2. Velmondo & Iro Aka - Subtraction

For the debut digital EP on Viscera Transmissions, Komodo spreads his wings and takes his signature low slung psychedelica to the stars, to reap destruction on extraterrestrial dancefloors across the cosmos.

Title track Mirror Claws begins an ember in the desert, slowly stoked by guitar chord stabs and eerie screeches towards a slow yet inevitable psychedelic inferno.

For Night Crawler, the guitar steps back into co-pilot role as the acid bass takes the saddle, spurring the squelch dragon off into the void with a crack of the 303 whip.

Next up is Vanquished Angst with a dubby desert rock workout. Blazing guitar solos tear across the sky like thunderbolts whilst the hypnotic bassline and guitar progression burn through the dunes.

On the flip, Jonny Rock re-dubs the dub with his Vanquished Angst Dragon Remix. No slightly questionable guitar metaphors here, instead, a mind melting whirlpool of spiraling percussion, vocal quips, bass throbs and pads form a completely bonkers but brilliant piece.

Last but certainly not least, Chez de Milo arms Night Crawler with some serious ordnance. After changing up the beat pattern with a breaksy kick, electro warheads are ago, clearing the way for the original 303 line to cruise through. Heavy!

Credits: Thanks to Komodo for the amazing music in support of our new label, Jonny Rock & Chez de Milo for the delicious remixes, James Savage for the incredible masters, Kirsty Carrington for the gorgeous illustration and to Jessica Lau for digital design.

Mirror Claws

Pre-Order

Komodo - Mirror Claws [VTD001]

The world was spinning faster than ever before, it was more chaotic and dazzling than it had been. Some were using this opportunity to make amends, building bridges faster than others might attempt to burn them.

Nobody knew when it might stop for that was an uncertainty beyond the imagination of all comprehension. Perhaps it would be today, perhaps it would be tomorrow but for now all they could do was to continue the merry dance upon which kept it all moving.

He watched it all from a cloud up above, little did they know of what time was left way down there.
 
Chambre Noire has announced the release of a new split EP which features a collection of tracks from RW, Bunzinelli and Mild Drama. This EP caught us off guard as it’s perhaps more club focussed and dancefloor ready than the previous material to emerge via the imprint. It’s a stellar EP with label boss Bunzinelli’s track playing a stand out role as far as we’re concerned.

Gustaaf - Fading Chaos Shades [Turnland]

The party was in full effect, brimming with friendly faces and lively, incessant chatter. She shimmied through the crowd discreetly grazing her fingertips against his as she passed him. Their eyes locked for just a moment and her heart began to race. She gulped and quickly averted her gaze. This had become a recurring situation that they now knew all too well. Day after day, night after night they battled with these same desires, trying to fight their primal urges. How could something that feels so right also feel so wrong? It was their secret, and it would have to remain that way. At least for now...

Berlin-based party and mix series Warning kick off their new label with two reworks from Benedikt Frey and DJ TABLEDANCE. On today's premiere, Benedikt puts a dark and sleazy spin on a classic cut from Aaliyah.

1 Heaven 2 Hell
2 Heaven 2 Hell (Eden Burns Baked Beans in the Basement Mix)
3 Heaven 2 Hell (Eden Burns Remix)

Heaven 2 Hell speaks of the journey from disempowerment into empowerment, from separation into unity, from hatred into love or visa versa, it speaks of a journey of deep inner transformation, of seeing the darkness within and around us, to see the truth, and to find acceptance, to bring ourselves from separation back into unity. From Hell back into Heaven. Heaven To Hell comes with two remixes from Vanessa’s partner, Eden Burns.  Vanessa’s album “Vanessa 77", delayed due to the pandemic is out July 10th (vinyl / digital).

Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce June 26th 2020

Flippen Disks follows up their much acclaimed label-debut with an intriguing second release by Yuto Takei named “Bells From The East EP”.
Yuto Takei’s first vinyl release displays a wide array of sounds with a particular interest in rhythmic experiments and the negotiation of sonic space.

The Tokyo-based producer and DJ takes the listener onto a trip through deep spheres, percussive workouts, jammy compositions and electronic psychedelia, leaving the listener at times startled as to whether it is humans that are manipulating machines, or vice-versa.

Having worked as an electronic music composer for video games such as Gran Tourismo, this uncanny valley is known territory for the artist. It is, however, further explored on this four tracker, staying true to Flippen Disks paradigm of releasing club-oriented music, non-functional enough to not only be danced but also listened to.

Title track Bells From The East is an 8 minute jam, in which a krauty psych attitude pairs up perfectly with the goofy lead melody.
