Amato - Le Desordre et La Nuit

Cititrax is proud to present a four song debut EP by The Hacker‘s new project called Amato. Influenced by early EBM, German techno and new wave, Michel Amato aka The Hacker began producing tracks under his new moniker Amato in 2014. The first one to be released, called Physique, came out in 2015 on the Cititrax Tracks Volume One EP and was a dancefloor success.

On this forthcoming EP, entitled “Le Desordre et La Nuit”, Amato integrates his love of the new wave to form four ebm tinged techno funk hits. Very dancefloor friendly, these tracks take pop elements reminiscent of Belgian body music and bring them to the present day. Amato shines as a producer here, as he has so many times before. It’s an absolute honor for us to release this debut project. Artwork is sourced from photographs taken in NYC in the 1980s with layout by Veronica Vasicka. The release is limited to 999 copies pressed on 160 gram silver vinyl, and accompanied by jackets printed on a matte heavyweight cardstock printed sleeve.

Cult Club - Play With Lies

Cult Club is a Berlin-based electro pop duo. Sally Jørgensen is from Canada and László Antal is from Serbia. Their similar diverse backgrounds in the creative arts and their love for analogue imagery and pop melodies inspired them to collaborate together.

Together their songs range from a dreamy, soft sound to harder driving pop songs. Sally’s vocals are layered in a harmony of different sounds and melodies over László’s fretless, bass driven music.

Their debut EP “Never Enough” was released on December 14th, 2015, on Domestica Records. It featured an extended version of their most popular dream-pop song “All the People” to contrast the more chilling cold song versions of “Never Enough”.

Their full-length album “Play With Lies” will be out on June 14th, 2016, on Domestica Records. The album continues to feature sad, dream-pop songs such as “Call My Name” while also containing some straight up pop tracks such as “Play With Lies” and “Talk to Me”.
