The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere "Novi Sad - M.S.K (Curses Dub)". The East London Noise Rock band invited Ombra International label boss Curses to remix their politically charged track "M.S.K", taken from their debut EP ‘Are You Ever Able?’ that was released earlier this year. Today we present Curses' Dub, an ultra-deviant EBM injected banger ready to tear the club up.

PREMIERE: Novi Sad - M.S.K (Curses Dub)

In sheer rapture, Riotvan hereby announces... Curses, the most classy and charming prince of darkness that contemporary dance music has to offer, is debuting on the label with a new release. 

We’ve seen him on remix duties for New Hook recently. Still, here we find him submitting two originals, crafted with his regular companion, Dame Bonnet, on the bass and showcasing a rather tender sentiment within the signore’s emotional spectrum. 'Premonitions' aligns bass-driven Postpunk-verve with blissful synths and an overall romantic tuning that Human League or Tears For Fears would’ve sold some close relatives to achieve. 

'Salvation', on the other hand, builds a somewhat meditative, almost IDM-like grounding, on top of which Curses practices a head-spinning Talkbox-exorcism.

Curses - Premonitions/Salvations

PREMIERE: Curses - Premonitions [RIOTVAN]

Curses presents 'Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX' will be out October 20th, 2023

Read all about it -> https://post-punk.com/listen-to-curses-club-primed-remix-of-nuovo-testamentos-heartbeat-the-next-wave-acid-punx-deux-compilation-tracklist/

Exclusive remix of Los Angeles and Bologna based Nuovo Testamento's Heartbeat by Curses himself! Taken from the band's 2023 album Love Lines, Heartbeat - in its original form a shimmering italo synth pop number, part Danceteria-era Madonna, part Yazoo - has been ruthlessly retooled here by Curses for strobe lit sweatboxes. Shifting the emphasis from its sparkling synths and pop melody towards the rhythm section, the track's synth bass now dominates the track just as its martial kick drums and gated snares push us deeper into EBM territory.

‘Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX’ is a return to the dark romantic of the past, present and future. An undying passion for all things post-punk/wave/body music and beyond. Release date: October 20th. 2023

Curses - Streets Of NYC

Taking us on a sleazy, strobe lit tour of the darker corners of clubland Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX is the second compilation curated for Eskimo Recordings by Luca Venezia, aka Curses. Threading the needle between early industrial, EBM, post-punk experiments and some of the most exciting music being made today, the 49 track compilation also features some of Luca's own exclusive remixes such as his 'Revamp' of New Beat classic J.W.B. Hits The Beat's 'Body On Body'.

Originally released back in 1987, Curses' remix brings the track right up date, pushing the tempo and toughening up the drums whilst stripping it back down to focus on the portentous choral synth pads and teasing us with its ecstatic vocal samples before the effervescent Italo melody brings it all together. A perfect synthesis of past and present, much like the compilation it's taken from.

Dark Science Electro presents: Lokier guest mix

John Parsley has been making an impact lately with his unique soundscapes and catchy left field rhythms. After the success of recent releases on Logical and Sulk Magic the Swiss producer brings two new originals to Roam Recordings to form the Schlanke Socke EP. Both tracks build with a rhythmic fluid motion while maintaining an eerily intriguing vibe. The original Schlanke Socke is an uptempo rendition of this style while Ghost in the Maschine brings the tempo down to add more space.

The EP also sees the return of Tronik Youth to Roam Recordings with an excellent remix of the title track. The Nein Records label boss takes the energy up even further on Schlanke Socke with a heavy percussion workout.

Mexican producer and label boss for Regith Records Otheo also joins the EP and adds a stunning dark disco remix of Ghost in the Maschine.

All four tracks work together to fit different times, tempos, and occasions while keeping with the Roam mantra - a little left of center and always for the dance floor.

Mastered by K-Effect Mastering.

Sid Le Rock - Slowpoke (Cabaret Nocturne Remix) [preview]

Having previously featured on Eskimo Recordings' 2018 compilation 'The Purple Collection’ as one half of Languages, Franz Matthews returns to the label alongside fellow Berliners Local Suicide with 'Meditation / Tutan Jamon', 2 tracks of heady disco that join the dots between the German capital and the sun soaked souks of North Africa.
 
Despite living on the same street for 4 years Franz Matthews and Brax Moody and Vamparela from Local Suicide only met recently through their common friend Sam Berdah (Days of Being Wild, Club Bizarre). Making up for lost time, the trio soon found themselves bonding in the studio, digging into their love of both the esoteric and travelling, and together channelled those passions into 2 spiritually infused numbers.
 
'Meditation'was the first result of this inspired partnership, appropriately recorded at the same time that Matthews was also recording music for a meditation app, and features a freeform stream of consciousness from Vamparela over a suitably hypnotic backing of wistful guitars and breezy rhythms. 'Tutan Jamon' meanwhile shares its DNA with recent Eskimo releases by the likes of Simple Symmetry and SHMLSS, the track built around a couple of very Egyptian influenced riffs and comes in two distinct versions.
 
Between his production studio MOWD, his duo Languages, and his solo electronic project, Franz Matthews keeps himself busy. Making Berlin his hometown for the past 5 years, the Franco-German producer and DJ has always kept one hand in the Indie Dance world, while the other wanders in more Psychedelic Pop realms, a winning combination that's seen him release music on imprints such as Eskimo Recordings, Days of Being Wild, Rockets & Ponies.
 
Local Suicide, aka DJs and producers Brax Moody and Vamparela, meanwhile have made a name for themselves putting on some of the most infamous underground parties Berlin has to offer, running their acclaimed blog and still finding time to make waves with their productions, a wild fusion of new wave, acid, slow techno and post-disco that has seen them work with the likes of Rodion, Mijo and Curses in recent years.

Franz Matthews & Local Suicide - Meditation

New York's Alliance Upholstery have been quietly putting out slick vinyl cuts since the summer of 2017, attracting star remixes such as Jex Opolis, Jacques Renault and Justin Strauss. For their seventh EP, a various artist offering there's more quality in store featuring four tracks of breezy, languid electronica. Bobby Bricks 'Orchid Island' is the pick for us; a polished balearic house jam with shimmering melodies, Eastern strings and  the all important 707 rhythm track.  Dig out your Espadrilles, summer inches ever closer...

Words: Joe Morris

PREMIERE: Bobby Bricks - Orchid Island (Alliance Upholstery)

It was the height of summer but inside the wood panelled dining room an icy chill could be felt in the air. The dinner had been a formal affair, filled with the highest aristocracy and an overwhelming sense of privilege. She pretended to be one of them, but it was all a facade, fuelled by fierce hatred. However, things would all change this evening. She had a plan. It had taken a lot of time and patience but finally everything had come together. Tonight would be the night of reckoning. 

Berlin-based duo Local Suicide team up with Curses for the newest release on Tusk Wax. On our pick, new wave meets Italo laced with signature low strung guitar and wistful vocals. A great collaboration that we hope to see more of in future.

Tusk Wax Twenty Eight

We here at Discobelle got the scoop on the exclusive premiere of track "Magia" taken from the upcoming @localsuicide And @cursesforever EP, which will be out tomorrow Friday March 22nd (500 hand stamped 12" vinyl only) via UK label @justtusk.

Tusk Wax 28 is a collaboration between NYC born, Berlin-based artist Curses and the otherworldly "techno-disco" Greek-German outfit Local Suicide. The pairing seems like a match made in heaven, especially seeing as both artists are known for exploring the darker side of dance music.

"Magia" kicks off the release and it's a steadfast and seductive piece of slo-mo disco with spaced out synths and eerie vocals that wouldn't be out of place in an 80's horror movie.

Local Suicide And Curses - Magia [Discobelle premiere]

After Micheal Klein’s stunning debut album ‘Snapshot’, it's only logical we celebrate the long player once again with four stellar remixes from a handful of Techno’s best.

Kicking things off is the one and only Dubfire who delivers a rework of ‘Dismantled Structure' unlike anything we’ve heard from him before as he channels the aesthetics of quintessential Dub stylings reminiscent of Deepchord and Echospace fused with a cutting edge, modern approach resulting in an absolute burner that will stand any test of time. Markus Suckut follows with his unique approach on ‘Dirty Daddy’ where heaviness reigns supreme as hefty percussion, hypnotic rhythms and swirling atmospherics culminate into a far flung journey into the vast expanse. Taking a slightly different approach yet never losing the energy, Developer dives further into ethereal spaces with his re-imagining of ‘Flashes In Your Eyes’ where he weaves psychedelic harmonies and mesmerizing grooves into a trance inducing roller perfect for intensely deeper moments. Finalizing the remix package we turn to +plattform, one of Norway’s best Techno artists, who delivers an absolutely gorgeous rendition of ‘So Far To Go’ where abrasive drums and washes of reverb lay the groundwork for a cut where emotion takes center stage creating a beautifully crafted tune that will in equal measure melt hearts and forge unforgettable memories.
