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.
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!

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!

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.
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!

Another night of debauchery and devilment in Killing Time.
For the return we've managed to secure an artist who has been at the forefront of electronic music for more than twenty years: Drvg Cvltvre.
Drvg Cvltvre, Ra-X, Vincent Koreman. An example of the monikers this central figure of the West Coast scene has assumed. Bunker, Shipwrec, Viewlexx. A sample of the labels he has released on. Angelmaker, New York Haunted, Vatican Analogue. Some of the imprints he has founded. In summary, a pillar of electronic music and an artist we are delighted to have with us.
WE FORFEIT will be sharing the cabin with a top selection of Djs including Rubén Rodrigo (La Carbonera), Slokto (Syntax) and David Verdeguer of HC Records and Killing Time fame.
Killing Time, Carrer del Dr. Sumsi, 21, 46005 València
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. Twi Facebook
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 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?
