Press Info:
The latest signing on Local SuicideâÂÂs imprint Iptamenos Discos is the Greek DJ / producer duo Boysâ Shorts. TheyâÂÂre delivering their new futuristic EP titled âÂÂNew EraâÂÂ, which includes remixes from Each Other, Lott & Local Suicide as well as Luca dellâÂÂOrso. The duo was founded by Thessaloniki-based artist Vangelis, who runs half of the music blog & label LAGASTA, as well as London-based artist Tareq. With two EPs under their belt (“Looking” and “Together”) they also delivered remixes for artists like Kasper Bjorke, Yuksek w/ Polo & Pan, Dharma, Kito Jempere ft. Wolfram to name a few, whilst their remix for Casey Spooner was included in the Red Hot + Free compilation.
âÂÂThe track was written during the lockdown period when everything looked so uncertain and scary ⦠We were listening to a lot of music from bands as âÂÂJapanâ and âÂÂVisageâÂÂ, talking about the âÂÂNew Romanticsâ era, thinking of what will come after this new reality weâÂÂre living in. And so âÂÂNew Eraâ came as a result of all the relationships that were reconsidered the last two years, to show the importance of human touch and what really actually matters.â – Boysâ Shorts
The track immediately gives off a sense of space exploration due to the sound of the melody being played. While the repetitive bass keeps the track driving as the pads elevate you to a higher level, the drums keep you grooving with delicate knocks and cowbells as the claps work with the cowbells to bring some more energy into the track. ThereâÂÂs a slicing, âÂÂswooshâ sound that fills the space of an open-hat which breaks the four bar loop subtly but perfectly. The track’s vocals have a wide sound to them that helps simulate the vastness of space.
The critically acclaimed New York-based duo Each Other, consists of Max Pask & Justin Strauss. Max is part of The Rapture & James FriedmanâÂÂs label Throne of Blood, while Justin was part of power-pop band Milk âÂÂnâ Cookies. Previously theyâÂÂve released their original productions and remixes on labels like SoulwaxâÂÂs DEEWEE, Freeride Millennium, Correspondant and more. Their version of âÂÂNew Eraâ brings a more energetic break-beat style tune thatâÂÂs more in your face than the original. The synth plucks feel as though theyâÂÂre jabbing you, trying to get you to move while building up tension. When the next synth comes in the track starts flowing, especially when the hats start grooving along with it. The vocals are clearer and more direct when compared to that of the original. The synth keys that come later resemble that of an organ but still have a futuristic sound to them.
Having released on labels such as Italo Moderni, Wrong Era, Bordello A Parigi & XXX, the Dutch born, Italo-wave-electro producer Luca dellâÂÂOrso brings a sense of hi nrg and italo disco to âÂÂNew EraâÂÂ. Between the sound of the synth and the kicks as well as the use of repetitive kicks, the track puts an awesome and nostalgic twist on Boysâ Shorts track.
Tel Aviv artist Lott, who has previously released on labels like Feines Tier, New Day Everyday, Karakter Records & Belly Dance Services joins up with Iptamenos Discos heads, Local Suicide to create the âÂÂIn The Trance Mixâ of âÂÂNew EraâÂÂ. The track has a jerking and rolling bass that moves through your body. The percussion and drums are delicate, leaving more room for the classic mind-bending synths that are typical of trance music. The vocals are also super spacey and copped up and add an awesome groove.
Boysâ Shorts and the contributors set out to create a project with the idea of providing a outer worldly experience, that is exactly what they did with each track having its own unique style. âÂÂNew Eraâ will be released digitally and on strictly-limited clear 12â Dubplate through Iptamenos Discos on February 25th, 2022.
