Iptamenos Discotek Vol. 2

Founded in 2021 by Berlin-based duo Local Suicide, Iptamenos Discos has steadily evolved from a passion project into a prominent platform for cutting-edge electronic music, championing leftfield dance sounds while remaining rooted in DIY spirit and cosmic aesthetics. The label’s output spans Indie Dance, Dark Disco, EBM, Electroclash, Synth Wave, and Italo-tinged club music, serving as a home for a growing international community of genre-defying artists. Over the past four years, Iptamenos Discos has released acclaimed music from artists such as Dina Summer, Boys’ Shorts, Kalipo, Wiener Planquadrat, Curses, Psycho Weazel, Skelesys, Alexandra Feusi and many more.

Titled after the label’s own event series, Iptamenos Discotek Vol. 2 continues the tradition of its predecessor with two distinct volumes: the first composed of fifteen original tracks, and the second a curated collection of remixes by some of the most respected names in the scene. Volume 1 features standout contributions from Local Suicide, Psycho Weazel, Boys’ Shorts, Dina Summer, Kalipo, T.Raumhouse, Oh!, Jëan Fixx, Wiener Planquadrat, Alexandra Feusi, and others. Volume 2 showcases reinterpretations by a selection of renowned producers including DJ Hell, Marvin & Guy, Whitesquare, Gabe Gurnsey, Damon Jee, The Populists, Arnaud Rebotini, Andre VII, Karassimeon, and more.

Propter Hoc - Ulysses Returning Home EP

This EP and its title track take their name from ‘Enemy of the Sun’ by Palestinian poet Samih al-Qasim, first published in 1970. The fact that it is perhaps even more relevant today makes it easy to be despondent, but reading poets like al-Qasim and June Jordan can at least offer some moral clarity and a direction of travel.

In Andrei Tarkovsky’s ‘Nostalghia,’ the character Domenico is trying to carry a lit candle across the length of a mineral pool without the wind blowing it out, believing that if he can make it, the world will be saved. The task seems almost impossible, but sometimes persistence is the only available option.

Misere

The debut 7 track mini LP from Berlin’s Misere is a new jewel in the modern post punk crown. Sit back, relax and let the darkness engulf you with their primitive and sparse sound.

Standout Prickelnd’ starts with the pounding floor tom and snare and slightly flanged bass before the guitar kicks in and the song takes twists and turns. It’s like a minimal sounding Xmal Deutschland and Blood and Roses with a vocalist that sings with a deadpan delivery. Another standout ‘Dracula’ has the sound and spirit of the first Kleenex single down to a tea, but adds a hint of classic early 80’s goth. Final track ‘Abrieb’ sounds like it could fall apart at any moment, in all it’s glorious chaos.

It’s the sound of what UK Decay would have sounded like, if they were women. A superb release that shows the sound of Berlin in 2025. (Sean Forbes, Rough Trade)
