the 1984 album from back on vinyl.

strangelove music isdelighted to present its first project, two songs from lena d’Água, one of portugal’s great musical acts of the early 1980’s. combining a siren presence and soaringvocalsalong side songwriter luis fonseca and backing band atlântida, they released a series of records that wove through the avante-pop sensibilities of the time.collected here are two of their more leftfield moments, ‘jardim zoológico’ is a beguiling mix of new wave, post punk and dub into a short sharp pop format, impossible to properly categorize, the dynamic composition sounding as fresh now as it did 35years ago. on the flipside, the calmer ‘tao’ takes fonseca’s keyboards towards more eastern territory, conjuring up a dreamy synthesized new age vibe. lena’s beautiful fado hued notes hang poignantly across bothsongs. beautifully re-mastered by reissue specialist peter beckmann vital sales points: - debuted on tim sweeney’s beats in space radio show & tastemakers stamp the wax and dream chimney, test pressing distributed among the balearic mafia, moonboots/ phil mison, hunee etc -support from key tastemaker retailers including redlight records, growing bin, organic japan, piccadilly etc

nice price deal !!! second release on wax for led records, and now is the time for gas vs linuz first ep with a project started as a collaboration between two italian artists: enrico gasperini and lino pugliese. day zero goes darker and deeper: an underneath bass always moving under hypnotic rhythms is shaked by spacey syhnth sounds for an overall >epic< feeling..a track for both evening and morning sessions .. >zuloop< is an un-conventional electronic house track: broken beat loops, live orienteddrums and cutted voice elements are fused with a sunny piano-synth foran out-of-scheme sound.. miguel sar, better knowns as tadeo, is one of the most important artists of the spanish electronic scene and delivers a true bomb with his remix for led002: 808 rhythms and groovin bass mixed with a sensual vocal line turns >day zero< and >zuloop< into a more club-oriented track for a great journey into electronic sound!!

new release on leo anibaldis legendary imprint cannibald, this time from zooloft masters giorgio gigli and obtane.

zooloft is proud to present you our second step-forward to the golden age of tech-noir. zooloft 00j is a collection of remixed tracks taken from our hidden archive. claro intelecto, svreca and brando lupi make this release unique, bringing their own personal touch to rare and obscure recordings. a new collector item for your bliss. limited hand numbered 400 12inch (140g black vinyl). graphic and photographic cover artwork (by lord z) printed on coated matte premium paper 380g with a varnish satin finish.

zooloft records is approaching to the era of future tech-noir and this release is the result of an internal process of thoughts and ideas behind them. it tells the story of a sad wanderer who is trying to find the path to personal truth. outside, a desolate scenario of modern architectures of cold glass, standing to the edge of horizon. a wonderland of mirrors and empty landscapes: the triumph of solitude. the a side starts with a complex and claustrophobic dark-techno driver which sets a point of no-return. an obsessive pattern of sub-frequencies collides with breaths from the beyond. sound paranoia. the highest frequencies create phrenetic and compulsive rhythms to make the dynamics imploding. the heroes of modern-age industrial techno, orphx, make the path to truth harder. they trace an obscure reinterpretation of the a side with a percussive alarm that marks the time, while dense and anxious atmospheres are followed by syncopated beats and distorted high-frequencies. the breaths from the beyond are now closer than ever. the ep gets closed by an evocative, thoughtful and beatless composition. the perfect soundtrack for those who are wandering and wondering

the new zooloft release >analysis of a nihilist who wants to become famous<, written by obtane and giorgio gigli, begins with a long techno track of horizontal, metaphysical and stratospheric connotations

dark and spooky techno, very athmospheric

if the eyes would be the mirror of the soul we could easily know others. but that may be not true so this is the aim of giorgio gigli and obtanes >the incredible tale of secret journey through your eyes<: penetrate your eyes and reach your soul and subconsce until we know your truth. psychoanalytic claims this time for zooloft, opening with an upbuilding, dramatic techno anthem, telling us of a true love on the hills. on the other side, geophones master mike parker delivers a pulsating and acidic techno driver where heart impulses are generated by a disturbed soul, creating spasms and panic feelings. the ep get closed by a strongly romantic drone track that tells us love is still the only way-out.

brand new zooloft, limited to 250 gold vinyl. these always sell out quick so pre-orders are advised. each copy is hand numbered & stamped.

zoolofts >looking through a mindscape< ep is a decidedly dark new cut from giorgio gigli and obtane. the catalogue number is 00d and if the >d< signifies anything it should be dystopian. this utterly visual ep straddles dancefloor-optimised rhythms and atmospheric ambience.

the environmental radiation dose on the moon ep is the first collaboration between zooloft and aconito records. the two labels are twinned in exploring the limits of techno, experimenting with structures and sequences and ultimately arriving at the place where the deep and dark sublimes. the ep opens with the child that was watching the moon a track lifted right out of the drone-techno hymnal. it starts with muddied, subterranean bass and builds not just outwards but inwards. filled with obtuse references and metallic rasps the atmosphere created is obscure and spectral. on the reverse the moon that was watching the child sounds like its been exposed to radiation. the sounds are distorted, as if created from samples of the genome unzipping. the arrangement is stunning, bells filter in and out and the layers smelt into one another. there is awe at work here, but its an awe that remains underpinned by terror. this release, mastered in berlin at the legendary calyx studio, is something of a record collectors dream. it will be released on solid silver vinyl in a very limited edition of just 200 copies. za000ltd should be enjoyed on wax, this wont be available digitally.

after listening youll have a cear peak into the warped mind of andrea fiorito, a producer that again delivers an original combination of style that breaks the genre norms.

the third release from zooloft, again by giorgio gigli and obtane. contextualised in monochrome is brilliant wax featuring dystopian visions, collapsing psychedelics and raw techno. smear, from forward strategy group, delivers a proper grinding remix that will bring you into a dimension of electricity and tension, optimal for futuristic dancefloors. 200 limited & hand-numbered copies, no digital.

inspired by a post nuclear structure, its time to building up a solid fortress to avoid natural catastrophes. while obtane is constructing a solid and deep basement of stormproof pulsations and dry rhythms, giorgio gigli is finishing up the work adding ultramoody and mind blowing atmospheres to make your new home a perfect heaven.

the meeting between tyrrhenians obtane and romes giorgio gigli creates two deep and dark techno where cinematic elements meet industrial structures in a dry and powerful form. transmission is up building and tight, the dark patterns reach obsession. reception takes a wider signal from a mysterious laboratory somewhere in the mountains.

first release for this new italian label, who claim to bring techno back to its top level. we re inclined to agree with those sentiments, as are the others who have received promos of the release. the a side consists of two deep and dark techno tracks, that should also find favour with more minimal djs. they are apparently by a popular northern european artist, going under the guise of ????. the label has kept such a secret that we dont even know who it is. on the b side, we have a soz adams (esperanza, archipel, gumption) remix of label head obtane and fris, which is a retro chicago style excursion, and german duo sebastian herre and obscure close the ep with a more detroit techno inspired track.

nice price deal !!! uk superstars ultrabeat will hit germany with their awesome vocal dance tunes! you just get the best of the best including a brandnew mix of sure feels good by manox, i wanna touch you and pretty green eyes.

-introduction to zoology- is the first album of music composer and film editor bartosz cichonsky. the title of his album is certainly sarcastic and that is in fact a clue about how much offbeat it is. doctor in atmosphere for some, pytors signature sound

the ultimate halloween-themed novelty rock n roll soundtrack featuring vintage sides from the 1960s and audio of 3 horror movie trailers.

stag-o-lee presents part 3 of the dusty ballroom compilation series.

moire already worked with record labels such as r&s, werk discs and rush hour.

having made himself an indispensable member of the uk soul/funk scene, playing live performances of ‘zoology’ to much acclaim, as well as setting up a regular groove night at london’s 606 jazz club, carl has recently finished work on his second album - pixel planet, which tells the story of an alien spacecraft, exploring our solar system, 30.000 years into the future - looking for the last bastion of human activity long after we have departed. this dystopian tale is told using a huge array of cosmic electronics, many of which were soldered together by carl himself, including his own diy synthesiser - the recyclotron 64 - constructed out of commodore 64 chips and built in an mdf box, and providing some of the monster bass lines on this album. as well as calling in the digisoul gang, some new friends appear on this album, including powerhouse drummers pete ray biggin, and ‘jungle’ jimmy norden.

after his ep together with ness, giorgio gigli returns to planet rhythm with another italian collaboration. this time he is joined in the studio by roman talent vsk. whilst gigli is known for his hypnotic productions on labels such as prologue and his own zooloft, vsk has been steadily releasing bangers on labels such as eartoground and recently perc trax.
both gentleman’s styles are blended flawlessly together in a masterful ep. reverb soaked sounds are effortlessly merged with powerful kicks and basslines. from the haunting atmosphere on “silent age” to the trademark vsk synthwork on the b-side, this special collaborative debut is one that we surely hope to to present again on planet rhythm!

violet poison is the dark, enigmatic and esoteric side-project of francesco baudazzi, already known as obtane, co-owner with giorgio gigli of the defunct techno label zooloft. the new project is focused on analogue proto-techno with influences from 70s italian progressive bands like goblin or ost composers like fabio frizzi and earlier downwards records from 1994-1995.

after a decade of releasing on labels like mental groove, dumb unit and prologue, outside his co-owned and well-fashioned zooloft stable, as a producer giorgio gigli has long hit his stride. since emerging on rome-based elettronica romana, gigli has honed a distinctly dark take on trippy, dystopic-tinged techno, especially so with partner obtane

this new ep on m_rec ltd., which sees label owner max_m collaborate with zooloft co-owner obtane, certainly fits the musical profile people have come to associate with italian underground productions. both with an incredibly strong background, the two producers celebrate their love for techno by delivering two tracks where contemporary techno experimentation and anthemic solutions meet.
