Hysteric – Life Is Cheap [BAP003]
Bordello A Parigi presents some superb European floor filler disco obscurities; edited by the greatest italo disco connaisseur from Down Under: Hysteric.
D. Carred – I Want To Know The World [BAP002]
After 25 years Bordello A Parigi offers you these mid-80’s italo-disco-bangers on vinyl again. Three old killer releases transformed in one reissue. The three course menu contains the two 1985 hard hittin’ D. Carred obscurities and continues with this spicey hidden gem ‘I’ll Go Where I Like To Go’ from Rambles, which was D. Carred’s first production on vinyl in 1984. On top of this sunny mountain of an Italian pie you’ll get two extra remixes of ‘You’ll Be A Winner’ by the Danish crème de la crème of italo: Flemming Dalum and Mike Salta. Comes with beautiful picture cover and illustrated inner sleeves.
Francisco – Disco Wizard [SLOMO007]
A shiny picture disco for Slow Motion Records release number 7 – Disco Wizard by Francisco from Jolly Music. Beamed from distant satellites via 1983 and picked up by a crack team of Berlin based Italian disco commandoes, the Disco Wizard brings to mind Space, the tougher end of pre-84 Italo, guys with beards and grace Jones and Amanda Leat dancing the night away. A nagging baseline propels the track forward with alternating male and female vocals that coo and tease’. On the flip side the dub mix strips away most of the vocals and injects some serious strut into the beats. The rougher, tougher cousin of the original to send the boys and girls wild with cosmic desire.

VA – The Minimal Wave Tapes Vol. 2 [STH2281]
This is the second volume of The Minimal Wave Tapes series, a collection of rare electronic music compiled from bands around the world. Most of the songs were recorded in the 1980s and originally released on limited edition cassettes or vinyl by the artists themselves, and only a handful of people knew about them. Now they’ve been remastered from their analog source tapes, brought to you by Veronica Vasicka and Peanut Butter Wolf.
VA – Danza Meccanica Vol. 2 Italian Synth Wave 1981-1987 [MNQ022]
Mannequin announce the second volume of the much acclaimed italian New Wave Italian compilation. “Danza Meccanica” is the latest, unmissable chapter in the story of Italian post punk – the less traditionally rock branch. It outlines the approach taken by ten more or less unknown groups who all deserve rediscovery and to be remembered alongside luckier outfits. Ten tracks that spell out the manifesto of a scene fascinated by electronic innovation.
Xerox Girls – Rammle EP [DUSTV035]
The Black Dog uncover a hidden corner of Sheffield’s DIY history with five tracks from Xerox Girls issued on their Dust Science imprint. The Xerox Girls formed in 1979 after witnessing other Steel City bands such as Cabaret Voltaire, They Must Be Russians and The Stunt Kites but to this day their tracks have been the preserve of obscure compilations and Sheffielders in the know. With an array of Acetone drum machines, Revox tape deck and suitably cheap synths they build strange and spiky tracks with one eye on the dancefloor and another wandering to more experimental sounds, ranging from the water-logged Coldwave of signature tune ‘Xerox Girls (We Are)’ to the tunnelling pulses of ‘Erase Me’ and trippier jaunts like ‘Level Five Car Park Dreams’ or the spitting circuitry of ‘Rammle’.
VA – Svensk Bonnasynth [ET006]
“Svensk Bonnasynth” basically says it all… this is Swedish Electronic Hillbilly Music! The musicians involved in Adolf Filter, Kord and Monster Apparat have a long tradition in producing electronic music and have been active in the Swedish music world for years. With this record they serve us roots music coming from analogue synths… traditional and conservative electro and synth music…!

Deymare – EP [LT007]
Local Talk presents a new 4 track EP by Deymare.. The production is smooth, based on classic 4/4 rhythm patterns and deep, futuristic synth layers.
Helium Robots – Jarza EP [RB031]
The Helium Robots aka Ewan Wilmott make imaginative Factory-Records-electro-balearic-disco, errr, and robot music. Two tracks of that caliber are placed on the a-side. The flip has Theo Parrish laying his gifted hands on Jarza to two different outcomes. ”Translation 1” is an up-to-date Parrish space cadet trip, while the second take emphases the dark and typical Theo magic in his roots house period.
Chris Gray / Moonchildren – Go Away (You’ve Got To) [DOWNBEAT006]
Moonchildren aka Chris Gray and his spacey-yet-groovey collection of electronic music are just a regular part of the Chicago deep life. This dark, bubbly, slow-paced tech-house Downbeat EP Go Away (You’ve Got To) is right on time for those who need a fix. The title track yearns for that psycho lover to get the hell out of your life for good. It Was The Fried Chicken That Saved Our Sanity (Because The Ghetto Is Sad) is not just a fancy song title. It’s one way Chris survived living in the impoverished Mississippi Delta. And we round out this sensual EP with Sun of God, which pays homage to the salvation and rare appearance that the sun brings during a long, wicked, brutally-cold Chicago Winter
Mitsuaki Komamura – Fog City [WEEDIS001]
Addictive beatdown house tracks inspired by the athmosphere of a foggy San Fransisco. Memories of days with good friends hanging out in a foggy city gives a melancholic feel, but the masculine grooves make this a fierce release that works well in the club. a Nice combination that goes back to some hiphop roots and a love for deeper intense house music that works in the club.
