A1. ROTCIV - Elev8tion
A2. ROTCIV - Elev8tion (Massimiliano Pagliara Remix)
B1. ROTCIV - Unbelievable
B2. ROTCIV - Muquifo
B3. ROTCIV - The Morning After

Short Info:

After two stellar Split EPs with Das Komplex, Brazilian sound wizard ROTCIV delivers his first
Solo EP on Luv Shack Records. With 4 intricate original cuts and a Massimiliano Pagliara remix,
the Elev8tion EP is a bold testament to modern EBM.

The titular track sets the stage with a firework of dramatic synths, brash elektro beats and a
fluttering acid line, finding a perfect balance between dancefloor appeal and leftfield
quirkiness.

Italian maestro Massimiliano Pagliara remixes "Elev8tion" in a straightforward fashion, opting
for a percussion heavy drummachine pattern, a driving bassline and additional synth melodies,
yet incorporating the original 303 to great effect.

On "Unbelievable", ROTCIV lays out a complex carpet of alternating arpeggios, heavily automated
synth melodies and an array of weird vocal snippets, atop a minimalistic electronic drum track.
"Muquifo", which literally translates to flophouse or dump (or shack?), is a slow burning
breakbeat track with eerie strings and tripped out acid melodics, making it a hot contender for
future afterhours.

"The Morning After" is a similarly low slung track, with a broken beat and a distinct
industrial flair, yet the synth melodies strike a more hopeful chord and have an almost

B1. True Colour
B2. Bubbles The Chimp
B3. Soundwaves

Short info:

Hot on the heels of their proud new charity project and first ever compilation ‘Freeride Millenium presents Queer Base’, this agenda setting label returns with an evocative new EP from Brazilian artist Rotciv, also appearing on vinyl in collaboration with Pauls Musique.
DJing since 1996 and Berlin based since 2010, Rotciv has been playing places like the acclaimed Panorama Bar, Frankfurt’s legendary Robert Johnson club and the Cocktail D’Amore parties for many years. He runs Mister Mistery, a label focused on house music, while also releasing himself on Luv Shack, Unterton (Ostgut Ton) Skylax and many more. All this comes alongside his The Rimshooters project with Massimiliano Pagliara.
He kicks off this fresh EP with 'Number of Names', a rugged roller on the border between house and techno with a phased bassline and rolling chords that get you in a meditative state. The more upbeat 'Glutamate Transmission' gets you shifting shapes with its daubs of acid, crisp percussive flashes and busy bassline, then 'True Colour' has an old school Chicago feel with its chatty claps and acid lines. The moods continue to evolve with style on 'Bubbles The Chimp', a tense cut of broken techno, futuristic machine sounds and lively synths. Beautiful ambient closer 'Soundwaves' is a lush comedown amongst the stars.
This is a fully formed and journeying EP of fantastic underground sounds with artwork by Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Rotciv is the Brasilian born, Berlin based man behind Mister Mistery records. This prolific producer has been out there for quite a long time and you might remember "The Rimshooters", the long lasting collaboration with Massimiliano Pagliara himself. Now it is time for Rotciv to offer a piece of his synthesisers' craftsmanship to Funnuvojoere Records. This five tracker EP expresses Rotciv's skills with harmony and music progression. A1 AWAKENING starts off with a piano house arpeggio and slowly evolves into a trance acid-tinged explosive motive. Organic feeling drums develop giving it a disco touch that will put a smile on the crowded dance floor. A2 GOOD SPELL combines a pure cosmic style with a New Beat-like dissonance and uplifting vocals. B1 KNOW THE UNKNOWN keeps the experimentation levels high with distortions and an 8bit dialogue that drifts into a progressive-kind of sound. Deeper than the rest B2 puts on stage a dark landscape that reminds of a black and white vampire movie. B3 INTERMISSION follows up and gives the final ambient touch to this delightful EP.

Short Info:

Cormac is launching a new record label called Polari, through which he will curate and share music from artists that he champions in his much-revered DJ sets.

The name "Polari" references the slang used by the gay subculture in the 19th century.

The inaugural release is from London based Kiwi - a producer, label owner and promoter very much on the rise.

Having previously released on revered imprints such as Optimo, Future Boogie, Needwant, 17 Steps and his own Crossbreed, Kiwi has already established himself a producer with idiosyncratic studio nous, and a natural flair for delivering records that bind and enthral dancers of all persuasions.

Crossbreed is also a London based event series that "encourages freedom of expression and hedonism", and aims to "break down social constructs and stigmas". It is here that Cormac and Kiwi reconnected earlier this year, and sowed the seeds for this first release.

Cormac has also opted to showcase different LGBTQI+ visual artists' work for the sleeve art.

Artwork on this release is from SHREK 666; an Artist, Performer, Maker & DJ also known as Sorcha Clelland. Creator of Ministry of Pound, a Glasgow based Fetish Party & Mag and resident performer at Scotland's most loved Queer party Shoot Your Shot. Combining monstrosity, trans*ness & hypersexuality through the embodiment of an ogre creating new queer worlds.
