension. Time lost meaning, and their own reflection became a haunting apparition.

In their struggle to escape the clutches of the Double Phantom, the wanderer discovered a hidden strength—a resilience born from the depths of their own uncertainty. Through sheer determination, they pieced together the fragments of their fractured reality, defying the unnatural forces that sought to engulf them.

And in the end, the wanderer emerged from the Double Phantom, forever changed. They carried with them the scars of an otherworldly encounter, a testament to their unwavering spirit amidst the chaos of certain times when naturally, nothing could be taken for granted.

Guy Maayan - Trobar feat. Roy Lavie [Sol Selectas]

Chansons for the replicates. Hymns for the algorythmed. Operatic minimal wave. Spoken words. Otherworldly electronica. Oh pop, Oh techno. Oh Pose Dia. Now on R.i.O. simulating herself on an album full of weeping synthlines, melding melodies, unreeling heatre between the notes, camouflaging in fashion and rhyme. Impulsive, destructive, yet so perceptive, gently
repetitive.

“Simulate Yourself” is her second album since “Front View,” released in 2020 on Bureau B. Now the Hamburg-based filmmaker, DJ and musician Helena Ratka, aka Pose Dia, brings a notion of digital archeology. Nine otherworldly chanting cold blooded Lieder and tracks, manic, longing for the real in the unreal. The matter of her poetic-abstract lyrics is
rhizomatic, linking psychological “Suspiria” fantasy with sociology, media theory and all that never obsolete post-structuralism. Hyperreality for the hyped.

Fully illusionistic. Wrapped in touching airs, drilling into cold waving Risiko spheres. X-mal rotating towards novel corners, shading light on old ones. Track make-up transforms into lacquered songs. Fog and fire. Night and light. Hairspray and cigarettes. Pose Dia transfers fine-tuned dissatisfaction to all those fully satisfied. Welcome to the other side of the Ocean.

The mighty C.A.R. returns to Ransom Note Records with splendid new single, Anzu, for another excursion into hitherto uncharted territory. Their first new music on Ransom Note Records since the 2020 LP, Crossing Prior Street, C.A.R. (aka Chloé Raunet + Joni Green on live duties) treats us to an Avant Pop masterpiece, which conceals a somewhat insalubrious undercurrent...

Anzu is a song drenched in personal history, written about bygone days, when life revolved around a now lost pub in a sewn-up pocket of town. References might scream from the sleeve, but we’re not swimming in nostalgia. This is a deceivingly dark song. Any sweetness chased at the time ain’t to be sugar-coated.

On the flip side, R$N Records and Bytes regular GLOK (a.k.a. Andy Bell of Ride and Oasis fame) has reworked Anzu into an utterly filthy little basement club number. Dripping in sordid fervour, the wonky bass line arrives like a shot the chest cavity, leaving us a little breathless at first. The sheer force of the forward momentum of it soon has us back on our feet though, as we’re propelled onto the dance floor, where this remix has very firmly made its home.

Available on super limited edition 7”, clear vinyl (only 50 copies pressed!), they come with an exclusive, hand printed tote bag, fanzine, poster AND badge pack at a bargain price of just £35.. One for all the collectors out there!

C.A.R - Anzu [R$N39]

There was more than meets the eye when it came to the city. For strange wonders lurked in places unexpected. Behind closed doors there was music to be made, a new kind of noise which would soon travel the world bringing hope and a sense of resistance to the chosen few who sought to hear it.

For this was like nothing which had ever come before. How could it be after all the great city had been through? The trials and tribulations were rooted in the DNA of the music itself. Detroit, a belongingness to the sound of a city which has burnt its bridges and risen from the ashes once more.

Ivaylo is set to release a new EP on Lab Cleaning Jams, a record which features a rugged slice of Detroit Electro Funk, reminiscent of the old school era. It is rounded off with a remix from Christian Engh.
