rsd 2016 itemn - must not be asold before 16.4.2016. j ohn frusciantes foregrow doesnt sound like any acid test record, or any record, thats come before it. after the unlikely alliance between the los angeles label and the iconoclastic venice, ca musician on trickfinger, all bets are off. this ones truly a passage through night. frusciante’s using elements of john carpenters eternal scores, the drum programming dna of jungle and footwork, and yes, a roland tb-303, all slowed down to a crawl. foregrow is a lurching, lysergic beauty which offers glimpses of his platinum pop instincts, but only behind the veil of true experimentalism.

mit seinem außergewöhnlichen debütalbum *crafted* beweist madato, furchtlos und über jedes mittelmaß erhaben, seine begabung, die eigenen musikalischen wurzeln mit neuen horizonten fließend zu verschmelzen. in *crafted* laufen die ausdrucksformen aber nicht einfach nur hand in hand nebenher: vielmehr jongliert madato spielend durch instrumente, maschinen und vocals mit elementen aus techno, disco und post-punk. das ergebnis: ein album wie aus einem guss, das bei aller reminiszenz den dancefloor nicht eine sekunde aus den augen verliert.

founded in september 1981 in orléans, and originally dedicated to a kind of ‘modern punk rock’, d.stop released a first 7’’ the following year. this impossible-to-find debut release is now reissued on vinyl for the first time. the three tracks of the original 7’’ are augmented with 4 tracks that are released on vinyl for the first time ever on this very nice translucent vinyl 10’’ plus download code. after this first 7”, sonny brailleur (vocals) + phil lethon (guitar/bass) + klod lelook (organ, synths, drum-machines) , inspired by french band metal urbain, stylistically transformed into a more ‘synth punk’ kind of outfit and released their first mini-album nouvelles du front in september 1983 that has been reissued by desire on vinyl last september. one year after, the band already ceased to exist – or actually changed the name to les visiteurs du soir – to turn back to the old name in 1985 by releasing a limited cassette. despite the very few releases by this gifted act, d.stop are considered to be one of the most interesting and under-rated cult acts in french cold wave.

the title track is a monstrous cut designed to get floors sweaty. with its futuristic synth smears, blasts of white noise and slick rubbery beats it is impossible to ignore. full of atmosphere and some ghoulish voices, it s a fine affair from this italian master. the malandra jr remix is even more tense, with industrial machine sounds zipping and fizzing about in a progressive groove, whilst martin patino deconstructs the whole thing and re-builds it as a jazzy minimal affair with sick chords, smears of colourful light and plenty of charisma. lastly, eddy romero & frink go for a dark, dubby, stripped back number that will please the real heads out there.

golpe de estado is the new project from berlin situationist/dilettante capablanca and swedish producer tobias palsson. having previously worked together on a couple of obscure releases for german label gomma, the pair make their items & things debut with > secreto< , a four-track ep featuring two originals and two remixes, recorded live and dubbed to analog tape.

troy pierce, marc houle & magda team up to present their first ever trio release on items & things, >down & out vol 1< - which takes its name from their newly created party series - events that are based around the dark & intimate, off the radar, and under the ground. troy pierce starts things off with >majikal<, introducing the eps dark magic with a climbing bassline, scattering, almost anxious percussion and buoyant sound effects panned throughout. ominous atmospheres and weighted textures produce a cinematic accompaniment to surveyors of uncharted terrain. building a continual tension-and-release cycle, the track is a lucid whirlwind of sonic imagery and trickery, balancing visceral sounds with the otherworldly. magda teams up with suade, a producer & friend from newcastle that we are sure to see more of, together they bring forth a true builder, a creeper, the type of track that reveals itself more with each layering sequence. a masterclass in dynamics, >fixation< is a dark groove thats haunted by a chilling vocal, wavering synth vibrato, unexpected melodies, and juxtaposes of funk. angular drums hit alongside swells of percussive echoes but, the focus of the track revolves around the bassline’s movement. as catchy as it is esoteric. marc houles >slowpe< ends the ep with a slightly slower pace, but in a disconcerting way: taking it down a few notches this one that transports the listener to the strangest dimension yet. filtered melodies start the tracks ascent, sounding like a trumpet thats been bent out of shape and played from the void. with dark textures compactly knit into a condensed wall of sound, a low-slung bassline trades places with eerie chords and sparse percussion

including boris ochs, george perry & peter latino remixes.

berlin imprint items & things reintroduced itself earlier this year with madatos epic ep speak of the she devil. now the labels trio of techno connoisseurs - marc houle, magda and troy pierce - entrust their imprint to italian up-and-comer danny benedettini. danny caught the production bug at an early age, and his taste for the old school can be heard in the throwback feel of tell me quietly. its a retro-tinged trip through modern dance floor sounds, with slickly executed beats and tight arrangements

the process of receiving and listening to demos is akin to the proverbial needle in a haystack - poorly labeled cd’s or mp3’s are handed out indiscriminately like flyers for strip clubs in times square (circa 1970). “i really think you are going to like this,” or “all nude girls,” and “dj ‘x’ played this at space,” or “24 hours live sex show…!!” but in the end, just like the harsh reality of a stripper in daylight, the demos fall well short of anything mildly interesting and certainly nothing you would bring home to mom… until madato… from the first group of tracks he sent it was clear that a nice guy from naples had sent us the needle we had been looking for. “naples may not be a place one would consider to be particularly inspiring, from its outside appearance, chaos, and plenty of junk on the streets - it takes a deeper gaze, beyond, and into madato’s dream world. madato is always looking at what’s beyond the waste. inside his dream box you might find laura palmer making out with ian curtis, charles bukowski writing a fairy tale, or perhaps john nash singing along to bauhaus songs…” file under: trippy disco inspired dance music, not defined by a genre but more of an attitude. post-punk undertones mixed with psychedelic sensibility

top notch hybrid rhythm and blues with a rock edge

ultraphatt old school house release , pumpin and percussive with hooky vocals from one anonimous local hero !!!!!!

detroit based multi instrumentalist jimmy edgar brings his unique electronic vision to items & things for the labels keenly anticipated fourth release. edgars versatility is well documented with influences ranging from jazz, funk and r&b through to chicago house and of course detroit techno. for this outing he puts his distinctive r&b tinged electronica to one side, laying down some timeless acid house grooves that pay homage to the founding fathers of the genre. the sublime techno soul of the title track funktion house kicks off the 4-track ep with sweet chord stabs and laid back laser sweeps dominating the intro. a gentle yet infectious background melody thatll pull bodies to the dancefloor like bees to honey completes the summertime vibe with each element effortlessly evolving as edgar applies subtle ring shifts and delays to the down tempo groove.

a wonderful song, a beautiful voice in 4 great versions on this record.
