introducing the fourth release from southern lights, dedicated to releasing high-end modern techno. our fourth release is a journey into magnetic realms and cosmic orbits from modern heads with the ‘elementi comptabili’ ep.
modern heads is the production brainchild of dino sabatini and gianluca meloni, who together have pioneered their version of timeless techno, always capturing their vision of the future in the present. elementi compatibili comprises of four elements. elemento a and c are both beautifully crafted ambient excursions, both softly navigating their way along celestial paths. elemento b and d move from ambient bliss to more sharper, moving sequences.
the hypnotism is more pronounced and a signature style of modern heads, elements that have been previously showcased on outis music, dozzy records and stroboscopic artefacts. for lovers of fine art and fine techno. limited to 300 copies, 180-gram vinyl.

picking up where they left off three years ago, modern heads, the much-respected collaboration between gianluca meloni and dino sabatini, are back with a dynamic and intriguing four track ep. the duo go straight in here with the club-ready athena. throughout this track, tight percussive elements wind in and around one another, creating an ever-changing rhythm that you can only just hold onto. under this, tense synths pulse away, producing an opaque and insular atmosphere. next up, eumaeus lightens the mood somewhat, providing clarity with a distinct opening drum pattern. this mood doesnt last long though, as indiscernible, haunting vocals begin to echo in the distance, gradually moving closer and further in the mix as sharp pads swoosh either side. side b of the record opens with the deepest and longest track of the ep, eurycleia. simple yet unrelenting drums frame this hypnotic sci-fi episode, through which otherworldly screeches and rumbles reverberate over the twinkling sounds of machines. eurycleias atmosphere continues straight into the final track, laertes theme. this beatless piece takes eurycleias exploratory mood and extrapolates it over five and a half minutes, resulting in what feels like the perfect soundtrack to a glacial expedition in alien territory. as an ep this is a complete and coherent package, a perfect extension to modern heads previous work. the sound palette is familiar, yet refined, developed upon and taken further. the old beggar is undeniably worth the wait for anyone with a taste for the extraterrestrial.

it all began about ten years ago in a basement in the heart of rome, the story of a crew of people who followed a musical ideal and created an original sound and an unmistakable style. after the return of modern heads with outis 006 chapter ii, memories once again led me to friends i made during the period of the first productions on elettronica romana, and i asked them for personal interpretations of the track beginning. from the youngest claudio prc to the veterans donato dozzy and giorgio gigli, all together on an amazing release. - dino sabatini

first on decks .de !!! sa007 sees perc and modern heads create the first collaborations between these two core stroboscopic artefacts artists. the result is a punishing hybrid of percs dubstep tendencies and modern heads cutting techno. a-side >mendax< is cavernous. built upon solid dub foundations, it spills over into grinding, metallic territory. if the titles to be believed it takes inspiration from the shady world of lies and deceit. the atmosphere seems to agree, theres certainly something mendacious at work here. b1 takes the eps atmosphere and adds abrasion. in >percdax< cold, hard percussion is layered over a bed of warm dub. closer >moddax< errs on the eerie. it skulks, is full of sticky bleeps and the result is unnervingly dubbed out. all three track titles share the same suffix and if this indicates that they also share one quality its that theyre best heard in the glinting shadows of a club just before day break. sa007 was craftily mastered by artefacts mastering, berlin.

cripsy and a little bit industrial flavoured darker techno killer

“courtrai moderne: definite definitivos” is the very first full vinyl release of kortrijk’s own punk heroes: an anthology of their best songs. it was sheer enthousiasm when punk-craze hit kortrijk in the late seventies. frank holvoet didn’t really know how to handle a guitar but that didn’t really matter: he gathered drummer rik masselis (see also the p.i.g.z.), peter coppens and local wild boy lucien callewaert: definitivos were portuguese cigarettes and also the name of the band.

bryan simpson, seines zeichens der mastermind der the whistles & the bells beschreibt das konzept von „modern plagues“ so: „ich stelle mir eine dinner-party vor, bei der ich einige meine lieblinge der zeitgeschichte einlade. sagen wir personen wie abe lincoln, john lennon, joan of arc und truman capote. das ganze findet samstag-abend auf coney island statt, soren kierkegaard und malcolm muggeridge essen hot dogs und zuckerwatte und diskutieren ihre ideen, - es wird immer lauter und wilder. die stimmung habe ich versucht mit diesem konzept-album klanglich einzufangen!“. musikalisch muss man sich auf eine entsprechende mixtur einstellen: indie-pop trifft auf banjo, heiterer funk auf rock, hier ein paar bläsersätze, da eine soul-sängerin. wild, inspiriert und frei von musikalischen barrieren.
die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

deep and moody is the theme on this hypnotic afterhours groove, jacking beats and snares, shuffled shakers, beautiful soulful chords set the mood, while a latin vocal splashes over a infectuous bumping bassline, as well as dark electro tinged keys that are catchy and subtle..
