Gregorio Gomez aka Gladkazuka is a mythical figure from Medellin’s underground nightlife, contributing since pre-smartphone ages with energetic live sets to the celebration of life in the convulsive surrounding of the Colombian city. He is back on Cómeme with a full EP in which highly emotive and sensual electro dance fantasies culminate to ‘The Drop’. Gomez’ creations are nocturnal and lush, utopian and melancholic – underground dance pop that would be mainstream in a better world.
Comeme delivers Katerina’s very first EP to planet earth: ‘Just when you thought it was over’. Katerina from Helsinki – Finland via Sofia – Bulgaria is a passionate music lover, a skillful DJ, an imaginative music maker and an emotional and hyper sensitive artist. She produces music that is essential and timeless, tracks that feel necessary in your life once they have entered it. Her music breathes the emotionality of Hip Hop, the sensitivity of well placed, swinging beats, and that steady survival mode, that essential melancholy in dance music: where melodies tell about love and longing, and rhythms help you to keep going on.
‘Solidarity Forever Vol. III’ is the last chapter of this series, in which Cómeme introduces new artwork, a new logotype and three Various Artists EPs. ‘Solidarity Forever’ is Cómeme’s commitment to the reconstruction of underground culture. This last EP features music by Rizu X, Ana Helder, Aye Aye, Christian S and Katerina. You will be able to hear texmex hardcore industrial, new german hot wave, psychedelic seaside dub, motivating rebel techno and highly sensitive low tech jazz.
Cómeme starts 2018 by proving again to be a safe haven and a sanctuary for sensitive plants and unique characters devoted to music – just like Miruna Boruzescu aka Borusiade – from Bucharest. This is the first album of Borusiade, in which she takes her music to a new level, finding her very own expression, that is making us first shiver then sweat, then chill and finally melt. Her visions unfold through 8 pieces of music that follow a dreamlike narrative of associations and transformations. Somber synthetic atmospheres, sparse and spatial rhythmical arrangements, strangely seductive melodies and lysergic ally pulsating bass lines lead us away from a dystopian present towards a sensorial experience we long to repeat as soon as it’s over. ‘A Body’ is a deeply poetic work in which again and again you will hear Borusiade’s voice, sometimes dissolving and recreating meanings in mantra-like repetitions, sometimes layering itself to pagan choirs of smooth ecstasy. Then again you will also hear that voice close to you, singing, sharing an experience or a thought. It is always soft, effortless and unpretentious, but always strong, clear and precise, like the voice that speaks to you in an altered state of consciousness. It seems to come from the same person that is holding your hand, when everything else seems to fade into uncertainty while wandering through strange times and places.
Silent is the new single by Miruna Boruzescu aka Borusiade from Bucharest. Silent is a suffocated cry. Silent as in silence that is hard to take. Sitting and waiting in silence, while exploding on the inside. Silent as in silence before the storm. An intense track that recalls industrial spaces, hedonism, sweat, sex and disconnection from the outside world. The rattling sound of ghost train passing by, or big reverberated factory machines unleashed. Body music 2017. The B side features a remix by the project Khidja , also hailing from Bucharest, and is driven by the track’s bass synth, a neurotic now school electro rapture take on the original.
Miruna Boruzescu, DJ and producer from Bucharest, presents her first EP on Comeme. The film-score like house is filled with enormous drums and ever climbing synth arpeggios.
Comeme has resurfaced sporting a new artistic look and brandishing the same devilish approach to causing dancefloor chaos. The label’s latest EP comes from Isaac Johan, described in fanciful fashion as the “first genuine ghost” to join the pan continental Comeme fold. Believe what you want but lead track “Everytime I See Your Face” does sound like there’s a spirit careening around the inner workings of some Roland drum gear. Despite his apparent spectral state, the following triplet of tracks finds Isaac Johan to be a perfect addition to the Comeme fold.
Comeme imprint return from a short break sporting a new addition to the family. Hailing from Moscow, Phillip Gorbachev’s arrival on the label sees them expand operations continentally and with real style. Proceedings get off to a thrusting start with the epic sounds of “In The Delta” little more than a steadily crescendo building arch of arpeggiated energy over straight-up proto kicks. “Gas Lady” is equally simple in its execution and deadly in its intent, grasping several layers of synthy excellence over searing tones and loose limbed electro rhythms. “Montana Blues” combines a cavernous house rhythm with over the top electric guitar axe riffs; and somehow manages to sound thrillingly sweat inducing as opposed to awful and cheesy. “Postovoi” ends this release in diverse style, throwing a big old gristly punk funk bassline underneath a storm cloud of descendant rhythms.
