Admo - It's Inside

We’re thrilled to welcome Paul Cut to the Automatic Writing family! Paul has been a key figure in the French house scene for over a decade, whether spinning tracks as a DJ across the globe or laying down keys for legends like Chez Damier or Larry Heard in his latest live show.  With Memorize Your Face, Paul showcases his wide-ranging talent as a producer, delivering three hypnotic tracks that blend the essence of early Chicago house with the pulse of UK tech house. Aline Umber steps in for remix duties, transforming Memorize Your Face into a deep, trippy journey.

A2 - Feel

Rare and banger of an EP by Subtech. Lemon Meringue is an upbeat, groovey tech house tune while Vicaria is more deep with some melodic synths. Couldn't find a download or a buy link for the wax anywhere so if you need the lossless file, DM! :)

His mind wandered from time to time. From this to that and back again.

His perceptions danced atop a fragile sense of perspective, he wondered if he might ever regain the right to reality. For every thought was a maze, a whirlwind in which to become lost in the fog of the morning.

Whether he could be trusted was another thing.

There wasn't much else for it but to try.

Slump Recordings continues to grow from strength to strength. Now a prominent force in a new wave of House music with progressive, deep rooted sensibilities. There's plenty of fun to be found on this one from SY but this slightly deeper cut was what caught our ear.

PREMIERE: SY - Perceptions [Slump Recordings]

PREMIERE: Triptil - Inside Out

La llegada de inmigrantes europeos al Río de La Plata durante el siglo XIX y durante la primera mitad del XX, especialmente españoles e italianos, trajo consigo ideas anarquistas que se arraigaron en el movimiento obrero Uruguayo y Argentino.

En 1931, Miguel Arcángel Roscigna, líder anarquista destacado en la Argentina, junto a los italianos Severino Di Giovanni (periodista,poeta y obrero) y Gino Gatti (el ingeniero) y su gente. Lideran los primeros asaltos anarquistas, era para ellos una forma de atacar al capitalismo en su raíz, además se dedicaron a hacer “justicia por mano propia” contra los jefes policiales identificados como torturadores de anarquistas y obreros sindicalizados.

Mientras Severino era fusilado en Bs As, Roscigna planeaba liberar a compañeros detenidos en la cárcel de Punta Carretas.
Los fondos recogidos de asaltos anteriores, facilitaron las cosas. Permitió que Gino Gatti se instalara en una casa comprada por el grupo frente a la cárcel, instalando la carbonería ¨El Buen Trato¨ desde donde comienza la construcción de uno de los túneles de fuga más perfectos, con ventilación y luz eléctrica a lo largo de su recorrido de 50 metros hacia la cárcel de Punta Carretas.

Poco tiempo del primer mundial de futbol de 1930 y un Uruguay Campeón. La fuga, concretada el 18 de marzo de 1931, permitió que los prisioneros salieran sin problemas y fueran recogidos por vehículos en un garaje cercano.

Sin embargo, la seguridad pronto rastreó a los anarquistas por un error accidental de un agente, resultando en la detención de Roscigna y su grupo por 53 policías. Eventualmente, fueron condenados y encarcelados en Montevideo hasta 1936, desapareciendo posteriormente en circunstancias nebulosas.

Pasados varios meses de la desaparición, un oficial se sincera con la Comisión Pro Presos y les dice con tono confidencial: “No se rompan más muchachos: a Roscigna, Vázquez Paredes y Malvicini les aplicaron la ley Bazán, los fondearon en el Río de la Plata”.

4 décadas después este túnel fue reutilizado por los presos Tupamaros haciendo así una de las más grandes fugas de la historia, donde se dieron a la libertad 118 presos, pero eso sera parte de otra historia…
