Shortinfo:
Zombies are undead by nature and these ones seem to be not only not dead, but very much alive and active:
ZOMBIES IN MIAMI is a project created by Canibal & Jenouise and despite the name they are not
crawling around Miami, but shining out their light from Mexico. The couple became one of the most
prominent members of Mexico‘s vital electronic scene over the last decade. You can call their sound
a rhythmic and synth-driven house and techno hybrid, with a disco and balearic twist, which is held
together by the oh so sweet Italo Drama.
As the living dead always seemed to be a big inspiration for Italian filmmakers, the love seems mutual
and the movie scores rubbed off on the other end as well. After highly acclaimed EPs and tracks for
such diverse labels as Gerd Janson's Running Back, Jennifer Cardini's Correspondant, Prins
Thomas's Internasjonal as well as Hippie Dance or Bordello A Parigi, now it’s time for the great
couple’s first album: "2712" on Permanent Vacation.
The vast experience of Zombies in Miami as a long lasting music production team, as well as
performing live acts around the world (which brought them to the some of the best clubs and festivals
on this planet) culminates in 8 tracks that perfect their futuristic retro sound. An ideal match for
Permanent Vacation! You probably won't find a better combination of Italo arpeggio lines, house
pianos, disco drums as well as sun kissed and mythical soundscapes for your summer soundtrack.

B2. WALKING TO XILITA More

Tracklist
A1. Take Control (Original)
A2. Take Control (Simple Symmetry Remix)
B1. Last Gun (Original)
B2. Last Gun (INIT Remix)

Hot on the heels of their role on Correspondant Compilation Five, Mexican maestros Zombies In Miami return to Jennifer Cardini's label once again this summer with two supreme space-aged head jams.

Following recent disco excursions on Hippie Dance and Bordello A Parigi, the duo retreat to the shadier, heavyweight side of their signature with 'Take Control' and 'Last Gun'.

'Take Control' is a glacial creeper laced with frosty electroid synths and a smouldering hypnotic beat while 'Last Gun' firms our focus on the looming lower tones, creating an ominous fog for the sunlight arpeggios to climb through evocatively. Complete with on-point remixes from the Lipsky brothers' Simple Symmetry and Benedikt Frey & Nadia D'Alo's INIT project, this will have you taking control for a long time to come.

Tracklist: A. Snake Language, B1. Calo, B2. Yama

For the 7th release on Love On The Rocks, we welcome the Mexican duo Zombies in Miami for a three track EP titled “Snake Language”. The title track is a raw an haunting drum heavy number. On the flip comes “Calo” with its twisting riffs that wind and turn alongside percussive interludes. “Yamo” changes the pace but is no less impressive with climactic flutes and a driving bass line. El Fuego completes the release as a digital exclusive. With this EP, the Zombies in Miami are literally on fire! More

Release Info:
Today, beloved DJ, producer and songwriter Lauren Flax announces her forthcoming EP, Out Of Reality out August 6 via 2MR. Much of Out Of Reality’s cohesion comes from Flax’s expansive production, using simple elements to craft intricate backdrops for the questions posed by her songs. On the EP’s titular track, Alejandra Deheza (School of Seven Bells)’s crystalline vocals are woven against a delicate tapestry of arpeggiated keys, sparse percussion and haunting cello. Watch “Out of Reality” here.

Detachment isn’t always detrimental; sometimes you have to step outside to get a better view. Lauren Flax knows this - as a DJ, producer and songwriter, her discography is notoriously genre-defiant, consisting of an impressive array of solo tracks, collaborations, and remixes. The most recent of these – her mesmerizing take on Pale Blue’s “Breathe” - saw her experimenting with a new style of writing. “I wanted to explore that sound more,” Flax explains, “more of a synth exploration, textures with less beats.” The pared-down songwriting approach lent itself to thematic considerations as well: she’d been thinking about the repetitive nature of the life cycle - the Indian concept of Samsara - and felt a general disappointment at humanity’s lack of progress. On her new EP Out Of Reality, she washes that disappointment in lush sonic hues, stepping outside the quotidien for a new perspective.

Though its themes span beyond the scope of our current socio-political moment, Out Of Reality feels, right now, like an especially tantalizing proposition. Pandemic-driven escapism has bred a new crop of otherworldly music designed to transport the listener somewhere better. But Flax isn’t interested in escapism for its own sake - there’s still work to be done here on Earth, after all. Instead, through a combination of live instrumentation and ethereal synths, Out Of Reality grants us a respite from the real so we can return to it with a clear head.

Solipsism is an archival release of music from Mike Simonetti's tenure as owner of Italians Do It Better Records, spanning from 2006-2013. During that time Mike wrote a lot of music. Some of it was used for films, some for TV commercials, some for fashion shows and he even released a record or two. Influenced by the intersection of 80's arena rock bands like AC/DC and Judas Priest, glam rock/dance bands like Rockets and Supermax, and especially the underground Italian producer Piero Umiliani - the album is chock-full of atmospheric rock-inspired arpeggiated riffs. The mixture of metal and chugging dance music makes for a unique listening experience. Every song has a riff, every song is heavy and dense. Only one song goes above 118 BPM. These are heavy chuggers that make for a tense emotional experience that exceeds your standard, easy-to-write-off "soundtrack" fare, mainly because it was never written with that in mind. It was meant to be a fist-pumping arena rock inspired thumper! You can hear that in the one two punch of "A Prayer For War" into "Illusions", which is an outtake from his "The Magician" sessions. Other songs like "Solipsism" showcase the airy melodies of that were to come with his other project Pale Blue, but that is not typical on this album. If you listen closely, you can hear how Simonetti's music and dark vibes inspired his then label partner Johnny Jewel to take his own bands Chromatics and Glass Candy in a different, more cinematic direction. This was written and recorded years before the Drive soundtrack and all the hoopla around the sudden soundtrack resurgence. In 2011 Mike was asked to submit some songs for a soon to be released Hollywood remake. He submitted most of the songs from this album, and they were slated for release on the soundtrack, but the project fell apart, and the film went in a different direction and changed producers. Soon after, because of all the drama and foolishness, he left Italians Do It Better to start over with 2MR and Pale Blue. This is the nail in the coffin. Godspeed. More
