NEW BEGINNINGS

Kri Records strike back with a cassette compilation under an appropriate name: Trust the Rust! Rust dealers come from all over the globe. 

Nasty electro cuts are served by LA-based Ole Mic Odd who has released on labels such as Zement, Italian producer and the mighty Gravitational Waves owner DJ Nephil, British veteran Chupacabras with seals of approval on L.I.E.S. among others, and our Russian friend Larionov, who regularly puts out bangers for Rotterdam Electronix. 

The Electro part of the compilation is rounded by the local Ljubljana legend operating as a DJ and Honest Work label owner, 198319831983. EBM-ish march is saluted by Black Dot, the duo of Christian Kroupa and Le Chocolat Noir, soon releasing music on Mechatronica and responsible for our first release. Christian has also joined forces with the Dallas and Science Cult native Aura Nox. NYC and wave EBM bangers are represented by R Gamble, Spinal is an up-and-coming producer from Chile having released a great EP on Pildoras Tapes, while Bianco Negativo is an Italian duo behind one of our fav labels, Marguerite Records. 

10 tracks exploring the dark corners of Kri Records are available on a super cute cassette or digitally via Bandcamp.

PREMIERE: Thomas/Mayer - So Mad

Deep beneath the mountain was hidden treasure. Nestled within a cave they hoped that by the end of the long hunt and the vicious trip that they may find the infamous black gold which had escaped them for so long. The search party had travelled far and wide and some had come from as far away as Japan to find the deepest sense of mystery which lurked beneath the might hill. The cliff face was rugged and jagged as they looked upwards from base camp, the only way down was up and that was the next step upon the quest...

Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï appear on Hard Fist with a new EP packed with hypnotic magic and intriguing melody. Percussion bangs in all glory and this one is right for the deep, moody dancefloor.

PREMIERE: Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï - Black Gold [Hard Fist]

Progetto Tribale was born in 1992 under the mentorship of Giancarlino and executed by a team that included Pietro Micioni, Paolo Micioni, D.RaD (Stefano Facchielli) and Giancarlino himself. The project was based on a deep combination of african rhythms and soul music that have later influenced much of the music to come and was acclaimed by the press and dj’s all over the world as a genre bender.

The track ‘Behavior’ immediately reached a great success in clubs, as reported by the European House charts of the time. The project continued for two more productions with UMM, to then change label and go on with D: Vision, until 1996, year of publication of the last production, ‘Volume 6’. Today, 24 years later, ‘Volume 7’ was finally born under the partnership of Donato Dozzy, Pietro and Paolo Micioni and released by Danza Tribale.

Special Thanks to Miky Capo.
In Loving memory of D.RaD.

SOULDZ's exclusive remix for RESPEKT's reissue

RESPEKT

RESPEKT(SOULDZ REMIX)

We play host to Electro royalty as we premiere this track by Rapha, avaliable now on New York Haunted. 

Straight from Houston - a true hotbed for modern Electro - comes RAPHA, one half of the Chateau Royal label. These guys have single handedly taken over the torch of powerful and heavy duty electro with a string of awesome releases.

On this NYH debut, RAPHA drops 4 kick-ass electro tracks with an uptempo,  hydraulic feel. Closer to the streets than to nerd messageboards, but surely pleasing both, this has all the classic elements of somebody who knows his stuff. Precise and mathematical in its execution, but with so much actual funk. Vocal sample dropped in the right place, 303 coming in strong, and 808's a plenty, there's no way to beat this sound. Superb electro of the highest order.
