Iron Curtis & Johannes Albert - Something Unique (Iron Curtis 63067 Hotfix)

Be it known that Matthew Herbert and Robag Wruhme have broken the internet for the longest-track title ever.

Matthew Herbert, oh so absurd,
With the London Contemporary Orchestra he stirred,
“The Rider (Not The Horse)” he penned,
Robag Wruhme, a name to comprehend.

Their music, a whimsical, wild discourse,
Intricacies galore, an imaginative force,
A symphony of chaos, a cacophonous spree,
In this sonic adventure, there’s no guarantee.

Notes and beats, a rollercoaster ride,
In this surreal composition, they confide,
A musical journey with no remorse,
Matthew Herbert and Robag Wruhme, of course!

PREMIERE : Love Ape - Timetravelling

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

Our annual compilation is celebrating its 5th year of Bonkers Music uniting producers and artists from around the world. Featuring: Nick Hanzo & Heidenreich Ft das Molekuel, JGR & Yahaira, Lebollet, Ledi Cannit, Kubebe, Ludviq & Mandruvá, Yotam Russo and Anastasia Zems.

Cover Art “Lost Garden” by Michael Rozen (@m.rozen). His paintings grapple with worsening impacts of humans on our ecosystems, bearing witness to a range of psychological responses to climate change.

Head honcho of Belly Dance Services Nick Hanzo unites his talent with Heidenreich and das molekuel, Drehmoment leads us through a trippy journey of deep vocals, massive percussions and psy pads, definitely a great track to start the VA.

With releases on Calypso, Lille based Feines Tier and Hardfist, , together the great Kubebe debuting on Bonkers with “Kenya West” a slow paced banger, with a unique combination of driving synths and mind blowing basslines.

Madrid based JGR & Yahaira, join forces once again to deliver “Galactica Oriental”, bringing some lightness to the compilation, with soft and delightful percussions, driving mind synths and shiny nuances.

Releasing for the second time with us the very talented Anastasia Zems, now based in Lisbon, Portugal, brings “Shadow Theatre” a track that shows a heavy bass line, acid leads, rough vocals and a hypnotic sequence of synths .

Hailing from Madrid, part of Honest Allies the DJ, Producer and Visual artist Lebollet, delivers “Jindama” a Kraut Rock inspired track, with some guitars riffs mixed with a chubby bass line and some organic drums.

“Encantamiento” by Ledi Cannit is a slow pace, Indie Dance track which exudes an enchanting atmosphere, highlighted by vocals that feels like a dark incantation. This piece is a departure from Ledi’s usual style, showcasing her versatility as an artist. The song’s essence leans towards the gloom, casting a mysterious and enigmatic aura.

Head of the label Ludviq, join forces with the amazing Brazilian producer Mandruvá, “Tantalus” is a mix of some recordings from British Columbia landscapes, some raw vocals recorded by Ludviq, a bunch of trippy percussions and of course a little bit of madness.

To close the VA, having the DJ, producer and live performer from Tel Aviv, Yotam Russo brings “Short on the Liquor” a gap between Indie, Disco, and Rave filled with Rock n Roll soundscapes and Punk attitude, which is the representation of his signature sound.

PREMIERE: Yotam Russo - Short on the Liquor [Bonkers Music]

French-born Amsterdam-based electronic duo Parallelle have been turning heads with their culturally 
inspired “A Day In” project, which explores sounds and scenes from around the world whilst aiming to 
emulate each location through many of its individual characteristics and signature instruments. 
Following the first two releases, A Day In “Essaouira” and “Real de Catorce”, the duo now tackle a wider 
radius with the next release, celebrating several locations in their “Asia Pacific” edition. Captivating 
locations, accompanied by authentic feature artists on each track, Parallelle take us to Fiji, Java, Osaka, 
Bengaluru and Bangkok through varied genre mediums, including House, Minimal, Techno and even 
Breaks. 
As has been the case with previous releases in the series, each track forms around Parallelle’s travels to a 
specific location, all of which have been filmed and documented throughout the process. In Fiji, they 
participate in a traditional Kava Ceremony in Navala Village before venturing upstream the rivers of Pacific 
Harbour to jam with the Sabeto Choir. Java met them with abundant flora, warm smiles, and endless 
temples as Indonesia’s courteous, cultured people introduced the duo to their heritage and taught them 
to play the iconic Gamelan. 
Osaka took Parallelle to Minoo Park before they dived straight into the city centre, recording the sounds 
of exquisite crafts, mouth-watering food and the many traditional instruments of Japan whilst jamming 
with TRA Innovation, who also feature on the track. Bengaluru offered the chance to explore the traditional 
South Indian Carnatic music with Chik Ballapur musicians playing Nadaswaram, Thavil 
(percussion), learning about the Yakshagana dancers, and much more before ending their journey in 
Bangkok, visiting a children’s music school and a nearby community village then taking on an exhilarating 
Thai Boxing training session before indulging in its famous street food culture and jamming with Thai artist 
duo Nisatiwa, who are also credited on the record. 
If you’re looking for a snapshot of Asia Pacific with your eyes closed, vividly absorbing a fusion of all the 
cultural sounds and energy it offers, this latest instalment of “A Day In” and Parallelle have it nailed. 
Parallelle’s “A Day In” Asia Pacific Edition is available from 8th December 2023 via Klassified.
