strong italo masterpiece

vor vier jahren debütierte francesco strippoli auf bordello a parigi mit universal oneness, gefolgt von der analog geprägten prison planet ep. nun kehrt der in bari lebende produzent unter seinem pseudonym armonics mit vier tracks für future echoes zurück. die synthesizer-wärme, die frühere veröffentlichungen charakterisiert hat, ist sofort präsent.

giorgio records hat sich mit bordello a parigi zusammengetan, um diese wunderschöne italo-disco-schnulze neu aufzulegen, die ursprünglich 1984 in sehr begrenzter stückzahl veröffentlicht wurde.

castelli aka stefano castelli s debütalbum anni venti verbindet die ganze synthie-geschichte seiner italienischen heimat mit gefühlvollem songwriting.

diese 4 tracks zum thema vögel übertreffen alles, was man bisher von diesem synthesizer-zauberer gehört hat. die ep ist komplex, tiefgründig und vielschichtig und zeugt von einem selten gehörten talent.

excellent synthesizer disco tracks by elfenberg, one of stockholms best exports.

alan strani wurde in den alpen in einem kleinen haus zwischen der italienischen und der schweizer grenze geboren und ist ein transdisziplinärer künstler, der musik und bildende kunst erforscht. für sein neues album lud er die künstler saeko killy, dasho utochka (love object) und die französische sängerin tessa martin ein, um gemeinsam mit ihm zu versuchen, den aktuellen zeitgeist musikalisch zu verarbeiten und gleichzeitig unser verhältnis zur digitalen welt zu hinterfragen. das ergebnis ist das album, das von der gleichnamigen single apocalypso getragen wird, ein wortspiel, das andeutet, dass die ganze welt angesichts einer möglicherweise bevorstehenden apokalypse wie ulysse während seiner odyssee von den reizen der nymphe calypso abgelenkt wird.

eine geschichte von liebeskummer, der track nimmt den herzschmerz der wave-romantik auf und kontrastiert ihn mit klaren musikalischen linien.

good as usual. no more words needed.

decks tipp!!
ichisan s 2017 aperitiv was so good that we ve decided to return for a second helping from his sumptuous album. four choice cuts have been selected and reworked with a specific instrument focus. the harpsicord version of -hotel- keeps the intoxicating melody of the original but allows beats to relax as notes shine with an incandescent brilliance. drums put their feet up for the rhodes version of -modri tunel.- deep stings and lounging lines mingle in this work of smoke swirling seduction. -kozmetika (trumpet version)- dances to a different tune. rich bass is again central but this time brash and bold brass intertwine with funk filled bars. the last waltz arrives with the piano version of -terminal e.- alluring notes ascend, rising and falling against heartwrenching guitar strings for a finale to end this ballroom inspired beauty.

bordello a parigi is on the hunt once again, this time journeying to southern france to unearth an up and coming sect of synthesizer sorcerers: blind delon. hailing from toulouse, the triumvirate of mathis kolkoz, théo fantuz and coco thiburs offer a sound that combines indie and wave with seemingly effortless execution. the soft interlude of -sometimes- introduces assassin. a groove grips pulsing rhythms, subtle strings and throaty vocals in the captivating -sombre soleil-. those vocals become even deeper in the dreamy -j ai honte-. smoke spirals around keys in this brooding work of guitars rifts and bruised egos. the title piece perfectly melds warm strings with cold synthlines for a superb climax to an ep that exudes modern synth-wave chic.

a new year means new musical horizons here at the bordello. curses formed his sound in the distortion and sweat of back alley dive bar bars amidst the crash of guitars and the audible gulp of beer. hints of disco and wave balance this rougher edge, smoothing down those creased lines for a style that adheres to no boundaries. -pedal to the metal and don t look back- is a perfect introduction to curses multifaceted sound. beats orbit burbling bass and brash strings in a work of dreamy hypnotics. -knife in teeth- comes from a similarly shadowy lair. dark bars are further inked by industrial percussion in a track born on the factory floor to strict ebm parents. terr takes on -pedal to the metal and don t look back- and does the original proud. bass rumbles to the tune of a guttering engine before lighter notes take hold. murky currents are cleared by bright synth blasts in this uplifting remake. the bird of paradise closes the ep with his psychedelic take on -knife in teeth.- drums take on a more sinister tone as tribal rhythms give rise to jungle imagery and the immediate threat of what might lurk behind those supposedly innocent sounds.

temperatures are dropping and we re all feeling the effects. bordello a parigi is letting the cold winds of the north swirl inside its doors with russia s volta cab bringing a fresh 2lp to the table. a spread of influences come together for the eleven tracks of rise again. take -emerald s phantasy-, a piece built on layers of percussion that blends elements of disco with notes of techno. -dark room- is a different affair. arctic chords are cut with electro and distant vocals for an unsettling treat. -kruger- stomps to a terse beat before lush pads bloom in a work that builds to dizzying peaks. warm blasts balance these colder moments, the rich grooves of -savage fury-, the floor filling funk of -board scandinavia- and the removed romance of -sweet exorcist- all show another shade to the volta cab sound and of course there s more. rise again is an audio collection of vibrant colours and hues, tracks pitch from icy blues to autumnal ambers and fiery reds, a musical kaleidoscope that stretches across a spectrum of styles.

...and in the end, not a great deal is known about the spanish duo futuro. the saga begins with the discovery of a cache of test pressings deep within the shelves of a very dusty record shop near the plaza del toros de valencia. as is the case with these things there was no promo sheet or any other information outside of three clues etched into the run-out groove: futuro, jollyman, mcmlxxxvii. through deduction and reasoning it was soon realised that jollyman was a short lived italian record label that closed it s doors in 1987. there were rumours for a while that jollyman was a mafia wedding gift to a music enthused female family member, but as the journey continued it became slightly more likely that this was a tax write-off for it s owners, as the label itself was never very successful, and was more likely an afterthought rather than a full on passion project. that is not to say that there were not gems hidden within it s small catalogue, most notably from noted library musician, composer and arranger alessandro signoretti, without whose help this release would not be presently in front of you. alessandro s assistance led us to the infamous hafenklang studio in hamburg, germany. the very same studio used by boytronic to record their classic lp the continental (some of the same dx presets can easily be heard on both albums) and despite the insane amounts of musicians that have passed through those doors the owner clearly remembered the duo and finally the mysterious futuro had names: javier c rayón and raúl láynez.

too late for the italo boom, and too early for the sonido de valencia craze, the recordings of futuro have sat on master tapes since 1987 finally awaiting their much deserved audience. bordello a parigi are more than proud to present this lost late slow-mo synthesizer italo masterpiece onto the world.

fred ventura and paolo gozzetti are italoconnection. in anticipation of their upcoming album metropoli on bordello a parigi we present to you the voyage ep album sampler with alternative edits and an amazing cover version of the electronic circus direct lines which are exclusive to this 12 inch.

bordello is back with another volume in the riviera disco series featuring forgotten illusions from france, comme un coeur from latvia/russia, stijn sadee from the netherlands and diane vain from belgium!

2183. after crash landing on an alien planet, intrepid explorer modula valiantly crawls from the wreckage of his interplanetary cruiser clinging to his life (and antique synthesizers.) taken captive, this neo-naples born space traveller is soon drafted into the services of the court of this other world s ruler. his music boxes save his life and change the very face of this distant kingdom. the results have just been beamed back in time to earth and intercepted by the bordello receiver dish. modula s voice crackles through and utters two words: autostrada galattica . cosmic boogie, futuristic funk and deep space disco are human terms to describe these sounds sent half way across the universe to be enjoyed by we humans of the 21st century. love, sacrifice and musical riches from a synthesizer super nova.

originally released in 1983 on the famous cam records for the obscure vietnam movie tornado (antoni margheriti), this highly sought-after soundtrack finally gets the official re-issue treatment it deserves! a very diverse lp with productions that range from classic soundtrack and horror to italo disco and pop... and even a featuring of the late toots thielemans. limited pressing!

born in an x1/9 and raised on a diet of b-movies, cerrone and fettuccine, french dj and producer alan dente is the latest addition to the esteemed bordello a parigi roster. a full time member of parisian party crew and digging experts les yeux orange, dente has spent the last few years tearing up the banlieues and blogosphere with a heady mix of disco, boogie, italo and proto-house. after a life changing contribution to manctalo institution red laser records, dente arrives at the bordello in style with his dancefloor haute couture.

two generations of italian music history come together on this split 7inch. milan meets rome, fred ventura meets alessandro adriani. for this occasion adriani and ventura covered the 82 evergreen changing by bill bruce. the perfect combination to pay homage to this monumental piece of music. on the flip side fred s early 80s new wave band state of art got the remix treatment by alessandro s moniker newclear waves. another unique match of these two key figures preserving the 80s underground sound of italy.

finally a visitor from another meaning returns to earth, and vinyl. the viewlexx veteran is back on our world with lost encounters i, four cuts from the vaults. beamed in from a distant galaxy is the blazing brilliance of -dance of the happy shadows-. past film score greats immediately come to mind. vangelis. carpenter. moroder. -i rarely talk to strangers- pulses with crisp beats and rumbling arpeggios, cloudy skies ready to rain on a polluted l.a. in 2019. the blue dot is left behind for the elation of -j is for jupiter-. the stars are the place to be. -j is for jupiter ii- drifts from cosmic currents before illuminating the heavens for the lead out into end credits.

"party apex newness dancing action in short p.a.n.d.a. this was the theme song of the panda club in mid 80’s italy where marcello bertini aka dj arch (arch stands for architect, he was studying architecture at that time) was a resident dj. it was pressed on limited edition vinyl to promote the club and parties. a few decades later this 12″ was re-discovered and became an in great demand record for italo collectors. bordello a parigi got in touch with marcello bertini and found out he still had all the original mastertapes, laqcuers and even the cmyk films for the sleeve: a true italo treasure. get ready for some dancing action!"
