hipodrome, , , , , , Leave a comment

DayVentura graces Slow Motion Records with his debut EP ‘The Midnight Man’ a release that champions his perceptive ear, expanding on his refreshingly charged approach to Italo Disco and its smokier corners. Opening with the hefty heat of the title track ‘The Midnight Man’ FM arps flicker from ear to ear, riding explosive bass and a familiar effervescent tone. Sultry vocals drift over the track, igniting the acid lines. ‘Into The Mirror’ follows this thread, soaked in steam and infectious energy. It features vocals from Marina Leggieri. DayVentura leans into the dark and throws listeners into a peak time, wall-climbing setting. Pushing the envelope with each transition with gutterall weight DayVentura fuels the fire. Wrong Era affiliate and Italo, Electro icon Leona Jacewska, joins DayVentura in ‘Fashion District’ a driving collaboration dripping in infectious sleaze. His signature percussion rides through with Charlie’s enigmatic synths and commanding vocals. ‘The Horizontal Technique’ plays with the tongue-in-cheek nature of its title. Crisp claps and thunderous synths thrust the track into action, allowing the vocals to saunter through

Arnaud Rebotini & Acid Washed – Artificial Darwinism (A) [LAXBLACK03]

Skylax Records presents the second chapter in a landmark 4-part saga — a secretive and conceptual series uniting two titans of French electronic music: Arnaud Rebotini & Acid Washed. Following the acclaimed Winter Sequences (LAXBLACK 01) and Rebotini’s Musical Component, SKYLAX BLACK 3 pushes further into cinematic rave, electro, and techno territory. On the A-side, Artificial Darwinism ignites the EP with raw intensity — fusing early 2000s Blackstrobe energy, UR aggression, and cold wave tension into a hypnotic, funk-laced ritual. They Are Coming follows with darker, driving techno — mechanical yet alive, pulsing with paranoia and urgency. Flip to the B-side for Space Time 303, a dreamy ambient-acid trip evoking early R&S and IDM — ethereal, timeless, and drifting through time. Closing the EP, A Comet in the Northern Sky delivers melancholic electro in the spirit of Dopplereffekt and Drexciya, elevated by Rebotini’s analog mastery. A visionary statement — intelligent, bold, and essential.

Each one is a guaranteed dance floor ‘hammer’.

Dystopia is closer than you think and TLXCO is letting you know through this immersive electro experience dissolving anything calcified within at least a miles range. All four tracks are as mesmerizing in the club as during a listening session. The second version of the title track introduces more distorted acid and intensifies the feeling of impending dystopia, leaving you in an eerie place in the dark. The ground is more of an acid slow burner, useful in many situations on the dance floor.

2:29 – Shifting Bits [DDCS07]

hipodrome, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

‘Shifting Bits’ marks the first full-length statement from 2:29, a rising young artist from the Netherlands. Rooted in shadowy, melody-streaked electro, the five original tracks (including one self-rework) revolve around the idea of transition and transformation. The title Shifting Bits reflects 2:29’s background as a software engineer: in computing, shifting bits alters values, creates new ones, or even causes loss, an irreversible process that parallels the way sound, workflow, and artistic intention evolve. Moving from DAW-based attempts to a more tactile hardware approach, these tracks capture the moment where experimentation starts crystallizing into a distinct voice. The cassette is rounded out by three remixes: a distorted and vintage-melodic rework from fellow Dutch producer Betonkust, a darker, driving version by Croatian veteran Le Chocolat Noir, and a contribution from Budapest’s Hadron Lundgren, his third appearance on the label, who reshapes the original into cold, atmospheric form.

Bound By Endogamy – Steamy Highways Have No End [PNKMN060]

hipodrome, , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

After the storm of their self-titled debut, Geneva duo Bound By Endogamy return to Pinkman with an album that trades brute force for precision. The rage remains, but it’s sharpened, disciplined, and driven by melancholy rather than rupture. Their minimal synth and industrial instincts rise to the surface, carving out room for melody without softening their confrontational edge. Angular basslines coil beneath Kleio Thomaïdes’ voice, at times detached and at times devastating, while Shlomo Balexert’s drum programming and synth work build a taut metallic tension. The result is both intimate and mechanical: love songs for disenchanted souls, post-punk electronics stripped to the bare wire. Bound By Endogamy have always blurred the line between performance and survival, and here they do it with minimal gestures and maximum impact.
