We’re happy to announce the reissue of this italo club classic on 12″ vinyl. Written by Goomy aka Duke Lake aka Antonio Gabelli and produced by Alessandro Zanni and Stefano Cundari for the legendary Memory Records imprint back in 1983. This action-packed-track was one of those few italo disco productions that made it to the US airwaves with radio play on stations like WBMX. The original release was a double A-side while it mistakenly stated it had an instrumental version. This instrumental was nowhere to be found on the master tapes, so our in-house production duo Vanzetti & Sacco made one for the flip side after almost 30 years! Time for changes, time for love…

Faxe - Time For Changes (Original Version)

“Fantasia 85” is an instrumental track by Greek pop-rock artist Kostas Tournas. Originally released in 1984, the track appeared on the b-side of his record “Tora Tora Tora”, and till now it has been a very hard to find treasure for music diggers and DJs.
Boys’ Shorts edit transform it into a six minute cosmic disco journey. In their own words: “We always loved that track, and the idea was to work with it in such a way that we can mix it in our DJ sets. We wanted to keep the basic melody and respectfully work with the elements of the original track. When we included it in our mixtape for Permanent Vacation, many people got in touch with us, asking where to find it. In collaboration with Amour Records and Kostas Tournas, we decided to release FANTASIA 85 on a 100 copy limited edition vinyl that contains our edit and an edit by the French producer Lacquer”.



The Greek DJ / producer duo Boys’ Shorts was founded by Thessaloniki-based artist Vangelis and London-based artist Tareq. 

Been friends for over a decade, they had spend endless hours on the decks together DJing all around Greece and Europe, until they decided to form this music project and share their love for electronic music. 

Their music is a blend of all the things they mix in their DJ sets, from disco to breaks and slow techno to acid. It’s music to make people dance as they say. 

They’ve previously had releases on labels such as Super Drama, Local Suicide’s ‘iptamenos Discos’ as well as Josh Caffe’s ‘Love Child’, and they have delivered remixes for artists like Kasper Bjorke, Yuksek w/ Polo & Pan, Mala Ika, Kito Jempere ft. Wolfram to name a few, whilst their remix for Casey Spooner was included in the Red Hot + Free compilation.

Other Goodness, the Berlin based imprint returns for their fifth release later this month, with two heavyweights of underground electronic music in tow. Andrew Meecham and Sean Johnston join forces for their first collaborative release, as Unknown Genre. Meecham, the multi-aliased producer better known as The Emperor Machine comes together with Johnston AKA Hardway Bros to create two blistering originals, which arrive backed with a remix from Heavenly Recordings’ trio The Orielles.

Opening track Elevator Ride is a driving acid-heavy number, replete with dense layers of drum machines and piano stabs that reverberate off into the cosmos. The propulsive rhythms and arpeggiated synths grab a hold of you and take you on this elevator ride into another dimension. 

Cthulhu Macula on the other hand is a hypnotic slice of low-slung tribal acid. The dub-drenched track’s mantric chanting hook you in to the groove, as it builds around you, with swirling percussion and a heavy 303 bassline underpinning proceedings.

The package is rounded off with The Orielles unique take on the title track. The group considerably pull down the tempo and take the track off into ambient territory, channeling Kraftwerk to create a deeply emotive tapestry of sound, adding vocal snippets, melodica and even shoegaze guitars to the original track’s reverberated piano stabs.

Tracklist: 

1. Elevator Ride
2. Cthulhu Macula
3. Elevator Ride (The Orielles Ambient Mix)

PREMIERE: Unknown Genre - Elevator Ride [Other Goodness]

In the midst of the summer of 1988, a duo of artist from Belgium and Italy got together in the surroundings of the infamous X-rated film Rocket 23 Studios Molenbeek to build a seductive sound.

Originally involved in the cinematography and art direction of adult movies, the two mavericks decided to compose the soundtrack of what was going to become a cult movie of the late 80s erotique era: "Sexo y Fantasia".

The Belgian and Italian directors discovered back then the new beat, proto house and italo sound at the underground Ghent disco club "La Pircardía” and at “Club Spaziale” in Rimini, after their wet shooting days. Inspired by this bubbling European hype, they added features and distorted vocals from the X-rated movies they were filming at that time to the melody and beat of the soundtrack. The result is a powerful, unexpected and deep collection of tunes that sound fresh and vibrant today.

These unique tracks get to see the light of the day again thanks to the finding of the filthy master tapes together with a provocative fanzine somewhere in Brussels. Its images served as raw material for the adult artwork.

"Sexo y Fantasia" gets now revisited by current producers on the leftside of the beat: t-woc uses his masterful expertise to build an atmosphere of Balearic layouts, while Alexander Arpeggio works his way around a hypnotic and punchy remix of the original theme.

Recommended listening experience while eating.

Something very special here with Slow Motion’s 48th release. 

Recorded while experimenting with gear at CIMM studios (Venice Biennale’s centre for computer music which Bottin co-designed in 2019), EYE-BM is a joint release between two of our heaviest hitters: hairy Fabrizio Mammarella and baldie Bottin. 

EYE-BM is three tracks of sinister music, sweaty electro with tinges of cyberpunky EBM and New Beat. The icing on the cake is the euphoric remix from Italian synth wave pioneer Alexander Robotnick. 
The acidic and jacking flavour might as well be the sound of your mind and body losing it on the dancefloor or missing your stop on the ass-bahn. Turn the dial up to 11. Or 12.

PREMIERE: Bottin & Mammarella - Eye-Bm 1 (Robotnick Remix)

From the bookshelves to the curtains and the once varnished table top, inches of dust covered the surfaces. Hoards of newspapers and old magazines stacked to ceiling height and baskets of trinkets and old gadgets cluttered the floor. The past had always fascinated him more than the present, it conjured up feelings of nostalgia that he preferred to linger in. Though the world continued to move forwards he was happy to stay exactly where he was.

For the best part of a decade, through their events and record label Madrid's Play Pal Music have been exploring the darker spaces of electronic music touching on disco, new wave, psychedelic and slo mo. Sandwiched between their lengthy discography of artist EPs, they've been sharing their Pals VA compilations which have called on artists from all over the world who choose to lurk in the shadowy corners. For their sixth instalment they've brought together the likes of Arvin Fajar, Leo af Ekenstam and Vongold, among others, for seven tracks that travel between the cosmic, the deep and the heady fringes of dance music.

In Flagranti needs no introduction they have been at it for more than 25 years. The project is a compressed package of all their experiments in music, art and graphics, and is defined by a raw cut'n'paste aesthetic and DIY attitude. This EP is no different featuring two magnificent tracks, with remixes by Eric Duncan and Fango also gracing this production from Mexico's Calypso Records.

Dust of Life, our 5 years compilation in double vinyl, by 20 artists from 17 countries that have left their mark in our history these past 5 years.

Creative offspring of Tushen Rai and Cornelius Doctor's musical fantasies, Hard Fist has been a non-profit project encompassing producers, graphic designers, djs and dreamy party worshippers since its inception in 2017.

“We would never have thought that this collective story would bring us this far, that it would take such a place in our lives and that it would bring us so many beautiful encounters. It was only possible to celebrate our 5th anniversary with the unreasonable idea of making something out of the ordinary.
So we thought big, a digger's dream: a double vinyl in limited edition with 20 artists from 17 countries gathered around exceptional collaborations: producers who have marked the history of the label these last 5 years, friends, but also peers, people who inspired us and gave us the desire to create Hard Fist.
In this Unidentified Noisy Object (U.N.O), you can expect borderless music flirting with Nu-Rave and No Wave, Cosmic Dub and Post-Punk, a slice of Psychedelic Electronica, a lot of Acid and a bit of Slow Goa Trance. As well as some beats of Krautrock played with an Afrobeat groove and a few Darkwave's synths. But not only that. It's never only that. But what is it then? Just a label without label, to dance and to explore.”

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...
