Ivan de la Rouch & Javier Busto - Running back (Telesketch Remix)

PREMIERE: Arthur Johnson - On The Request Line [Duro]

Released on Kaputt.wav records 🇨🇴 
Compilation vol.III

Year 2020 was with no doubts a crucial moment for many. A time were the non-stopping agony of human activity would be stopped with no previous warn and when the lights did went down for an indefinite time. For the first time any human could cultivate empathy from a common episode and dim any personal interest in the hope of driving society in new era of deep reflection and a common dance, again, just like all our ancestors did it thousands of years ago around nature and around the fire.

This compilation sets room for a ritual in the world's commong tongue (music) and the many dialects of its artists, brighten up by the flames of connection in the common celebration of music and tales in the woods. Look for the fire, follow the fire. The Bonfire.

Tushen Raï  & Neskeh - Tsé Tsé / [Kaputt.wav]

Pre-rave jitters had set in; her stomach was doing somersaults and her legs felt like jelly. These feelings were fuelled by excitement and anticipation, but she still had no idea what to expect of the evening, it was all completely new to her. Friends had told her about the wonders of these underground parties but she really had to see it for herself, at the moment it felt like an imaginary utopia, a place too perfect to actually exist...

Swedish producers Viktor and Henrik are the minds behind Elfenberg. Having released music on the likes of Bordello A Parigi, Wrong Era, Trampoliner and Rotten City Records, to name a few, the pair now take their creations to Barcelona's Playground Records for A Cow Called Belle. Harking back to the rave and acid house sounds of the early 90s, the three original cuts marry rolling grooves and squelchy, driving synth lines, which are pushed further into trance-inducing territory by Iñigo Vontier and Juan MacLean who take care of the remixes.

PREMIERE: Elfenberg - Ravers Association (Juan MacLean Remix) [Playground Records]

Our well-received 'Muy Duro' VA series reaches its ninth edition loaded with acid sounds, hypnotic percussions, booming basses, blips, noises and a lot of energy. For this edition we have the pleasure to present music from Enzio Etchaberri, Theus Mago & Coast2c, Zillas On Acid, Mike Sacchetti & Chas, and ZEA.

The compilation opener is "Vow" by Enzio Etchaberri also known as Etcha. A slow, fat and frisky cut. The percussion takes you up and down, while the atmosphere feels like being inside a sound blender. It’s followed by the collaboration between Theus Mago and the modular synthesis crack, Coast2c. “Dead Piano” a track influenced by rave music and acid techno, with a resonant bass, sharp percussions and an obscure and deep melody.

The North American duo, Zillas On Acid, presents "Proteus", a slow and brutal cut loaded with funky psychedelic sounds, reverberating vocals, a hypnotic bass line and synthesizers born from the void. "The Revenge of Los Tropicales", the collaboration between Mike Sacchetti & Chas, a somniferous and latin cut filled with percussions and psychotropic keyboards that will make you fantasize. Closing the VA is ZEA with "Generator Machine", a powerful and edged cut with phantasmagoric synths and fuzzy vocals out of a science fiction movie.

Muy Duro Vol. 9

Proteus

Zillas On Acid - Proteus (Original Mix)

Our latest edit comes from our very own @haryshanthi and is a tribute to Vijaykanth, who passed away on 28th Dec 2023. The male vocalist is Mansoor Ali Khan and female vocalist is from Swarnalatha, a career spanning almost 22 years, she recorded over 10,000 songs in many Indian languages. 
 
Inspired from his 100th film “Captain Prabhakaran” that was released to much fanfare in 1991 and earned him the moniker “Captain” among Tamil Eelam all around the world. This nickname not only reflected his acting skills but his compassions towards introducing young artists from marginalised communities, philanthropic activities and most importantly his ability to stand up against atrocities committed by the British and Srilankan Govt. led by Rajpaksha. 
 
His Legacy encompasses major contributions to Tamil Nadu’s political and social landscape and his courage to utilise his privileged position to help those who were displaced as refugees in Tamil Nadu’s Mandapam Camp. 
 
Vijaykanth in his own words. “The Srilankan tamils are Orphan’s. The aerial bombings of Tamil area’s between 1983 - 2008 without any concern for civilian life is an act of no civilised state resorts too”. 
 
This is a homage to a human in the world of Ego’s, who stood and raised his voice for all the Tamil’s around the world when India (home to largest Tamil population) abandoned them and the British “the creator of this misery” showed their hypocritical side by reserving the term Liberation and Genocide only for white lives.

PREMIERE – Daniel Monaco – La Guerreira Araba (Tulioxi remix) (Italo Moderni)

03 Autarkic - Keyboard Riot

A Story of Italo Disco, Indie Dance, Slow Motion, New Wave, Breakbeat ...is now starting.

INCOMING : Luca Dell'Orso - Common Occurrence ( CosmoVitelli Dub ) #OOSSHA

Imagine for a minute that Klein MBO would return from the Italo heaven to deliver a brand new EP. How amazing would that be? Sometimes such miracles lay just around the corner. Nijmegen based Luca dell’Orso found some sort of time machine that brought him back to the days of Disco Magic and Il Discotto; a time where wobbly synths, heart felt handclaps and sweet melodies filled the air.

After appearances on Red Laser Records, Bordello A Parigi and Shmlss’ label XXX it’s time for his debut on Utrecht based SoHaSo sublabel OOSSHA. Filled to the rims with stylish Italo-disco, the Eternal Waves-EP has it all.

Slow motion Gaz Nevada-esque disco on Common Occurrence (which comes with two beautiful Cosmo Vitelli-remixes); sun blissed and fast paced happiness on Return Of You and stark new wave- vibes on Constriction.

Closer Bont & Blauw proves that Luca understands the essence of the genre. It has the same fnesse of the best Gazebo-records, back in the day. If you have a heart for italo, you don’t want to miss this perfect wave.

INCOMING : Luca Dell'Orso - Common Occurrence ( Cosmo Vitelli Dub ) #OOSSHA

Celestino - Tachyon (Shubostar Remix)

Forgotten trinkets, black and white photographs and broken ornaments adorned the walls or hung from rusty hooks that bordered the room. These old things, cast off by their original owners, were ready to become another person's treasure. Their stories wouldn't end here, the memories held within each object would be joined by new ones, and their existence would continue to bring new life to old spaces.

Mexican producer Mufi teams up with his good friend Alf Champion to launch their new label Fucanglong Files, with the first release coming in the form of an 8 track V/A, which gives listeners a window into what the future holds for the imprint. Stretching from driving synth excursions to oddball disco and electro, the release includes tracks from both label heads, alongside contributions from Roe Deers, Sequencers, Alex Aguayo, Safety Last, Amarcord and Eliezer, who teams up with Alejandro Molinari for a chaotic acid cut.
