Melodize are back with their 18th release, this time with label boss Beartrax in the driver’s seat.

There once was a creature called Beartrax, Who dwelt in the land of Melodize,
With music opaque and remixes so fine,
That Pagliara himself would often opine:
“How splendid, how jumbly, how strangely divine!”

This Beartrax would dance on his tail in the night,
While playing a tune that was wondrously bright,
Opaque were his melodies, twisted and queer,
That made all the Melodize creatures draw near.

“Oh! Beartrax, dear Beartrax,” they’d cheerfully say,
“Your Pagliara Remixes make our hearts sway!
So splendiferous, rumbly, melodiously strange,
From basslines to treble, the whole tonal range!”

But Beartrax just smiled with his whiskers akimbo,
And twirled seven times in a musical limbo,
For musical nonsense was all that he knew,
In Melodize land where the sky was dark blue.

We’re premiering Massimiliano Pagliara’s synth-heavy, bassy rework of Opaque… Belter.

TR207 - Nico Le Mar

Mr. Computer sees two figureheads of Dutch electronics pay homage to the voice of electro disco, the vocoder. Figi and Luca dell’Orso team up to sing praise of a tool that has crossed genres and styles and give the little metal larynx deserved limelight on their own three track theatre. Rumbling bass is shot through with crisp snaps in the title piece, warbling vocals rising as keys dance in this wonderful collaboration. Production across the 12” is beautifully clean and sharp, allowing the rich analogue sound and robotic lyrics to be fully appreciated. Of course, as happens with the vocoder, those lyrics are just that shade of bittersweet. That brooding quality is used to full effect by Luca dell’Orso in “Fire with Fire”. A bold and daring melody is countered by a tale flecked with sorrow, the brightness and immersion of synths contrasted by the filtered and fractured human voice. Figi flies solo for the finale. “Moonlight (Vocoder Version)” dips words in a thick mechanical syrup, a story of burning love recanted to moonbeam rinses and bending disco bars. A true celebration of man and machine.

https://soundcloud.com/albertomelloni: I wanted to take this opportunity to dig into my hard drive and put together an hour and a half using only productions that have come out of my studio over the past few years. Between original tracks, remixes, and a lot of unreleased material, it turned into a journey through various genres, featuring hypnotic grooves and Italo basslines. I'm very happy to share this on this fantastic series of mixes.
