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.

Rambal Cochet – Volt Thrower EP [AH009]

RAMBAL COCHET - Volt Thrower EP

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]

KID MACHINE - The Lone Wolf

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]

GRAVEDAD CINETICA - Le Flaneur Spatial EP

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.

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.

DAS DING/ANTONI MAIOVVI/HYBOID/ANBAU/SYNTH ALIEN - Essere EP

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’.
