WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #47

 A few weeks back, we were lucky enough to share the booth with the always excellent Neud Photo. Robbie hopped on the train and made it by the skin of his teeth to Luv Bar where the pair served some a cocktail of electro, new beat and even some Italo.

It’s been a month of loadsa music

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #47 mayo

  Afew weeks back, we were lucky enough to share the booth with the always excellent Neud Photo. Robbie hopped on the train and made it by the skin of his teeth to Luv Bar where the pair served some a cocktail of electro, new beat and even some Italo. In this month’s show we’ve some tracks that were in the bag for Barcelona, but time said otherwise. Gems from Aleksi Perälä, Jared Wilson, Featherstone and Obsolete Music Technology are just a handful them. Thanks to both Nico and Luv Bar for making it happen.

Rendezvous abound in this episode, meetings with ArD2 in Granada (alongside fights with record store owners, dancing in The Hague at the IFM festival with a great gang, all of these interactions are charted through tracks by Heinrich Mueller, Tandy Ogmo, and Body Power.

A veritable glut of new music is included in this month’s show, tracks from far and wide. Homegrown talents features prominently. 22 Recordings are here with three tracks of new beat scented chicanery and Valencia’s Fill-Ex and Soil with the haunting Grendel version of Beastial Mouth’s “In Ruins.” Pearls of The Netherlands’ house and techno scene of the 90s are dusted down, Anacalypto Records doing the heavy lifting with a fantastic compilation with two tracks selected. Enjoy!

The holiday season is upon us. The cold has arrived on Madrid’s city streets and to combat it WE FORFEIT have gathered together two hours of sizzling electronics to warm the cockles.

To combat the heat, we’ve dug into the electro shelves of The Netherlands with Klakson, Frustrated Funk and Shipwrec. The party is in full swing with the likes of Daniel Monaco leading a path for the outrageous shenanigans of Danny Boy and the Serious Party Gods.

Enjoy it for as long as you can.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #45 — Mixtape: Featherstone

 Through our shows, interviews and mixes, we’ve tried to present electronics with a difference, electronics that make a difference. To the snowy peaks of Canada with Solvent, to the dusty plains of Almería with Mynationshit, our objective is giving a greater audience to what is already great. This month is no exception.

Electronics that make a difference

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #45 – Mixtape – Featherstone

  

Here at WE FORFEIT, we are always on the hunt. Discounted bread, free wine, even the odd compliment, all are fair game and very much appreciated. When it comes to music, a certain furrowed brow of seriousness is employed. Through our shows, interviews and mixes, we’ve tried to present electronics with a difference, electronics that make a difference. To the snowy peaks of Canada with Solvent, to the dusty plains of Almería with Mynationshit, our objective is giving a greater audience to what is already great. This month is no exception.

Travelling even further, the furthest in fact, this month is dedicated to Featherstone. This Australian artist, a talent that has graced labels like Gated Recordings, Nebulae and his own Ernest’s Way. He has a full hour long mix that collects acid, braindance, electro and techno while giving you some of his own unreleased works. Fantastic stuff and thanks Ben.

Robbie is on warm-up and has some freshly baked releases alongside some golden classics. You’ll have tracks from labels like 030303, D.Ko Records and Partout with musicians like Böhm, Reedale Rise and the incredible Ismistik featuring.

Thanks for listening and thanks again to Ben!

 Our celebration, a devil-may-care romp in the aural delights of the machines, opens with some recent beauts from Gated before dipping into acid, breakbeat, electro and techno with records from Amenthia, Betonkust, Gated Recordings, Klasse Wrecks and heaps more.

The cold clinical stare of the lost and left behind

The cruel Summer heat of Madrid is receding. The gentle breeze of Autumn brings with it a refreshing sense of possibility, the dappled light shimmering with a childlike optimism. Here, at WE FORFEIT, we put optimism out of its misery a long time ago; instead, we eyeball reality with the cold clinical stare of the lost and left behind.

This month’s latest episode is an ode to all things electronic, to the flicker of the switch and the illumination of a future as stark than our own. Our celebration, a devil-may-care romp in the aural delights of the machines, opens with some recent beauts from Gated before dipping into acid, breakbeat, electro and techno with records from Amenthia, Betonkust, Gated Recordings, Klasse Wrecks and heaps more.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #42 — 7″s from Salvation

 A show that’s been in the making for well over two decades, two hours dedicated to the most minute of the vinyl formats: seven inches! Robbie goes deep digging into the seven-inch shoebox and comes up with a glut of gold from far and wide.

Deep digging into the seven-inch shoebox

Ashow that’s been in the making for well over two decades, two hours dedicated to the most minute of the vinyl formats: seven inches! Robbie goes deep digging into the seven-inch shoebox and comes up with a glut of gold from far and wide. We get started in and around the year 2000, and revisit the turn of the millennium throughout this episode. The perverse world of V/Vm gets the platter spinning, the lager and fag ash stained “Rompford Rap” followed by some proper blip hop from Kid606 before Planet Mu sevens from Venetian Snares and o9.

Softer tones abound in this show with warm clicks and gentle electronics from Isan and Geiom. In a similar vein, Lowfish and the superb Skanfrom are well represented with some quality tracks from imprints like A.D.S.R. and Awkward Silence.

Heavier electro offerings arrive care of The Exaltics and The Suiciders. Much of this transmission is dedicated to a favorite genre of the seven inch format, synthwave. Gems from labels like Anna Logue, Genetic Music and Kernkrach shine with well crafted works of tear jerker machine pop. Never ones to shy away from some Italo Disco, Fake and Transport both feature for some mid 80s joy. The close is a shout out to our good pal Mark and a favorite of his from Nervous Assistant on Blind Prophet.
