More fresh new talents from Lyon!! 

For this inaugural release the french label BFDM introduces two young promising producers aka The Pilotwings. Agorespace is an excursion, a trip where dark and killer drums meet with some soft melodies and primitive percussion.

“Trance Beats” is a wonky house track made up of hip-hop/jungle breaks and synthetic animal sounds, a powerful combination of tribal rhythm and creepy synths. On the same side comes “Cavernes Magiques”, a modern electronic tune where raw 707 jams gives way to Trippy dance pads, 90’s influences. On the other side a strong techno track contrasted with bright synths called “Cours-la-Ville”, a dark and long exploration.

B. Cours-La-Ville

Man Bro brings together two familiar Rotterdam voices: Charlton Ravenberg and Khalil Ryahi. What began as a run of late night hardware jams in a shared lockdown studio eventually shaped All Time High, an eight track album that drifts between coordinated chaos and stripped down rhythm. Techno, electro, acid and skeletal 808 drum patterns surface and fade, driven by hands on experimentation and intuition. Everything was built on analog machines and developed over the past few years.

Charlton’s background in rugged, left-of-centre techno shapes the heavier edge but also brings in the off-kilter chords and warped melodies that run through the record. Khalil, drawing on his Triphouse roots and years of steering the sound of Infinite Pleasure, handles much of the drum programming and detailed editing, giving the tracks their swing, structure and forward pull. Together they form a language that feels natural and direct, two working methods meeting in the middle.

All Time High arrives on December 19th as a super limited double LP edition of 25 copies, each featuring custom artwork by Steef Offerhaus, making every record its own piece. The release captures the pace of their city, years of friendship, and the unpolished energy of the sessions that shaped it documenting a project built on trust, improvisation, and the feel of machines in motion.

Ryan James Ford’s productions are rarely anything other than inspired. Through regular releases on Marcel Dettmann Records, Answer Code Request and his own SHUT imprint, Ford has proved to be an exciting producer, capable of mangling sounds and styles to fit his wide-ranging musical vision.
The Berlin-based Canadian arrives on Happy Skull with a label debut that dramatically emphasizes the point. While each of the four tracks features audible nods to a wealth of influences and inspirations, the bold individuality of the resultant cuts all but renders such comparisons redundant.
For example, EP opener “Ormst Kaban”, whose wild, crashing, off-grid breakbeats and twisted, foreboding electronics aggressively spar with glacial chords and icy textures. The 16 bit arpeggio lines of 'Hobrv Kegdit' are underpinned by powerful sub-bass tones and industrial drum-breaks that merge to create a densely sprawling mass of dance floor melancholia.
This pattern continues throughout the EP, with “Slown Ridel” and “Nos Ummi” balancing skittish, noise-seeped percussion with the dreamy, glassy-eyed swell of classic ambient and pioneering early ‘90s IDM.

Giallo Disco is more than happy to welcome one of the absolute O.Gs of the 2nd wave of horror synth, the one and only Kansas City Warrior turned Mr Dr Hollywood himself... Umberto, who's new EP 'Outskirts Of Reno' takes us deep into the seedy underbelly to tell the tale of a kidnapping. From the EBM dancefloor darkness of The Basement to the ascension-like arps of Repeat. Five brand new tracks from the master of mood destined to work it's way into the record bags of discerning DJs across the globe... and into the nightmares of the weak...

Umberto is a project by Los Angeles based composer Matt Hill. Starting in Kansas City, 2008, he began by writing scores to films which only existed in the ethereal realms of his imagination, combining influences from horror films of the late ’70s and early ’80s with Italo disco and ambient music. 

Antoni Maiovvi is a producer born in Bristol (UK), now located in Berlin.
Under the alias Antoni Maiovvi he follows the inspirations of Obscure Disco, Synth Disco and Italo-Disco.
He is one of the founders of Giallo Disco.
Electro-Disco Producer, DJ, Film Composer and Co-Owner of Giallo Disco Records

Outskirts Of Reno EP

Exit (Antoni Maiovvi Remix)

TL Premiere : Umberto - Exit (Antoni Maiovvi Remix) [Giallo Disco Records]

There was a tense atmosphere which hung in the old theatre, the red curtains parted and a beaming light emerged from the back of the stage with shocking vibrancy. He leant deep into his chair and watched as the show began to unfold before his eyes. In the darkness it was hard to tell who he was sat beside and who else might be watching with him, it should have been a private affair. Upon the old wooden stage dancers moved with provocative motion and intrigue. They left little to the imagination but delighted the fabulous crowd of oddballs. 

BAR Records was founded out of the base which was BAR, Rotterdam. An infamous venue which has sadly since closed but not without one hell of a fight. The label lives on and the next EP comes from Venderstrooik, an interesting, abstract affair which represents the weirder leanings of the venue. Sacha Mambo delivers a cutting remix.

PREMIERE: Venderstrooik - Escargothic (SM Champignon Dans La Forêt Remix) [BAR]

Le Jeune Flück, aka Lucas Lejeune and Carsten Fluck, make richly textured electronic music, with influences ranging from classic rave films to their local city's legacy as a home to sharp, cutting techno. Their new EP 'Disbelieve' is the follow up to 2016's 'Feonix' EP on Moonboutique records and features three original tracks ranging from emotive electro bombs to driving acid techno. 

As well as their own productions, Lejeune and Fluck have assembled a top class of exciting and inventive producers from across the continent, including Norwell, DJCJ, Dimitri Veimar, and Koloman Trax, for four atmospheric and pulsating remixes.

It's no secret we endorse the way Bandcamp supports artists and labels. Their unique approach on selling independent music is why we’ve opened an account 7 years ago and not even for a second did we regret it since.

On May 1, June 5, and July 3 Bandcamp is waiving their revenue share again (every first Friday of the month). It’s a reason for us to launch "Pinkman Digi Lab", our new digital only release series. Expect your monthly dose of experimental electronic albums served fresh and ready to download for a price you decide by yourself. That's right, pay whatever you want for a limited period.

First up, TYVYT|IYTYI. He previously released a cassette on Pinkman, and now the connoisseur of groove-fueled wave electronics returns with a 17-track album. Dark but not bleak, Untouchable is a rather mischievous dance with misery. Filled with coarse synth-lines, percussive kicks, pierced with eerie vocals and submerged into nostalgic ambience it’s a cinematic sound journey for those brave enough to take it.
