Schrödinger’s Box found a true audio delinquent when they discovered Rapha. Resident at Alphabet Club in Tel Aviv, this is a musician who creates tracks with a punk attitude and a painted acid smile. The co-founder of Chateau Royal arrives with four blistering numbers for our box. After the pounding percussion and 303 smears of “Ivanka”, this sidewinder synthesist unfurls the brooding darkness that is “Transform.” Lighter tones pierce the gloom in the carefully crafted “Visionia” before The Exaltics lands for some deep and dreamy electro with an incredible remake of “Voyager101.” Rapha’s original of “Voyager101” closes the 12”. Rasping rhythm patterns cut a path for rich dauby analogue bars in this stripped-back, late-night close.

Kolomensky - Other People

PREMIERE: Kolomensky - Other People [Hand to Hand]

The queue stretched round the block and it showed no signs of moving anytime soon. People had been waiting here since before the doors opened, eager to hear what all the fuss was about. Since this space had opened, it had been impossible to get in, but the rave reviews kept the crowds coming back, hoping for a glimpse of this so-called utopia. You needed a stroke of luck to make it through the entrance...

Following a handful of remix packages, Inside Out Records return with an original solo EP from Zillas On Acid, marking his debut on the London-based label. With both eyes fixed firmly on the dance floor, the three original tracks transport you to a dark sweaty basement, urging you to oscillate to revving bass lines, soaring acid lines and warped vocal samples. Zillas On Acid's originals are joined by two remixes from Fantastic Twins and Black Merlin, who drive the tracks into psychedelic and hypnotic spaces.

PREMIERE: Zillas On Acid - A Wonderful Time in A Terrible Club [Inside Out Rec]

The sky was clearer than ever tonight, its canvas studded with a thousand stars. The night air felt cool on her face as she made her way to the top of the hill to gaze at the atmosphere above; a ritual that had now become a part of her daily life. From up here she could see everything; the hazy lights emitting from the village below, the pylons that seemed to tower over the landscape and the winding river that stretched for miles. From up here, she felt on top of the world, like a predator presiding over its empire...

Dischi Autunno bosses Jennifer Cardini and Noura Labbani have been hard at work on their label's next dispatch: a whopping 22 track compilation split across two parts. Exploring the plethora of sounds that orbit the imprint—from electro, italo and acid to synthwave, coldwave and lo-fi— 'Intermezzo' unites artists from across these musical spectrums, including previous label mates like Curses, Pablo Bozzi, Chinaski, The Golden Filter and Younger Than Me, as well as new, burgeoning talent including Mogambo, Zillas on Acid and A Strange Wedding.

The 10th project of Dance All Day features talented LA based DJ, producer, and live performer Michael P, known as Omega Forest aka Ole Mic Odd. He made appearance for DAD earlier on with a 90's dream house styled DJ mix. Now Michael is back showcasing five mystical tracks which embrace a new sound that would be safe to consider RPG influenced club music. These eclectic tracks are filled with club kicks and fast hats rolling behind layers of magical synth leads, dreamy grooved out bass lines, and nostalgic pads.

Tracklist:

1. Pan's Garden
2. One For Kedaar
3. Mushroom Snake
4. Larka Island Race
5. Neon Tetra

PRE-ORDER

Modular Windfall is a collection of live recorded tracks created using my eurorack modular synthesiser as an instrument. Each track is based on a unique patch created just for that piece, and I record everything live from start to finish to capture a one-off improvised production.

This was not pre-conceived or planned project but just brings together a windfall of music I created during a particularly productive 18 months during which I was submitting tracks to the monthly EscherMusicConnection event in Bristol - amazing local community of talented, up-and-coming electronic producers and artists showcasing their music and organised by the legendary Elevator Sounds team and I am dedicating this track to them. I hope you enjoy it.

Released April 7, 2023

Jaipur 🦋 Daniel Hokum, Ykonosh - Shadowman remix

Dj Wedding debuts on Italo Moderni with 6 powerful original tracks with hypnotic electro/Italo bass lines to keep the disco packed, inevitably taking you on a dark mystical journey through the undercurrents. The use of strings and arpeggiators is magnetic and alluring while being reminiscent of John Maus and Adrian Marth's first album Miracolo. Dj Wedding based on Moscou, Russia brings ferocity while seasoned with nostalgia, it feels like you are venturing through the dark willows of a hedonistic night with ringing melodic electro vibes and a powerful emotional charge thrusting you towards the only glimmer of light.

PREMIERE⚡️DJ Wedding - Hypnosis [Italo Moderni]

While the German producer Martin Matiske averages a new release under his given name every few years, there was a long stretch of time in which sightings of his Blackploid alias were much more rare. After dropping an EP for Frustrated Funk in 2006, fans found further material hard to come by over the next decade or so. However, Matiske has reinvigorated Blackploid in recent times, with the project making a few compilation appearances and dropping a couple of EPs across 2020.
That run now culminates in Cosmic Traveler, a four-track affair which marks Matiske’s debut appearance on Sheffield’s Central Processing Unit. Given the long wait, it’s great just to see Blackploid back among the fray once again. But for the project’s CPU curtain-raiser to be an EP of such high-quality techno jams? Now that really is spoiling us.
Cosmic Traveler’s title nods towards the sort of stargazing aesthetics one finds in classic Detroit techno. However, while there are undoubtedly ties to the Motor City in this music, the record ultimately steers less towards spacious atmospherics and more towards the taut, lean machine-funk of seminal practitioners like Dopplereffekt.
Matiske sets his stall out from the off. Opener ‘Electric Engine’ begins with a run of stiff-necked 808 kicks before hissing hi-hats, a grizzly bassline and all manner of futuristic sounds enter to warp the tune into hyperspace. Following cut ‘Night Drive’ repeats the trick of ‘Electric Engine’ but adds a pleasingly dinky synth lead in order to nudge itself slightly towards bleep-techno territory.
The two cuts on Cosmic Traveler’s B-side are pure late-night goodness, a pair of mid-set heaters primed for dark basements. ‘Pleasure Activism’ delivers on the promise of its title and then some, pushing the Kraftwerk template to extremes by bringing a load of gnarly synth lines into play over a wobbling acidic chug. Finally, EP closer ‘The Race’ is reminiscent of both the twisted machine-funk of Gerald Donald’s Japanese Telecom project and the playful modern evolutions of artists like fellow CPU high-flyer Jensen Interceptor.
The resurgence of Martin Matiske’s Blackploid project continues with Cosmic Traveller, an EP of timeless electro-funk and techno.

Cosmic Traveler

PREMIERE : Blackploid - The Race

This is a project made to support Switch Pocket Club in these times of pandemic, a small iconic bar in the Gracia neighborhood of Barcelona and home to the underground electronic culture of the city. All the artists involved in this compilation used to play at the club and wanted to collaborate by giving exclusive tracks. The result is a variety of genres but well connected, from slowmo to electro, house and techno with powerful tunes and other deeper ones and a hint of acid. This will be the first release of Lucasian Records, a new label created for the occasion by Deckard (owner of Switch Pocket Club).

PREMIERE : Adrian Marth - Future Job
