The year 2010 was a good year, we started to do the podcast series and some events also, bringing artist like Mick Wills and Traxx and revealing mysterious cats like Das Komitee and Transilmania. Mostly we championed the Chicago sound in our podcast series, there was also some techno on the side and Italo in the middle.

Now we present the last podcast of 2010, a session from Alexander D’niel, a young artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina. This podcast is an one hour length incursion in the berghain-esque sound.

Happy holidays and happy listening.

Hipodrome Podcast 008 – Alexander D’niel

Publicist – Keep It Off The Record [VOLTPUBLICIST]

hipodrome, , , , Leave a comment

Publicist is the brainchild of Sebastian Thomson, mainly known as the drummer for post-rock stalwarts Trans Am and punk band Weird War. Mixing live drums and vocoded vox with spacey, arpeggiated dance rhythms and funk-laden bass lines, Publicist’s one man band approach appeals directly to a spectrum of 70s kraut-rockers, DJs, dancers, and party people.

Three other edits by the Italo Deviances founder Marcello Giordani. ‘Stop’ is an Italian release from 1983 with 303, live & electronic drums, and percussions…a very Chicago feeling till the lead vocal starts so become very early 80s Italo Disco! ‘Automatic’ is from an Italian singer / soubrette called Patrizia Pellegrino… warm bass and synth pianos with a space/ flangered lead vocals. ‘P&P’ is a must for all disco lovers, taken from the break of Nightlife Unlimited Peaches & Prunes its a tribute to Ron Hardy.

Fernando returns to Redux with some fine disco funk tracks based on some classic material. ‘Endless Disco’ and ‘Retrospective’ might come at different tempos, but they compliment each other perfectly, both are prime examples of his deep, low slung disco excursions, that feature his live bass and vocals. Bearfunk chief Steve Kotey repays the remix favour on a great mix of ‘Endless Disco’.

International techno collective and record label Sandwell District release their debut studio album. Feed-Forward, features previously unreleased techno cuts by the three central Sandwell artists – Dave Sumner as Function, Karl O’Connor as Regis and Juan Mendez as Silent Servant, with additional input from Female. A trademark, highly effective array of big industrial beats, off-kilter riffs and icy strings can be expected.

Expertly crafted DJ tools from a new French producer, the serious debut ‘EP1’ by Marcelus. The A-side confidently straddles that boundary between deepest Techno and House music with the pulsing, hypnotic propulsion of ‘Perception’ and  ‘Friction’. The B-side goes more House wise with the sublime square bass churn of ‘Utopia’ and the squashed aquatic Dub House of ‘Phenomena’.

Omar S & Kai Alce – Jive Time [FXHEAD]

New Omar S & Kai Alce collaboration. Hypnotic, dreamy synth lines with lush warm acid and loose, light percussion. Quite crisp and hi-fi in comparison to the Detroit grit we know these two can both pump out.
