From the cosmos of Stretford on the outer realms of Manchester comes the kaleidoscope view of the world according to Psychederek and it's an explosive trip of shoe gaze soaked balearica on this super limited vinyl release!

Lead track Screamadereka heads straight into orbit from the get go with a stop off to thank the likes of The Cocteau Twins & Death In Vegas for their influence along the way. Huge drums, spaced out synths, warped guitars & a fully charged love in style vocal all wrapped up in a mushroom flavoured microdot with a pretty empowering finale.

I'm Alright steps up the ante a bit more and goes all Tomorrow Never Knows on us but with added warehouse acid squelch & rasps throbbing out from a beat that is broken (but not break beat!) whilst still retaining the psychedelic tendencies of its predecessor.  

Sean Johnston steps off the ALFOS rocket ship and joins forces with Duncan Gray for their Hardway Bros Meet Monkton Disco Dub take of Screamadereka and the result is a hive of cosmic mutant disco brilliance whilst Manchester's finest 6 piece See Thru Hands turn I'm Alright into bombastic focused UKG style wig out duet complete with new vocal takes by DNCN for seriously wonky floors & like minded souls.

For the digital release there is also an extra helping from Hardway Bros & Monkton where they ramp up the wonk factor & go even more horizontal than the original!

Limited vinyl release comes with an incredible exclusive insert drawn by Manchester local artist Emma Evans and features a visual interpretation of the Space Arcade E.P.

Freeride Millenium's (@freeridemillenium) IMPACT series serves up a second volume of innovative electronic sounds, this time from Delicate Features (@delicate_features), On Bells, Venice Arms, Younger Than Me, Birds & Zamal. IMPACT extends a lockdown conversation that label boss Jorkes had with Lisa Jäge about how essential parties are for freedom of expression. During those times, it was brought home that club culture is vital for exchanging ideas and feelings, drives change and provokes debate about everything from gender identification to sexual liberation. As such, the pair set up discussions under titles such as 'Clubs as Places for Freedom and Emancipation’ at the WAF Galerie that Lisa co-curates. Planned new talks will coincide with the two further instalments of IMPACT, the first of which manifests musically with this superb six-track collection. Russian-Armenian collective Delicate Features open up and describe the music they make as "soundtracks to Rene Magritte's pictures, where day and night exist together." Their 'Without You' is a beautifully delicate and late-night track with spine-tingling vocals and icy chords. On Bells then feature d.r.a.b. on 'Alive', three minutes of heavenly vocals offset by dark bass and chords. There is a bitter-sweet melancholy to it that leaves a lasting impression. Venice Arms is a new side project from acclaimed dark disco artist Curses, and 'On Ur Mind' is a cavernous bass track with old school jungle influences and shimmering melodies that bring a state of euphoria. Berlin-based, Italy-born Younger Than Me is a rebel who brings old rave energy to new school club sounds on labels, including Duro and NEIN. His 'Miss Gilda' is a slow and heavy groove with grinding drums and coarse synths unfolding up top. Birds is East London's Katie Wilkinson, who fuses new wave 80s goth, techno, psychedelic and experimental on her shadowy and bleak yet alluring 'A Pointless Trip'. Last comes Germany based US emigree Zamal, a Dj who holds a residency at the label’s Romantica Club parties. Here he brings his broad musical taste to 'Inthevoid', a deep and dynamic techno track with cerebral synths. IMPACT Vol. 2 is another superb collection of avant-garde club sounds. Volume one is out now, the third is due in February 2022, and all instalments come with photography and artwork by Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Focusing on an exquisite combination of Disco-influenced Deep House gems and Italo-infused Indie Dance cuts, the London-based label Midnight People has been delivering top-notch material since its birth in 2020. With a mix of acclaimed and established artists plus rising and promising stars, the output of the British imprint is definitely something. And for its forthcoming instalment, Midnight opens its doors to Parallel, a skilled British producer who brought a proper pack of delicious originals to showcase his sonority. On the remix duties, bold and creative Birds injects some Post-Punk, New Wave attitude to deliver a powerful interpretation of “Seven Close Suns”, the title track.

“Thermal readings are very high due to the action of seven close suns. What a strange planet”. 

If you are a vintage anime aficionado as Parallel himself is, you have probably heard about “Ulysses 31”, a 1981 French-Japanese series that adapts the Greek mythology of Odysseus (known as "Ulysses" in Latin) to the 31st century. The EP dives into space and technology themes, incorporating sounds and dialogues from the series, arranged over driving Italo basslines and bouncing hi-hats.

We decided to review the most cosmic piece of the release: The so-called Moon Version of “Seven Close Suns”. Its trippy and atmospheric aura transports us to the universe of “Ulysses 31” and to the rich and ingenious realm of Parallel, who decided to deliver not one, but two interpretations of his own work – something definitely not so usual to see. Kudos! 

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

Counterterraism Guest Mix 207: Ducati Flux

Stephanos Pantelas alias Elninodiablo began his musical journey collecting vinyl - He would play on the airwaves of pirate radio stations, eventually making the move from Cyprus to the booming electronic scene of mid-90s London. His DJing skills soon earned him a resident position in the booth of some of the hottest queer clubs of the time, including The End, Turnmills and Fabric - representing the likes of Horse Meat Disco, Salsoul Records, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Mulatu Astatke, Tegan & Sara, !K7, Strut Records and more over the years.

2021 saw the launch of acclaimed releases, Shadow Dancer‘, Dorothea’s Rainbow‘ and, Lunchbox Candy‘ that come with stunning music videos by Adam Munnings and remixes by Prins Thomas, Emperor Machine, Each Other, Ray Mang and Perel amongst others.

“When it comes to sound, I’m inspired by my natural surroundings and life experiences. I’m fascinated with how sound can be a lived-in encounter having transformative qualities for both the artist and the audience. I envision to create mini-worlds with each piece of music, transporting the listener into a journey that bridges the gap between the conscious and the unconscious. I love the thrill of free improvisation, feeding off my collabortors and the crowd’s energy to create something new and unexpected. I take these experiences in the studio with me and aim at creating from a point of not knowing. That’s where the magic happens.”

Im not dead

tici taci - bringing you electric funk rekkids at tempos below 120 bpm. No pre-packed freeze dried loops here, all tracks have live instruments well to the fore, from funky wah-wah guitars and deep chunky bass to temperamental analogue synthesisers and live percussion.

Now 2 years later (July 2015) we're at 23 releases from a range of artists and remixers, with one release scheduled each month.


Duncan Gray (biog) : Perhaps best known as one half of the Sons of Slough along with Ian Weatherall - see discogs entry for details of releases. The Sons were a formidable Live act (see You tube) playing regularly across the UK. DG's own releases also gained some popularity, starting with cuts for Scatological (1996) Blue Black, Whole9Yards, SaltHill, through to Aquamelon (2009). Since returning to music production in 2013 he has released tracks on NEIN, Eskimo, Blindetonation, Play Pal, Rock to The Beat, plus Andrew Weatherall's vinyl only Birdscarer label. He has played guitar on half a dozen AW remixes.

Yes, I do want to hear new tracks. I am always interested in music which features REAL INSTRUMENTS - or electronic originality. I'm getting fussy these days...please email files to the email address above. (don't just send a soundcloud link please) If you don't know what the sound of this label is like, don't bother sending me stuff. I get quite a few demos with a note saying "I love the sound of your label" from producers who have clearly never listened to any of our releases.

PLEASE NOTE : 2020 release schedule now full, but I can always make room for something spectacular, or a really cool remix...
