The clues were now coming in droves; missed appointments, late night messages, and farfetched excuses... Maybe he wanted her to find out. That, or he wasn't doing a very good job of covering it up. She'd been blind to it but now it was as though a veil had been lifted, her rose tinted glasses had been firmly removed and reality had set in. The revelation had to come.

In May Lithuanian music platform and label Whypeopledance celebrated eight years in the game. As a recognition of the milestone and the friends and family they've built around them, they've baked a very special birthday cake: a nine-track compilation featuring producers from home turf and beyond. Showcasing the sounds they've become known for, from synthwave to EBM, techno and indie dance, the release features music from the likes of Anastasia Zems, John Patter, Tadan and close label affiliate Jaroška.

PREMIERE: Jaroška - Revelations [Whypeopledance]

Milf 01 EP

"Some men are at home where others would be scared to tiptoe; Enter MILF Recordings, a new label that mysteriously emerges from nowhere (and everywhere at the same time).  Immediately present in the artwork, a sex charged energy, reminiscent of a 80’s - 90’s heyday, intended for mature audiences only.  Perhaps it lives on in this latest delivery from our good friend, “UNKNOWN ARTIST.”  The opening scene, I mean track… “Adicktion” (Milf’s Edit) - a tough, rolling, disco-esque bassline, somewhat of a theme throughout the release, drives the listener, over shimmering, analog drums that gradually boil over into a synthy intensity, all while you are serenaded to the excited confessions of a sex addict.  Track 2, “Dame Mature,” lowering the tempo somehow brings out a more mechanical sensuality in the track’s sampling, blending together voices, and more, over a cutting bassline, that patiently establishes a steady, easy to follow rhythm, which ends with what appears to be cracks of a whip, if that’s something you enjoy.  The closing track, “Asstronomy” (Fuck Off Edit), a type of erotic, post apocalyptic outro, through space.  More aggressive, and then later sludgy, pulsating, bass tones keep the energy moving, into an interestingly dubby, droning, breakdown, that would surely create some excellent mixing opportunities for any remotely creative DJ, possibly.  All around, a solid collection for fans of dark disco edits, that any sweaty, open minded dancefloor would surely embrace, assuming there is a DJ in the building who is capable of wielding such a fiery trio.  

A final note, for those who might only have eyes for vulgarity, where there is only music, offering their unsolicited judgment, I ask, how did you get here?  Don’t answer that question."

das SPEZIAL - SPZL KIDS 2 (Feat Matthew Herbert & Fango Remixes)

Leftfield pop project das SPEZIAL mints its second EP with the drum talents of Radiohead’s Clive Deamer and remixes from experimental icon Matthew Herbert and Italian house innovator Fango.

das SPEZIAL is an art project rooted in collaboration, driven by British-Iranian producer Shahab Notghi’s endless search for the fiercest talent, from unknown singers to world-renowned mixing engineers, all with the aim of creating spellbinding, experimentally-minded sound and vision.

The second record in the KIDS series introduces Taya Michington, a precociously talented singer- songwriter plunged into the psychedelic, technicolour SPEZIAL sound-world. After raw, improvised songwriting sessions, SPEZIAL spearhead Shahab Notghi built up wild sonic tapestries drawn from modular synthesis and experimental signal chains around Michington’s voice.

Echoing the process on past SPEZIAL projects, the additional collaborators are an essential piece of the puzzle. The tracks on KIDS#2 grew in stature with the multi-instrumental intervention from regular collaborator Stew Jackson (Massive Attack, Phantom Limb) and the addition of celebrated drummer Clive Deamer to the SPEZIAL constellation. Having previously recorded and toured with the likes of Radiohead, Portishead, Robert Plant and Roni Size, Deamer’s distinct percussive touch deepens the rhythmic drive of KIDS#2

Building on the striking sound of Daniel Avery’s remix on KIDS#1, for the second chapter pioneering UK producer Matthew Herbert lends his unmistakable touch to ‘I Had A Dream’, a club-minded flip of ‘What Does It Mean’. In the wake of his widely acclaimed 2023 album The Horse, Herbert responds to SPEZIAL’s curious spirit by drawing on his peerless legacy of non- conformist house music with a show-stopping dancefloor version.

Alongside Herbert’s remix comes a version of ‘I Had A Dream’ from celebrated Venetian DJ and producer Fango. The Degustibus Music boss has a fascinating, wayward approach to 4/4 himself, and his interpretation comes on as dramatic electronica splashed with grandiose synth-pop sensibilities and a finely tuned balance between tension and release.

As the net gets thrown wider and more singular talents feed into the project, das SPEZIAL continues to be an incubator for visionary artistry and unbridled adventures in sound.

ARTIST DUO MICHA VOLDERS & MIET WARLOP PRESENT A NEW ALBUM ‘ICCHĀ’ 

Balancing tribal electronica, angular wave and powerful chants, ‘ICCHĀ’ is a frenzied sonic fusion between Belgium and Bangladesh 
The Belgian duo, comprising musician Micha Volders and visual artist Miet Warlop, presents their debut album titled ‘ICCHĀ’. Stemming from their monumental performance ‘Chant For Hope’ (2023), which showcased native artists from Dhaka, ‘ICCHĀ’ revolves around the musical cadence and rich heritage of the Bengali language.
A powerful and uncompromising journey, ‘ICCHĀ’ offers a captivating soundworld with angular drumming and vocals that oscillate in mantra-like repetitions. The album features the performances of slam poet Shayer Noor, the energetic Muhammad Shanto, and the Chittagonian-spirited Tanny Das Gupta as protagonists, navigating the vibrant frenzy of Dhaka. Their contributions were carefully curated into a cohesive album that retains the inherent structure and heart of the original performance, ‘Chant For Hope.’”
The pulsating debut single, ‘OK GO - ঠিক আছে যাও’, highlights the mantra-like shouts of artist Shayer Noor. The contrast between the deep, rumbling Bodhran drum and the airy backing vocals, repeating the same word, lends it a monumental and standout character."
 "Set for release on May 24th, the album will be available on picture disc vinyl LP and across all digital platforms via the Belgian label Mutropia."

The duo announces a series of live performances featuring the music of the album enhanced by live visuals. Dates include the showcase festival Ghost (Ghent), more TBA.

[PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] proudly presents its 78th release. Spigl (@spigl) — 2021 EP. A signal from Prague. Receiving. Channel open. Broadcasting on frequency [PSD078] is Spigl — a sonic chronicler from the city of blurred borders. His 2021 EP is like time encoded :05102024:13122022:18042024:Sequence:Forma:

Like shadows cast by floodlights on concrete walls, these tracks echo into space. Each piece is a diary in dub techno rhythm: where the bass doesn’t just play — it breathes. Where echo knows more than the voice. Where time flows in reverse — through Delay, through Reverb, through Memory.

::: 05102024 — an empty platform, just moonlight and snowfall.
::: 13122022 — an internal winter frozen in deep groove.
::: 18042024 — warmth of chords drifting through cool synthesizers.
::: Sequence Forma — rhythm architecture built on digital geometry; a labyrinth without a center.

And as always with [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB], reinterpretation follows. Remixes like prisms splitting the light of the original:

::: Victor López (@victor-lopez-650216725) reshapes 05102024, drenching it in the rusty light of a Spanish autumn.
::: Oldschool_Dubtechno .Producer (@enercube & @x_fr) turns Sequence Forma into a concrete tunnel with a precise route.
::: EmmaSoul (@sphelele-emmasoul) swings 18042024 lazily — as if the moon got tangled in a wire.
::: BLOMAQ (@blomaq) pulls 05102024 deeper — toward something simple, yet infinite.
::: dESUS (@dj-desus) says “Love Yaself” and gifts a love the date itself had forgotten.

Spigl — 2021 EP. This EP is a transfer platform. You choose where to go next. For those who play music to shut the world out. Possible side effects: Disorientation in time. Persistent déjà vu. Sensation of someone else in the room. Every track feels like tape that’s been submerged. Grains and cracks live between each kick drum. Here, monotony is not boredom — it’s meditation. This is dub techno that doesn’t want to entertain You. It wants to consume You.

Yours in sound and spirit,
The [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] Crew.

Our dear Günce Aci (SXDNS129) is one of the most skilful producers we had the privilege to know since the beginning of our "Sexy" journey through the mixtape & premiere universe. For her new EP – "Swallow" –, the second we have the pleasure of premiering, the important Spanish label Dogs & Vultures Records brought together an incredible team of remixers for her incredible originals: Darlyn Vlys, Roe Deers (SXDNS138) and MontCosmik.

The original we chose to review, "The Circle Is Not Round", showcases Günci’s best side: Her ability to combine different elements - the fruit of her many influences - into a seamless hotchpotch of sonorities. Dark, ethnic, trippy, analog… you name it. She is definitely able to amass whatever musical imprint that lies in her head and give life to something fresh and innovative without losing the touch of focusing on the dance floor.    

Special credits to K-Effect (Toledo, Spain) for the mastering.    

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

PREMIERE037 // Günce Aci - The Circle Is Not Round

Bordello is back with a new compilation series: Diamonds In The Night. An homage to the hours of darkness (and the great composer who went by the name of Felli - R.I.P.). From ecstatic peak time dance floor action to erotic euphoria and its more edgy after hours just before dawn. For the first volume we've selected four fine diamonds by The Hacker and Voiron from France, Armonics from Italy and Discobeton from Bulgaria.

Through darkness diamonds spread their richest light...
