italian legend francesco farfa debuts on memento with “synchronicity 13”, with remix honours and duties left to m.r.e.u.x. and the analogue cops. farfa s long-lasting original track is a dancefloor skyrocket designed with skilful craftmanship. the humonguos drums and the driving bass line stockpile the explosive potential of a synthetic flock of sound, eventually becoming unwordly bloops pierced by evocative strings. the analogue cops rework the evocative potential of the original with a raw jacking grab in their “dance of the condor remix”, anchoring a biting kick drum and an highly corrosive acid bass. finally, m.r.e.u.x delivers his “green trip mix”, a very effective minimalistic reinterpretation, built on pounding rhythms and hypnotic sequences.

memento s steadfast head-honcho idirss d is back on his own label with -shams-, a maxi-single with two cuts of pure sonic bliss, finely embellished with soul and dedication for his personal d.i.b series. “shams” is an overwhelming dancefloor tune that expands on a flangered sequence, crackling arpeggios, an uplifting galactic pad, shredded male hooks and finally an esoteric slice of a female lyric. “piramide” is a fast technotic ride over an hypnotic tribal chant. a fat saturated bass drum and crispy claps open the way to an highly resonant synthetic lead that spins around itself over and over again, submerging and resurfacing with furious snares and rapid hi-hats. the two sides of the record entirely disclose idriss sharpened club sense and his superb taste for graceful arrangements.

vinyl only ... memento is proud to announce a brand new maxi-single of the extraordinary lithuanian producer mario basanov, better known as ten walls. with this moniker, marijus adomaitis has been releasing a bunch of deep house gems, and has remixed artists such as robert owens and hercules & love affair -swan- begins with a smoky dramatic introduction, that in a rapid glance become a obscure minimalistic dancefloor killer with a grueling bass line and unremitting hi-hats. finally taking off with a gust of monochromatic sequences and a whirl of dampings. in -lake-, after a dense windy evocative prelude, metallic percussion leave the footprint to the headway of a stomping kick drum and a mesmerizing bass line. sedately flowing synthetic notes, filtered bleeps and rapid beads lead the track to a grandiose finale in which whiffle and wafts become an ubiquitous polyphonic pad.

queen (extended)- is ten walls s first release for memento records. this 8 tracks album on double vinyl is a vivid depiction of the lithuanian artist top-notch production skills, his wise use of subtle melodies and harmonic progressions, as well as his pointed dancefloor instinct.

memento records is proud to announce the licensing of -brain freeze-, originally produced by carl craig as tres demented and released on his legendary planet-e in 2006. for this exclusive re-issue on memento, carl s original stems have been remixed and rearranged by luciano. his additional production has tuned up -brain freeze- into an even sharpened peak-time weapon, rich of intense sequenced synthesisers and thrilling breaks rotating around a fistful of crushing cuts of the original voice hooks. the original mix is a memorable dark, relentless, acidic track pervaded by the wild shouts that have defined the tres demented project, a never ending ascension of attracting percussions and funky bites, running now on the wide grooves of the whole vinyl side.

lucretio s first solo release on memento, the -system pressure e.p.- is a piece of carefully handcrafted nightclub music. the late-hours anthem -addict to the dancefloor- combines the early 90s heart-felt grooves with the state of the art of contemporary electronic production. -2bpad1- is a relentless ride of voltage controlled oscillators and hexadecimal quirks over hefty bare drums processed with a juicy analogue filter. finally -love wont leave- bring back together house and techno, melting their rhythm and blues essence into an absolute peak-time conjunction.

memento records honcho idriss d is back on his own dib sublabel with * khomsa* a 3 tracks banger with a steady pace and a fresh sound, blending together house chords and rhythms with techno bleeps and structures. “khomsa” is a peak time dance floor anthem focused slowly built up by shuffled grooves and bouncing synthesised drums. “watching my self” is darker, faster and relentless, while “stability” is a fine crafted esoteric percussive trave into outer space

marieu is the otaku member of the analogue cops and restoration records -the drum island- e.p., his debut e.p. on memento is an compelling mix of three dancefloor-rollers. in full compliance with his trademark style, characteristic of the releases on his own label enlightened wax and on hypercolour, marieu artfully blends militaristic rhytms and heavy basslines with delightful funk and sideral atmospheres.

eduardo de la calle brings back to memento his trademark analogue sounds and musical experimentations with the golden archives 1 ep. two tracks that once again define the spanish mavericks personal hybrid of detroit techno and european electronica, veering into psychedelic territory and progressive rhythms, and continuing to explore the outer limits of the underground scene. * missing you (edit)*s chants and deep soulful atmospherics build up with emotional piano melodies, while * quasicalligraphic*s mechanical stabs and ghostly synths are accompanied by spectral percussions and melancholic chords.

mirko takes his vision to the next level, producing two tracks that defy any convention in todays often monotonous and stagnating music market: * undo* minimalistic intro leads on to a bunch of spooky vocals looped throughout the whole piece, squelchy synth melodies and percussive stabs all around, while * solaris* atmospheric, bright and ethereal pads make for a more than 12 minutes long trip of blissed out magic.

after more than 10 years in the game and a string of successful eps to his name, idriss d releases his first proper album on his own memento records. at first conceived as a succession of singles for his “dib 00” series (the first two being constantine and alger), the project then became more of a collection of dance floor tracks influenced by what he likes to play in his dj sets.

after remixing idriss d’s “alger”, eduardo de la calle returns to memento records with a 2 tracker. the spanish vinyl maestro, analog solutions label owner and beatz documentary maker delivers 2 majestic cuts of deep techno at its best, inspired by the early ricardo villalobos music released on kanzleramt or playhouse some 15 years ago. following the same ideas of building and de-constructing sound patterns made up of pure minimal elements, eduardo here tries to be as simple as he can: direct and repetitive, back and forth non stop compositions that take on a life of their own as they expand and contract. the ep was made in a week of intense and mesmerizing studio work. * die einführung* is a 10 minute number where korg poly 61 arpeggios and spellbinding melodies draw the listener down a psychedelic hole of frequency shiftings and lysergic percussions. * sonst werden* is built around hazy chords and ghostly vocal snippets soaked in a feedback of tape delay, sinister ambient sounds vibrating in the background.

the original opens with a field recording intro followed shortly after by heavy bass shots and a pulsating kick drum. snare patterns and an underwater synth melody hit the speakers with an abstract touch, while halfway through the pace changes with a new bass coming in. an experimental and brave track, it reflects idriss djing style and his long sets, going into different mental spaces, a wavelike combination of beats and up&down rhythms. eduardo de la calle s trademark analog sounds fill his tribute remix with acid keyboards, rim shot grooves, industrial noises and metallic vibes, swinging with a rolling bass line and bringing the original percussions to the fore.

after his highly acclaimed sunset in kreuzberg ep, dib001 shifts gears and goes straight into techno mode: constantine is a steady number, its acid bass line slugging around a dark lfo pulse and punching snares. piano chords slow down the pace here and there, adding a dreamy touch to the mood. on remix duties, idriss drafts in gaetano parisio, the godfather of the italian techno scene: his track has a more percussive feel, with a classy swinging rhythm that takes over the original groove.

after their highly anticipated all cats are blue lp on memento, blue mondays release a sampler featuring the title track itself plus the exclusive i shine.

lino pugliese (aka linuz) is widely regarded by his fans as one of the truest purveyors of the underground sound in italy. his previous releases on memento, db artists musique and bla bla proved him as an elegant producer of sophisticated deep and tech house

niros (a.k.a. niro perrone) unconventional approach to production is reflected in this stunning 3 tracker for idriss d and fabrizio maurizis unique memento. taking inspiration from every noise surrounding him, the immensely talented italian artist and unclear records

idriss d and fabrizio maurizi welcome back to their label francesco bergomi (a.k.a. f.bergomi) and rush. as eclectic as ever, the iconic memento records takes its music catalog one step further with this split ep, featuring 4 off-the-wall tracks that stand out as some of the most uncompromising ever released on its roster.

this ep on memento records sees alfonso leon take his production skills to the next level. vinyl compresors soulful melodies and tribal percussions are matched by a deliciously funky and luscious bass line, until acid synth stabs open the way to a low-pitched, creepy, almost manic dark vocal that crawls along the groove.
fabrizio maurizis unique taste resonates hugely in his remix: a computerised, robotic low frequency bounce underpins a loopy rework of the dreary vocal, bringing its more rhythmical and human elements to the fore, marrying them to the relentless beat. outstanding works, both tracks.

memento and french producer/dj okain are by all means a perfect match: the parisian artist is well known for his refusal to conform to mainstream club trends and for his personal and eclectic take on contemporary house and techno, while the italian label run by idriss d caters to the needs of the most sophisticated and well-read electronic music fans. both stand out as true purveyors of unique styles and great taste, and this release is no exception.

acirnes musical background is rooted in her previous career as a successful vj: the world of visual arts exposed her to endless experimental sounds which shaped her vision and love for production.

label boss idriss d makes his comeback on memento with sunset in kreuzberg, a vicious and sexy track that captures the magic and the passion of his dj sets and the energy he shares with his faithful crowds all over the world. after releasing cross my mind to enthusiastic reviews - it was charted
