Episode #022 - Martin Duvall

Next guest for the Deathmetaldiscoclub podcast is Martin Duvall! Maybe better known as Martin C de Waal, Martin is one of the most prolific multi-disciplinary artists based in Amsterdam. Over the years he has produced an amazing body of work, which he exposes on international grounds. He likes to hold a mirror in front of it's viewers and society and has gained global praise for his confronting, visual work.
Beyond his art through video and photography, Martin is an important figure in the Amsterdam nightlife. Not only as a VJ and DJ, but also as a promoter. Martin is a very dedicated person when it comes to Italo Disco and has been pushing the Italo anthems on his audience throughout his infamous Disco Total and Italo Elite events (which he hosts with Tom Trago, Lupe and San Proper).
Sadly, Disco Total lost it's home base in Club Up earlier this year, but it grants Martin a whole lot of time to concentrate on his visual art. For now, we'd like to see this podcast as a hommage to it's phenomenal legacy.

As an artist, Martin is represented by Torch gallery at the Lauriergracht in Amsterdam and is exposing his current works over there until August 17th. We also want you to know that he has some fresh audio tracks that he is working on and was kind enough to premiere the Topless ft. Martin Duvall - Allnight track in this mix.

Tarjei Nygård - Hardkokt

The next single by Norwegian imprint Full Pupp is an EP by Tarjei Nygård, quite a new name for us and also for the label. But that's about to change when this single will hit the market next month. The title track has every potential to become another hit single for Full Pupp, while it's B-side  grants Tarjei a place to showcase his somewhat deeper stuff. Brilliant release.

Full Pupp's 39th single will hit the stores next month on the 19th of August. Vinyl only!

Episode #021 - De Dupe

Our next guest is Otto Kraanen, better known as De Dupe, also known as the mastermind behind Bordello A Parigi (BAP), a Dutch label that we are really, really fond of. Through BAP, Otto has released some very interesting Italo/Synth Pop. He's been running the label since 2011 and they've just released their tenth anniversary single, a release by Mark Du Mosch and Marlijn van de Kerkhof. Arguably it's best single yet and as a package, a charming addition to the already stunning visual style of Bordello.
As a DJ, De Dupe is known as one of the more applauded DJ's to be found along the Dutch westcoast in recent years. Whenever this guy pops up behind the decks, you're in for a treat. You never know what he's packed his bags with and we'd strongly advise you to visit one of his gigs anytime soon.. Whether it's Italo, funk, electro, house, synth pop or US Freestyle, this man sports an exquisite and exotic taste in music. A great addition to the newer generation of promising Dutch acts.
Bordello A Parigi will release it's next three singles in September 2013, one by Heinrich Dressel, one by Marc Fruttero ft. Polymnia and they also have a Italo reissue coming out in conjuction with the great Moustache Records. Keep your eyes on that.

As a DJ, De Dupe will be playing gigs along the westcoast this summer and will be doing a mini-tour through Europe in September. Info on Bordello A Parigi and dates for De Dupe sets can be found on the links below. Enjoy!!!

Episode #020 - Andrew Weatherall

This week's guest is Andrew Weatherall. A HUGE influence to all of us. Andrew has been in the business for over twenty years now and has been one of the leading figures in the electronic music scene. From acid to post punk, from techno to disco, this guy has seen it all. We're proud to have him on our show.
As a musician, producer and remixer Andrew has been famed for his work with The Sabres of Paradise and it's accompanying label. He was also the mastermind behind the Emissions Audio Output label but really caught the world's attention when he got signed to Warp Records with his Two Lone Swordsmen project, a project he did with Keith Tenniswood.
These days Andrew focuses on his newest project, The Asphodells, a project he does with his studio engineer Timothy J. Fairplay. They've just released an amazing debut album in the beginning of 2013. They've been remixed quite a few times now and we are happy to announce that they've got an remix album coming up on September 2nd.

For those who are in and around Amsterdam on July 26th, Andrew will be doing an all-nighter in De Verdieping @ Trouw Amsterdam, together with Sean Johnston under the A Love From Space moniker. Which we are really looking forward to. For tickets & event info go to: www.facebook.com/events/498330836902923/
In the meantime, enjoy his newest effort for deathmetaldiscoclub!!

Perseus Traxx - The Goddesses Of Inspiration

Newcastle's Flight Recorder has released it's sixth EP, a new single by Nigel Rogers' promising act Perseus Traxx. After FLR004 and FLR005, this conceptual 4-tracker continues to develop Flight Recorder's distinctive sound. This one sits somewhere between eerie electro and steady, pounding techno and it's a great addition to Nigel's amazing output. A2 is probably favourite.

Goddesses Of Inspiration was released on the 1st of July and is available worldwide on white vinyl. No digital, samples below!

Mild Peril - Alpha & Gamma Zone

Ali Renault's excellent Vivod label returns for its third release, this time from London-based synthmaster Chris Gilbert aka Mild Peril. Deep synthesiser action all the way on this one with sounds recalling the likes of Tangerine Dream and Jan Hammer, or even a classic lost Michael Mann film soundtrack score that could have been. That's not to say that the tracks are remotely retroistic. While wearing such classic influences on its sleeve the sound and production is straight from the future, and while both tracks are deep and dreamy affairs they pulsate and throb with a chugging dancefloor slo-mo groove that is undeniable.

Act quickly if you want to secure yourself a copy of this neon-soaked rain-beaten gem as copies are strictly limited! AVAILABLE NOW!
