A list of 1980s disco, new wave and Italo Disco edits we did in recent years for you to enjoy.

The Robot Scientists Edits

Our next release ‘Pebbles Mind Horrors’ comes straight from beyond the grave. Two old Mijo & Theus Mago collaborations that were resurrected after 5 years of burial in the cementery of Ableton projects (Los Ricos, Los Pobres) plus a brand new addition (Pebbles) make this EP a powerful tool for the dancefloor revival.

The opener track gives the name to the EP, a reflection of a weird nightmare, where spoken language had been abandoned and people communicated exclusively through dance moves and binary code. Robust bass, desolated synthesizers, distorted voices, glitches, and a high sugar percussion set from Rocco Desentis bring the track to life.

The next two gems, "Nosotros Los Pobre" and "Ustedes Los Ricos" are inspired by "golden age" Mexican cinema, two narcotic and deep cut of dystopian techno. In the remix side, to take it even further to the limit, we have a raw, devastating and malevolent cut by the Multi-Culti sorcerer, Mytron.

Curated by respected Swedish producers Mårten Attling and Janne Berglund, respectively and better known as Mindbender and Högt I Tak (SXDNS179), the young but promising imprint When Disco Goes Wrong sees its very first compilation come to light. Featuring, yes, Swedish artists only, the volume 1 brings Daniel Savio, Pufferfisk, The Machine Soul, and Envelope Follower, some of the favourite local heroes of the label honchos.

The Italo/synth/electronica-duo Pufferfisk consists of Anna Gavanas and Peter Eriksson. Influenced by synth pioneers Laserdance, Jean Michael Jarre, and Fancy, the project was created in 2011 and has delivered three releases so far: The EP “Bolero” (2016), the album “Retrofututismo” (2017), and the EP “We are Pufferfisk” (2020).

Anna & Peter make their debut on When Disco Goes Wrong with “El Rincon Del Pollo”, a caliente and spicy Italo Disco-infused piece that showcases the true sonority of the duo. Trippy synth layers, smooth cosmic pads, and a sober acid coat were competently brought together to make up one of the highlights of the Scandinavian compilation.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://whendiscogoeswrong.bandcamp.com/

3 Edd Brave - Africx (SLCTV Remix)

The duo from Guadalajara (Mexico) deliver their EP ‘Storm In A Teacup’, a tribute to acid humor & their fashion, cinema and rock idols/icons.
The release opens with ’Rebecca’, a track unsettling in all aspects, strings out of tune, naughty arpeggios delicately bouncing over psychedelic notes and the highlighted Koto dragging us to perceive the world music fibers. The hilarious and unveiling lyrics with monthly horoscope vibes is born from the main character on Fargo Devianti & Vongold's favorite film ‘Ghost World’.
‘Heather’ on the other hand, is an organic composition that drags us to feel under the influence of a Neopunk Pit on the club. Vongold on her behalf, delivers us some lyrics and vocals as an allegory to clubbing nights, to the banal trend of social media, pop icons viral news and peculiar quotes of 90's movies disguised with electrifying guitars, intriguing melodies and a catchy bass line rescued from the insides of Fargo Devianti elements that will definitely kick up dust on the dance floors.
To close up the EP, there are two remixes included: one of them by 'Trio
Misterio' (project by Azaria, Alvaro Cabana and Lebollet) in which they make a more hypnotic and trippy interpretation of Rebecca's own, while SCADTA's rework (Colombian artist Sergio Iglesias y German producer Tilman Benecke) offers a New Beat / EBM flavored version of the track “Heathers’.

Blavatsky & Tolley - Purple Kin [Evil Plans]

Naive is Mauro Mart's new project. DJ and Producer with several years of career, always in the constant search of new soundscapes, this new project was born influenced by artists from the Psychedelic Disco Scene. “Lost Tape” should have been released on Nothing Is Real Records, but due to an accident on his computer, he could not recover the file from a backup and was impossible to make a proper mastering. It sounds good enough for a freebie, doesn’t it?

Flashback to 2008 when we started off on myspace and with this edit and profile pic into hyperspace. The original has just been re-released on zyx. Here is the remaster version of our edit.

Magic Men - Popcorn (The Robot Scientists No More Popcorn Edit) - Remaster - Free DL

Jean-Jacques Perrey from Paris was one of the first Moog musicians, creating "far out electronic entertainment" already in the 1960s. He released albums with names we love like "Musique Electronique Du Cosmos (Electronic Music From Outer Space)" (1962) or "Cadmus Le Robot De L'Espace" even from 1959. We ran into "Cosmic Bird", this fantastic tune he recorded with Air in 2000 roughly, recently on an old CD, burnt from Audiogalaxy and Soulseek shares in the early 2000s which we didn't listen to for decades. It reminded us somehow of our first edit of "Popcorn" by Magic Men (and the original of course, the first synth chart hit by Hot Butter from 1972). It not only has a futuristic, but also a fun side to it and a psychedelic one too, like our favorite Italo tracks, so we decided to edit it to take the wonderful hypnotic madness of the original to the extreme. :) Enjoy! And listen to the original whereever you can find it.
