Celebrating its first anniversary, cool British label Midnight People – curated by The Real Escobar (SXDNS212) – is set to release a killer eight-track VA compilation with all the profits going in aid of CALM charity. 

Italo, EBM, and Indie Dance, delivered by existing and forthcoming members of the label’s roster, including two fresh remixes of MP anthems: Remi Wanless’ "Red Mantis" and PADDY’s "She Doesn’t Know", made with love by Alex Aguayo (FREEDL038) and Emmet Read, respectively. Solid originals by Magari, Remi Wanless (yeah, again), Vitling, Parallel, Vanity Project, and Neowise complete the release.

Premiered here, Emmet Read’s remix of “She Doesn’t Know” is a more cosmic but slower interpretation in comparison to the original theme. The decrease in speed (from 125 to 120) did not reduce the huge amount of Italo Disco influences that PADDY generously administered in his December 2020 release. Fortunately! 

Do yourself a favour and get both versions.

On 13th August 2021, Berlin based label Public Relations will share the final installment of their debut release by Earth Space Object (E.S.O). The package features the artist’s first two singles plus remixes of both tracks by Amarcord and Ian Blevins.

Kicking off proceedings with the dark mechanical dance rhythms of Red Curtain, minimal bass lines and synth melodies provide a dose of melancholic adrenaline centered around E.S.O’s haunted, lo-fi vocal. Contrasted with the dark mood of Red Curtain, second single Magic 777 carries a lighter, more pop-infused touch. Still retaining the hypnotic percussive patterns and heart-skipping melodies the artist is quickly becoming synonymous with, Magic 777 is a colorful deep dive into E.S.O’s introspective side, and it quickly pulls you under.

The two singles provide a conflicting vision of euphoria and melancholia, with warped vocal elements and loose transitions being the common theme running through E.S.O’s new wave vision. Although executed differently, a sense of liberation is present in both tracks, a characteristic indicative of the artists approach to writing in this early stage of his sonic explorations: “Like much of my music at this stage, rather than having a specific message, my first two singles are more of an expressive release. Part self-help, part autobiographical, I’m experimenting with collections of sounds and a stream of consciousness, forged in between lockdowns but continuing to slowly evolve.” – E.S.O

Both singles have been remixed by two artists E.S.O holds in high regard. First up is Amarcord’s cascading melancholia-drenched rework of Red Curtain. With a very diverse background that ranges from Krautrock and Ambient to New Wave, Disco and Techno, Amarcord's productions and DJ sets are characterized by a continuous research and personal development which distinguish him as an artist never scared of breaking boundaries and taking unpredictable choices. Ian Blevins version of Magic 777 comes marching out the stops before introducing a deadly bassline and generous dose of Balearic sparkle into the mix without losing any of the punch. Ian rose to prominence with iconoclastic output on labels including Future Boogie, Not An Animal, MeMeMe, and most notably, E.S.P Institute.

Latvian Alisa Scetinina aka Gaisma teams up with Rework for an exciting new collaborative project, Sceti. They debut on the Exlove label with a fantastic four-track EP of song-led synth disco. Scetinina is a former ballet dancer at the Stuttgarter Ballet, and now an accomplished vocalist. She fronts this powerful new outfit which is produced by Playhouse and Exlove artists Rework aka Daniel Varga & Michael Kuebler. Between them, they cook up a unique vibe that straddles the lines between disco, new wave, indie, electro and synthpop. They do so with vintage synths, minimal drum machine patterns and dreamy soundscape-like vocals from Alisa. 
Our pick here is fantastic 'Feel Alive,' a deep-cut future-retro jam that oozes attitude. The deadpan vocals and stiff bassline make for an irresistible groove.

As Roam Recordings approaches its 100th release, label boss Jason Peters returns with three originals for the 99th. The title track - Broken - is a heavy, mid tempo chugger lead by distorted guitars and analog synths for a dark and moody romp. Picking up the tempo is Time Division with its crossover of indie dance, dark disco, and techno heard through its driving arps and warped soundscapes over a pulsating rhythm. Rounding it out is Trifecta that again hops genres with a bit of italo and 90s rave in the mix. The EP is backed by two excellent remixers - Roam alumni and Indonesian electronic music maestro Jonathan Kusuma and South Korean rising star Shubostar. Up first is Shubostar who brings up the tempo of the title track with a breakbeat while keeping it dark and mysterious. Jonathan Kusuma takes on Trifecta and moves it into heady psychedelic electro territory with his bass mix.
