DIE ROH/OKEE RU - Beam Boom Bum EP

3 craggy dancefloor cuts of disco infected technoid shuffled 808 beats and quirky samples. Lucretio (Restoration/Machines State) on remix duty has delivered a methane-fuelled remix of ”Non la Rai”, adding illicit 90s happiness to the original beats. A remix that could easily cross-refer to his hard-to-find tunes on Warm Sounds.

Vape is the new Italo-techno project of the Riviera band. Their first tracks range from the charming pop womanly appeal of “Antonello” to the pesticidal harshness of “Raid”, across the gross provincial anthem “Radioactivo”. Vulcano is the joint venture of Marco Shuttle and Perseus Traxx with the Vape manufacturers at the Brenta Studios. Their poisonous bits sprayed on this 12″ are the state of the art in pest control. These cats are really pushing things forwards here, the B-side especially is some out-there sonic manipulation. “Ugly Faders” reinforcing the feelings one might get if trapped in a malfunctioning space station. “Vulvano” continues the anti-gravity aesthetic and smudges the whole thing in a thick acid wash.

Riviera – SR11 EP [MUSCLE001]

RIVIERA - SR11 EP (Front Cover)

Muscle Records is a label for upfront dirty dance music. All tracks are conceived naturally and recorded on tape, so an elemental and honest approach is required to fully dive into Muscle Records sounds. Riviera is a band formed by a bunch of young talented gritty analogue junkies, most of which has already released on a couple of disrespected labels. The band first jams were recorded on parching tape in a sultry warehoue close to the Brenta’s muddy banks with a noisy dockyard of transistors delights.
