Molotov Heart Cocktail / Lowitzer EP is a militant sonic manifesto by Bratislava’s upcoming synth-fi gang, whose main protagonists are Stratasoul (Dalibor Hriadeľ) and Stroon (Dalibor Kocian). Stratasoul, a long-time DJ and producer (check out his collab with Slovakia’s raper Bene) is also one of the promoters behind the Bratislava’s acclaimed MOOV club nights. Stroon is a multi-faceted musician, with many ties to projects ranging from group improvisations (Frutti di Mare, Musica Falsa et Ficta) to the beat-based future-funk collaboration Polyjoy/Femoxema. Recently he also started touring with the Slovak electro-pop band PPE as well as co-founded the Cluster Ensemble dedicated to interpretations of modern classical music.

Stroon - Molotov Heart Cocktail (Stratasoul Remix) by stratasoul

The production of Stroon & Stratasoul incorporate influences that range from house and soul to wonky, glitchhop and bass - the EP presents multidimensional sonic assemblages revolving around the topic of love. Stroon’s Molotov Heart Cocktail is an euphoric but distorted memory of a club where everybody has their hands up. Reality, twisted by various substances, is penetrated by a steady beat, accompanied by Stroon’s trademark distorted walls of synth. Stratasoul’s romantic gangster glitchhop overlaid by dancehall snares climaxes in an epic refrain with vortexes of pitch-shifted vocals that decompose in cascades of echoes. As for the remixes - Stroon and Stratasoul’s method of choice here is cut-up, resulting in some pretty complex and polyrhythmic tunes.

There’s nothing like a dose of existential witch house, made in the darkest corners of Eastern Bloc, to get through a sweltering summer’s day. Tempelhof’s self-titled debut is out now on Prague’s AM Discs. Get it here. 

TEMPELHOF - ‘tempelhof’ - 2011 (AMDD070) by AMDISCS

** Premiere - Piresian Beach - Fuck Your Mind LP **

I’m proud to announce yet another album I have been given the honor of releasing. Last year, I helped Piresian Beach release her super-fuzzed out, garage noir EP entitled “Parttalan”. Today, she’s back with a 10 track album, “Fuck Your Mind”, which you can download exclusively here!

The swamp-fi, space-noir elements still make an appearance, yet there’s more of a flirtation with 60s punk-garage aesthetics. Throughout the first half the drums pound out a warning as her signature, reverb drenched vocals accompany the swirling, moaning, chainsaw-esque guitar work. It is more primeval, harder, and more defiant. There is a sense of security in knowing she’s about to destroy you - steadfast in her resolve to to own you, drag you own into the murky abyss. She shrieks, coos, and purrs, her dark and guileful vocals seducing and coaxing you. And as it draws to a close, there is a sense of foreboding, something wicked, sinister, is about to unravel. One thing is clear, she’s still as beguiling and bewitching as ever.

Get the LP here.
