Review: French electronic duo Kimshies, comprised of Peo Watson and Mika Frojman, make a striking debut on Roam Recordings with their EP, End of Love. Known for their fusion of dark, gritty tones, the duo navigates through haunting melodies and intense sonic textures with finesse and grace. The title track, featuring S//Rose, immerses listeners in a raw, visceral take down, while "Spiders in My Head," enriched by CLO's vocals, maintains the EP's dark allure. With remixes by Moderna and Modular Project adding fresh perspectives, End of Love goes the distance.

Review: Montessori makes a compelling return to front page with Ataraxia - a chunky, low slung offering for Roam Recordings. Its title track stands with its intricately crafted synthwork and neon drive time sensations, while "Rollero" introduces a psychedelic twist, incorporating enchanting vocals that seamlessly meld with the EP's robust and energetic vibe. The Mystery Affair remix elevates the tempo, delivering a dynamic rendition of the original number with captivating vocal effects swirling around with sonic atmosphere. A sultry Franz Scala remix adds some welcomed Italo vibes to "Rollero", infusing prominent snares, arpeggios, and immersive electronic elements.

Review: Golden Soul founder and Rare Wiri regular James Rod makes his bow on long-serving San Francisco stable Roam Recordings, bringing with him a pair of suitably psychedelic, analogue rich, EBM-influenced throb-jobs. 'Baila Con Satan' is an unflinchingly intoxicating affair, with trippy electronics, moody spoken word snippets, moody chords and notable nods to Nitzer Ebb rising above a thickset, arpeggio-driven bassline and unfussy machine drums, while 'Metatrone' is an even darker and more intense throb-job made even more mind-altering by the presence of squelchy, TB-303 style motifs and echoing industrial textures. Duncan Gray remixes both tracks, first re-casting 'Baila Con Satan' as a squelchy bassline-driven chunk of leftfield nu-disco melancholia, before re-imagining 'Metatrone' is an urgent, echoing acid jam.

Review: Roam Recordings' periodic compilation series returns after a year off in 2021. As with previous editions, main man Jason Peters has put together a fine selection of back catalogue gems, lesser-known remixes and obscurities from the vaults. It's a fine snapshot of the San Francisco-based imprint's uniquely psychedelic, cosmic and heavily electronic sound, with highlights including the clap-heavy, mind-mangling hypno-throb of Freudenthal and Jake The Rapper's '1982 (Darlyn Vlys remix)', Endrik Schroeder's Patrick Cowley-inspired revision of 'Brothers' by Back To The Wave, the acidic electro-disco breathlessness of Vongold's 'Pleasure Cinema' and Cardopusher's new beat-meets-EBM style revision of Tronik Youth's Fairlight-sporting 'Number Wang'.

Review: Over the last few years, Zakmina has quietly gone about building up an impressive catalogue, with contributions to releases from Futureboogie Recordings, Nein, Bordello a Pargigi and Correspondant [sic] only enhancing his reputation. Here the young Lithuanian producer returns to Roam Recordings with a predictably rock-solid EP. There are two Zakmina originals to choose from: the atmospheric, bleeping, occasionally intergalactic dark Italo-disco shimmer of 'Mondo' and the more muscular, star-fall electro-disco of 'Sunshine in the Rain'. REES remixes 'Mondo', opting to smother sparkling electronic melodies and bustling beats in razor-sharp TB-303 acid lines, while DC Salas re-frames 'Sushine In The Rain' as a revivalist Miami freestyle throb-job with added peak-time Italo muscularity.

Review: Mexico's Nora Cam AKA Vongold has chalked up releases on Hard Fist, Rotten City, Correspondant and Relish, among other labels, and now she comes to Roam Recordings with a belter of a club track that's serve up in a total of four mixes. In its Original form, 'Pleasure Cinema' fuses Italo and acid tropes (crisp electronic beats, squelching 303 bassline, Euro-sounding female vocal, etc) into a peaktime throbber that'd work on house and disco floors of many persuasions. The track then gets beefed up to the max by Fabrizio Mammarella on his prog-tinged refix, while a stripped-down, spacier pass from Marvin & Guy and an Instrumental complete the package.

Review: Roam Recordings regular Jason Peters - AKA the artist formerly known as JP Soul - has delivered scores of fine EPs over the last few years, offering up an off-kilter, heavily electronic take on cosmic disco that tends towards the trippy. 'Lost In Space', his latest single, continues in this vein, with Peters' layering vintage, new wave and Italo style synth stabs - ofen smothered in tape delay - over a chugging, sequenced bassline and unfussy machine drums. The Juan MacLean opt for a pulsating, mind-altering dark-Italo sound on their top-notch remix, before Prins Thomas steals the show with a spiralling, stretched out 'Diskomiks' that sees the Norwegian veteran reach for his usual mixture of live percussion, dub disco grooves and off-kilter disco instrumentation.

Review: Fresh from celebrating its 100th release, Jason Peters' Roam Recordings imprint welcomes back psychedelic nu-disco specialist Tronik Youth. 'Kutt-Outs' is a little bolder and sturdier than some of his releases, but that's no bad thing. In fact, with its blend of chugging, mind-mangling electronic bass, trippy motifs, acidic flourishes and locked-in beats, it could well be one of the strongest Tronik Youth tracks to date. It comes backed with a brilliant remix by Warehouse Preservation Society, too, who effortlessly join the dots between early morning acid house, mid-tempo electro and Bay Area dub disco. Elsewhere, 'Number Wang' is a bleeping electro-not-electro throb job, while Cardopusher's remix of the same track sounds a little like Nitzer Ebb jamming with early bleep techno combo Sweet Exorcist.

Review: Following Roam Recordings' recent compilation marking the label's 100th release, the long-serving imprint begins a new era via a first outing from sometime LE and Wildfire Recordings contributor RJ Maxwell. 'Motherboard' is a wonderfully sprightly and positive affair, with glistening lead lines, colourful nu-disco synths and galactic bleeps sparkling majestically above a thickset, nu-disco style synth bassline and unfussy house drums. It comes backed by two remixes - an Italo-disco inspired throb-job from AMES and a chugging, psychedelic, slap-bass sporting pitched-down take from Jon 2 - and a pair of versions of 'Activate': Maxwell's angular, sparse and acid-flecked original house mix, and a new wave influenced rework courtesy of label founder Jason Peters.

Review: Roam Recordings was set up by Jason 'JP Soul' Peters and Jeni 'Jeniluv' Erickson in 2001, and has since put out records by the likes of Demarkus Lewis, Rhythm Plate, Hesohi and Dino Lenny. For their 100th release/20th anniversary, though, they've avoided the obvious 'best of' route and instead serve up 21 brand new tracks coming from a mix of familiar names (Emperor Machine, DJ Rocca, Tronik Youth) and newcomers. The overall vibe leans towards cosmic and Italo disco, but that's a very broad-brush picture - there are tracks here that could, variously, be filed equally well under house, techno, electro, Balearica or prog. Psychedelic electronic disco at its best.

Review: A three-track, five-mix EP here from the San Francisco-based DJ/producer formerly known as JP Soul, coming on his own Roam Recordings label. 'Broken' kicks us off in cosmic disco-meets-coldwave mode, all doomy chug and glacial synths, before getting a beefed-up remix courtesy of Shubostar that could take it onto the progressive/melodic house floors. 'Trifecta', similarly, starts out as an archetypal Italo throbber before being gifted some extra low-end heft by Singapore's Jonathan Kusuma on his Bass Mix. The EP's then completed by 'Time Division', which leans a little further towards the techno side of the street.

Review: Parma shrooms brothers the Mushrooms Project make their way to Roam Recordings with four original tracks of sci-fi, spaghetti western funk and deep Balearics. Known for sessions on Leng, Rare Wiri and the like, Mushrooms Project turns up the psychedelic oddities on Hazara. Be they the desert sky sessions of the title-track to more experimental disco percussion jams in "Dirty Dune", the pair hold down something undeniably exotic. With acoustic trablisms next to space age synths coming through in "Pitfalls", get your deep and arpeggiated basslines, space pop soundscapes and minimal trance from "Liku".

Review: There's no shortage of dark, throbbing leftfield disco around right now. If such is your bag, then here's a two-track, four-mix EP you might wanna check for. Opener 'Paninari On Acid' blurs the lines between Italo, EBM/new beat and acid house, while Niv Ast's remix pushes the track more firmly into the 'acieeeed!' zone and is the pick to these ears. The EP's other original, 'Tenere', is an even moodier, midtempo affair - if you were soundtracking a brutal spy thriller set in early 80s Berlin, it'd be perfect - while a techno-Italo rerub from Fabrizio Mammarella completes the package.
