Florida Cancer – Graveyard [AH014]
Aspecto Humano’s owners presents a new release fro their project Florida Cancer. ‘Graveyard’ features four tracks ranging from EBM, New Beat, to Techno.
VA – Cuentos Futuros [AH013]
After several releases focused on EBM and New Beat with variations adapted to the current sound, Aspeto Humano returns to Electro waves with a ‘Various’ entirely made by Spanish producers. The record is a 12″ with six tracks by six artists as Dark Vektor, Robert Cosmic, Gravedad Cinética, Mecanizados Colomer, Siarem and Florida Cancer.
Siarem – Ancient Code [AH012]
Siarem, this experienced artist is a sound artisan. The secret of the extraordinary quality of his spotless and calibrated sound could be his exclusive use of analogic gear. For this new release he introduces five tracks where Techno and Electro are mixed with EBM and Industrial.
WLDV – The Fourth Kind [AH011]
WLDV introduces four tracks on this new 12″ release in tribute to Valencia’s ‘La Ruta del Bacalao’ (or Ruta Destroy), with a kind of Proto-Techno that reminds us the late eighties and early nineties movement sound, also mixed with his personal Horror Disco.
Florida Cancer – Green Book EP [AH010]
Introducing the tenth installment 12″, Aspecto Humano’s owners debut with a new project inspired by their dark EBM / Wavy influences.
Rambal Cochet – Volt Thrower EP [AH009]
Russian producer Rambal Cochet aka Volta Cab, an artist very much influenced by Goa Trance brings three new tracks with a sound that captivates us to that time, adding New Beat and EBM waves close to ‘Valencia Sound’ and its legendary ‘Ruta Destroy’. The record includes an absolute banger: a Kris Baha remix to burn the dancefloor, as usual.
Kid Machine – The Lone Wolf [AH007]
No presentations are necessary for one of the boss referents in the international scene as far as Synth and Italo Disco are concerned. Our admired Kid Machine is in charge. This extremely prolific artist comes to Aspecto Humano after releasing real gemms in reference labels such as Viewlexx, Red Laser or Cyber Dance. The record consists of five tracks and is conceived open-mindedly and with sounds which refer us to Synthwave, Electro and Italo Disco.
Gravedad Cinética – Le Flaneur Spatial [AH006]
The new release from Aspecto Humano brings us a 12″ by Gravedad Cinética, electro project by Barcelona’s Adrián Costa AKA Groovycosta. The vinyl consists of five tracks with Electro as the main protagonist, although it’s not the only one. Lines with blunt bass, a variety of arpeggios and outer space melodies, are all combined with 808 drums. It’s kinetic music that creates a retro-futurist sound landscape with touches of classic Techno.
Templebeat – Interzone LP [AHLP001]
Glad to rescue this authentic lost treasure from music genre. Templebeat, Italian group now extinct which moved between EBM and Industrial. The formation created in 1990, is part of the self-named second generation of EBM groups. Originally published on cassette in 1992 by label also Italian, Energeia.
2018 Top 3 – Readers List
This is a short recap of what our readers enjoyed most on Hipodrome, a top 3 of the most appreciated albums, compilations, mixes and other stuff.
Albums
Vakula – Metaphors [Leleka]
The most appreciated album by our readers is ‘Metaphors’, the album from the Ukrainian master Vakula. ‘Metaphors’ is slightly different from some of his full-length excursions, focused as it is on the gently unfurling, head-in-the-clouds world of ambient music. Of course, much of the music is still gently rhythmic but the vibe remains thoroughly horizontal throughout.
Zurich Dada – Globus Cassus EP [AH005]
A new work produced by Zurich Dada, a duo from Porto, who play a kind of calm and melancholic Synth Pop. The release comes with two original tracks from them. On side A with ‘Peta Bytes’, which includes Antoni Maiovvi and Franck Kartell remixes, who are back on Aspecto Humano. On side B is included ‘Kites’ with a banger remix from the house by Anbau.
Book of Life / Knickknack – Verlorene Seelen / Freudlos (M.W. Cuts) [AH004]
Mick Wills makes magic again with his cuts and transforms two tracks of the past in two superb master pieces. From glorious Italo-disco to a hypnotic Industrial, one track by side on this new release on Aspecto Humano.
VA – Essere EP [AH001]
The debut release of Aspecto Humano, label based in Barcelona, is being presented as a sampler composed of five tracks, which clearly shows the label’s preferences and what to be found in the future. The first track is the new version of Das Ding’s classic ‘H.S.T.A.’, a jewel that has not been pressed on vinyl to date. Follows ‘Extraterrestrial Biological Entity’, a killer track made by master of horror Antoni Maiovvi, and finish the side Hyboid with his well known synthwave ‘Telepath or Psycopath’. On the other side the debut of part of Aspecto Humano founders, Anbau, with their kraftwerkian ‘Disco Z’. Ends the reference Synth Alien, one of the most reputated spanish artists at the moment, focused to burn the dancefloor with his ‘Bailarina Automatica’.
