Review: The fourth instalment of Psychemagik's ongoing Undercover Lovers series - basically a vehicle for their on-point re-edits of various obscure gems and cult classics - continues in a similar vein to its predecessors, delivering two more tried-and-tested reworks. On the A-side the dusty-fingered duo serves up a rearranged take on a much-loved Italo-disco cover of Bowie classic 'Heroes', adding layers of dubby effects while flitting between elements of the original vocal and instrumental versions (including some deliciously stripped-back and stretched out percussion sections). Over on the flip, they rework a lesser-known boogie-era synth-pop number, giving equal airing to whispered spoken word sections, synth-driven instrumental passages, and memorable choruses.

Review: System Olympia has been back and digging in the archives for this superb new and limited album, the New Erotica Collection (Durante Edition). It features some of their past tunes that have been sold out in quick fashion because of limited runs and others that have actually never before been available on vinyl. As you will know, or as you will find out, these are hallucinogenic tunes with mixes of disco, new wave, 80s pop, instrumental and nu-disco influences and each of them will light up any dancefloor with plenty of provocative and erotic undertones - just look at the cover!

Cat: ATH 158. Rel: 27 Jul 23
Coldwave/Synth
Review: The story of this one revolves around San Diego native Anthony "Antone" Williams. He was one day alone in a studio, messing about with the gear and before he knew he it lay down the haunting rhythm that underpins the tune now presented here by the good folks at Athens of the North. It's a sinister, restless one that got released as a hugely limited 7" on Unity Records with otherworldly soul production and a pained vocal up top. Post punk soul, some call it, and that's a fitting descriptor. A remix appears on the flip but the allure of the original is hard to beat.

Escape (gatefold black & red split coloured vinyl 2xLP (indie exclusive))
Cat: IDIB 337X. Rel: 29 Feb 24
Coldwave/Synth
Review: Desire shares Escape, their new album written and recorded in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, California. Inspired by the ultra-vivid world of 1970s giallo films, they wrote the soundtrack of their dreams using their favourite musical instruments: Minikorg, Jupiter 8, 909, Mellotron, Simmons Rhythm Modules, String Machine, a D-50 & Fender Rhodes. Though the set of inspirations are half a century old, the actual sound of this 13 track EBM, Italo and synthpop monster is decidedly contemporary, preferring wompy, sidechainer kick-carriers and basses abuzz, while huge gated impacts collide with steamier intakes of breath and glassy Italo elements. The ineffably laid-back quality of synthwave and pop blends well with the noirer, gothic components and are nicely joined together via the giallo theme.

The Bones Of What You Believe (10th Anniversary Edition) (limited clear vinyl LP)
Cat: 556089 5. Rel: 19 Oct 23
Coldwave/Synth
Review: It's hard to believe that a full decade has passed since the debut LP from Glaswegian synth-pop trio Chvrches weaved its way onto a myriad of end-of-year lists while being praised as one of the best breakout albums of the 2010's. Combining John Carpenter-esque retro 80s synthwork with coldwave precision and vocalist Lauren Mayberry's lilting yet singular cadence and opaque lyrical vulnerability, The Bones Of What You Believe served as a highpoint of modern pop and alternative rock by drawing on nostalgia to craft a bevvy of refreshing material falling somewhere between an emo Kate Bush or Kraftwerk turned pop producers. Bolstered by their continuing progress over subsequent full-lengths and a legion of avid fans, the trio have rarely ceased to capitalise on the momentum set by their much adored debut, with singles such as 'Gun', 'Recover', and the anthemic 'The Mother We Share' still retained as live and festival essentials. If this isn't already in your collection, then this latest tenth anniversary edition leaves you no excuse.

Review: A fascinating new slice of neue Deutsche welle from the artist Eine Welt. The track romanticizes the traditional Middle Eastern dish, Knafeh, through the lens of post-punkish electronics, German rawism, and myriad layering and production. The fact that an artist would go to such great pains to record, master, press and distribute a song with such a niche subject matter truly shows the power of Turkish cuisine. Clearly, even in back the '80s, there was mutual cultural appreciation between the Germans and the Turkish.

Rock Rendez Vous: Musica Moderna Portuguesa 1985-1986 (LP + insert)
Cat: DE 307. Rel: 24 Jun 24
Coldwave/Synth
Review: Dark Entries looks to Portugal for this new and swinging collection of vintage Iberian synth, post-punk and wave. Rock Rendez Vous: Musica Moderna Portuguesa 1985-1986 is the sound of a legendary club which opened in 1980 and helped to usher in a new wave of sound for local emerging bands. They drew from national musical identity and fused it with contemporary international influences and came up with some of the prime indie tunes you hear here, from brooding post-punk 'Levante' from Jovem Guarda to more playful and Balearic-laced synth-pop stunners like D. W. Art's 'Mate'. This one is perfectly presented with a double-sided insert featuring lyrics and liner notes.

Review: The Advanced Cookbook Of Mr Selig And Kanzler Z was a short-lived experimental jazz act also known as Cookbook. They put out one EP and two albums, with this 12" being taken from the debut. It came in 1989 and German label the Zoo In You initially and has the vocals of Mr Selig on the A-side, and guitar by Wolfgang Bokelmann and words by Dieter Pougin on the flip. An original will cost you more than a night at the pub and even finding samples online can be hard. Rest assured it is future jazz that still sounds futuristic today.

A Tribute To Madonna: Presented By Italians Do It Better (blue vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: IDIB 177B. Rel: 04 Jul 24
Disco/Nu-Disco
Review: Italians Do It Better, executive-produced by Johnny Jewel, reimagines Madonna's iconic singles within the label's distinctive, neon-lit aesthetic. Originating from Madonna's 1986 'Papa Don't Preach' video, the compilation is an homage to Jewel's synth-driven curatorial vision. Featuring 19 artists, including label regulars like Joon, who delivers an intimate 'Papa Don't Preach,' and Jorja Chalmers, whose sultry 'Justify My Love' captivates, the album is a showcase of the label's talent. Belarusian post-punk trio Dlina Volny's rendition of 'Hollywood' and Los Angeles artist Glume's waltz version of 'Material Girl' highlight the album's eclecticism. The subtractive approach shines with Sally Shapiro's ethereal 'Holiday,' offering fresh nuances, while Mothermary's spiritual takes on 'Like a Virgin' and 'Like a Prayer' resonate deeply and Lou Rebecca's minimalist 'Burning Up' and Bark Bark Disco's exquisite 'Borderline' round out the collection. Italians Do It Better transforms Madonna's classics into dreamy, synth-driven gems, creating a cohesive yet varied compilation that reinvigorates familiar tunes with a unique, modern twist.

Review: We're all the Richer for having listened to this one. On 'Electrik Damage', the Roma-based producer focuses on the classic sound-waves of synthpop and electro, merging the two for a uniquely 8-bitty-itty journey in cyberspatial sound. As if bowling down the gradated green wormholes of cyberspace as might have been imagined in an 80s sci-fi TV-movie, opener 'Electrocute Me' pits pumpingly sidechained saws against soarer video-game melodies, to ecstatic effect; 'Lectrocardiograma' does similarly as much, but rather scans down to the body, envisaging a new form of electro-echoic heart scanning technology. Then there's the hilariously titled 'ElectroVISION at Fashion TV', which sonically imagines a totally posthuman catwalk, and 'Ritmo Electronico', which errs most bloopy to the chip-tune of tremolo'ing twizzles, brash beats and low robot mutterings-under-breath.

Review: Who doesn't love a picture disc? Sure, they might be a nostalgic hit of old school teenage record collecting joy but why not. This one from Laser Media is a Depeche Mode 7" featuring a pair of the moody miserablists' darker cuts. 'The Sweetest Condition' has snarling, dark vocals of noir beats and spangled guitar lines that make for emo-electronica par excellence. On the flip is the all too short 'It Doesn't Matter Two,' a song from the 1986 album Black Celebration that sounds like a live version here with crowds whoops coming next to the melancholic keys and pained, tortured vocals.

Review: Cetu Javu's reissue of 'Situations' pays homage to a classic synth-pop gem originally released in 1988. This release features an extended version of the titular track, expanding on its infectious melodies and nostalgic electronic beats. The Razormaid mix, skillfully edited by Joseph Watt, adds a fresh dimension with its sleek production and dynamic arrangements, making it a standout remix for fans and collectors alike. Side-2 treats listeners to Quien La Sabia,' a beloved track from their debut album, showcasing the band's enduring appeal among synth-pop enthusiasts. Overall, this reissue from ZYX Germany underscores Cetu Javu's timeless sound, blending disco influences with distinctive synth-pop aesthetics that continue to resonate decades later.

Review: Soft Crash electrifies dancefloors with their immersive orchestration as they craft uplifting sonic waves that synchronise with the unified heartbeat of their crowds. Their EP 'NRG' showcases the Berlin-based collaboration between Berghain resident Phase Fatale and French producer Pablo Bozzi. Combining mechanical precision with fantastical elements, they deliver Italo Body Music anthems that pulse with post-humanist energy. Fresh from their 2022 debut album, the EP blends Italo and synth-wave with wave-pop, acid house, and post-punk influences. With sanguine vocals from Kyiv-based musician Ready in LED, Soft Crash continues to carve their unique niche in dance music.

Jede Nacht Derselbe Traum (hand-numbered translucent green vinyl 12" limited to 200 copies)
Cat: EDGE 021G. Rel: 17 Oct 23
Coldwave/Synth
Review: The Outer Edge reckons that this first release on their label is one of "the rarest and simultaneously best-recorded independently released German new wave singles in history." Bold words, but probably not far wrong. 80s outfit Total wrote it as the first and title single for an album deal they signed. It's a killer cut with hints of 'The Message''s hip-hop rhythm and alluring female vocals over a lush bassline from the Jupiter 8 keyboard and DMX drum machine funk driving it along at such an inviting mid-tempo. The withering cosmic keys add extra spacey goodness and here it comes with a couple of alternative mixes, though the OG is really the one.

Review: The arrival of Il Quadro di Troisi could not have been more ironic. Anything but new faces on the music scene, the Italian electronic partnership of Eva Geist and Donato Dozzy debuted as the reality of living in a pandemic really began to hit home - November 2020. A month that usually calls for their brand of dark, Ital-disco-cold-synth stuff was void of the situations you'd want to hear it in. No parties, no clubs, no concerts - not even an opportunity to stick it on when getting ready to do something. Nevertheless, we've more than made up for it now, and having grown incredibly close betwixt that waking nightmare and today's chaos, the arrival of a new LP is an enticing prospect. As the notes explain, "everything changes, all things evolve, nothing stays the same... La Commedia marks the band's embrace of a more traditional song form, shaped by a very personal and distinctive musical style. The distinguishing elements of Il Quadro di Troisi's music meld into a unique mix that is both seductive and eerie, elegant and earthy, contemporary and timeless."

Review: Avant! enlist the services of roster-shifting Italo disco project Male Tears to envisage the 'Paradisco', a clever portmanteau that invites us into further speculate on the term as a thought experiment. Indeed, a disco thrown in paradise is the obvious imago; less obvious is the observation of a very real zeigeist; that all discotheques today occur in a sort of para-situation, in a space that is a cut above normalcy, thrown in discrete fantasy spaces. Male Tears know this all too well, with such escapist flights of fancy as 'Sex On Drugs', 'Regret 4 Nothing' and 'He Wants Everything' eliciting surreal extremes of emotion, with their reverb-laden voxsynth patches, insouciant masc-femme vocal switches, and longing hooks reminiscent of Talk Talk or Liquid Sky.

Review: .It's pretty much impossible not to fall in love with Desire, no matter where you arrive in their discography. Formed by Johnny 'Chromatics and Glass Candy' Jewel and vocalist Megan Louise, and formerly synth-drum maestro Nat Walker, the group debuted on Jewel's now-legendary Italians Do It Better in 2009, and their first record, II was heralded as one of the decade's finest. More than ten years later, Escape reflected how things had developed during the years betwixt. Still saturated in a kind of borrowed nostalgia, yet focused firmly on crafting innovative arrangements, few outfits can simultaneously sound so polished and yet born to play in the reddish glows of darkened rooms in grimy DIY spaces. As unique today as the record was when it landed, and the outfit were when they initially emerged.

Review: Desire once again demonstrate their prowess in the field of coldwave synth escapism with this new long player for Italians Do It Better. As soon as 'Black Latex' kicks into gear you know you're in for a red-lit thrill ride that captures all the seduction and mystery of nocturnal body music played the old-skool way. The kit list features such staples as the Jupiter 8, D-50 and Mellotron, while a revolving cast of ghostly vocals impart their message in English, French and Korean. This multi-lingual vibe only serves to take us further away from familiar territory into the displaced surrealism of the sound world Desire like to call home.
