N. Cave - Tupelo (Thomass Jackson Rework) F.DOWNLOAD link in INFO

Sometimes, collaborations only make sense when you hear the results for the first time. This isn't one of those times. No, this was a match made in heaven from the get go. Punk attitudes and club aesthetics like peanut butter and chocolate. For our premiere off the 'Caraxes' EP, deviant duo Il Est Vilaine have turned in in a dark 'n' dirty slung out remix of 'Incognito', equal parts psych, dub and synth pop. I wish they'd played this one in school assembly instead of the sh*t hymns we had to sing along to.

Curses - Vengeance (Days Of Being Wild Remix)

@roam-recordings kicks off 2018 with a new release from its boss @jpsoul. After a big year of releases on labels such as @neinrecords, @emerald-and-doreen-rec, @logicalrecords, @meant, and Whiskey Disco JP Soul returns to Roam with two new dance floor originals that form the Bacchanal EP. The title track ‘Bacchanal’ is an Italo-Disco infused jam with an energetic synth groove backing a decadent vocal. The second original, ‘Might as Well’, is a low slung gritty chugger with a bit of funk and a lot of attitude.
The Bacchanal EP comes with a top notch cast of outstanding remixers. Up first is @hardwaybros aka Sean Johnston of A Love from Outer Space who adds a dark edge to ‘Bacchanal’ with a grinding heavy energy perfect for a big system. Italian legend @inflagranti brings a playful electro touch to ‘Bacchanal’ that can slip in easily to a variety of sets. Rounding out the EP is Argentinian artist @thomassjackson who delivers a wild west psychedelic guitar laden version of ‘Might as Well’.
All five tracks come together to form a unique and versatile EP that follows the Roam mantra - somewhere between disco and techno...a little left of center and always for the dance floor.

PRÈMIÉRE: JP Soul - Might as Well (Thomass Jackson Remix) [Roam Recordings]

There was a loud ringing noise in the corner of the room, he awoke abruptly to the rumble and rattle of machinery. This was a wake up call and a speedy eviction would soon follow... Last night had saw them dine out in style upon the fact that they might not return to the old abandoned stomping ground. It had been a humble home to many a light night wanderer across the years and soon it would be little less than a pile of rubble, bricks and wiring. The den was no more. 

Drugface are the first to appear on a new imprint launched by Thomas Von Party of Multi Culti fame. Party Central will focus on the unpolished, the rugged, the raw and the real. This is an imprint for the music alone by the people who love it most. Listen to a remix by SIAUBAS:

PREMIERE: Drugface - Wake Up Call (SIAUBAS Remix) [Party Central]

Autarkic - Heavy Dreamer 
https://LifeAndDeath.lnk.to/HeavyDreamer

Autarkic makes-up part of an unspoken alliance from Tel-Aviv, which is currently altering the state of contemporary house and techno music. Heavy Dreamer, the artist’s first, four-track outing on Life and Death, showcases much of what this bold movement is about, all while pushing it forward into progress.  

Ever-present tones of kraut and punk rock flow throughout the EP, beginning with Some Things To Keep, a pumping, warehouse floor-filler. Autarkic steps up to the mic, often re-amping and distorting his vocal delivery, placing it alongside finely-programmed keyboard riffs, tough drums and further psychedelia. Realistic Guru, the trippiest of the lot, is tailor-made for an early-morning DJ Tennis after-party excursion. Slowing down the pace on Powerhouse, Autarkic hints at moments of Bauhaus’ and Tones on Tail’s doom-and-dance pop, while offering-up a digital-only, stripped-down, bonus version. The title track stands as a testament to this new wave of artists, coming from the shores of Israel’s Mediterranean coastline. Bass, drums and guitar are recorded through bespoke boxes and presented through the lens of modernist club-culture. 

Life and Death 37 marks a moment in time - out June 29th!

Autarkic - Heavy Dreamer

Romain Azzaro come's back on his own imprint with a Rouge Mécanique Extended Play compiled with cinematic shaded instrumentals and a heady mix of post-punk, ambient and noise.  Bringing acoustic life to electronica, his signature sound rolls over the Ep with elegance and versatility.

Rouge Mécanique - Paradigm

Brainchild of Multi Culti A&R, Sascha Funke and Niklas Wandt were introduced by Dreems, who charted a course for the seasoned Berlin-based producer and funky multi-percussionist and singer. 

Wandt was just about to enter the scene forcefully with his collaborative 2LP with Wolf Müller and the debut single of his band Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge. In the icey cold of his warehouse rehearsal space, Funke had him record a variety of slapped, bowed and scratched percussions (congas, talking drum, prepared cymbals played with a bass bow) over his tracks. These first efforts were later expanded into joint sessions at Sascha's home studio and, within a few weeks, the journey reached it’s destination: Wibe strasse, Deutschland.

At first glance, they seem an odd couple: a techno veteran of almost thirty years meets a side-burned upstart socialized in Free Jazz and Krautrock. but the shared sonic influences come through in the hypnotic, dubbed-out sound, perhaps rooted in the close connection the two share to the Rheinland region in West Germany, Funke as part of the Kompakt family and Wandt by origin and socialization in the Cologne and Düsseldorf music scene centered around the Salon des Amateurs. Regional flavours, global appeal. Multi Culti, promoting local collaboration, one freaky record at a time.
