One Eyed Jacks ceased activity in 2017 with a record by Photonz released under a different alias. It was the right time to let go: when the label started, in 2010, there were few electronic music labels in Portugal and a growing new wave of artists that needed to be documented and shown. Along the years, new labels - more capable ones - developed to cater to that need while projects like Rádio Quântica, co-founded by Photonz and Violet, seemed better instruments to carry on the vision of elevating and documenting a fledgling scene. But the itch for editorial expression was never gone and come 2023, One Eyed Jacks is back to life, animated by a renewed trust in the music and visions of how to apply its mysterious power to move, inspire and heal.

Lisbon-based Kara Konchar AKA Miguel Béco picks up on the original’s more emotive motifs and builds up a dense storm of heavy drums, unpredictable changes and texturally-rich variations on the melodies, bringing the drama levels way up.

A Slice of Strawberry Shortcake is an amalgamation of flavors, boasting femme and gender nonconforming heavyweights spattered across the globe. Each track delivers distinct punches: from nextdimensional’s bass-heavy ethereal dreamscape to ROW92’s melodic drum and bass hellscape. JIALING takes us for a ride on a megabus careening down I95 and Zvrra’s Japanese video-game-inspired track Leap, draws on FM synthesis and an enemy boss encounter. As the first compilation album released by Banana Pudding Records, A Slice of Strawberry Shortcake presses that queer and femme artists are fundamental to the bourgeoning electronic scene.

Tracklist: 

nextdimensional - flavors
JIALING - I95
DJ Girl - Jasmine
DJ Delish - West Philly Ha
Zvrra - Leap
ROW92 - Dwelling In Sleep

PREMIERE: DJ Girl - Jasmine [Banana Pudding]

The room was dark as they entered cautiously – it had been so very long since someone had entered the space, let alone someone like him. It were as if the shadows of long lost dancers were still swaying back and forth beneath the disco ball which shimmered up above. There was dust everywhere, murky corners that had been untouched for decades. \

He wondered whether the music might still even work in a place like this? Would it sound the same?

Who still danced these days anyways? 

As he approached the booth at the forefront of the hall he began to tickle with excitement at the thought of it all. The lights, the people, the music, the past. It was time to breathe again…

Jun Kamoda has worked hard, releasing music which has since gone on to be supported and played by the likes of Ben UFO, Eclair Fifi and Tim Sweeney to name a few. His music is raw in places, capturing the true energy and origins of House music in a unique way. This latest EP is perhaps his most accomplished to date…

Bangkok-based artist @musicvell releases debut EP “Floating Mists, Warm Vistas,” on the @boiledwonderlandrecords banner.

In a vell of floating mists so fine, Warm vistas danced in a twisty line. Boiled Wonderland records played a tune, Singing a song to the glowing moon.

Mists giggled and twirled with glee, Vistas whispered secrets to the sea. Boiled Wonderland laughed along, Records skipped, oh what a song!

Through the vell, a whimsical flight, Floating dreams took their height. Warm vistas hugged the sky so tight, Boiled Wonderland spun day to night.

Records danced on the starry floor, A nonsense rhyme forevermore. In this world where imagination exists, Vell, vistas, records – a dreamer’s tryst!
 

An expansive sonic journey of an EP, we’re premiering the title track; “Floating Mists, Warm Vistas,” packed full of skipping drum breaks, rolling basslines and bubbling synths.

The full EP’s out on September 22nd, 2023.

Floating Mists, Warm Vistas

PREMIERE: Vell - Floating Mists, Warm Vistas [Boiled Wonderland Records]

Italian House Music producer, Fabio Monesi, delivers a smoking 8 track double lp of old school bombs for L.I.E.S. Records. These tracks go right back to the essence, hitting the full spectrum with stripped back classic New York and Chicago House cuts that wouldn't seem out of place in a BMX or WBLS mix from back in the day. Catchy dx basslines, slammin reverb drenched drum programming, and deep strings are on order for this one. All guaranteed to more the party all night long, drop the needle and let these do the talking....Huge huge party cuts, check the Moonriver vocal and you'll hear it immediately... recommended.

All you need are your ears. The moment of understanding is instantaneous when you listen.
