"Medhead" is Cosmo Vitelli’s third solo album. Featuring eight cuts, five of them being recorded in collaboration with Truus de Groot, lead singer of Dutch new/no-wave outfit Plus Instruments, ‘Medhead’ is a statement to the power of electronic language as a summoner of deep-laid, recursive narratives. Emancipated from normative restraints and nonsensical branding, the album spans everything from slo-drip kraut to wasted disco, through murky motel-pop, neo-kosmische, hip-hop, industrial and, quite obviously, a healthy dose of reconfigured indie-rock motifs. A gravity-defying ode to the weirdness of being, Cosmo Vitelli’s new album bridges gaps and reexamines our reality, which seems so prone to enslave itself to rupture and disjunction. Let that organised chaos take over your senses and cast off to a world of untamed, eerie wonders.

DALO - Trap

The river was wild – it was hypnotic and fascinating to watch as it weaved and meandered its way down the side of the mountain towards towns and villages many miles away.

Many had tried to conquer the blazing waters, to carve a new path down which the water might follow and wind. None had been successful for this was something bigger than those who sought to tame it.

Stood atop the waterfall he watched as it crashed against the side of the cliff before falling and plummeting downwards into a place that could not be seen…

Stevie R & Parisinos draw on the music of their childhood as they return for a new outing on Sinchi that comes with a remix from Man Power. Sales from this release will be donated to the Sinchi Foundation to support indigenous peoples worldwide.

Junto Club return!

Crafted in a southside studio in Glasgow, Junto Club's 'Golden Apple' is a sonic journey set to release on Optimo Music. 

For the past ten years, Junto Club have continued to defy genre boundaries while producing a sound that is distinctively their own. ‘Golden Apple’ continues in this vein, capturing a range of styles, from the fast-paced title track to the dub-inspired 'San Worm' and the pop hook of 'The Answer.' Initial drafts, chaotic and abstract, were brought to life at Green Door Studio before being sent to Emily and Stu Evans in the Californian desert for the final mix and arrangement. Sascha Funke then took on the mission of reimagining ‘Golden Apple’ towards a more hynoptic groove. 

Drawing inspiration from the dystopian future that climate breakdown forewarns, 'Golden Apple' is a compact genre shifting creation that speaks to our times.

Released digitally 27/10/2023

Canny lad Jo Howard has drafted in an earthy bunch of reprobates for his debut EP on his own label Sulk Magic. The Bird Of Paradise features alongside other avarians, but the stand out slice is this weird, religious shuffler from mysterion Obb Globelyn. Like the finger snaps, it lures you in to it's mazey musica. Patted soft bass and synco riddims, cultish cants and flip rewinds make this beauty feel a little sordid. In a nice way, for your Sunday blues.

Sleep D & Roza Terenzi split sides and take control of next Butter Sessions 12". Expect advanced electronics with a retro-futurist blend.

Label veterans Sleep D crank the dial to 11 and spit out a banging electro mutant that was concieved at Melbounre Electronic Sound Studio early in 2018. Vintage synths are imagined in a new light on 'Shark Tempo' and met with fast-paced klangin drums and a relentlessly hypnotic bass sequence. 

Flip the disc to feel the bass bin shaking sounds of Melbourne via Perth transplant Roza Terenzi that has been making plenty of noise lately. Debuting on the label with a rude, zonked out rave house beast that is 'Paranoia On Tap'. Heard first at her debut live set at Inner Varnika festival early in 2018.

I'm a Cliché comes back again!
After CV’s double Special Delivery LP released in 2018, Edit Service is back with its fifth release, an EP of edits by the young Moscovite duo known as Ólta Karawane, noticed for their edits on Maturre and Discos Capablanca. We’ve been playing their edits very often lately, so it seemed natural to release them on Edit Service.
Edit Service 005 with five amazing tracks on it about to come out later this June on the vinyl and on digital in October.
Opening the EP is this early 80’s antipodean cut somewhere between new wave and post-punk where a shopping list is recited by a male and a female voice engaged in call and response. Innocent and catchy on the surface with its electric keyboard, primitive drum machine and bass guitar, it seems there is something perverse lurking within this tune.
