Why People War - Fundraiser for Ukraine vol. 1

WhyPeopleWar: Que Sakamoto - Kibou

WhyPeopleWar: Black Feeling - Love In The Net (Edit)

Something was on his tail and he didn't know what. There'd been no time to look back over his shoulder, the only focus was to keep up the pace and hope whatever it was didn't catch up with him. He had no idea what his destination was and the streets were becoming increasingly unfamiliar the further he ran. Gasping for breath he felt his body start to slow as his heart rate soared, he'd not though about what would happen when he'd run out of steam, but that time was closing in...

Eliezer loves a good collaboration. The Tel Aviv-based artist thrives when he joins forces with artists peddling a similar sound: the likes of Middle Sky Boom, Niv Ast and, more recently, Ackerman, under the guise of Deadly Weapons. Of course he releases solo too but for his next EP, a return to local label New Day Everyday, he's bringing more friends along for the ride - some old and some new. Affiliates Niv and Ackerman are back on board, joined by vocalists Vongold and Isadora and the minds behind Mexican label Duro, as well as NINAY who's the collaborator for our pick, a sludgy old school acid cut with a subtle Middle Eastern touch.

PREMIERE: Eliezer x NINAY - Acido Ramla [New Day Everyday]

With releases and remixes via Midnight People, Death Decay Magic and Nein Recordings, London-based DJ and producer MAN 2.0 continues to build a robust list of supporters as he emerges amongst the city’s ever-expending electronic landscape. 
Gaining plaudits from Rex The Dog, DJ Sundae and the late great Andrew Weatherall, 2022 looks set to be fruitful as he adds a new label to his catalogue with a debut appearance on La Mano’s newly-minted Sound Du Jour imprint. Delivering two fresh originals, his ‘Monsters’ EP also welcomes a pair of quality remixes provided by the mysterious Vyvyan and label boss La Mano himself.

Emerging from the shadows, Hesperius Draco returns to Frigio with a solo release for the first time since his 2016 album Actus Tragicus.

Directive V conjures up the magic of giallo horror, silver screen slashers and smoky synthlines, while exploring something altogether new. Tempered percussion and low bass-lines “introduce the 12” with “Lexploitation”. Cinematic influences percolate in the steady percussion and lonesome elation of “Memories of Sex Desire.” The mood changes on the flip with “Leaders In Space.” Guitar strings and breathy samples blend to create a leering late lounge track spiked with acid notes and vocoder bitterness. The finale brings something totally different. The gurgling acid line is amplified as Hesperius Draco unveils “Cyber Bondage.” Floor centric and machine steeped, stabbing synth-lines, rusted rhythms and an inchoate energy course through this finale to display yet another side of Alessandro Parisi’s sound.

Tracklist: 

A1. Lexploitation
A2. Memories of Sex Desire
B1. Leaders In Space
B2. Cyber Bondage

PREMIERE: Hesperius Draco - Cyber Bondage [Frigio Records]

Four new slabs of ZillaMusik heading in all possible demonic directions–hell’s bells chiming for an eternal assassin with teeth for eyes (“The Corinthian”); slow-mo sleigh rides through the night with frequent Girls Chat Room collaborator Babystar (“Yes She Dub”); an acid ode to a girl who never quite was (“Dora”); and a computer club call to arms for Nonexistence as lifestyle (“How I Became Invisible”). AND: Three remixes from freakish fellow travelers Flore, Lo Kindre, and Sara Dziri extending the Zilla sound into all possible moods, speeds, WAYS OF BEING.

Zillas on Acid - The Corinthian EP

Waste Edition is back with a new compilation called 429 and once more, 4 new and colorful tracks were carefully chosen by the Andalusian label. The E.P is intentionally made up of four creative and admired artists. Besides
and as is becoming the custom, these four diverse tracks are full of catchy melodies, touching arpeggios and powerful beats. Conscientiously, there is harmony between the four artists, Vortice Mortale, Imiafan, Asymetric80 and Undo & Casiowaves and without a doubt this compilation can show anyone no interest in trends and bet on music that the label loves and respects.

PREMIERE : Imiafan - Words

It tended to be the things you were told to stay away from that you ended up being most drawn to. They were seemingly out of reach, untouchable and forbidden - and usually for good reason. But most of the time it had the averse effect, if you weren't allowed them you only wanted them more, regardless of the consequences. It came with an element of challenge; a challenge most of us would rise to, especially when the rewards were too good to pass up...
