Collapsing Market release their first record. Eszaid (aka Louis Vial, one half of Mura Oka) inaugurates the imprint with four foreboding & gloomy trips that traverse through techno’s darker shades into haunting ambient. Louis Vial merges slow drum patterns with foggy textures and sparse arrangements. This is an incredibly affecting and mature first EP from the young producer who launches the label in the best way possible.

Teeth Of The Sea – Highly Deadly Black Tarantula [LAUNCH084]

December 31, 2015December 30, 2015 hipodromealbum, industrial, rocket launch, teeth of the seaLeave a comment

In the last decade, this iconoclastic four-pronged force has traversed from its origins in pub gigs and basement rehearsal rooms to far-flung locales aplenty. Yet this band has never lost sight of its original vision – to reconcile a fearless experimental drive with a primal lust for noise, and this is manifest on this fourth effort. Machine-driven yet melodically abundant, the widescreen industrial expanses of this album combine the influence of long-time band favourites like Aphex Twin, Angelo Badalamenti and Throbbing Gristle with new inspiration that spans from Chicago footwork to black metal. Yet this a fearsomely coherent assault of post-everything dementia sounds like no-one but Teeth Of The Sea.

Lata Ramasar – The Greatest Name That Lives [ICE009]

December 31, 2015June 21, 2024 hipodromealessandro adriani, disco, invisible city editions, lata ramasarLeave a comment

Hindustani singer/songwriter Lata Ramasar’s “The Greatest Name That Lives” has long been considered something of a pioneering voodoo disco/proto-house classic. In a bid to beat bootleggers, Invisible City have rushed through this official re-edit – produced with the cooperation of the Ramasar family – backing the original version with Alessandro Adriani’s infamous, previously unreleased remix on the flip. While that version, blessed as it is with additional analogue drum machine hits and dub effects, is rather fine, it’s the druggy simplicity of the chugging, synthesizer-heavy original – on which Ramasar’s vocal sounds particularly haunting – that’s the real killer.

December 30, 2015 hipodromedeep house, juliano, that place recordsLeave a comment

French producer Juliano delivers the next EP, entitled “This Must Be…”, on his own imprint That Place Records. Strongly influenced by US house, ‘Panaugust’ is a real dance floor killer with its never ending synth. The more emotional ‘Anthem For A Friend’ is a real tribute, drawing inspiration from Chicago and Detroit such as ‘The Real Mess’ with its special Rhythm & Blues vibe. Finally, ‘Cupid Mess’ brings a touch of Japanese mood, evoking images of an early-morning rising sun thanks to the classic Juno6 sound.

DEJ, Giusy - Walking In The Night

When “Walking in the Night” by Giusy Dej was first discovered as an incomplete track on the rare ‘A Touch of Class’ compilation, many italo fans were really surprised when it was later found as a single. And that the b-side “Follow Me” was also great! Both tracks represent the perfect mix of dark italo-disco and minimal-synth elements with raw lo-fi production. Without a doubt one of the most cult and sought-after discoveries in recent years. Flemming Dalum and Hysteric on remix duties.
