Whodamanny – Onda Biloba LP [PRD1028]
Whodamanny has been releasing colorful and evocative club compositions as part of his Periodica sublabel Biloba, and now, with ‘Onda Biloba’, the dynamic DJ and producer expands on these sounds with a full length exploration that overflows with vibrant textures of world dance exotica and paradise pop balearica, resulting in one of his most ambitious and adventurous releases so far. Recorded at his Biloba studio, the album is a sunburst bounty of groove, with downtempo jams alive with searing fuzz leads, expressive vocal interplay and seascape synth solos giving way to deviant disco in a dayglo dreamscape. Loved up lyrical spells play against Hi-NRG hedonism while sunburnt saxophones scream, and subtropical nights are soundtracked by amalgamations of sultry summer samba and blazing funk fusion. Equatorial house beats move the body beneath a pan-cultural carnival parade and fantasy flutes fly over stretches of slow dubby dream balladry while elsewhere flashes of sax, drum, and piano create a body burning fire of sweat, movement, and motion.

Italian producer Endless Nothing presents his debut X-IMG release “Forever Gone”, a tightly assembled and refined seven track album of brooding club cuts and finessed sound design topped off by a remix from SARIN. With sonic and creative concepts rooted in exploring themes of urban isolation and the harshness of modern capitalist existence, Endless Nothing weaves between techno, body music and post-punk influences to deliver his distinct sound characterized by crushing basslines, martial rhythms, and distorted, nihilistic atmospheres. Beyond his original productions, Endless Nothing has also made a name for himself as a remixer, working with key operators within the dark electronics underworld.
2:29 – Shifting Bits [DDCS07]
‘Shifting Bits’ marks the first full-length statement from 2:29, a rising young artist from the Netherlands. Rooted in shadowy, melody-streaked electro, the five original tracks (including one self-rework) revolve around the idea of transition and transformation. The title Shifting Bits reflects 2:29’s background as a software engineer: in computing, shifting bits alters values, creates new ones, or even causes loss, an irreversible process that parallels the way sound, workflow, and artistic intention evolve. Moving from DAW-based attempts to a more tactile hardware approach, these tracks capture the moment where experimentation starts crystallizing into a distinct voice. The cassette is rounded out by three remixes: a distorted and vintage-melodic rework from fellow Dutch producer Betonkust, a darker, driving version by Croatian veteran Le Chocolat Noir, and a contribution from Budapest’s Hadron Lundgren, his third appearance on the label, who reshapes the original into cold, atmospheric form.
Italoconnection – Like A Star / Make It Real [BAP239]
Two vocal tracks and two instrumentals. The classic EP structure reflects the class act that is Fred Ventura and Paolo Gozzetti. Italoconnection are back at the Bordello weaving their synthesizer magic. And those analogue lines are what immediately wash over the listener in “Like A Star.” Crisp percussion and sailing melodies break to a glorious hook before Ventura’s unmistakable voice takes hold. Paying homage to Moroder’s “From Here To Eternity”, Italoconnection deliver a vocoder dipped love affair as smouldering vocals pitch ever higher. The instrumental strips back all lyrics, but allows the breathy keys to remain and keep that human touch amidst the addictive chords and rich textures. Bold machine brass introduces “Make It Real.” These blasts form the melodic backbone for this ballad to self-belief where Ventura’s impassioned words are impeccably coupled with Gozzetti’s sparkling synthwork. That synthwork comes to the fore in the finale. With lyrics pared back, the machines sing a different song as that energy packed melody is charged with even more intensity. Quality through and through, as always with Italoconnection.
