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.

Dipping into the past

This episode of We Forfeit was originally aired in November of 2023, when the clouds of winter were gathering. Fast forward half a year and the sun is splitting the stones here in Madrid. Splitting our speakers, and hopefully yours, are some true acid techno tearaways from Finland care of Boneless One, Helium and Sex Voltage. Calmer, arguably sunnier, moments come from Italo disco to cut through the bitter tang of our nordic contributions. Dipping into the past, with a clear eye on the future of course, we have Cold Blow Records and the excellent R.A.N.D. Muzik before donning our mascara for the modern romantic movements of Hysterica Passio and new beat edge of Corp of Unusual Systems.

Staying in Madrid, Lowfish delivers the off-world elegance of “Thaw” before No Moon and uf0 breakbeats pull on heartstrings. Taking the reins, Chris is in the mix with some lancing electronics from the likes of Diffuse Reality, Gamma Intel, and Viicktory.

Thanx!

A top night in Valencia

WE FORFEIT are back, again. To get the season going, we’re delighted to present the recording of a top night in Valencia. In the middle of September, Robbie and Chris shared the cabin of the legendary Killing Time with two jewels of the Valencian scene.

We had two hours recorded live with tracks from Aphex Twin, Berceuse Heroique, Hieroglyphic Being, Tin Man, Secret Studio Records, Wolfskuil and more. Thanks a million to Mamvt Electronics and Killing Time, a pleasure.

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.

Digging deep into the collections

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #39 – Season Finale

  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.

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relatvia #38 – Mora B2B Leonid

A smorgasbord of vinyl treats

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

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.

Here to brighten lives and darken speakers

WE FORFEIT · Radio Relativa #37 mayo

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.”
