Underground Pacific’s latest offering, “The Only Good Wave Is a Next One”, feels deft and elegant. Through its post-punk and new wave underpinnings- tap-hissing kicks, chunky synth-wobbles, and bleached vocals- clear, fluid top notes give the sound a modern feel. The results are refractive yet moody, careful yet powerful, mature, and considered.

This compilation features a choice array of international artists from Italians Amarcord (MEET Compact Club, Ombra Int’l) and Italo-disco frontrunner Marcello Giordani (50% Marvin and Guy, known also as Italo Deviance) to Leipzig-based artist-musicians New Hook (Riotvan, Live at Robert Jonson, Ombra Int’l).
Californian Underground Pacific’s labelmaster Cantor, Robert E. Livingood (of Ombra Int’l), and Mexican Alf Champion (Fucanglong, Optimo Music) contribute tracks from across the Atlantic and complete the release’s lineup.

Italian DJ and producer Amarcord has been making soundtracks for neon lit night drives for the past couple of years now on labels such as Ombra International and Correspondant. Making his debut here for Eskimo - as part of Curses’ Next Wave Acid Punx compilation - Amarcord delivers a sleazy sounding electro number that grinds along with increasingly distresses soun- ding angular synths and Kraftwerk‘esque bleeps pulse over the hypnotic 105bpm rhythm.

INCOMING : Amarcord - Sacrificio #MINITEL
BUY : https://hypeddit.com/minitel/sacrificio
Release date : 2024-06-28

After finally being able to watch “Starting a music label for dummies” on our good ol’ Videocassette Recorder, we felt that the time had come for our 4+ year-old media to get up to speed and embark on a new journey.

Today, we are delighted to welcome Amarcord – one of our top artists – on our very first EP.

Marco Catapano is an Italian producer, DJ and live performer. His music – floating in a realm between romantic lullabies and dark atmospheres – translates a deep love for the sounds of the past such as New Wave, Post-Punk and Krautrock, reinvented through the perspective of electronic and dance music modern waves.

Also a cinema lover, his EP “Sacrificio” tells a fantastic two-act story.

The EP’s first act “Sacrificio” is a track where powerful bass lines intertwine with a killer kick, trance synth tones and melodic layers enhanced by Marco’s voice, giving it some dramatic yet harmonious tension.

The second and final act “See Them Go” is a splendid Indie-Pop ballad with an airy New Wave influence. It’s a happy ending in a very different style than Sacrificio’s, showing Marco’s wide range of creativity.

Grazie mille Signore Amarcord.
