Producers Kasper Bjørke and Jon Atli Helgasson’s second issue for the label, Bullschnitzel, continues in the futuristic techno and dark disco vein of preceding Correspondant releases, here injected with 80s post-punk and cold wave.
The EP’s opener, “I Love The Way You Hold My Hips”, struts at a steady 112 bpm, with an acoustic percussive structure offset by spaced- out synths and smoldering guitar riffs. The remix comes from Red Axes, a joint project from Tel Aviv-based producers and DJs Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi, who run the track through a chemical bath for looser sound.
The Mansisters’ second original submission, “Bullschnitzel”, is a soundtrack for subversion and strange phenomena. Tension diffuses through the deployment of escalating drones, cut with off-key synth tunings and a brooding, regular pulse.
Correspondant label head Jennifer Cardini offers up a remix to round out the release.
The syncopated Roland TB-303 rhythms that drive her “Highway to Schnitzel” are adulterated with a heavy dose of acid, nodding toward the diverse dancefloors she’s worked in over two decades in electronic music.

Hi there... Is there something like an East­-London sound or attitude? Anyway, French DJ/producer wonder child Mondowski recently moved there. Born in the early nineties, the young artist has never been (frankly speaking) a "club kid". Creation's back catalogue, MBV and The Jesus and Mary Chain stand out as his seminal references... as well as Death in Vegas which, he claims, opened him up to electronic and synth music. Dark was the turn.

After the release of Cry Wolf and Sans Soleil on Relish Compilaltion IV in December 2015, the I­Boat Shadowplay party promoter is back with 2 new original tracks to be released on Relish once more. The EP is entitled Klub Psycho. The title track, to make it short, is a fierce and industrial dance­floor beat... brilliant and abrasive... ruthlessly groovy... as weird and deviant as its record cover... There's Black Age, its scary synth waves, its haunting voice­over and metallically acid vibe.

The Hacker takes over and reworks the original track into a dreadful warehouse anthem. And there's the eponymous track... and well guess it's just what it's called an unsettling late-­of-­the-­nite endeavor which Joe Spurgeon's remix efficiently rearticulates into a Detroit-­techno-­flavored underground statement.

EP Pre-order

PRÉMIÈRE: Mondowski - Black Age (Relish Recordings)

The blood pumped rapidly around his aching body. He had never expected to come under attack on the battlefield in such a way, so fierce, so heavy, so caustic. His cardiogram read a series of information which he did not understand or follow. Why would he have ever expected to be the one to end up in a hospital bed? He was the hottest in the ring, the champion of the desert and a perilous fighter. Except, now he felt small, weak and insignificant. What would the others say?

It's A Fine Line is the duo made up of Ivan Smagghe and Tim Paris. Last year they released their album on Kill The DJ, now they are remixed by a series of associated producers on a new EP. "cardiogram" is the track in question and it has been re-imagined by the likes of Dollkraut and Factory Floor.

Cardiogram Remixes

PREMIERE: It's A Fine Line - Cardiogram (Dollkraut Instrumental)[KTDJ]

Black Magic sets an optimistic tone for what is to come from this new label.  Intoxicatingly hypnotic and full of warmth, this track reminds us that it is always summer somewhere.
If Black Magic is essential in warming a party up, God Bless Atheism is the perfect way to bring us softly down on the other side.  A modern balearic anthem in the waiting, this is best enjoyed looking out to new horizons.  

B1 Street Sunbath sees Ponty exploring more-techy territory whilst still retaining the hopeful feeling that forms the backbone of this EP.  

Hidden Object has a strong tribal feel which hooks the listener.  Using vocal chanting samples and simple repetitive melody lines, this is a perfect example of how less is often more in connecting with the dancefloor.

PREMIERE : Eyes Of Others - I See You In The Shrubs

Artist: Aurum Miles
Title: Few Feets
Label: Blindetonation
Release: 2018 
Cat. No.: BLDN010

Blindetonation hits double figures with a suitably notable new EP from Aurum Miles. Pardon Moi, Il Est Vilaine and Thomass Jackson all serve up sizzling remixes to complete this interesting package. 

Miles hails from Lithuania and has grown up around shoegaze, rock and British indie, and was later touched by electronic sounds. A keys, drums and guitar player who mixes up all these influences with narcotic weirdness, he has released on this label before and always impresses. 

The excellently elastic ‘Few Feets’ is a sleazy, low slung machine made disco jam with skewed synths, punk hits and dirty bass. Exotic vocals and dark spoken words flesh out the wonky groove and the whole thing is hugely intoxicating. ‘Easy Come Easy Go’ is a menacing number with more filthy bass guitar riffs that snake along an urban sounding landscape. More dehumanised vocals bring an edgy feel and cosmic synths serve to trip you out. Last original ‘Mojo’ completes this brilliant disco freak show with off kilter synths and guttural guitar riffs that add up to dark cosmic excellence. 

First to remix is Berlin Based New Wave Duo Pardon Moi aka James Brook and Thomas Freudenthal. They flip ‘Few Feets’ into a surging track with shooting synths that reach to the skies. It’s a spine tingling cut with plenty of intergalactic energy.  Then come the duo of Il Est Vilaine, who make twisted electronic music and get their machines dancing on labels like Dialect. Their take on ‘Easy Come Easy Go’ is libidinous and dripping with a moody tension. Propped up by rugged bass and coloured with naughty chords, it’s a psyched-out and vital version.  Lastly, label regular and esteemed modern disco man Thomass Jackson works ‘Mojo’ in to a characterfully chugging, flipped out number with scale-riding melodies and percolating bass that takes you on a real trip. 

This is an inventive package of perfectly macho dark disco.
