From a distance the coastline sparkled; the huge windows of the hotels and casinos reflected the sun’s hot rays across the ocean below. People came here from all over the world to escape their lives, to blow off steam and pretend their responsibilities were non-existent for a few days. Here, the normal stresses and pressures dissipated into nothingness.

Amsterdam's Sinchi Collective continue their mission to support indigenous people across the world, whilst bringing together artists exploring the fringes of electronic music. Now in its fourth iteration, the ‘Altered States’ compilation features cuts from Pim Secle & Pelzensers, Dany E, LA Kena, Bulgakov, ILMO and Grand Riviera, spanning breakbeat, techno, synthwave, electro and punk-tinged sonics.

All profits will be donated to the Sinchi Foundation, which raises money for indigenous people.

Track: Makom Lerfua
Label: https://soundcloud.com/latidorecords
Format: Digital, EP
Release date: 05/11/21
YouTube: https://youtu.be/2mrVK5G4GzA

Tel-Aviv producers and djs Eliezer and AckerMan have decided to come together under the pseudonym Deadly Weapons, offering a fantastic EP entitled Roland Garros. The EP is made up of two original tracks and two remixes by two international electronic music bosses: Theus Mago and Javi Redondo.
Javi Redondo's remix closes the EP and does it in an insurmountable way. Build a broken rhythm track at 124 bpm with clear 90s reminiscences and where the main synth of the original track becomes a sound that one ends up wanting to be around for a long time.
Take note of 'Roland Garros' EP because it's gonna be played for sure an a long time on the coolest dance floors and festivals.

"During a romantic walk in the woods of twin peaks, a bewitching red light suddenly surrounds you. In the blink of an eye, everything but the light disappears. Your senses merge with each other as this red light turns into heat. Only you and the silence left... but you are fine. How would you feel if your own scream made you dance?.."
We are really happy to give welcome to Psycho Weazel. The Swiss duo that after releasing some works on Correspondant or Belly Dance Services, come to Rotten City to deliver two powerful original tracks inspired on Lynch’s universe, both with a deliberately club spirit.
The release is completed with a trippy & tribal version of "White Lodge" by Mexican guy Tyu and a narcotic slow motion re-interpretation of "Black Lodge" by the Greek masters of this kind of sounds, Stevie R & Parisinos.

Taken from "Fargo Devianti & Vongold - Taste Of Butter EP (Hard Fist)".  Out Sptember 29th 2022. Buy here https://hardfist.bandcamp.com/releases

For their 18th vinyl release, Hard Fist welcomes Guadalajara-based producers Vongold and Fargo Devianti in the family, including an impressive remix by Jennifer Cardini and Damon Jee.
Dj, producers and performers, the Mexican duo releases collabs on Correspondant, Hard Fist, Rotten City, Her Majesty’s Ship and more. Vongold is all about low-tempo dark disco, anxious lyrics over bass lines and hundred vocal gems ; while Fargo Devianti is a magician mixing guitars, synthesizers, drums and voodoo percussion.
“Taste of Butter” is their first full EP together. Vongold's haunted vocals stress Fargo Devianti hypnotic percussion. Together they create a psychedelic journey into mind landscapes with eclectic influences like avant-garde rock, post-punk, krautrock and darkwave sprinkled by psych folk eastern melodies and ritual percussions. This EP is probably the most rock and new-wave oriented ever released on Hard Fist.
To conclude, Jennifer Cardini and Damon Jee brought a powerful remix influenced by Detroit's electro and breakbeat roots. Once mixed with the trippy sounds of the original version, it opens a fresh new door into the field of “dancefloor killer” music.

PREMIERE : Fargo Devianti & Vongold - Sucubolökh (Hard Fist)

In your opinion, what is the label with the coolest name out there? In ours, it’s When Disco Goes Wrong, the growing Swedish platform managed by local legends Janne “Högt I Tak” Berglund (SXDNS179) and Marten “Mindbender” Attling. In their vision, Disco has actually not gone wrong or died, but evolved, turned into a plethora of genres and sub/micro-genres that have kept the boogie alive and kicking, and sometimes wrapped with heavy doses of acid – their favourite shape of what Disco has become. And if you are familiar with their work, you know how fond the lads are of acid. Take as an example the title of Högt I Tak’s forthcoming EP: “Acid Rave”. Believe it or not, this is the very first EP on his own label. His previous appearances were on compilations or other artists’ releases as a remixer.

For the occasion, Janne spared no efforts and brought the 90s back with four intense originals that showcase his capabilities and creativity as a producer. “Jittery Acid”, premiered here, is a peak time hellish beast featuring Techno and early Rave elements topped with indecent amounts of… yes, you know the answer. It is definitely one of the best tracks of the year so far. Caveat emptor: The trip is intense, handle with care.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://whendiscogoeswrong.bandcamp.com/

Being on the sidelines, seeing things from the outside, feeling like a freak, that strange feeling of being but not belonging.

This is the new collaboration between A-Tweed & John Parsley 'Out Of Hype'. A statement of sound principles far from the noise of massiveness.

2 original songs full of originality added to the reinterpretation in acid cumbia mode by the French Kubebe and the break-latin remix by the Colombian Hermetics.

An Ep to taste from start to finish away from popular prejudices.

Indian-style backing to a slow synth track. The titie is another anagram, but once again I have forgotten of what.

Urban Fortress

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.
