Seja Records: Venin Carmin ‎– Constant Depression

Venin Carmin ‎– Constant Depression

After their acclaimed debut with “Glam Is Gone”, Venin Carmin releases her second album “Constant Depression”. This album is again full of catchy tunes. Sometimes light-footed, sometimes razor-sharp. France’s most extroverted post-punk / coldwave band is not a world improver. Situations are perceived from a distance, but the interpretation ensures that it all becomes very personal in the end. Many listeners will recognize themselves in the songs while dancing to the music.

Pinkman: Dollkraut – Ghoulia

Dollkraut - Ghoulia

The term ‘cruelty’ is so limiting according to our cultural expectations of it, an act may give perceived ‘good’ to the perpetrator and ‘bad’ to the victim. It may give good in the long run and bad in the short run or vice versa. The unifying factor to all forms of cruelty is GHOULIA.

Tonn Recordings: Crystalline Stricture – Nouveau Neon

Crystalline Stricture - Nouveau Neon

With its infectious bass and poignant synth lines, interwoven with themes around the complexity of modern day living in an often impersonal world, Crystalline Stricture’s pure analogue sound is beautifully constructed and played from the heart.

Electronic Emergencies: Electronic Emergencies selected by I​-​Robots

Electronic Emergencies selected by I​-​Robots

Early 2020, while the Covid-19 crisis was taking over the world, I-Robots was introduced to Electronic Emergencies. Calling it a magical parallel world, I-Robots immediately fell in love with the retro electro and disco noir feel of the label from Rotterdam. It was a nice surprise to discover that the guys of Electronic Emergencies have been fans of I-Robots since the early days.
I-Robots and Electronic Emergencies have found each other in their eclectic taste in electronic music. While their friendship evolved, they started discussing ideas on how to collaborate.
As a first step in this collaboration, I-Robots has curated this digital compilation of 14 of his favourite Electronic Emergencies tracks. These reflect the deep melodic eighties atmosphere of the label and the elaborate and sophisticated taste of I-Robots.

In addition, I-Robots will remix/re-edit/rework 6 of these tracks. ‘I-Robots does Electronic Emergencies’ will be released as a limited edition 12″ on vinyl and digitally on Electronic Emergencies in early 2021.
