@bezier returns to @darkentriesrecords with his new EP "Valencia",  a six track rumination on memory, geography, and transmutation. On "Valencia¨, Bézier invokes twinned places. The Valencia Street of San Francisco is channeled, which was the center of the city’s vibrant new wave scene in the 1980s. But also echoed is Valencia, Spain, and La Ruta del Bakalao aka La Ruta Destroy, the Spanish clubbing scene throughout the 80s and 90s famed for its aggressive and synthetic sounds. 
"Valencia" is a darker record for Yang, exploring themes of submission and catharsis with nods to SF’s gay leather bars of the 70s and 80s.  Take a ride with the the anthemic “Reservoir”, which features their partner Len.Leo on vocals.

Scotland's Acid temptress lands a further belter of an EP; Disco Baws and Love. 

Like a ravenous panther, this EP sets its sights on the dance floor's jugular. Miss Represented flexes to new heights in her production with
trance-soaked sequencers and hypnotic filth. Trippy vocals take the listener in and out of last year's bumper mushroom voyages with pulse-driven bass that hits deep in the chest and rolls the eyes right back.

 'Party Animal' sets the tone for the voyage, like its namesake it unapologetically barges through the crowd, bolstered by a bouncing disco beat that kicks in at 1:10.
- Jazzy chords stab soulfully as the backbone of 'Another Time', offset by Miss Represented's unmistakable vocals.
- 'Laviathin' takes a darker turn - minimalist techno with anthemic top-line synth chords, hypnotic percussion, and a subby dark bass.
- 'Trippin At The Disco' dips into post-punk and new wave, with a trippy nonchalant vocal held brilliantly by an electric pulsing bass.

B1980 is respected producer and musician Bert Libeert and is best known as the drummer of electro-rock band GOOSE. This project sees him focus on his love of EBM and techno with influences taken from new beat and Belgian legends like Front242. His aim is to bring the spontaneity of live music back to clubs, armed with just two synths and two drum machines. Says the artist, "music is not all about technique or knowledge, it’s about expressing your personality and style." He sure backs that up here.
Our choice here falls on 'Modeling Minds'which  slows things down to a predatory and heavyweight crawl, with spangled synth patterns and supersized hi hats all conveying an epic sense of battle to come.

Quiet Confidence

PREMIERE | B1980 - Modeling Minds [Zone] 2022

Slovenian DJ/producer Marjan Vitorĳoski's productions first showed up on our collective radar back in 2019 leading to an appearance on the 1st volume of Dancefloor Detonators on Invisible Inc swiftly followed by an appearance on Curses' Ombra International imprint. Three years on and Vitorĳoski's sound is even more focussed and refined. His productions more advanced, his roots deeper. Expressing a deep passion for ancient Macedonian culture and art, his music often sounds like a bridge between his European homeland and the Orient. With an array of hardware and effects processors at his disposal that most producers would be highly envious of, his music also frequently benefits from the inclusion of organic instruments (a theme those familiar with Invisible Inc will be aware of) most notably the Persian daf (a frame drum similar to the Celtic bodhran) which punctuates each song with its hypnotic beat. Interspersed with monastic chants that seem to channel the ancestors perfectly, the swirling arpeggiated synths, pulsing bass lines and scything rhythms result in a sonic palette as rooted in history as it is fresh. It's also highly hallucinogenic. Close your eyes and you can imagine yourself transported to an ancient Macedonian opium den. The three original tracks are complemented by an epic remix from Optimo Music stalwart and Phase Group founder Mr TC who takes the acid and explores the outer limits even further. The EP's artwork (by Gordon Mackinnon) is based on a pattern from traditional Macedonian costume - originating from a period when opium dens were still very much in existence.

PREMIERE⚡️Vitorijoski - Banica (MR TC Remix) [Invisible Inc.]

Like the previous chapter, these are more than plain re edits. The original tracks were decontextualised and repurposed to give them a new meaning and a new breath of life.


1. Dub Yourself to my Help is built from small slices that were chopped from a classic 80's proto-house tune. These slices are big enough to retain the essence of the original, but small enough to give them a new identity. On top of that, Davin Varda added a new bass line, a bunch of spacey synth textures and percussive elements, to create a whole new beast.

2. Rhythm is a Constant beat was concieved when Troels Yuri accidentally played a random 12" at the wrong speed. Loops were quickly sliced, synths and bass guitars added, drum machines programmed, and this forgotten dutch gem was given a new lease of life, re-tooled for a new generation of DJs.

3. Davin Varda always dreamt of doing a re-edit using the separate tracks of an original track. Backflash Re-Imagined is his first attempt at doing just that, taking only the elements he likes from this well known UK-Disco monster.
However, if you are looking for a sinister twist, wait 4 and a half minutes and see what happens if you try to leave the club in the middle of a party and experience a gruesome flashback.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 16 years since Throne of Blood Recordings began. Originally conceived as a platform to release vinyl singles from NYC legends The Rapture, the label has grown and evolved into a stalwart of leftfield electronic music and a launchpad for some massively influential artists including Daniel Avery and Bicep.
This new yorker label never needed an excuse to celebrate, but hitting this milestone has made us contemplate our place in the world, reflecting on the relationships that have made Throne of Blood such an integral part of our lives and our legacy as an incubator for tomorrow’s most remarkable artists. So we’ve put together a series of anniversary EPs that bring our past and future together on the dance floor.
The first of four releases, Anniversary EP #1 features longtime friend and label collaborator Chloé Thévenin of Parisian powerhouse Lumiere Noire Records, label manager Max Pask in collaboration with Tigersushi mainman Joakim (for the first time since their killer edit of Evan’s Pyramid for Cultures Of Soul), NYC techno mainstay and Bunker affiliate Justin Cudmore, and Liona, a wildly talented producer from Ulaanbaatar.
Four musical points of view with one goal in mind: making people dance. And there’s loads more to come across four EPs dropping this Fall.

Fabio Me Llaman Soltero kicks off 2023 with a release that condenses his sound and gives way to what will be his new stage name "Riveiby" with a more aggressive and raw sound (always with champagne and suntan lotion on the side), native Colombian vocals, lowered percussion, use of Guatemalan and Mexican indigenous instruments, lots of Moog and grey humour. Includes 4 tracks and two remixes by masters Balam from Argentina and Ukrainian Id Ua. An Ep with a special dedication to his trip to Mexico and Colombia in the recently finished 2022.

PREMIERE - After Altamont - Aspra Xwmata (Steve Pepe Remix) (Inside Out)

Mr BC, aka Bob Salmond, returns to Roam with three new originals to form the Chicken Skin Suit EP. The Scottish artist opens up the EP with the title track that hints at early 80s dance with its off kilter arp bass under ethereal strings punctuated by spatters of electro toms. Lithuanian producer, Roam alumni, and prolific rising star Zakmina accentuates this early 80s vibe with his dark and deftly crafted remix. Adding diversity to the sound of the EP, Mr BC is joined by Lloyd Longchamp to create a smooth summer vibe with warm psychedelic overtones in the blissful track Evil Presidents. Within the same laid-back vibe Mr BC rounds out the EP with sweet electronic melodies in his solo work Hurts (But It's Worth It).
