One of the projects of the Mexican producer Luis Fernando Hernández, head of the Bonkers label, entitled LFB, comes to an end. From the distant EP "Elements" on Borderless Project three years ago, to Illegal Alien's Myths and Legends and multiple original mixes and remixes on Bonkers, LFB is ready to lower the curtain. And as each cycle has its closure, which brings new possibilities, the end of LFB comes with a celebration: one of its most representative tracks, Synesthesia, is wrapped in a beautiful Remix Package in which Mexican talents are in charge of interpreting the  original track "Synesthesia".

We present Elliot Salazar Herrera, originally from the city of León, Guanajuato, Mexico, better known as NoctLux, dj and producer focused on genres such as Indie Dance, EBM and Techno, organizer at Hedonist Collective and resident of TALLER headquarters, presents its mix Stoned Jam!!

PRE ORDER

QX PREMIERE: LFB - Synesthesia (Noctlux Remix) [Bonkers]

Optimo Music Archiv is a new offshoot label by JD Twitch exploring and revisiting favourite and often forgotten releases from the past.

First up - Force Dimension.

Released in full picture sleeve on marbled vinyl. Sleeve design by Andrew Beltran.

This was Belgium. 1989. First wave EBM duo, but also so much more.
This first release takes 5 Force Dimension favourites and reconfigures them as an extended EP / mini album.

The songs are untouched but have been power remastered for 21st Century ears.

“Tension” comes in two versions, one from each version of their debut album. Oddly they put out an original version (Blue), they decided they didn’t like it and re-recorded it. Both versions of Tension rule.
200 FA is an end of the night anthem. A perfect piece of E Music that crossed over into the early 90s Rave era and still much sought after to this day.

Aqua 2000 and All Systems Out are two Belgian bombs that still slay dancefloors today.

Vinyl and digital released July 9th 2021. Distro by Kompakt

Deluxe version of “Sans Dormir” album gathers, in addition to the LP itself, a bunch of 13 rare tracks from Bot’Ox. 13 tracks produced between 2005, when Cosmo Vitelli and Julien Briffaz officially started their collabroation as a duo, and 2013. Some of them were previously only released as vinyls and could not be found anymore (Lada Rock, Grand Central...), others were only available on digital platforms (Arrogant American Pig featuring the great Kim Fowley, Perfect Pair featuring Foremost Poets, Theme from Mineurs 27...), some others are totally new (Cool Long While featuring Judy Nylon, I Just Can’t Help Myself…). 

Unlike the LP that was conceived as such in a short period of time, no cohesion is to be found in this additional material except from the very own musical Bot’Ox identity. Mixing the codes of club music, krautrock, movie scores, pop, Bot’Ox speak the language of restless nights, whether you spend them on deserted dancefloors, endless roads or in lonely bedrooms. 
----
La version “deluxe” de “Sans Dormir” rassemble, en plus de l’album lui-même, une compilation de treize morceaux rares de Bot’Ox. Treize morceaux produits entre 2005, l’année où Cosmo Vitelli et Julien Briffaz ont officiellement débuté leur collaboration en tant que duo, et 2013. Certains d’entre eux n’étaient présents que sur vinyles, disques aujourd’hui épuisés (Lada Rock, Grand Central…) ; d’autres n’étaient disponibles qu’en digital (Arrogant American Pig avec le grand Kim Fowley, Perfect Pair avec Foremost Poets, Theme from Mineurs 27 de la BO du film du même nom…)  ; d’autres encore sont totalement inédits (Cool Long While featuring Judy Nylon, I Just Can’t Help Myself…).

Contrairement à l’album qui a été conçu en tant que tel sur une courte période, ce supplément n’a pas de cohérence d’ensemble, si ce n’est l’identité musicale très particulière de Bot’Ox. Mélangeant les codes de la club music, des bandes originales de cinéma, de la pop, du krautrock, Bot’Ox parlent le langage des nuits sans repos, qu’on les passe sur des dancefloors dépeuplés, sur les routes qui ne finissent pas ou dans les chambres solitaires.

And old one, but still a fave of mine.  I think I based it on a Chris and Cosey track whilst watching Conan - hence the sample...

Unknown Archetype - Tripp

Handstamped 12" in a white disco sleeve.
To be released February 6th 2017.

Pinkman stoke the furnaces of despair, fuelling them with Black Merlin. Conveyor belts grunt out resentment, cold chords curl, synthlines sneer and pallid percussion punctuates. Noise echoes above, hammered clanks exploding into shards. Below the work continues, sweat smeared stains and hissing airless gasps. In the end, all is swallowed; gulped into the gaping assembly line.

Dark Entries is honored to release a 4-track EP by Red Axes, the prolific production duo of Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi from Tel Aviv. The pair were raised on a diet of post-punk, new-wave, and Italo-disco at fogged out warehouse and basement parties. Their own productions and remixes have appeared on labels such as I’m a Cliché, Correspondant, and Hivern Discs. ‘Nyx Tape’ features two new compositions backed with two edits from our catalog. First up is the slick electro anthem “5 Min” another collaboration with French-Canadian born singer Chloé Raunet aka C.A.R. Followed by “Nyx Tape” featuring charismatic singer-lyricist Gina Kikoine aka Gina X, who reached out after hearing their remix of her classic single “No GDM” that was a huge anthem on the Tel Aviv 80s underground scene. The track is an ecstatic dance to the rhythm in the darkness with Gina’s ice cold Teutonic spoken word taking creative inspiration from the Jewish Mourners’ Prayer – The Kaddish. On the B-side “Destination Moon” by Solid Space from 1982 has been given a dancefloor makeover with moody synths and a haunting guitar line reminiscent of an Adrian Sherwood dub. Closing this EP is a hypnotic edit of “La Machine á Rêver” by French bedroom synth freaks X-Ray Pop from 1984 slowed down to a 4/4 groove that takes the original to outer space and back. All songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The EP is housed in a custom made jacket that features an original collage by Eloise Leigh representing Nyx, the Greek goddess of the night. Each copy included a postcard with notes and lyrics.

Album released June 19th over at https://maiovvi.bandcamp.com/

...Is Missing is the new album from mysterious synthpop wunderkind Jason Priest who may or may not even be a real person but he sure does make a lot of records if he doesn't exist. I don't know. Maybe you're asking the wrong questions.

Eight new songs anyways. Enjoy.

Black Merlin - GENESIS PREACHER (bandcamp release)

Welcome to Liquid Soap's Trauma Resort. A Digital New Age Hellscape sculpted from the burning refuse of our time. Here, themes of paradise, “eastern religion”, and mindfulness collide with psychological manipulation and financial coercion on his mesmerizing second EP.

Liquid Soap is the production moniker of NYC rave entrepreneur John Barclay. Most well-known for his back-of-house contributions to NYC dance and DIY culture, co-founding Bushwick techno clubhouse Bossa Nova Civic Club, outlaw DIY venues 285 Kent and Trip House, White Label Yerba Mate Soda and the repeal of NYC’s racist Cabaret (No Dancing) Law, Barclay was also a member of DIY rave supergroup DUST, a since-retired collaboration with audio engineer Michael Sherburn of Earth Boys and visual/noise artist Greem Jellyfish. His first solo release, 2019’s ethereal Naja Warfare EP, imagined a war-torn ancient civilization. Trauma Resort is equally immersive, plunging the listener this time into the hypnosis and hysteria of the New Age Cult.

Like many of the most prolific cult-oriented catastrophes, Trauma Resort juxtaposes the white sand and lush rainforest of paradise against the relentless agony and psychological warfare of predatory western society. On the titular track, anxious cymbals and a thumping bass line brilliantly offset New Age keyboards and a barely-there vocal sample. “Agony Infinity” is a looping acidic groove that might be unsettling if it weren’t so danceable, while the aptly-titled “Serpent Sex” employs shimmering shakers and snakelike whispers to get its point across. With the help of digital flutes, dulcimers, backwards cymbals, and side-chained ocean swells, Barclay asks us to look beyond the polished veneer to a more troubling core. Housed in a captivating aural landscape, Trauma Resort is a chicken-egg quandary about the nature of escapism.
