Influences and inspirations is the focus with vinyl favorites

The New Year has been rung in at WE FORFEIT HQ, although it was a far-cry from the usual affair. With Chris locked-down in Valencia and Robbie snowed-in in Madrid, it was a truly socially distanced shindig. Such a time has given the lads time to reflect and get stuck into the record shelves. For this latest episode, the first of 2021, influences and inspirations is the focus with vinyl favorites from far and wide brought together to down a glass of Cava and belt out a few choice numbers.

Chris delves deep into the electro pioneer that was, is, and always will be, Cutting Records before Robbie introduces a techno favourite in the form of A13. We’re then led into the audio treats of Njimegen with selections from Deep Sound Channel and Shipwrec, including artists like 214, Luxus Varta and The Exaltics.

Chris visits the weird and wonderful world of Sex Tags Mania, DJ Soto Fett’s label with its warren of sub-divisions and subterranean platforms as well as a quick visit to Miami’s Isophlux. The journey continues with a bit of misty-eyed nostalgia as Robbie reminisces about his time in Glasgow with a selection of Tabernacle tracks, four tracks that focus on live-acts seen play in Scotland and here in Madrid.

We end with a couple of general favs, Chris’ grá for Gesloten Cirkel and Robbie’s own for AFX. Last show of that season but more to come! ¡Feliz año a todos y hasta la próxima!

WE FORFEIT (Mix 29) :: Radio Relativa #12 — Eoism & Robyrt Hecht

TwitterEmailCompartir

Sit back, grab a beer and enjoy more than two hours of music taking in synth, techno and serious dose of electro from Eoism of Pulse Drift and Robyrt Hecht of Clear Memory and YUYAY.

Two hours of music—taking in synth, techno and a serious dose of electro

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #12 - Interview - Eoism (Pulse Drift) Robyrt Hecht (Clear Memory/YUYAY) Extdd

Lockdown is the word of the year. Inspiring stuff. The universal touch of COVID has been incredible, as have the restrictions put in place to curb the spread of the virus. Cities have closed, opened and closed again. Constraints may have been applied, but on creativity they most certainly have not; not in Leipzig and certainly not for Eoism (Pulse Drift) and Robyrt Hecht (Clear Memory/YUYAY.)

The East German city has a chequered history when it comes to restrictions, some of the first protests against the repression of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) sprung up on its streets leading to a movement that toppled the Berlin wall. A sense of community runs through those very same streets today, a community that is plain to hear in the growth electronic music, with a raft of artists and labels, blooming through the cobblestones.

WE FORFEIT have had an ear on Leipzig for many years now, imprints like BlackRed, Lunatic and Rat Life having pride of place on the record shelves. Leipzig is given the full spotlight in this latest episode, with an interview with two musicians and two label founders who call his fascinating town their home.

Sit back, grab a beer and enjoy more than two hours of music—taking in synth, techno and a serious dose of electro from Eoism of Pulse Drift and Robyrt Hecht of Clear Memory and YUYAY.

After a veritable banquet of wall to wall specials, WE FORFEIT are returning to their roots of pulling out records and seeing what happens.

Forgotten gems of house, synth wave and more

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #11 octubre

The Summer of 2020 might not have been a great time for travelling, but it was fairly decent when it comes to stocking the control station with new records. For this latest edition, as the warmth subsides to the welcome cool of Winter, Robbie delves into some of the new deliveries, from golden italo to modern day synth sunbeams.

Flying solo for this one—Chris has recently moved to Valencia and should be back on the airwaves soon—Robbie steers, while the cat co-pilots, a course through recent releases by Blanco Y Negro, Bordello A Parigi, Gated Recordings, Ice Machine and Schrodinger’s Box. With holidays meaning stay home, an attempt was made to bring order to WE FORFEIT central during the long hot Summer days of Madrid. Sleeves were rolled up and (record) sleeves rearranged as Robbie went elbow deep into the records to try and organise ’em. Forgotten gems of house, synth wave and more were rediscovered and revived for October’s show including pieces from A Shortwave Mystery, Oppenheimer Analysis and Vangelis.

The world is toured without ever leaving the sitting room in this episode. Tourist Kid from Australia, Cute Heals from Colombia, Dead Husband from the US and more. Our advice, get the headphones on, sit back, relax and let WE FORFEIT take you on that journey you thought you’d missed.

WE FORFEIT return to the interwaves, after the Summer break, with a very specific focus, the lads’ adopted home of Spain and the labels that hail from there. The Seat Ibiza is packed as Robbie and Chris explore the Iberian peninsula across twenty five tracks.

WE FORFEIT return to the interwaves, after the Summer break, with a very specific focus, the lads’ adopted home of Spain and the labels that hail from there. The Seat Ibiza is packed as Robbie and Chris explore the Iberian peninsula across twenty five tracks.

The northern coast is taken in. Galicia with Vagon Brei and Massage Brain Cult, from Lugo and A Coruña, as the lads make their way down the highways and byways towards the capital. Being Madrid based, the lads make a leisurely pitstop in their hometown with a wide selection coming from Frigio and Femur while sampling the likes of Negocius man and Arcanoid with pit-stops made at labels like Analogical Force Noise, Barro, Caustica Waveform, Eleve and Noise to Meet You. The rented motor is put through its paces, heading northwest for Cataluña to take in a tour of Camp Nou as well as visiting Aspecto Humano, Hooded, Polybius Trax, Spaecial and Útil before hitting the coast with Oráculo.

Never ones to shy away from overly long car journeys in searing heat with no aircon, WE FORFEIT plunge toward the southern coast for a two track stay with Waste Editions in Almería. A two hour audio excursion across a country, taking in electro, house, techno, synth, wave and much much more. Un abrazo!

WE FORFEIT (Mix 26) :: Radio Relativa #9 — Interview with Cignol

Share

Cignol has been on the WE FORFEIT radar, as well as many other folks, for quite some time now. The Ireland based artist has been consistently delivering superb music, from acid tinged techno, braindance infused electronica to sky gazing electro. Chris and Robbie managed to track Paul Cignol down for a chat.

Braindance infused electronica to sky gazing electro

The WE FORFEIT lads have their beady eyes on many things. Cinnamon rolls. Loose change. Decent priced white wine. Their ears are tuned to something altogether better.

Cignol has been on the WE FORFEIT radar, as well as many other folks, for quite some time now. The Ireland based artist has been consistently delivering superb music, from acid tinged techno, braindance infused electronica to sky gazing electro. Chris and Robbie managed to track Paul Cignol down for a chat. From his first influences in electronic music right up to his most recent works, all is laid bare in this tell-all interview that’s worthy of the very best of what The News of the World would have to offer. Sit back, relax and enjoy two hours of insight and music from a superb musician.

WE FORFEIT (Mix 25) :: Radio Relativa #8 - Italo Disco Spezial

Share

In fairness, italo should not belong to such a list. True, this synth pop, born in Italy around 1980, has some chequered names under its banner. However, there is a rich seam of musical gold when it comes to spaghetti dance. Chris and Robbie (WE FORFEIT) have dug deep into their collections to bring a split session that takes up the story of this analogue pop phenomenon from the very beginnings to its modern day incarnation.

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #8 mayo Italo Disco Spezial

WE FORFEIT is all about the guilty pleasures. Breakfast in bed. Cream in the cornflakes. Battered fried slice in with the coffee. When it comes to musical guilty pleasures, italo disco is pretty high up on the lads’ list.

In fairness, italo should not belong to such a list. True, this synth pop, born in Italy around 1980, has some chequered names under its banner. However, there is a rich seam of musical gold when it comes to spaghetti dance. Chris and Robbie have dug deep into their collections to bring a split session that takes up the story of this analogue pop phenomenon from the very beginnings to its modern day incarnation.

Robbie gets the disco ball spinning in 1980 with Number One Ensemble, bringing us right up to 2014 with Alden Tyrell, as A Visitor from Another Meaning, and Fred Ventura. In between we traverse this ridiculously catchy sound with offers from Den Harrow, Brand Image, Forbidden Fruit and the indominable M&G’s When I Let You Down amongst others.

A more modern vision of the style is also on display with three pieces from one of the progenitors of italo, Fred Ventura. Ventura was there at the birth of the sound and has been instrumental in the reshaping and reinterpretation of the style for a new generation. Robbie was lucky enough to interview Fred Ventura for Bordello A Parigi recently.

Chris takes over with an italo inspired forty minute mix with classics from the likes of Model 500 weaved with timeless gems from the unforgettable Kano and Lime. Edits come care of Madrid’s very own Frigio Records with one of the godfathers of Rimini revivalism featuring in the form of Flemming Dalum.

The Summer is here, let it in! WE FORFEIT.
