Sonically cradling you with deep and honest 80's emotions, swedish producer Johan Bengtsson's alter ego, Mitch Murder creates addictive retro synth masterpieces. As the story goes Mitch is an overworked Wall Street I.T. from the 80's who dreams at night other realities for himself. These are the soundtrack to his dreams. The first offering, "The Touch" is the retro-futuristic anthem of a peaceful world that's just uprisen from it's dark chaotic post apocalyptical past. Straddling the line of french touch, 80's soundtrack and robot disco band music it seamlessly carves out it's own sound space. Overwhelmingly emotional and uplifting it has one of the most triumphant guitar synth solos you'll ever hear.

If by the first note of "Race Day," a vision of futuristic indy cars whizzing past a waving checkered flag doesn't enter your brain there's something wrong with you.  This is definitely the music of an animated raceway, quite possibly a contender to be the title screen music to a Wave Race 64 sequel. Either way this track is wavy on a whole other level.

If that's not enough for you, we have assembled two astounding remixes for your pleasure. French Touch icon, LIFELIKE blesses us with a slow burning seven minute minimal masterpiece that only he could pull off. LIFELIKE's remix is then followed up by Mitch's good friend Nite Sprite, who initiates an Electro Funk meets Sugar Hill in Space groove track. This is the type of song that space station window washers turn way up on their walkmans while on the job.

With already 2 album's and 6 EP's behind him, Mitch Murder is a veteran when it comes to creating surreal retro audio canvas' and we can't wait to hear more.

Ulla Records is back with another VA : « Shifted Frequencies ». For our two years anniversary we wanted to treat you with something special, our first physical release, on vinyl !

Now you know our mojo : to explore that 80s inspired, wonky disco sound, in all its shapes and forms ! From Italo to acid, EBM or New Wave, we wanted to showcase some of the multiple facets of the label, our interpretation of these « Shifted Frequencies ». Between France, Italy, UK & Germany, we gathered a fine selection of talented artists, a mix of familiar faces and new encounters.

We’re thrilled to welcome Younger Than Me and REES for the first time on the label, and equally so to have Alberto Melloni back with us, alongside label founders Austher and Naranja. All together, they captured some fragments of our shifted frequencies.

This one's for you dancers !

Younger Than Me - Don't Fly With The Elephants [ULLA008]

Kendal - Basorexia (Italo Trance Mix)

Mackan's Black Martian comes from the realms of EBM. A bit rough on the edges but still very melodic. A new generation calls it Italo Body Music. An older generation would simply label it Trance.

We prefer not to use labels, but we want you to get an idea of what you’re going to get when you enter the musical universe of Mundo D.

Alen Skanner provides us with an additional interpretation of our Black Martian. Familiar but yet still very different. He may still come from the realms of EBM but as we travel further the story unfolds somewhat differently. It appears that parallel universes do exist.

Miguel de Bois however does not appear to be from a parallel universe but instead he appears to be from the future. Just as time can be sped up or slowed down, our remixer seems to be travelling at light speed. High-octane Hi-NRG!

Info & Buy

Neu-Romancer - Burning Eyes [541416667037 | Premiere]

The album 'Fire in the Sky' on @khoinix Records brings the horror soundtrack-inspired elements from @ubreblanca previous work together with the group's more recent focus on the dancefloor, pushing at the edges of the dark disco sound the band has become known for.

The tracks draw inspiration from techno on 'Heatseeker', EBM on 'Prison Acid' and 90s trance on 'Purity Spiral' to the ubiquitous John Carpenter influence on the title track and 'Stress Positions', a dark and somehow danceable track in 6/4 time, making heavy use of the Roland GR-500 synth guitar and incorporating bass guitar for the first time on an Ubre Blanca release.

The Future of Truth

Flesh Style Feat Andi (Austher Remix) [Surface Reality]

Berlin based DJ and producer Michael Lane lands on Polari imprint with an energetic debut three-track EP entitled Leeloo.

Michael on the production process; "I love trying to find the sweet spot between fun and emotional, where you start clicking your fan then get swept up into something deeper. For this EP I relied on old favourites like cowbells, congas and squelchy bass as a foundation, then brought in sounds like Vangelis' CS-80, Prophet brass, and Mellotron choir to elevate things. I hope they hit that sweet spot and can be a tool to help transition a dancefloor from one feeling to another. I've been a big fan of Cormac for a long while, so it's an honour and an utter delight to be releasing these on Polari."


Cormac continues on Lane‘s release; I met Michael some time ago at the airport. He’s been sending me edits and tracks since then, many of which have ended up in my sets.

I think this ep is a great intro of Michaels musical style and knowledge. I’m touched that his debut EP is with Polari.


Out on 3rd of May digitally, the EP embodies a signature Polari sound transcending time and space and immersing listeners into a time capsule of sweaty disco all-nighters.

Exclusive: Neurotiker - Ojos Distantes feat. Dani (Chinaski Remix)

Rhine-Main dance music wizard Chinaski sprinkles his dark-disco-ish vibes on Neurotiker's track Ojos Distantes, which comes as part of Neurotiker's The Dream Machine EP on Ritmo Fatale. A lush bass line combined with bleepy disco-chords make Chinaski's approach an intriguing spaced-out journey through and into the genre with the artist delivering a vibe one wants to move his/her waistline to the sexy bass line. If this is the start of 2021 then it raised the bars high for a better year, musically as well as for dance- and club culture.

Neurotiker's EP The Dream Machine will be released on Ritmo Fatale on February 5th, 2021.
