Berlin-based record label Odd Pleasures is finally born. Curated by acclaimed Chilean duo Random Atlas (SXDNS155/FREEDL024), the new South American/European imprint will be devoted to exploring the darker side of disco and focus on bringing a fresh blend of Electronic and Rock, Post Punk, New Wave, and everything in between.

For its debut release, ODD Pleasures has prepared a Worldwide Various Artists Compilation including tracks by well-known producers from Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Turkey: Alvee, Persona RS, Marzian (SXDNS128), Alex Aguayo, Ducati Flux, Javier Martinez (SXDNS104), Fat&Bald, Ludviq, Aural Trace, and the label honchos themselves make up the dream team. 

Every artist presents a delicate piece of their musical exploration that gives life to an obscure, mysterious, and futuristic sonic universe. Powerful beats, underpinned by catchy and dark bass lines, New Wave synthetic textures, and atmospheres with hints of Post Punk and Krautrock elements. ODD Pleasures’s first compilation proposes a storytelling journey that crosses the line between the dancefloor and casual listening, a soundtrack to anyone who seeks an immersive driving force.

The track we were solicited to premiere/review was cooked with love in Santiago, Chile, by talented producer Roman Sebastian aka Persona RS, also a member of MKRNI, Roman & Castro, and Follakzoid. His “Space Pod”, definitely one of the highlights of the release, is a groovy and bouncing peak time cut with a powerful bassline and a stunning synth layer, a powerful contribution to a mighty compilation. Welcome, Odd Pleasures! We wish you a successful journey!   

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://oddpleasuresmusic.bandcamp.com/

Release date: 12/4/21
Purchase: https://playgroundrecordsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/pahoehoe-inc-pigmali-o-fabrizio-mammarella-remixes

The rising Italian A-Tweed debuts in Playground Records with a delightful Ep powered by mother nature. From volcanic lava to poisonous frogs in the jungle, he gives us a very complete package of 4 original mixes to which are added 2 high quality remixes from the Frente Bolivarista's head-honcho Pigmalião and the almighty Fabrizio Mammarella.
Our pick fall on 'OTO0OTO aka Fake Robot Cumbia'. The tropical flavor can be smelled in the air. Some whistles, claps and güiros accompany the main synth flow. The temperature rises. Weird sounds invade our mind. Now we are all lost in the Fandango.

Spazio Palazzo are Joseph Tagliabue and Jacopo Beolchi. Two music diggers land on Esthetique Records from Milan with a melodious weapon of massive destruction that will bang the dance floor called  Altra Faccia that means The Other Face, an informal way to define the B side of a record.
Heavy beat, mysterious synths with a hint of arp and solid break that makes you feel travelling into space at the speed of light.
As an excellent bonus on the release there are also two remixes from the French maestro Dawad Vong who added the dancefloor drama to the original and which you can listen here in the exclusive premiere and the Mexican Cabizbajo. Play

Doom Rec. has relatively flown under the radar this year after releases from the likes of Man 2.0 and Drvg Cvltvre in 2017. The wait is over though, as the Parisian outfit is back with a killer 4-track EP from Estuardo Flores aka Lusca. Señor Flores is half of the Mexican band Los Fugazzi. Known for its hazy acid disco sound, the duo has been outstanding recently, releasing on Nein and Playground among many others.
 
The release features two original tracks, which are sure to grace sweaty dancefloors all over the place. Dripping with raw energy, Straight Home is a true weapon and has to be handled with caution. EP is completed by two remixes from Mijo and Id!r, names we have grown to trust and admire.

Exclusive Jac The Disco 'Cosmic Matter (Prins Thomas Remix)'

Londoner Jay Rossi, better known under his Jac The Disco moniker, delivers the first EP of his newly and co-founded label Spin On This'. 'Cosmic Matters', the title of the label's debut EP, comes with two original tracks, 'Cosmic Matters' and 'Bali Dance', as well as two remixes from two of the scene's most iconic producers, namely I:Cube and Prins Thomas. While French legend I:Cube took on remix duties for 'Bali Dance', Prins Thomas reworks the EP's title track. The Norwegian producer turns the orginal take into an eight minute lasting journey of blissful and mental sound-experiences paired with a lush bass line that's basically rolling out the red carpet for the varying synths and percussions to walk the path and transport the listener to a mental state of mind that hits closest to the imagination of reaching fulfillment in sound spheres and niches.

Jac The Disco's EP 'Cosmic Matter' was released on Spin On This on December 2nd, 2019.

 CÓMEME is proud to present the new solo EP from the mystery girl from Rosario, Argentina Ana Helder. She already released a completely outlandish EP on Cómeme (008). With this new EP Helder takes much like a brave trip, this seems a departure from all established comfort zones of House, a pretty disturbing new scale of (yes indeed) dancefloor deepness. Beating PC is again a lunatic Comemian experience.
