Dark Entries Records

a moment of psychosis in the liminal space between being and becoming, navigating transformations between reality and illusion, beauty and distortion, inviting us to immerse ourselves in their depth. Sunfear “Bright and Wild” video by XWÎN https://www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/music/vinyl/ep/sunfear-all-at-once/

thank you David Lynch for sharing your incredibly unparalleled talent with us, an inspiration for eternity ❤️‍🔥🦉🪵 “I believe life is a continuum, and that no one really dies, they just drop their physical body and we’ll all meet again, like the song says. It’s sad but it’s not devastating if you think like that. Otherwise I don’t see how anybody could ever, once they see someone die, that they’d just disappear forever and that’s what we’re all bound to do. I’m sorry but it just doesn’t make any sense, it’s a continuum, and we’re all going to be fine at the end of the story.” - David Lynch

Cosey and Chris reflect on the musical lives of Thomas Leer and Robert Rental, playing an important role by signing them to Industrial Records, and providing them with the equipment needed to record their seminal album, The Bridge, in 1979. We just reissued Robert Rental’s 1979 album of demos ‘Mental Detentions’ recorded in the same London living room with borrowed equipment from Throbbing Gristle. robertrental.bandcamp.com/

It’s easy to find Spanish pop but harder to find the deep Mexican electronic pop cuts from the 80’s. Often many of these groups have such hard to find releases we will likely never afford originals. The Back Up uno and dos series collects rare, influential and hard to find early Mexican new wave/synth/tecno pop from 1980-89. Truly a dream come true! There also includes previously unreleased cuts and the first time many of these songs appear on vinyl. @lostandfound_sj

🇺🇸 “The heavenly choir got a mighty boost just before Christmas by Sylvester’s (September 6, 1947 - December 16, 1988) death at 42 from AIDS complications. Sylvester, swept up by the birth of gay lib, became the most incandescent male vocalist in gay disco with an unearthly falsetto that seemed to belong to another world, his voice was a celebration and a communal exhortation. He brought the panic and gospel of the church to beat boxes and discos, and looked bold and outrageous and sounded as explosive as a queen kicking a closet door off its hinges with a stiletto heel.” 📖 Adam Block, “The Sound of Silence,” Advocate (January 31, 1989) footage of Sylvester and Patrick Cowley performing “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” on Hot City Disco in September 1978 #whatisrememberedlives

One of the all time Italo Disco club classics: My Mine - ‘Hypnotic Tango’ back in stock! 🪩 🇮🇹 My Mine were the trio of Stefano Micheli (vocals, keyboards), Carlo Malatesta (vocals, keyboards), and Danilo Rosati (drums, keyboards) formed from the ashes of Italian New Wave group Ipnotico Tango in 1982. They shifted focus from the experimental post punk sounds towards something more commercial with which to try and enter the market, namely to make a record. At that time Carlo was studying in Bologna and he had heard about producer and arranger Mauro Malavasi famous at that time for the many hits produced for Macho, Peter Jacques Band, Change, Luther Vandross, Ritchie Family. The group handed Malavasi a demo tape and four days later they were invited to Fonoprint Studios to record their first single, “Hypnotic Tango”. Utilizing new electronic instruments like the now legendary Roland TB-303, Danilo improvised a simple but effective synthesizer bass line and passed it through the Roland Echo until something magical came out. “Hypnotic Tango” was released on Progress Record in 1983 and became an international hit across Europe and US dance clubs in New York, Detroit and Chicago, capturing the imagination of House and Techno producers. In 1987 the legendary Frankie Knuckles remixed “Hypnotic Tango” at Seagrape Studios in Chicago, with assistance from studio engineers Tommy White and Brett Wilcotts. Originally released on Danica Records as the “Powerhouse Mix” paying tribute to the Windy City club atmosphere and adding his own “sighs” in the track as well. The Hypnotic Remix This reissue presents 4 mixes of “Hypnotic Tango” including the “Hypnotic Mix” only appearing together once before in 1990 on Rams Horn Records. All songs are remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The vinyl comes housed in a jacket with original artwork and includes an insert with photos and liner notes by Stefano Micheli. “Look
