Review: Named after a quote from French philosopher Jean Luc-Nancy, You Don't Make a World With Simple atoms is a two-part compilation assembled by Latido in honour of the label's first birthday. This first part, which like its partner collection features new music from the label's growing roster, largely offers a cosmic and psychedelic take on electronic disco. There's plenty to admire throughout, from the new beat influenced throb of Tronik Youth's 'A New Day' and the smooth, sun-kissed Balearic nu-disco of Monoxido, Tulioxi amd Daniel Monaco's 'Walking Home Mad', to the pleasingly warped, late '90s Orbital flex of Colbertizo & Durand's electro-flecked 'Two Indians in a Club', and the surging Italo-disco/druggy synth-pop fusion of 'No Escape' by Italoconnection.
Review: If big, dramatic cosmic/Italo vibes are what gets your floor moving, you'll find such in abundance on this EP from Granada-based Spanish label Latido Records. Deadly Weapons (Eliezer and AckerMan) serve up two originals: 'Roland Garros' is a dark, synth-tastic throbber topped with a spoken, Euro-style female vocal, while 'Makom Lerfua' operates in similar musical territory but with a more epic, drifty kinda feel. Theus Mago's rerub of the former then tones down the synths a little to give the track a more intimate vibe, while Javi Redondo treats the latter to a hefty dose of acid.
