WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #35 — Drvg Cvltvre cometh

X

WE FORFEIT returned to Valencia with a seriously special guest.

A spread of scarred and scorched treats

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #35 – Drvg Cvltvre Cometh

Drvg Cvltvre performed his final live set at the legendary Killing Time (March, 2023). A rare talent, this hardware junkie has been drawn deep into the dark and brooding recesses of his machines. With releases on the likes of Bunker, Shipwrec and Viewlexx, this infamous figure has been central in the West Coast sound of Holland whilst exploring new plains on his own New York Haunted.

Accompanying Robbie and Chris in the cabin were some heavyweights. Ruben Rodrigo of La Carbonero and Slokto of Syntax Electronix fame will be spinning some serious slammers with the head honcho David Verdeguer opening the night.

For this edition Chris delivers a taster of what to expect at the weekend, a choice hour-long mix of no-nonsense cuts that guarantee to slice through speakers.

Drvg Cvltvre finishes with his own exclusive excursion into the depths of his sound palette. Expect tracks from his own discography as well as a spread of scarred and scorched treats.

Thanks so much to all involved in such a special night.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #33 —Top tracks of 2022X

It comes but once a year, WE FORFEIT‘s top tracks of 2022. Tough year, seems to be the mantra of life there days. Nevertheless, the lads bury the spike of reality with a selection of nourishing sounds that guarantee to warm away the horrors staring back at you.

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #33 – Top Tracks of 2022

Tough year, seems to be the mantra of life there days. Nevertheless, the lads bury the spike of reality with a selection of nourishing sounds that guarantee to warm away the horrors staring back at you. Robbie starts us off with some beauts care of the always excellent Heinrich Dressel and his silken synth work. Synths are the focus for Mothball’s Ash in October with Galaxian offering some electro commentary on levers of power. The atmospherics of Ard Bit lead into the the wizardry of John Beltran before we hit the floor. Mr Ho & Mogwaa and their upbeat “Bail-E” are countered with the caustic electronics of Sound Synthesis and knob jerks of PQ17 on the freshly minted Unusual Transmission.

The broken beat bandwagon is boarded for the superb Kanyalang! with Spain’s Black Quasar scaling peaks with Negative Glitch. We stay with Black Quasar and Existential Wabbit, resurfacing with Nebulae elegance and Delayscape’s delicate “Baffled Cry.”

A constant source of inspiration for us at WE FORFEIT is De:tuned, the Belgian label once again setting the bar incredibly high in 2022. Two tracks, care of legends Stasis and Nuron, had to make the selection, and do!

Chris takes the wheel with cracking pieces from our good pal DJ Sneaker, the unmissable Cignol, on HC Records, and the hard hitting Hard Ton on Schrödinger’s Box. Robbie returns with an 030303 gem of the last twelve months, Tom Gilbert and “Lucid Dream” mixed into the electro godfathers that are Morphology.

Muchísimas gracias a Radio Relativa, nuestros oyentes y los invitados como Adrián Marth. Seguimos, como el tiempo, con más pronto. Un abrazazazazazo.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #31

Robbie and Chris of WE FORFEIT present their latest mix for Radio Relativa #31 and the struggles with Spain’s postal service.

Beautiful warm electronics

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #31

All vinyl lovers will know the constant battle with the age-old enemy: The Post Office. Slips not left. Surly staff. No ID. “It’s a record, yeah like an old record like black thing. Yeah, them lads.” This war of attrition takes on a new mantle when faced with Correos, Spain’s postal service that would give the Soviet Union a run for its money when it comes to queues.

Robbie found himself sleuthing from one post office to another to track down some of the audio treats that are on offer for this month’s WE FORFEIT. Beautiful warm electronics come care of Ireland’s Derek Carr before we dip into the colder machinations of Morphology. Digging into the past, Arne Weinberg and John Shima give a taster of the wonderful diametric. before more new arrivals care of 030303. Cold Blow and Suction.

Although Spain’s postal service may have issues, the electronic music talent of Iberia has none. Moy’s new 12” on the Masa Series is superb with Promising/Youngster following with a mixlet of No Moon and Cultivated Electronics.

Chris has been on duty in Valencia with his interview translation work for Alessandro Adriani when Mannequin’s boss played in Killing Time. Mannequin is well represented with some jewels from its back catalogue, Dust being a real favorite. As ever, we’ve searched high and low for techno with Chris unearthing Transmigration alongside some classics form Djax-Up-Beats. No content with one Alessandro, Chris was also translating for Alessandro Parisi at a recent Frigio Showcase in Valencia, the Italian sound sculptor represented with two tracks.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #30 — Neud Photo LIVE (June 2022)

One from our Summer shenanigans folder, WE FORFEIT return with a gem from June 2022 in Valencia where a very special night took place. With a glut of DJ’ing talent, WE FORFEIT inaugurated their first night with their good friend Nico aka Neud Photo.

Summer shenanigans

¡Enjoi!

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #30 – Neud Photo LIVE (11.06.2022)

One from our Summer shenanigans folder, WE FORFEIT return with a gem from June 2022 in Valencia where a very special night took place. With a glut of DJ’ing talent, WE FORFEIT inaugurated their first night with their good friend Nico aka Neud Photo. With releases on Bordello A Parigi, Mysidian, Pinkman and Soil, Nico has an impressive back catalogue. In Killing Time, the US-born synth artist delivered an incredible live set, one that we have recordings of for this first of the season.

Opening the two hour session is a young DJ whose heart lies in the golden age of techno. Nahuel got the night going with a cracking set of classic artificial intelligence style electronics. Classics packed!

Robbie’s up next with a slice of his two hour set. Tracks include E.R.P., Egyptian Lover, Luca Lozano, and lots more. Moody tones begin Chris’ mix, brighter hues coming as Valencia Bacalao gems sparkle in the muggy Valencia night. Our headliner, Neud Photo finishes the evening’s entertainment. We’ve brought you 45 minutes of his intense live jam session. Crossing the boundaries of acid, electro, new beat and synth, Nico delivers a session that had bodies sweating and limbs flailing on the Killing Time dancefloor.

Thanks to everyone involved, especially David, Nahuel, Orco and Nico. Great time had and hopefully we’ll get to do it again soon.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #29 — Mixed Up With Mora @ RR HQ

Having not played in the Radio Relativa studio since before the pandemic, many many moons and PCRs ago, WE FORFEIT are back in the booth with a mate and a serious selector.

Two hours of electronics

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #29 – Mixed Up With Mora @ RR HQ

  

Last WE FORFEIT of the season and we’ve, like always, something real special. Having not played in the Radio Relativa studio since before the pandemic, many many moons and PCRs ago, WE FORFEIT are back in the booth with a mate and a serious selector.

Mora has spent years of behind the turntables in Madrid and throughout Spain. We’re tremulous to have Miguel, a DJ with such style and taste. This session was almost derailed, literally, by out of service trains, hooky car batteries and a heat that’d bake a cake. Despite such obstacles, the lads made it and put together two hours of electronics with labels like Lunatic, Roberto Auser, Frigio, Lunar Disko, Tech Startup, Neud Photo and loads more.

A tracklist will materialize, over time, but this was a pretty improvised thing.

Thanks to all of our guests, 030303, Adrián Marth, Carlos Martín, and Mora, as well as all our listeners and Radio Relativa. ¡Hasta la temporada que viene!

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #28 — LIVE @ Happy Mondays (Valencia)

From weirded wave into acid absolution and then dives headlong into some hedonism, even a ‘bitta Kraftwerk in there.

Weirded wave into acid absolution

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #28 – LIVE @ Happy Mondays (Valencia)

There was a tear in poor Robbie’s beady eye when Chris mounted the steps of that bus for Valencia. Yet change means new opportunities and WE FORFEIT have been lucky enough to have played a handful of times at the wonderful Killing Time in Valencia.

Twelve months ago the lads were there where a two hour set of caustic and raw electronics was the serving. Robbie was up first and sadly only his part of the mix survives. Nevertheless, the memories of a cracking night with las fallas at Happy Mondays will be cherished for years to come.

This episode starts off with some a favorite from Dark Entries, the klepto-electro new beat of Grey House opens before some mellow techno machinations care of John Beltran, DJN4 and Gerd. Chris takes over with some new Chicago house grit with some friendlier numbers sprinkled in with Paul Hardcastle and our favorite Hyboid.

Our mix goes from weirded wave into acid absolution and then dives headlong into some hedonism, even a ‘bitta Kraftwerk in there.

Muchas gracias a todos de Happy Mondays, Killing Time y HC Records. Un abrazazo!

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #27 — Mynationshit mixtape

Carlos Martín aka Mynationshit is an artist of serious caliber. Based in Almería, this synth sorcerer has his own unique sound that combines a cold wave cleanness with more emotive elements.

Exploration of electronic music

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #27 – Mixtape : Mynationshit

This month’s show continues our exploration of electronic music with a very special guest. Carlos Martín aka Mynationshit is an artist of serious caliber. Based in Almería, this synth sorcerer has his own unique sound that combines a cold wave cleanness with more emotive elements. With his Waste Editions label, this talented musician has been a favorite here at WE FORFEIT for many years now and we’re more than delighted to have him as our first ever guest mix.

Before Carlos’ selection, Robbie is on hand with a range of records that showcase Mynationshit’s releases, his label as well as tracks that reflect both his sound and that of his mix. Expect tracks that span more than twenty years with fragile compositions and gentle synth-work countered by computer rhythms and sharper sounds.

The Waste Editions boss traverses a spread of styles in his mix. Spanish labels feature heavily with homegrown labels including Artificial Intelligence, Cold Beat Records, Frigio, Factor City, and Noise to Meet You.

¡Muchísimas gracias Carlos!

WE FORFEIT :: Interview w/ Adrián Marth (Italo Moderni)

From a mutual love of all things EBM, Italo and synth, our conversation charts the rise and rise of the Catalan artist, DJ and label boss.

Facebook

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #26 – Interview – Adrián Marth (Italo Moderni)

Pioneers of everything synth

We’re delighted to have one of Spain’s pioneers of everything synth with us, Adrián Marth. The Barcelona artist was already on our radar, his Marthian Worlds in the bag, when we bumped into him before his cracking set at last year’s Ombra Festival. After said live show a decision was made; the Italo Moderni boss needs to be on WE FORFEIT. From a mutual love of all things EBM, Italo and synth, our conversation charts the rise and rise of the Catalan artist, DJ and label boss. Tracks come care of our guest, unreleased material from the label and some favorites from the WE FORFEIT camp.

  

Tracklist and interview questions from recording ::

Clay Pedrini :: New Dream (I.D. Limited)

Who is Adrián Marth and what is Italo Moderni?

Adrián Marth :: Disorder (Wrong Era/ Italo Moderni)
Rapha :: V More Karabli (Italo Moderni)

How did you become influenced in electronic music and, in particular, italo? Who are your influences?

Adrián Marth :: Black Ritual Witches (Wrong Era (Slow Motion/ Italo Moderni)

Why did you decide to set up your own label? What style is Italo Moderni pursuing?

Journeyman :: Something Dies In The Soul (Day mix) (Kosmorama Disco)
Win2Win :: Fantasia 500 (Wrong Era)
L&O::Even Now (La Musique Fait La Force)

Shortly after you started this project, the world entered into a pandemic. How were you able to adapt and continue to develop your label and yourself as a performer?

Anne Clarke :: Our Darkness (Virgin)
Petra & Co :: Just Let Go (Dub) (La Musique Fait La Force)

Your live show has seen you perform in events such as IFM streaming festival and at the Operator stage at Ombra in Barcelona. What is your process for performing live? Is it different to how you create music in the studio?

Adrián Marth :: Adrian Marth – Experiment Man (Italo Moderni)

You’re based in Barcelona, but your collaborations and various artist compilations draw artists from all over the continent. How do you find artists to collaborate with? What do you look for when you want to work with an artist?

Chino :: Shoplifters (Italo Moderni)

Italo disco continues to see a resurgence in popularity. Why is this genre so enduring and endearing?

Larry Day :: Fashion Girl (I.D. Limited)
Alba :: Philomena (Aube)
Suicide Booth :: Aura (Das Drehmoment)

How is the music scene in Barcelona?

Mata Hari :: Mata Hari Mata Hari (Blanco y Negro/Bordello A Parigii/Moustache)

It appears that the electronic scene in Spain favours darker sounds: we’ve already spoken of Ombra festival, countless artists talk of their love of post-punk and industrial while labels like barro, fill-lex and soil really push this sound. Why do you think darkness continues to be so prevalent in the Spanish scene?

Boris Divider :: Parallel (Arcanoid remix version 2) (Frigio)

What are you releasing next? Any snippets for us?

Timothy.J.Fairplay :: Altar Room (Italo Moderni)
Univac :: Aegis (Italo Moderni)

What do you have planned for the future? (tours/shows/record releases etc. remember this interview will probably air mid February)? And to finish, what is a guilty pleasure track for you?

Axxess :: Dancing Shadows (Lamborghini/Medical)
