幾年前還在聽Ipso Facto、ULTERIOR、Micron63、R O M A N C E和DEATH IN PLAINs這些團而認識到所屬的UK Indie廠牌DiscError Recordings，在上月底就收到來信通知DiscError第009號發行將是來自紐約布魯克林的兩人組合Goitia Deitz的首支7"單曲Romance / Coma發表於本月份，初次聽到帶有Chillwave風味的A Side曲Romance發覺不是我的菜（多聽幾次後覺得它有些Flying Into Tokyo的東洋味越陳越香），AA Side曲COMA和應該是數位下載才會有收錄Line改走Krautrock路線讓我誤以為是Factory Floor的前來假扮，就這樣我覺得Goitia Deitzc才真的很帥（雖然我還沒有看到這神祕兩人組的長相）。






DER009
7" Vinyl (also available as digital download)
Released: October 2011

A. Romance

Debut 7" release from Goitia Deitz a mysterious duo from Brooklyn, New York. Behind the pairs shrouded persona are two DJs and producers that have been collaborating as Goitia Deitz for the past year. Their recorded experiments in minimal electronics hint towards an extensive record collection and a shared bonding over their love of Krautrock, Kosmische and Italo.

All tracks are produced on analog equipment, recorded live in one take with additional mixing by James Aparicio (These New Puritans, Liars, Spiritualized, Mute Records). Nothing is pre-planned or written.

或許Micron 63對大多數的人來說是陌生的，但是如果常來這那或多或少應該會知道Micron 63這個英國團，短短兩年至今也只曾在08年底於DiscError發過一張單曲DEATH IS COLDER THAN LOVE，之後在09年中日本有個注意這一塊類型的廠牌Knew Noise Recordings也曾發行過這單曲日本盤的CD版本，如果有很注意他們在MySpace上面的動態，那就會聽過他們放上的一些Demo還有替一些英國跟他們一樣小小的新團作嫁的混音版本，但可惜好像也都沒有發行過，不過打開自己的iTunes準備來懷念一下才發現擁有的曲目零零總總大約也有51首，這樣也就不會太難過。

毋庸置疑R O M A N C E這組英倫Dark Wave樂隊絕對是在2010年裡最令我期待的新樂隊之一，樂隊從一開始的三位美型男的編制已在前陣子網羅了來自已解散的Ipso Facto陣中酷勁女Bass手Samantha Valentine的加入增加為四人，R O M A N C E限量300張的首張正式7"單曲Another Place已準備在本月中交由DiscError發行，現已可pre-order，但不想要多付國際運費的人當然快步前進台大IMPO找大強訂購絕對是你最好的選擇。

Official video for the song "Over and Above" by Death In Plains out November 2009 as a 7" limited vinyl single in the UK (download version available worldwide) on DiscError Recordings (Ipso Facto, Ulterior, R.O.M.A.N.C.E., Micron 63).

About The Mix:

From Passions: I'd been planning on making a goth/post-punk/industrial mix for at least a year now, as more and more it's what I found myself listening to as well as making, but it never quite panned out. My friend Sandra Chi took me to see Ipso Facto play at Cakeshop (she had illustrated a t-shirt for them), and I was quickly introduced to the musical world of Disc Error Recordings. Here was exactly the kind of new music I was longing to hear, and right around the same time Mikhail asked me to do a goth mix for Mishka; suddenly everything seemed to fall into place and so did this mix. Ciaran O'Shea (founder of Disc Error and long term artistic collaborator with The Horrors) and Sandra gratefully did artwork that perfectly complimented what I wanted to express. Hopefully even those who have no interest in "goth" or "dark" music will hear why I am so proud of this mix, and so excited by this music.

The mix also features exclusive content from London's based label Disc Error. Disc Error is at the forefront of the burgeoning UK darkwave scene, having emerged from the legendary South-end party Junk Club. Disc Error has almost single handedly redefined the sound of young London with bands such as Ipso Facto, Ulterior, Micron 63 and Factory Floor.

About Passions:
Passions was formed in the summer of 2006 by Brooklyner Ben Deitz, originally incorporating influences as disparate as early 80's punk and industrial to the dance music culture from which Deitz made his name (as former Trouble & Bass wunderkind Math Head). Passions' explosive debut single Emergency, for French tastemaker label Kitsune, swept the dance charts instantly, gaining acclaim from artists, magazines and blogs worldwide, and earning praise from Girl Talk, MSTRKRFT, Simian Mobile Disco, Fischerspooner and more. After perfecting a riotous style of electro punk with a multitude of remixes and chaotic live shows, the sound of Passions has evolved into an outlet for hauntingly bleak post punk explorations that evoke Cabaret Voltaire and Joy Division.

About Mishka:

A New York City fixture, Mishka has spent the past 5 years carving their own way through the often homogenous streetwear world. Developing from a small T-shirt upstart to the now full-blown cut & sew powerhouse, Mishka has become synonymous in the industry with creativity and originality, consistently inspiring (and sometimes offending) with designs that stay true to the D.I.Y./Punk ethos Mishka is well known for. Both nostalgic and forward looking with that unusual ability to influence the influencers, Mishka continues to be the brand to look for and trust to deliver the utmost in quality and design. Mishka’s collections are available worldwide in only the finest shops.
