Melodic Techno / Deep House - part 2

Vintage synth fetishist Italo Brutalo brings you his superb sophomore album Second Horizon, released 29th May on his and his girlfriend very own Bungalo Disco label. The German producer possesses an incredible armoury of retro analogue synths, and he certainly knows how to use them. And push them to their limits. Congratulations, listener. You are about to step into an alternate electronic universe.

Kicking off with City Sight, every synth is a joy. Warm tones, clear, crisp symbols and snares. A beautiful melody intertwined with acid tweaks and dreamy vocoder vocals, sounding almost more keys than voice. And that 80s drum machine line. There are five different decades where this modern classic would feel right at home.

You want it darker? Here comes Memory Sync, bursting through your loading screen like an end of level baddy. Press ‘play’ and you will know exactly what I mean. The hi hat and kick drum pattern on Digital Freedom is to die for, the acid bass and Italo disco melody giving your day an instant serotonin boost.

Surveillance State kicks the tempo up more than a notch, this eerie 3-D soundscape literally makes you feel as though you are being watched by a Machiavellian force. You can literally feel the paranoia oozing from your speakers. Technology is like a souped-up Kraftwerk 33 played on 45. Close your eyes and imagine stop-frame footage of robots in a car factory. Just brilliant. Heiss Oder Kalt (Hot Or Cold) is a perfect title for this lush mix of warm and cool synths, with a vocal sample reminiscent of a mad scientist.

Chasing Shadows, The first single to be released from Second Horizon, is just damn well exciting. It’s like you’re driving K.I.T.T. on turbo boost, in pursuit of the Midnight Express. Strap yourself in as Italo Brutalo hits the TB-303 button on the console for an acid fuel injection. Just when you thought it couldn’t get better, the joyous robotic vocal kicks in. I dare you to try and stay still whilst Chasing Shadows plays. It’s impossible.

Free To Move takes the tempo down a notch, robotic melodies dancing with each other in beautiful synchronicity, giving life to a beautiful android, leading perfectly into Black Gold, a soundscape rich enough to deserve to grace a Hollywood masterpiece.

Human Code is a perfect companion piece to City Sight. Drop this one in a club and see the reaction. Pure bliss. Then comes dark and sleazy low tempo I am a creator pulls you into the thought process of Italo Brutalo, before Tonight finishes this perfect long player off to a joyous, satisfying conclusion.

Musical visionaries often find it difficult to write that difficult second album. With Second Horizon, Italo Brutalo has brought you an original masterpiece. Enjoy.

When Radial Gaze meets Nicola Kubebe, the result is Iron Pinky Toad, a title that sounds like a secret kung-fu move or a lost cartoon book. But don’t be fooled, this one hits hard.

The long-awaited collaboration brings three original tracks: Phantom Limb, Lights of Phoenix, and the title cut Iron Pinky Toad. They effortlessly blend slow-burning tribal techno with the raw pulse of new beat, all wrapped in an early techno shell. Imagine dancing barefoot in a ritual under a disco eclipse. You’re getting close.

To complete the record, Playground Records boss Martin Noise joins forces with rising sensation Anastasia Zems, taking the release into full-blown dancefloor sorcery. The groove runs deep, the bass is sweaty, and the toad… well, the toad is on fire.

Out Friday, July 18, 2025, via THISBE Recordings. Available on vinyl and digital. Spin it, stream it, or whisper its name into the smoke at 3AM. Either way, the dancefloor will not know what hit it.

Let the amphibian groove begin.

'Radondo’s Chance EP features two standout tracks — “Doubt” and “Leather” — that perfectly embody his signature dark sound, skillfully blending his Italo, EBM, and New Beat influences.

The Italo maestro himself, none other than Franz Scala, graces the label for the first time with his unmistakable style and refined sound, delivering a magnificent remix of Radondo’s original track “Doubt.” 

Having previously hosted Franz at one of our events, we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome him back — this time to contribute an exceptional piece of music to the label.'

Taken from "Bootleg Contraband - Dead In The Water EP (SECTION EIGHT MUSIC). Out August 15th 2025. Buy here : https://sectioneightmusic.bandcamp.com

Bootleg Contraband surfaces with Dead In The Water (Section Eight Music, SEM059), a forward-driving EP set for release on August 15. Fusing the raw pulse of classic House with a future-minded edge, the project features standout remixes from Chicago legend Ron Carroll, Miguel Ante, and the electrifying Shaun J. Wright. Bootleg Contraband also deliver two of their own reworks—including a gritty, genre-bending breaks remix—pushing the sonic boundaries even further. Dead In The Water isn’t just a nod to the past; it’s a bold rewrite of what’s next.
Artist Quote - "“Having a true legend like Ron Carroll remix Dead In The Water is an incredible honor. Alongside talented artists Miguel Ante, Randall Dean, Shaun J. Wright, and the twisted remix from R34L, each version brings a fresh, exciting take on our track. We’re proud to share this project with people we admire and inspired by how they push the sound forward.” - Bootleg Contraband"

Kastis Torrau & Donatello - Fly (Preview Cut) [925 Music]

The beginnings of the Politeca project date back to early 2006 when it's originators, Andy Holt & Dave Gardner, had an idea to infuse their shared love of Detroit techno with a visual theme revolving around their recent discoveries of how the world REALLY worked through documentaries & movies such as Peter Joseph's 'Zetigeist', Jacque Fresco's 'Future By Design' and Stephen Gaghan's 'Syriana' to name a few. 

'Reverso', with it's accompanying imagery, is a plea to undo some of the steps we've taken as a race - a sense that we've walked too far down the wrong path and we need to check ourselves before we really go too far - slam the machine into reverse if you will. 

'Reverso', in all it's audio glory, is a string-laden UR-inspired techno slammer. 

The original brings you a mountain of drum percussion locked together by a Detroit string hook. A confident bassline continues the story until the string crescendo leaving you suitable impressed. 

Matthias Vogt delivers a patient calculated version focusing on the main characteristics of the piece weaving the string laden melodies perfectly. 

Ricky Ryan & Kosmas houseify the elements with funk fused percussion and Kosmic pad manipulation with the understanding that the lid must be kept on at ALL times. 

Vince Watson drives the percussive beats reminiscent of 'French Kiss' before leading you down dark alleyways of ethno percussion.
