After spending years as a major presence in Brooklyn’s thriving music scene, Frankie Rose relocated to her familial home of Los Angeles for 18 months with the intention of establishing yet another moment in her storied indie rock métier. Gradually, she found herself short on sleep, funds and optimism. "I moved to LA, drama ensued and I ended up on a catering truck. I was like, how can this be my life after being a touring musician and living off of music. I had really lost my way and I thought I was totally done."

Through sleepless nights of listening to broadcaster Art Bell’s paranormal-themed archives, Frankie’s thoughts had turned to "who am I, I’m not cut out for this business, it’s not for me." She continues, "I was literally in my room in L.A., not knowing how I was going to get out. But out of it all, I just decided to keep making music, because it is what I love and what I do – regardless of the outcome."

Towards the end of her time spent in Los Angeles, Frankie reached out to Jorge Elbrecht (Tamaryn, Gang Gang Dance, Violens) and began sketching what became the basic outline of what felt like a new album. Then, rather fortuitously, Frankie ended up back in Brooklyn with the realization that "in the end, I’m on my own. I have to do these things on my own."

The months that ensued meant basically working with no budget and finding ways to record in-between days. This time enabled Frankie to experiment musically with a variety of people that ultimately changed the way she worked. "I got a lot of input from people like Dave Harrington (Darkside), who was helpful reconstructing the songs, adding dynamics and changing up the rhythms."

The result of this existential odyssey is Cage Tropical, Frankie’s 4th album. It is awash with vintage synths, painterly effects pedals, upside down atmosphere and reverberating vocals. It evokes a new wave paranormality of sorts that drifts beyond the songs themselves. "My references aren’t just music," says Frankie, "I love old sci-fi. They Live is one of my favorite movies ever, same with Suspiria. 80’s sci-fi movies with a John Carpenter soundtrack, with silly synths – that makes it into my file, to the point that I’ll write lyrics incorporating that kind of stuff. It’s in there."

Beginning with the shimmery, cinematic and percussive sparkling of the album’s opening track "Love in Rockets," the song’s refrain of "a wheel, a wheel of wasting my life: a wheel, a wheel of wasting my time" immediately alludes to those darker circumstances that led to the creative origins of Cage Tropical."It’s all essentially based on what happened to me in Los Angeles and then a return to Brooklyn," says Frankie. "Misery turned into something good. The whole record to me is a redemption record and it is the most positive one I’ve made"

 "I feel like I am finally free from worrying about an outcome. I don’t care. I already lost everything. I already had the worst-case scenario. When that happens, you do become free. In the end, it’s about me rescuing myself via having this record."

Frankie Rose - Trouble

As Catz ‘n Dogz get set to launch a new ‘Friends Of Pets’ compilation on their Pets Recordings imprint, Mixmag reveals a dreamy textured house remix by Kornél Kovács of @SLG’s ‘Varsovia Marimba’.
 
Throughout his career @kornel has mainly released his original material on Studio Barnhus, the label he co-founded with Axel Boman and Petter Nordkvist. That said, within the past few years he’s developed a reputation for being a sought after remixer, lending his talents to labels like R&S Records, Crosstown Rebels, Numbers., Rebirth and more. Now he graces Pets Recordings for the first time with his reimagining of ‘Varsovia Marimba’.
 
Staying true to the original’s melodic and rhythmic nature, Kovács leaves the core intact while adding increased energy and vocal chops that depict a yearning and emotive motif. It’s these subtle differences that allow the updated version of ‘Varsovia Marimba’ to deliver an irresistible groove.
 
Also found on the ‘Friends Of Pets’ compilation, which is set for release June 9 and celebrates Polish talent, are tracks by Catz ‘n Dogz, Marquis Hawkes, Earth Trax, The Analogue Roland Orchestra and more.

UK based DJ and producer Fort Romeau presents a deeply ethereal and atmospheric excursion with ‘Reasons’, his first self-released EP that showcases the scope of his hypnotic sound profile.
 
Following releases on Ghostly International, Cin Cin, Running Back and Live At Robert Johnson, For Romeau delivers his first original EP since last year’s ‘Secrets & Lies’. He’s touched on a variety of motifs throughout his career, from acid to more delicate styles, now he offers the full package with his latest release.
 
Paired with steady, driving rhythm and enveloping atmospherics Fort Romeau plays with seductive vocals to create an eerie, yet inviting soundscape on ‘Reasons’. The title track off the new EP builds into a crescendo of synth with a subtle release to cap off the dreamy production. 
 
Two more originals are found on the ‘Reasons’ EP, which is set for release June 16.

Young Bordeaux-based producer Leon Revol found support from the likes of Move D with his 2016 debut EP for Monologues Records 'Clear Definition'. Following releases on Secret Reels and Future Disco, he returns with another stunning collection of tracks that are considerably beyond his years. 'Pink Coffee' and 'Sun Is The Place' see him work pleasingly warm synth lines over organic percussion, 'Embers' channels more sunshine with its summery guitar licks and 'Birds' shows his depth wth a non-dancefloor workout reminiscent of Floating Points.

Crooked Man - Happiness (12" Version)

Lyrics:

Oh, someone took control of your world
Passed it onto somebody else
Never had a chance of a word

Oh, taking bets from Bangkok to France
Why sit down when you want to dance?
Let's change the way we look at the world

Well here's my thought
I’m in when you’re out
The pride you hide 
Goes up when I’m down
All my life I do what you say
Filling these lungs pretend it’s okay
Oh my God, there’s something I fear
In four years time there’s nothing you hear
Promise me it’s all gonna change
And nothing does it’s always the same

Now that your super fly
Walking in your suit and tie, yeah
Feeling all electrified while I got nothing to wear

Oh, someone took control of your world
Passed it onto somebody else
Never had a chance of a word

Oh, taking bets from Bangkok to France
Why sit down when you want to dance?
Let's change the way we look at the world

Listen close
We’re falling behind
Find new ways to nickel and dime
A problem sparks a thought in your head
Prove them wrong with something you read
Don’t feel bad it’s time that you knew
Can’t stop every lie coming true
This is how we show that we care
Our middle fingers up in the air

Now that you’re super fly 
Feeling all electrified, yeah
Take off that suit and tie 
And find something else to wear

Oh, someone took control of your world
Passed it onto somebody else
Never had a chance of a word

Oh, taking bets from Bangkok to France
Why sit down when you want to dance?
Let's change the way we look at the world

We really had an attitude
Since we quit our jobs
How long will the deal last?
Just trying to be different

Colfax
