Purveyor of all things nice, sugar and spice, Boite Music is a constant source of inspiration for the disco tripper and E-dancer. Embracing all manner of obscure synth, chugging Balearic and power disco, it’s marquee artists are found in Ainz, Ivan Fabra and Manuela Costela next to the odd Rayko and Alex Aguyao featurette too. Topped in the charts by Pete Herbet, Fran Deeper and Sauco furthermore, Boite Music prides itself on delivering a reliable, steady stream of new wave dance music for no matter the discotheque.
Review: Keeping up with appearances Boite Music introduces a new VA projecting a sound that takes in slow-mo acid, electro and proto-techno sounds by Mexico's Alex Aguayo's next to the atmospheric, percussive and rhythm heavy "Sumo" by Alberto Melloni. Manuel Costela looks to the stars and New York for inspiration in the Nord-electronics of his track "Cosmos", with a dusty, beatdown and funkfied highlight coming out of Daniel Monaco & Ricardo Ruben post-punk, new wave session, "Italorama". Prepare for landing.
Review: Boite Music once again with some '80s inspired sounds coming out of the Picklejam factory! With three solid numbers to draw upon here, "Therapy" looks to the cowbell and a synth section good enough for any New York city montage, with "Social Intercourse" serving up a cooler slice of breakin '80s new wave, instrumental synth. With a touch of Italo adding to the slo-mo flair of "Belmont" this Picklejam Therapy EP is something like Beverly Hills Cop meeting the closing credits of Top Gun, and a little bit of Baywatch thrown in.
Review: The '80s are back in spades thanks to Boite Music and the quad of artists that make up this various artist EP. Sweeping that decade's genres with the industrial and poppy tones of AINZ's "Rocking With Loles", Ruben Coslada looks to contemporary krautrock and italo disco influences in "Bit Dry" while Alberto Melloni's "Master Of Origami" goes cruisin' USA backed by some self help and relationship advice from the venerable indian philosopher Krishnamurti. For the coldwave and and rock heads out there, it's all about Alex Arcocha's "Forbidden". Hey teacher, leave those kids alone!
Review: Release #11 here from Boite Music, a sub-label of Fran Deeper's Spa In Disco that was launched late last year and specialises in slightly darker, more leftfield sounds influenced by indie-dance, Italo, synth-wave and Balearica. Italo/cosmic disco lovers will lap up the contributions from Fausto and AINZ, while Ric Piccolo's 'Tus Secretos' sits somewhere between Nang-style nu-disco, progressive house and 80s synth-pop. The pick for this reviewer, though, is Fred Berthet & Berry's 'Hedonist', which has a slightly more upbeat, house-y feel than the rest of the EP despite operating in very similar musical territory.
Review: Boite Music is the baby brother of Fran Deeper's Spa In Disco stable, specialising in "synth, chugging Balearic and power disco". If you've yet to dip into the label's catalogue - or simply just can't get enough of it - then this nine-track compilation is well worth a listen. It begins with a throbbing and pulsating slab of exotic, Italo-tinged nu-disco (Cobertizo's 'Inana') and ends with the mind-mangling dark-Italo chug of Manuel Costela's synth-heavy 'Girls of the Night'; in between, you'll find a variety of trippy, heavily electronic treats including such highlights as the Bobby Orlando-on-sleeping pills shuffle of 'Glide' by Saturno 5, the occidental disco exoticism of Jason Core's 'Istanbul', and the atmospheric, delay-laden vocal nu-disco pulse of Rayko's 'Solstice'.
Review: Mexican artist La Guardia De La Luz continues to notch up releases on much-loved labels, with this outing on Boite Music following well-regarded EPs for Rare Wiri, Hell Yeah and Paper Recordings. The headline attraction is undoubtedly title track 'Teleport', a near ten-minute slab of ear-pleasing aural colour that adds jaunty organ stabs, intergalactic ambient chords, deep space melodies and swirling electronics to a head-nodding, hip-hop style downtempo beat. The producer's interest in the star-gazing end of ambient and Balearica continues on '3D25D (The Prophet-Earth's Bifurication)', while 'Antennae' is a hypnotic, locked-in chugger rich in spacey electronic. On 'Buen Viaje' the Mexican cannily blurs the boundaries between bleeping deep house and shuffling Balearic nu-disco, hefore 'Gamma/Ghost Heart' gently brings us back down to earth via gaseous chords, delay-laden melodies and enveloping ambient textures.
Review: Despite working under an Italian name - 'altoparlante' is Italian for 'loudspeaker' - Altoparlante actually hails from Mexico City. Here, after several releases on Spa In Disco, he comes to recently launched sub-label Boite Music, which was set up to explore "the dark side of different kinds of electronic music". 'Te Vo A Llevar' opens with mournful trumpet and a nagging electronic disco beat (both of which play throughout) before introducing the very 80s-sounding sing-song male vocal, sung in Spanish, and is likely to prove most popular with those who like to pepper their club sets with global music influences.
Review: Boite Music squeeze a last one in for 2020 with a various artist EP taking in New York style new wave inspirations in AINZ's "The Saviour" next to the funkadelic industrial new disco hits of Manuel Costela's good times "Keep Me Burnin'". Lafrench Toast sends in a '70s inspired disco number of rich continental flair, allowing Sauco to cover a different kind landscape with a mesamptopian tipped "Nights Over Lebanon". Sortie, Ausgang, Sunrise at the Exit - you got there!
Review: Boite Music up once again with a new selection of tracks featuring some cosmic funk and heavy beat down percussion disco from Molinar - next to Rayko's psychedelic, electro, P-funk and industrial banger, "Mezcal Punch". Spain's Ivan Fabra - known for records on Internasjonal and Codek - adds a touch of instrumental house to this EP via "Evolving Pads" with MI.RO getting a little post-punk, funk and dubby in "The Hero Is You". All board.
Review: Pumping as always Boite Music introduces the spiralling and EBM-driven sounds of Manuver! With a touch of Italo, goth and exotica added to the mix, Peaces finds its sound through middle eatsern motifs, primitive electronics and electro melodies while still holding down something that's as disco as it is post punk. Mysterious dancer.
Review: Boite Music continues on its journey into the deepest recesses of left field dance music with this fine split release. Kabinett's "Shake" is led by an angular rhythm and features jagged guitar lines fused with muffled vocal snippets, sounding similar to DFA's back catalogue. On "Ice Breaker", Alex Aguayo explores a more electronic approach, and brings hollowed out drums and dramatic, sweeping strings to the fore, while Jason Core's "Pentimento" follows a similar path, as a pulsating bass is fused with epic hooks. In contrast to the overall theme of the release, Ivan Frabra's "Tokyo Beat" focuses on lighter disco influences with a throbbing bass married to light synths.
Review: Given a debut proper on Boite Music following a series of cuts spread across a selection of various artist releases, it sees the Spanish producer deliver three muscular, musical and disco-powered electronic burners that arguably make up the label's strongest release to date. Leading with something melodic and trancey (with the slightest touches of baerlic post-punk) in its lead cut, Fabra's sounds burst through the speakers all the more in "Hey! Found Da". With a spectacular slice of star-sailing synth music rounding out a trio of hugely explosive dance tracks, there's no denying the quality of Fabra's studio and output here. Rider of the storm!
