'Chemistry', a song whose spacey synth arpeggios wrap themselves around a bass line that pulses like the lifeline of a planet. It’s a third eye opener of a track, one that kicks down the barn doors of perception only to find a secret nightclub filled with neon smiles. Who knew the merging of synth-pop odes, chemical love and intoxicating attraction, pumped into the veins of country disco, could feel this good...

Clubland is filled with duos, and when it comes to Lord Fascinator & Kate Stein, they met on a tropical island after one had commissioned the other to create several giant monsters for a music video. Fast forward through ten years of costumes, chemicals, religious art projects and "Mad Max yoga retreats", they have finally cemented their relationship in the studio with their Primary EP, four tracks of psychedelic synth-pop, cowboy disco and cosmically inclined iridescent electronica.

PREMIERE: Kate Stein & Lord Fascinator - Chemistry [Eskimo Recordings]

Where does a footstep become transgression? When does a tone abandon its harmony and drift into noise?

At what precise instant does a sonic ripple shift from mere dissonance to true disturbance?

Práctica de Límites is a compelling meditation on boundaries—both territorial and tonal.

It draws a provocative parallel between the arbitrariness of geopolitical borders and the fragile thresholds within sound itself.

Through this exploration, it asks not just who belongs where, but what belongs when, sonically speaking.

Señora - Antiarmónica (MMB Remix) [Openthenext]

Vintage synth fetishist Italo Brutalo brings you his superb sophomore album Second Horizon, released 29th May on his and his girlfriend very own Bungalo Disco label. The German producer possesses an incredible armoury of retro analogue synths, and he certainly knows how to use them. And push them to their limits. Congratulations, listener. You are about to step into an alternate electronic universe.

Kicking off with City Sight, every synth is a joy. Warm tones, clear, crisp symbols and snares. A beautiful melody intertwined with acid tweaks and dreamy vocoder vocals, sounding almost more keys than voice. And that 80s drum machine line. There are five different decades where this modern classic would feel right at home.

You want it darker? Here comes Memory Sync, bursting through your loading screen like an end of level baddy. Press ‘play’ and you will know exactly what I mean. The hi hat and kick drum pattern on Digital Freedom is to die for, the acid bass and Italo disco melody giving your day an instant serotonin boost.

Surveillance State kicks the tempo up more than a notch, this eerie 3-D soundscape literally makes you feel as though you are being watched by a Machiavellian force. You can literally feel the paranoia oozing from your speakers. Technology is like a souped-up Kraftwerk 33 played on 45. Close your eyes and imagine stop-frame footage of robots in a car factory. Just brilliant. Heiss Oder Kalt (Hot Or Cold) is a perfect title for this lush mix of warm and cool synths, with a vocal sample reminiscent of a mad scientist.

Chasing Shadows, The first single to be released from Second Horizon, is just damn well exciting. It’s like you’re driving K.I.T.T. on turbo boost, in pursuit of the Midnight Express. Strap yourself in as Italo Brutalo hits the TB-303 button on the console for an acid fuel injection. Just when you thought it couldn’t get better, the joyous robotic vocal kicks in. I dare you to try and stay still whilst Chasing Shadows plays. It’s impossible.

Free To Move takes the tempo down a notch, robotic melodies dancing with each other in beautiful synchronicity, giving life to a beautiful android, leading perfectly into Black Gold, a soundscape rich enough to deserve to grace a Hollywood masterpiece.

Human Code is a perfect companion piece to City Sight. Drop this one in a club and see the reaction. Pure bliss. Then comes dark and sleazy low tempo I am a creator pulls you into the thought process of Italo Brutalo, before Tonight finishes this perfect long player off to a joyous, satisfying conclusion.

Musical visionaries often find it difficult to write that difficult second album. With Second Horizon, Italo Brutalo has brought you an original masterpiece. Enjoy.

After more than a year since the release of Oddness Vol. IV, we're thrilled to return with a new chapter of sonic exploration: Oddness Vol. V. This latest volume continues our mission to uncover and share rare, unconventional sounds and rarities.

The compilation features a diverse and international lineup of innovative producers: Ludviq & Radial Gaze, YemeroFoni, Specter, Petr Stancl, and Chicharron. Each artist contributes a distinct perspective, creating a rich and unpredictable journey through deep, hypnotic, and genre-bending tracks.

Ludviq & Radial Gaze – “Alpha Acid”A powerful collaboration between Barcelona-based Ludviq and Berlin-based Radial Gaze, Alpha Acid delivers a mesmerizing mix of hypnotic textures, chunky basslines, mind-bending percussion, and immersive deep vocals. A true dancefloor burner with a psychedelic edge.

Dan ChiCharron – “Zapette”
Dan ChiCharron takes us into a dreamlike twilight world where ephemeral characters appear
and disappear, disrupting the trance state just long enough to rekindle it with renewed energy. With a mechanical bassline and unpredictable breaks, Zapette paints a surreal, shifting sonic landscape—strange, entrancing, and irresistibly danceable.

YemeroFoni – “Padell”
YemeroFoni presents Padell a raw, hypnotic track that fuses distorted rock textures with the dark, jungle-inflected energy of indie dance. Gritty guitars, propulsive rhythms, and an atmospheric tension define a sound that resonates perfectly with the shadowy and rebellious identity of the label.

Specter – “Dr. Melendrez”
Dr. Melendrez is a dive into dark, mysterious territory. Specter crafts a foreboding atmosphere using organic tribal rhythms, acid sequences, and electric pulses. The result is an eerie sonic journey—a descent into the unknown, where menace and magnetism coexist.

Petr Stancl – “Special Smoke”
Built on a solid bass foundation, Special Smoke by Petr Stancl delivers a smoky, gritty mood with sampled vocals and dirty sound textures. Experimental synths and unique sound design create a track that invites repeat listens, revealing new layers with every play.

Oddness Vol. V is a statement of intent—an invitation to explore the fringes of contemporary electronic music. Expect the unexpected.

PREMIER: Ludviq & Radial Gaze - Alpha Acid [Bonkers Music]

Considered one of the most talented artists of his generation, Fausto (SXDNS064) has long been recognized for his unapologetically bold approach to electronic music, crafting pieces that hit with visceral intensity and raw, instinctual energy. His latest EP, “K-Man,” released via Nativo (the label he co-founded), marks a subtle but compelling evolution in his sound. While staying true to his signature physicality, the producer ventures deeper into experimental territories, blending elements of IDM and psychedelia into his club-ready framework. The three original cuts balance intricate sound design with rhythmic urgency, proving that even while exploring new textures, Fausto never loses his grip on the dance floor’s pulse.

Premiered here, Roliva’s rework of the title track takes Fausto’s original and reshapes it into a blistering, acid-laden weapon. Roliva (SXDNS379) strips down the elements and reassembles them with a fiercer, more primal edge, amplifying the theme’s intensity while preserving its muscular core. Jagged synth lines slice through pounding percussion, creating a relentless groove built for dark, sweat-drenched rooms. Yet, beneath the aggression, there’s a calculated precision – a reminder that even at its most untamed, this is music with purpose. Roliva’s remix doesn’t just reinterpret Fausto’s vision; it elevates it, making for a thrilling addition to an already powerful release.

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

Naughty

A highlight of their recent debut EP for Eskimo Recordings, Kate Stein & Lord Fascinator's Asteroid saw the psychotropic duo take us on a joyful joyride through the cosmos, its melodic synth-pop and trance inducing disco finding a hitherto unguessed at sweet spot somewhere between Spiritualized and Lipps Inc. Too much fun to keep to themselves our LA based duo have invited the likes of Aeroplane, Eli Escobar and BĘÃTFÓØT to join them on the trip and add their own touch to the track before it burns up on re-entry.First up is high flying Belgian producer and DJ Aeroplane, who returns to Eskimo 15 years after the label released his acclaimed debut LP. Responsible for some of the most iconic remixes around, you know you're in for a good time with Vito at the controls and he once again delivers a masterclass in pairing indie vocals and pop melodies with chrome plated disco beats and sky high synths. The result, a joyous celebration of love, chemicals and chemical induced love, sure to echo out over festival fields this summer.It's always a good sign when you see Eli Escobar's name on a track's credits and the NY producer has been delivering killer remixes for the likes of Lana Del Rey, M.I.A. and Honey Dijon for well over two decades now. Stripping Asteroid back to just the vocals and slowly but surely building it back up from there, Escobar delivers a killer synth-heavy house track for when you want to reset the vibe in the club and take things to the next level. It's set to a slow burning fuse but when it all kicks in this Asteroid explodes like a firework.Finally, taking time out from drumming duties with Red Axes Udi Naor slips into his BĘÃTFÓØT alias to deliver a frenetic, peak time remix of Asteroid. Throwing everything from pummelling martial drums, rave stabs, urgent synths and pitched up vocals into the mix, Naor's remix burns through the sky like a particularly wildly piloted UFO, a sci-fi synth stunner with all strobes set to stun.
