the beacon crowns ashurst hill in dalton, lancashire, looming over the verdant english countryside nearly six hundred feet above sea level. this spartan brick monolith was erected in 1798 as a watch tower to warn of french invasion during the napoleonic war — & there it silently remains, keeping infinite vigil. it stands in tess roby’s mind. the beacon calls to her. “throughout my life i have felt the pull to return to it,” she says. “i’m beckoned by father’s roots & by the sullen landscape of fields leading to the coast.”

statt einer kollektion ungleicher kuenstler erscheint after dark 2 wie eine produktion >johnny jewel & friends present<..die den idib sound auf heutigen stand bringt, ohne dabei den energischen neon-charme einzubuessen, der weiterhin ein immens attraktiver modus dieses labels bleibt

italians do it betters most popular release is being repressed . .. glass candys electrifying b/e/a/t/b/o/x album. originally released in the late fall of 2007. features all the jams ... beatific ... candy castle ... etheric device ... life after sundown ... computer love ... rolling down the hills ... digital versicolor ... you get the idea. back to back italians do it better classics.

remastered double vinyl re-issue of this 2007 album by chromatics, including 5 never before released tracks. produced by johnny jewel, vocals by ruth radelet.

kill for love, chromatics first album since night drive, finally gives this loosely associated, prematurely decayed musical aesthetic its magnum opus and brilliantly transcends it.

hot off the presses. we just got these in last nite from portland. this is our first real peak at body work, glass candys much anticipated third album. johnny & ida have been destroying clubs with both of these tracks for almost two years now. forever pushing forward into new ground from where b/e/a/t/b/o/x & 2010s feeling without touching left off, they candy coated this slice of analog glamour & sprinkled it with some stardust on top. lazer driven melodies bounce off electro primitive drums that would make moe tucker proud. idas crazy like a monkey & happy like a new year as she sings a call & response to the crowd. >warm in the winter< continues to unfold for seven plus minutes of shimmering percussive synth. the proto boogie b side >beautiful object< is so grimey it makes us think of bbbb s production on the first madonna album. the rhythms keep turning while future & past collide. johnny gives us the usual dosage of heavy bass & crisp handclaps. written & recorded in the icey montreal winter. mixed for all seasons.
entire first pressing on delicious rasperry colored vinyl !

this 12 inch showcases the first original composition by tiedye, along with remixes from studios dan lissvik & a mountain of one. the dan lissvik version was the epic closer to our solid gold compilation last year. tiedye re-invented modern aor as we know it. sit back, relax, & enjoy the music.

we met fred ventura in 2006 over emails sent to italians do it better headquarters. he was one of the first people from europe to start writing the label prior to after darks release. it took us a few months to realize that this was fred ventura, the cult italo legend from milan. like a true gentleman, he had never bothered to mention it. since the early 1980s fred ventura has released numerous singles in europe & toured the world extensively as a solo artist. last year, johnny was in bologna on tour with desire & fred came out to the show to drink champagne & bring us some copies of the reissued tapes of fred’s early post punk group state of art. the lightbulb lit up & we asked him if he had any home recordings of his solo work. months later, he sent us 83 tracks of cassette recordings between 1982 & 1987. they had been sitting upstairs in a dusty box at his parents house in italy for the last 25 years. these tracks have only been heard by a handful of his closest friends. we were completely floored & honored! finding a beautiful treasure completely untouched & preserved is so rare. the songs are raw & honest written by a romantic with a love for an anthemic chorus & a drum machine running through his veins. think early minimal depeche mode with an italian heart. ornew order covering madonna produced moroder. yes, its that good. here we have the first official italians do it better release of these songs on a 4 song 12inch ep. this vinyl only release is a teaser for the >dont give up< 18 track lp out in a couple of months. so in the meantime, slip on those gucci loafers, rev up the alfa romeo and head down to the discotheque because life is too short

comes with free mp3 download codes... italians do it better head honcho mike simonetti got his start in the new york city underground house scene in the late 1980s. as a teenager he promoted parties at the legendary dance club mars. twenty years, countless edits, mixes & dj gigs around the world later, italians do it better is pleased to present mikes first slice of original music. >capricorn rising< is songs for the dance floor & the party after the after party.

after five years of experimenting with a string of different singers, chromatics introduced ruth radelet as the lead actress to star in their films in 2005. forever standing out from the crowd, chromatics imagined the soft rock focus of hall & oates stretched over a fleetwood mac beat. trading the dancefloor for gorgeous chords & melancholic strings. they lived where it was always late & neon lights glimmered across the wet streets. this record archives studio work between 2004 & 2006 leading up to the now infamous >night drive< album.

glass candy return with a brand new 12-inch single – italians first record of 2010. includes the cuts >feeling without touching< (video mixx and instrumental mix), >sugar & whitebread< (regular and instrumental versions), >covered in bugs< and >shine like gold & diamonds<. features full-color two-sided insert and lyric sheet and full-color sleeve

wicked & haunting 12inch, the latest in the italians do it better series. many will recognize from dixons >body language< mix cd, but now its released in its own right w/original, accapella, + >in the headlights< & their cover of bruce springsteenÆs >im on fire<. limited w/deluxe packaging.

sublime disco ep from italians do it betters own supergroup: johnny jewel of glass candy & chromatics, nat walker (chromatics) and vocalist megan louise. 2 mixes of the title track plus 2 mixes (instrumental and demo) of >i can dream about you<. all exclusive traxx. full picture sleeve.

the title track is a dreamy balearic disco number with perky female vocals (comes with a beatless alternate version). all out of order is a quirky throwback to eclectic 80s pop ballads, think laurie anderson on autotune (comes with a version sung in spanish)

a brooding, belligerent, open top, ocean drive, wind in your hair eighties disco theme. very 80s. a perfect storm of dark synths and disco beats... where every dance floor is a crime scene.

very limited pressing of 500 copies only. this is a spacial release. tiedye remix of the all girl indie group rubies. its an absolute balearic disco workout that is rather reminiscent of their fellow swedes studio...
