AOP 006 - Dream Forest EP - Invisible Menders - Remixes by SYO & Eversines

The fighting had broken out several days ago and there had been little respite since. Pleas had come from both sides but nothing seemed to settle the violence, peace wasn't on the horizon. The media had done their worst, pitting each side against the other, scapegoating them for the bad decisions made by those who wield the power. The terrain ahead was unchartered so they braced themselves for the worst.

Benedikt Frey and Menqui's Serious Trouble imprint return with another batch of gritty electronic excursions, this time courtesy of producer NVST. Part of the Statement Crew, Female:Pressure and one half of the team behind the Big Science label, she's got plenty of firm roots within electronic music, which she's now extending to her own productions and the release of her debut solo EP, 'Stop Violence Motivate Violence'. Full of driving rhythms, warbling metallic synths, crunchy breaks and stuttering vocal samples, the release is an accomplished introduction to NVST's sound palate, bolstered by a remix from Benedikt on the flip.

PREMIERE: NVST - Stop Violence Motivate Violence [Serious Trouble]

In 2020 we saw the emergence of one of the freshest record labels to emerge out of NYC in an age. We love this label here at 1BTN HQ and are over the moon to hand over the 1BTN airwaves to Our Starry Universe for a 12hr takeover.

Our Starry Universe Takeover - Sean Johnston - 30.04.2021

Black Light Smoke’s US-based imprint Death Decay Magic invites The Hacker, Cardopusher, Man 2.0 and Adrian Marth to remix tracks from the first three releases on the imprint.

After seven years of brand building as a podcast mix series, Death Decay Magic was launched as a record label in March 2020 by Jordan Lieb aka Black Light Smoke. With a DIY ethos, Death Decay Magic explores the darker, eclectic realms of electronic music, bridging techno with EBM, minimal synth and post-punk.

Death Decay Magic Remixes Vol. 1 is a compilation remix EP, drawing on the first three Death Decay Magic releases; Black Light Smoke ‘Line and Shadows’, Daniel Holt ‘Traveler’, and Man 2.0 & Black Light Smoke ‘Holy Hammer’. Death Decay Magic invites remixes from The Hacker, Cardopusher, Adrian Marth, Man 2.0, and Black Light Smoke on a release that illustrates the labels blueprint perfectly: raw, edgy synth music with ghostly vocals; one foot in techno, the other stepping out into the unknown.

Zone Music boss The Hacker gets things underway with a crunchy remix of Black Light Smoke ‘Lines’ featuring crystalline leads, zapping synths and whirring stabs. Up next, Man 2.0 and Black Light Smoke’s ‘Bodywork’ gets a remix from Classicworks founder Cardopusher as he takes the remix into mystifying territories with revolving modulations bouncing elegantly off the chugging rhythm. Night Noise artist Man 2.0 follows by laying down an industrial-tinged electro remix of ‘Traveler’ with otherworldly atmospheres, gauzy textures and dynamic elements.
Italo Moderni label boss Adrian Marth follows with an interpretation of ‘Bank For God’ as the spiralling EBM sonics flow vigorously and the drilling rhythms get to work underneath. DDM honcho Black Light Smoke then finishes things off with a version of his track, ‘Your Own Hands,’ which fuses rubbery bass grooves, playful melodies and vibrant 909s.

Death Decay Magic Remixes Vol. 1

Black Light Smoke - Lines (The Hacker Remix) [Artaphine Premiere]

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/macaulaymacaulay, https://soundcloud.com/fabiomellamansoltero
Track: Latinon
Label: https://soundcloud.com/durolabel
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital, EP
Release date: 07/5/21
Purchase: https://durolabel.com/album/latinon-fabio-me-llaman-soltero-remix

Mexico’s leading underground Duro Label is back with another incandescent EP, this time from Torreón based producer Macualay, who serves up fine three original deviant house cuts with a remix from Fabio Me Llaman Soltero.
During last year's confinement, using the lowest lo-budget equipment and a microphone of dubious provenance, Macaulay together with his bastard clone DJ Papi created a new EP full of corrugated house, heavy kicks, fleshy basses and highly impure synths.
Opening the pleasure feast is ‘A Gozar’, a six-minute roller with ghostly buried synths, narcotic voices over heavy drums and chubby bass. “Latinon”, the second original track and the first of the two collaborations with DJ Papi, is a HOT, clear example of Mexico's tech-mex sound at it's finest: an anthem for the sexy young souls of the forbidden latin warehouse party scene.
Up next comes “Meneitous”, a lewd lesson in total tension that takes the dancefloor to darker places. On the remix duties, Guatemala’s papi Fabio Me Llaman Soltero delivers a chunky tribal beat running through flailing percussion, delayed vocal sounds, and uncontrolled synths.

Berlin-based Italian DJ, producer, and Slow Motion label boss Franz Scala has made a name for himself with his eclectic sets that bring together spacey disco, Italo, Chi- townhouse, and dark new wave sounds, and on Shortwave Memories you can hear all that and more coming through. Staccato synths, a throbbing acidic bassline, industrial percussion, and a snare that slaps like a rubber-gloved hand all combine to create an urgent, sleazy number, perfect for dimly lit clubs. Shortwave Memories is part of the Next Wave Acid Punx Compilation curated by Curses out via Eskimo.

PREMIERE: Franz Scala - Shortwave Memories [Eskimo Recordings]

Fatal Morgana - Glasnost

As for the second release, the versatile newbeat can be, the versatile this release is. It kicks off with kFactor. A Brazilian EBM-artist, bringing a strong sounding NewBeat track.

On the edge of military rhythms and cheezy acidlines, and an unmistakely ongoing beat. VV303, also an EBM artist, give us more then just pure acid. 303's snorring and humping the dancefloor on fire. Ascended Man is the pseudonim for Olivier Abbeloos, know from T99, Quadraphonia,... joins us on this release with a masterpeace. The track connects modern underground Electro with the strong and dark NewBeat. Another floorfiller.

"Washing the Machine" is the closing track, and a reference to the classic house sound of the Warehouse and other early Traxx, and still fresh and very NewBeat.
As the first release was a huge fresh improvement of todays dancemusic, this release makes the statement clear. FenixFireRecords is here to stay. NewBeat is here to stay.

Urania

Urania (Original)

Tall street lamps cast an orange hue on the road ahead. It stretched far into the distance, almost too far to comprehend. But where did it lead to? He had to find out. Hand on the ignition he inhaled deeply as the key turned. The motor let out a deep grumble before hurtling forward, throwing him back in his seat with force. Spontaneity wasn't in his manner but something told him he had to follow this route. He didn’t know his destination, but that wasn't dissuading. For once, the unknown felt exciting.

Jennifer Touch returns to Riotvan for her second EP on the label with Chemistry. Showcasing her artistic progression and a love for old synthesizers, alongside two original cuts are two reworks from Fabrizio Mammarella and Llewellyn. The EP is set for release on 1st March.

PREMIERE: Hailing from deepest Patagonia, Cosmica look to Italy for their next vinyl offering with Milan based Tagliabue’s ‘Afro Spazio’ EP. Tracing a musical path that comes from folk mixed with contemporary electronics, spacey avant-garde experimental to ethnic rhythms Joseph Tagliabue breaks down boundaries between genres. ‘Notte Stellata’ opens to throbbing bass, moody FX and a teasing arpeggio line. By the time the heavenly vox pads and swirling synths arrive, you are locked in all the way

On its third release, @Deviant-Disco-1 continues to dig up lesser known gems of various origins with a hot batch of four brand new edits. The French rarities label sticks to its peculiar aesthetics and welcomes you once again to an enthralling musical trip — starting with Tchamy Patterson’s groovy & percussive afrobeat only to spiral into Barnes' and Ygalove's hypnotic The Mongol Raid slow-mo trance edit and steering from La Décadanse's tropical and sensual rework of vintage hit Amazoniaque all the way down to Éric Vincent's obscure 80s French erotica.

'The Mongol Raid' is the result of Deviant Disco's new beat connoisseur Ygal Ohayon (@trashdisco) aka Ygalove teaming up with mysterious producer Barnes (from Barnes & Wobble). Ygal bumped into a trancy, unmarked german white label from the 90s ; he pulled the age-old 'oops — wrong speed' 33 RPM trick and waited for Barnes to come along with his magic scissors. With the cheeky addition of an oriental synth going properly bananas, their collaboration gave rise to this entirely rebuilt, borderline industrial tune. A wholesome slow trance monster!Release

BAR03 is BAR Records' very first spring release. With 2 tracks by The Hague's JEANS and 2 more by Italian duo Younger Than Me, this one is dedicated to the ravers. The first track by Jeans is 'Grand Theft Mind Explorer', a race car journey full of various breaks and melodies into the 4th dimension. The second track 'Nohzdyve' sounds like a spring tune on a hardcore clubnight. The peaktime beat slowly fades into a sweet and nicely confusing end. Younger Than Me's 'BaRave' has some classic UK rave elements; the signature drums are accompanied by a happy end of the day melody. This track asks for a perfect sunset. 'Dirty Sex' is the different one, a vocal track for darkrooms. Contains the beautiful voice of Justine.

Rose Ringed's third release. With three completely different tracks, Rose Ringed continues to explore different types of leftfield house and techno. The first track "Take Me Away" is a true peak time energy booster. Led by a straight four to the flour techno beat, a simple yet catchy hook and a vocal sample of Oceanic's "Insanity". The second track ("Energy") is a breakbeat emotive string-filled track which just makes you close your eyes and dance to the rhythm. The third and final track named "Sorry" is a somewhat more relaxed track with a very deep and long break, which makes the track convert to a euphoric piano house beat.

Rose’s seventh EP on the label contains straight up four to the flout techno tracks. The main synth line in “Give me the strength” will give you a feeling of euphoria while the stabs in “Green diamonds in the sky” makes you wanna dance your ass of. It never ends does actually what the title suggests, it feels like it never ends, the groovy baseline and constantly evolving background noises make is the perfect closing track.

Canada’s ALI X (formally Azari & iii) and Mexico’s XIMENA are releasing their self-titled, debut album project. Set for release this July via their own label ‘CONTROLLA’, tracks from the album are receiving remixes from a selection of well-respected artists, as is the case here with Timothy Clerkin's remix of "No Me Gustas."

After many failed attempts at writing the press release for such an ambiguous project, it's the artists themselves that introduce the album… 

“ALI X (ex Azari & III) and XIMENA (Controlla.Mx) are a powerhouse duo whose risky Spanglish techno-rap out of Mexico City cuts raw, rugged barrio street juice with laser sharp cultural rhetoric, radiated by a dominant visual element unique to their assay. Their Spring 2020, self-titled debut album is a bricolage of radical freak poetics and hyper-focused observations, entangled in a dusky jungle of dank, chunky production and abstracted aural art pieces. With deep-referencing and inspiration from Luis Miguel to Plastikman, Jean-Paul Sartre to John Paul Jones, these two rap-junkie technoid punks poke fun at the contemporary cultural milieu with a deadpan seriousness you can never quite read for sure...

Broadcasting from their home label CONTROLLA (‘con-troy-ya’, Mexico City slang for ‘with Troyʼ, possibly a reference to Trojan Horse strategy), their album is served with a forward-thinking range of remixes, a stacked-up edgy live show... And viciously momentous DJ sets.

Universally immediate. Fluency in Spanish not required.” – ALI X x XIMENA

Apollon Telefax is Pavel Grachev, a new up and coming artist from Russia. Little english does he speak but enough that we managed to arrange everything for his debut EP on Calypso. 
It's better if you listen to the complete EP by yourself instead of us telling you what every track sounds like. However, we can tell you that his EP is full of Electro & Psychedelia in a very Russian way.

Takeshi Kouzuki returns to the ALLEY VERSION label for sharing with the
brothers duo FLML, the split mini-LP “Tracks From The Alley”.

From his early cult releases for Mathematics Recordings, Takeshi Kouzuki, as in these new tracks, keeps crossing the old schoolhouse with his recognizable classy signature. 

The warm but hitting acid of “福”, opens the Takeshi Kouzuki’s side, while in the second track “1986” deep-and-dark synthetic magic atmospheres are driven by the beating of the twins TR707 and TR727 drum machines. “Yellowacid” burns in its acid-jackin’ madness. 

Opening FLML’s side “Hot Spread” is obscure jackin’ techno mechanical psychedelia, the following “Jack That Strings” is a pure raw windy city deep‘n’acid track. In the closing “Does Mean It’s You” a freaky FM synth melody is driven by the pulsing of liquid and creepy analog synths and drums, while an 8-bit sampled Andy Warhol’s speaking fragment marks the space until dies in delay feedback.

“Tracks From The Alley” is released exclusively on limited 12” vinyl.
ALLEY VERSION is an electronic music label run by the duo FLML,
based in Bologna - Italy
