Review: With this new compilation, 10 Track That Would Help You For Cooking But Would Clear The Dancefloor, French label I'm A Cliche break away from their more usual electro house flair, and step into the realm of the unknown, the surreal, and the deeply experimental. Ranging from post-rock to coldwave and post-punk, this compilation is all about texture and subtlety, something that can be heard in tunes like "Fathers & Sons" by Bot'Ox, or the sublimely percussive "Dead Dog Farm" by Runaway. Other stand-out moments include the fast-paced polyrhythms of "Sticky" by Dixlexsix, the slow and balearic remix of Cosmo Vitelli's "Delayer" by Quiet Village, the distorted pseudo noise journey that is "Dreams Like A Tale" by Red Axes. Excellent and fully tipped!
Review: Cosmo Vitelli's third album, 2022's 'Medhead', gets the remix treatment. There's no fancy concept at play here, just a killer collection of reworks that take the much-loved French producer's tracks in a variety of different directions. So we get, mind-mangling electrofunk (Vitelli's own 'Boogie' take on 'Down The Hatch'), creepy and dubbed-out dark wave (a fine Froid revision of 'Just Like His Dad'), ultra-slo-mo weirdness (Krikor's inspired, mind-mangling interpretation of '7 Foot Clown In My Bed'), sparse new-wave pop (Andre Rusu's mix of 'How Is It To Be You?'), a trip into hallucinatory, post-IDM dancefloor insanity (Dali Muru and the Polyphonic Swarm's shroom-powered take on 'Patient Zero') and much more besides.
Review: Parisian producer Cosmo Vitelli gets cosmic and Italo-y on this five-track EP packed full of experimental disco wonkiness. The synthy title track has echoes of leftfield early 80s synth-pop ? la Landscape, 'Tisja' (feat Tanja) is glacial and electrofied with a whispered French female vocal and 'The Shy Dictator' rocks Carpenter-esque analogue synths, while a brace of remixes of 'Un Episode Psychotique' from GOTT maintain the electro-horror vibe but push the drums towards a housier tempo, with (Continua) or without (Instrumentalis) an added male, German spoken vocal. The overall effect is like stepping into a twisted Halloween party in Berlin some time around 1983.
