WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #39 — Season finale

 In their final instalment of the season, WE FORFEIT dug deep into their collections to pluck out some old favorites, recent acquisitions and all-round top tracks.

  Where does time go? It dissolves into crystalline pools of mirroring aluminum, it retreats into shallow puddles of shame and joy. In our final instalment of this latest season, WE FORFEIT are digging deep into the collections to pluck out some old favorites, recent acquisitions and all-round top tracks.

Italo gets the ball rolling, as it does with many the night out. Techno is well represented with some beauts from Deniro, Gilbert, Oid and Sabre. Electro? Of course with Chris delivering some corkers care of Fabio Vinuesa, The Hacker and Ultradyne (to name but a few.) House is chewed up and spat out by John Heckle with other bangers to keep the mind racing.

Thanks to all at Igloo and Radio Relativa and guests such as Solvent, WLDV, Leonid, Mora. Those who came to our parties and played including Drvg Cvltvre, Neud Photo and Suffo and to David Verdeguer of Killing time. A big thanks to all of our listeners. More planned and programmed for the next twelve months.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #38 — Mora B2B Leonid

 If we love anything here at WE FORFEIT, it’s the blind following of ritual and tradition. With this in mind, the lads roped in their good mates Mora and Leonid for the yearly pilgrimage to the Radio Relativa studio to get some recording done.

June 15, 2023 — With the cruelest of Madrid’s heat yet to come, three bags of records were packed for a back to back session that guaranteed backs would be left slick with sweat. Fellow Irishman, Leonid, is no stranger to the DJ booth in Madrid. When not playing in the finest establishments the Spanish capital has to offer, Paul Smith is crafting electronic music for labels like Sistrum, Lunar Disko and, most recently, Ethos.

Another figure of the Madrid music scene, Mora is one of the brains behind the legendary Zodiac nights. On hot nights with sticky floors, he has held his own while sharing turntables with the likes of Intergalactic Gary, Mick Wills and many more

A smorgasbord of vinyl treats is on offer, served from the dripping fingertips of Robbie, Miguel and Paul. Hard to get a track list together for this, bit of cobbling will be attempted as there are some real beauts in here. Thanks again to Miguel and Paul for coming down, great fun had and hopefully we’ll all get to do it together again soon.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #37

 

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #37

With a fresh batch of records having just arrived at HQ, the vinyl is squeaking new and comes in some wonderful shapes, sizes and sounds.

The sunshine has finally cracked and deluges are flooding the streets of Madrid, grey skies reflected in the concrete canals coursing through the capital. To keep the blues away, WE FORFEIT are here to brighten lives and darken speakers.

With a fresh batch of records having just arrived at HQ, the vinyl is squeaking new and comes in some wonderful shapes, sizes and sounds. Italo disco is, as ever, represented with offers from Ivent, Proxima and ZYX. Richer strains of electro come care of Lerosa, Cignol and Sound Synthesis with some broken beat bangers from Tapei based Jin and Farron.

Chris openly proclaims his love for sharp edged electro with angular assaults from Abrazas, Univac and Kafkactrl to name a few.

The Summer appears to be a stone’s throw away and to celebrate the arrival of undoubtedly unbearable heat, we close with some sweat stained “Love in the Summer Night.”

Semi-regular Mixtape series

WE FORFEIT return to our semi-regular Mixtape series. Following on from the excellent assortment of Carlos Martín, aka Mynationshit, the lads remain on the Iberian Peninsula and head north. País Vasco local We Love The Dolce Vita, better known as WLDV, is in the mix with some show stopping slammers.

Robbie delivers an hour of new tunes while drawing inspiration from WLDV’s love of electronics, giallo and soundtracks. From the silver screen slashers of Goblin and Amorosi Dressel, we revisit recent nights at Femur before horror disco from Neil Landstrumm and our guest of honor. Electro is served cold from the Clear Memory and Yuyay camp with classic techno coming from the trailblazing Marco Repetto and braindance beauts from Athens Computer Underground.

WLDV digs deep into his collection with a super special selection that traverses electro disco, new beat, synth-wave and much more. When Bilbao aficionado is not behind a bank of synths, he’s spinning records. Brand new releases go shoulder to shoulder with lesser heard gems in a mix that shimmers with sheer quality. Expect tracks from the likes of Bordello A Parigi, Moustache Records, Samo and lots more.

Muchísimas gracias de nuevo a WLDV!
