WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #23 — Off To Ombra special

 

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #23 — Off To Ombra special

Rejoicing in the return of Ombra, of course cancelled in 2020 with COVID, the lads from WE FORFEIT have scoured their collections to bring the festival to those who couldn’t make it there this year.

Rejoicing in the return of Ombra

Rejoicing in the return of Ombra, of course cancelled in 2020 with COVID, the lads from WE FORFEIT have scoured their collections to bring the festival to those who couldn’t make it there this year. Robbie gets the ball rolling with the veteran synth pop of Belgium’s Parade Ground and Italo Moderni’s Adrian Marth. Pinkman Records was well represented at Ombra with label boss Marsman curating the Operater stage. The imprint’s back catalog it plumbed for this special before homegrown talent takes center stage with El Aviador Dro and Valis on Oraculo Records.

Credit00 and June cross Robbie and Chris’ selections. Chris links his Scottish hometown with Madrid as he serves up Broken English Club’s scorched and serrated version of Esplendor Geometrico of “Rotor” released on Glasgow’s Contort Yourself.

Spain is well represented in this month’s show. We’re back to Madrid, or should I say Valencia now, with Frigio Records and some serious edit action from Juanpablo, Sneaker and Vinilette as well as Clock DVA’s brooding remix of Pragma. Barcelona’s adopted son, Neud Photo, offers an electro respite with the smouldering Indeks before Chris offers Iberian imprints like Brokntoys, Fill-lex Records and Soil.

The mood lightens as Minimal Wave maestro Das Ding offers three cold muzak productions taken from his Tear Apart Tapes label. Amin Peck, who sadly wasn’t at the festival, leads us out with his italo-wave “Suicidal.”

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #21 Live @ Hypnotica Colectiva XVI Anniversary (Valencia)

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #21 Live @ Hypnotica Colectiva XVI Anniversary (Valencia)

WE FORFEIT were delighted to be part of this return to music. Over four and a half hours, the lads went through two fat bags of records. Acid. EBM. Electro. House. Italo. Techno. Wave. The electronic gauntlet was well and truly ran.

 

The electronic gauntlet was well and truly ran

Valencia is an epicenter of electronic music. Hypnotica Colectiva is one of the city’s hubs and has been a pivotal point in Spain for more than fifteen years. Located in the heart of Valencia, ran from record-store-come-club Killing Time, a label was spawned in 2016 with HC Records.

In spite of Valencia’s COVID restrictions (some of the strictest in Spain), Hypnotica Colectiva kept the “ruta de bacalao” spirit alive this summer with a four day birthday bash in August 2021. To celebrate sixteen years of fostering electronics across the Iberian peninsula, and beyond, Killing Time turned the amplifiers back on and welcomed folk to return. WE FORFEIT were delighted to be part of this return to music. Over four and a half hours, the lads went through two fat bags of records. Acid. EBM. Electro. House. Italo. Techno. Wave. The electronic gauntlet was well and truly ran.

The essence of that mix has been simmered down to two hours. Expect tracks from the likes of Aspecto Humano, Bordello A Parigi, Femur, Frigio, Emotional Response, Hivern Discs, Waste Editions, Where We Met, Unusual Systems and, of course, HC Records.

¡Muchisímas gracias a Hypnotica Colectiva y a David!

[VAL] WE FORFEIT w/ Neud Photo Live/Djs David Verdeguer, Orco, Nahuel @ Killing Time (11/06/22)

 11/06/22 - 18.00– 03.30

WE FORFEIT Presents... 





A night of debauchery and devilment with the first ever WE FORFEIT night in Killing Time.

To inaugurate this new venture, the lads have enlisted the services of a cracking musician and electronic innovator; Neud Photo.

An artist steeped in electro, raised on new beat, soaked in acid, led the wrong way by techno and addicted to italo; Neud Photo is an artist guaranteed to bring the goods. Bordello A Parigi. Frigio Records. Rat Life. Just some of the labels that have featured his intoxicatingly unique sound. And we’ve got him for one of his first live sets in Spain. Unmissable.  

WE FORFEIT will be sharing the cabin with a cracking collection of Djs. An exciting upcoming selector, Nahuel is primed for some choice cuts. 
Orco, of Fill-Lex Records fame, will be on hand to deliver a cold blend of electro, techno and wave.
David Verdeguer, the man behind HC Records and Killing Time, will take to the cabin with a guarantee of pure quality.

Recorded just before We Forfeit headed to play at the Hypnotica Colectiva XVI Anniversary in Valencia.

A Spanish influence

This was recorded just before we headed to play at the Hypnotica Colectiva XVI Anniversary in Valencia, so we decided to start things out this month with some of HC’s finest and a cracking track by Colombia’s Filmmaker. A Spanish influence runs through our selections with month with Corp, Dip Shim, Mynationshit and Sed Blava as well as labels like Masa Series and Noise to Meet You; we’ve even managed some Spanish italo care of Tolerance.

Chris digs deep into the crates, resurfacing with electrofunk from Newcleus and wave floor-filler Night Moves. The machines are also centre stage with Roger Van Lunteren hitting some heavy numbers on Something Happening, Somewhere and 030303. Techno gems come care of Luke Slater and PA Presents on U-Trax with some soothing electronics, drawing Summer to a close, by, Konduka and Finnnish masters Pan Sonic.

WE FORFEIT, easing ‘ya back into the office.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #19 LIVE @ Bizarro w/ Nöle (Barro)

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #19 LIVE @ Bizarro w/ Nöle (Barro)

WE FORFEIT have tried our best to put some shows together, collating and colliding genres from far and wide for our monthly show on Radio Relativa. We’ve managed to get some mixes done and have more lined up.

A great audio memory for a wonderful night of music

Despite the hardships on the ever enduring COVID, there have been some highlights; beacons piercing the perennial fog that has dominated the last twenty plus months. There have been some great releases, cracking music that has broadened horizons and raised spirits. WE FORFEIT have tried our best to put some shows together, collating and colliding genres from far and wide for our monthly show on Radio Relativa. We’ve managed to get some mixes done and have more lined up.

Some of our proudest moments have come playing out, the ability to get back into a club and bang out some bangers was a real treat. We were lucky enough to have played with Aitor Arch and Juanpablo at Femur & Friends in Specka (thanks again to all concerned) and in April WE FORFEIT were back in Specka with Nöle (Barro founder and Stardust resident) once again in the hallowed ground of Specka.

For this last show of the season, we’ve put together some of favorite segments of the live recording from that night we had at Bizarro.

First up is Robbie. The set starts out with some brooding electronics, care of EMAK, Les Invalides and Nine Circles, before balance is found via labels like Anna Logue, Bordello A Parigi, Domestica and La Forme Lente. Artists that feature include the likes of Ian Martin, Intergalactic Gary and Heinrich Dressel.

Chris takes over the helm with Metropolis’ moody “Tonight” taken from Pinkman’s Broken Dreams series. From there the listener is taken on an emotional tilt-a-whirl through industrial menace, new beat hope and Neon Judgement sternness.

Nöle, our host at Bizarro, is our captain to the close. The Barro boss guides you through a mix of 80s leaning post-punk tearjerkers, oblong pop and trench-coat love affairs. Some proper gems in this one; what is the last one on here?

A great audio memory for a wonderful night of music. Thanks again to Nöle for the invite!
