about

Newly launched Samo Records is setting out to explore the depths of the dancefloor by celebrating the darker, moodier facets of electronic music.

The NYC label’s first release comes from Pixelife (Sean Dack), a highly accomplished visual artist and veteran of NYC’s underground. In addition to releasing on such respected labels as Throne of Blood, Horn Wax, and Let’s Play House, he also makes up half of GHOST COP, a band known for its textured synths, iconic vocals, dissonant beats, and captivating live sets. Incorporating the same expert sonic-layering techniques he employs in his live analog sets, he’s created a dynamic EP that’s both intimate in feel and broad in scope.

“Omega Block” stomps out of the gate, all driving rhythms and throbbing basslines with an underlying element of frenetic foreboding — aptly reflecting these geopolitically tense times, while still remaining suitable for losing yourself on the dancefloor. The track gets the remix treatment by Bristol, U.K.-born, Berlin-based Antoni Maiovvi, a self-described “electrodisco horror mindmelt DJ/live performer/film composer” who heads up Giallo Disco Records with Vercetti Technicolor. Here, he trades his trademark horror elements for successions of staccato beats and a stripped-down sensibility that successfully translates to perfect late-night-at-a-warehouse vibes.

“Chimeras in the Matrix” soars with gorgeous dystopian melodies overlaying squelchy undertones, revealing labyrinthine layers and anxious crescendos before building to a full-on acid frenzy. Producer/remixer/DJ Tronik Youth is co-head of the prolific NEIN Records, which he founded five years ago with Ian Considine. He is also a member of Permanent Wave, a spooky, pitched-down, dark-wave-inspired disco project with French singer Justine. He brings a chuggy, bleepy edge to his take on “Chimeras in the Matrix” with bouncy rhythms, multiple breakdowns, and echoing robo-vocals, taking the original’s intensity down while upping the dancefloor quotient.

Stay tuned to big things to come from Samo Records in 2017…

Support from: Intergalactic Gary, Marvin & Guy, Zombies in Miami, Cosmo Vitelli, In Flagranti, Jacques Renault
