Les Yeux Orange

Multi-billion Owners Federated Oligarchs (M.O.F.Os) are rayleigh's sworn enemies. He hates them and has been doing so for a long time. Every aspect of life that rayleigh enjoys has been either destroyed or spoiled by their so called progress and their famished quest for profit.

In an age when state propaganda and mass media are the same thing, roots rock archeology and hacking are the only ways to access quality information. Good thing, that was rayleigh's crafts before he became the engineer aboard the Kizi 404 spaceship.

He's one of the last earthlings capable of it and the old school way please, with his sweat and senses, not flying a f***in’ drone from his couch.

Digging up secrets of forgotten rebels and archives of Le Monde Diplomatique put him on every mega-corporation’s lists of men to shoot on sight but fleeing Earth with the Kizi404 compadres gave him hope that his wish of shoving the American Dream up every M.O.F.O’s ass could one day become true.

Pineapple Records welcomes one of the most exciting voices to emerge from the European underground with Ganzo - a bouncing 5-tracker from HLRTY, aka Francesco Cigna. Out the 9th May, Ganzo is a love letter to the club - raw, rhythm-focused, and precision-built for sweaty basements and late night missions.

A rising force on the European circuit, HLRTY has already appeared on lineups alongside Ehua, Main Phase, and recently went B2B with the Was A Be for their explosive set at Bunker (Turin) as part of Outlook Festival’s 2025 club tour. He made waves with his Rinse FM guest mix for Pineapple, and has gained tastemaker support from the likes of Piezo, Hassan Abou Alam, and Coido. His 2022 4-track EP RUDE earned critical acclaim across the Milan scene, further cementing his rep as one to watch.

Originally from Palermo, Sicily but now based in Bologna, HLRTY represents the next-gen energy surging through Italy’s club underground. As co-founder of the asterisco collective, he’s spent the last few years building a name for himself with high-octane sets and genre-fluid productions that channel UK club sensibilities through an unmistakably Italian lens. Think distorted electro, booming Jersey percussion, rolling breakbeats, footwork workouts and razor-edged UK bass.

A chance backstage meeting in Bologna between HLRTY and Pineapple boss Sam Binga led to an impromptu demo swap - and Ganzo was born. These tracks have been a mainstay in Sam’s sets ever since, now ready to tear up dancefloors worldwide.

From the kinetic drum flex of the opener to twitchy basslines and speaker-shaking bounce, Ganzo is uncompromising club gear with heart. Built for movement, shaped by years behind the decks, and grounded in a deep understanding of what drives a dancefloor.

HLRTY shares:

“This EP came together after a spontaneous chat with Sam Binga in Bologna. It’s raw and unfiltered - made for the club, by someone who lives for the club. There’s no overthinking, just instinct, energy and a search for the right sound. Ganzo means something cool, clever, on point, and that’s the energy I hope people feel in these tracks.”

With releases on Burro Studio, asterisco, and now Pineapple, HLRTY continues to carve a path that’s distinctly his own. Ganzo is sweaty, sub-heavy, and bursting with rhythm - an underground record from a producer who knows exactly what makes a crowd move.

Italo Moderni proudly welcomes CLOSE PROXIMITY, the London-based duo, for their debut EP on the label a bold and genre-blurring release that cuts through with precision.

The four-track EP is a heady blend of ‘90s progressive influences, New beat grit, and forward-thinking techno.

Opening with Internal Vision, CLOSE PROXIMITY sets the tone: a driving, electrified cut that channels their core influences into a tense groove. It’s a statement track —urgent, layered, and unmistakably theirs.

Eclipse follows, leaning into a Belgian electro aesthetic with a rolling, chugged-out rhythm that simmers with dark energy.

The third track Euphoria Inside a shadowy trip that dives deeper into the duo’s moodier instincts, revealing their flair for a darker atmosphere.

Closing the EP is Project Realities, a track with deep spacey pads and a utopian vibe giving this final cut an expansive touch — all while keeping that signature chug intact.

Groovy, dubby hip-hop. High energy horn sections. Lively messages worth listening to. Degs: ‘Colour souls, colour hearts, colour everything, colour all the shades of gray people have tried burying, celebrate our differences, don't separate on melanin. Try breathing life into your skeleton!’ It’s okay to have regrets. Love one another like sisters and brothers and ‘just put that pedal to the metal and celebrate life’.

Everything Liquid is a brand-new duo formed in LA. This is their first outing, and it speaks to a pair who have some serious studio chops. They have immediately cooked up a highly developed sound that showcases masterful drum programming, a range of organic and synthetic sound designs and great balance between dynamic grooves and musical synths that leave a lasting impression.

The EP opens with 'No Signal' featuring Chicago's Jamaican-American singer-songwriter Jesse Boykins III who has previously featured alongside the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Tiga and Machinedrum. It's a thrilling broken beat cut with punchy rhythms offset by the gorgeous falsetto vocals that bring smoky soul next to expressive synth lines and lush chords. The dub version is pared back to the kinetic beats and meticulous percussion for direct dancefloor action.

The superb 'L A R P' is another masterfully programmed blend of warm, smeared chords and prickly broken beat patterns that sweep you off your feet and 'Time' then gets more deep and late night. Sultry spoken words bring a sense of intimacy to the organic grooves that rise and fall beneath lingering melancholic keys. Finally, 'Airbud' is an almost eight-minute synth symphony that takes you on a journey through widescreen worlds. Some pads flicker like a dodgy light build, some arc up in grandiose fashion and others twinkle like distant stars. It's a trippy place to get lost.

Hailing from Sydney, Jerk Boy has amassed a credible catalogue of modern Disco music, the contents of which can be huddled together under the umbrella of 'music for good times'. He knows exactly how to move floors and his next single featuring Irfane is case on point.

Best known for his collaborative work with Ed Banger mainstay Breakbot who he toured with extensively - Irfane has also worked with Hudson Mowhake and remains a deeply versatile vocalist. Together the duo lay out 'Something Isn't Right'; a classy cut with an easy, free-flowing energy.

A trim and shifty bass line pops and flexes under a finger snapping snare and sixteenth-note shuffles. The groove is effortless as is gently segues through sections of chordal chimes, vocal refrains and flashes of melodic expression with just enough drive and force to keep the vibe buoyant throughout.

A radio edit and an instrumental offer options for DJs who will no doubt pull it for it's fun, addictive and softly rapturous spirit.'

Playful, creative and intelligent, Niklas Wandt weaves a masterfully programmed tapestry of percussive dancefloor delights for Viscera Transmissions 003 with Mehr Phett.

Joyous and bright, Mehr Phett evokes a coconut flavoured sunrise on a distant desert island.

Skilfully intertwining modern drum programming with retroistic instrumentation, Feuerwerk der Rhythmen is a guided tour through the eras of house music and beyond.

Subcutaneous Dance is a whirlpool of interwoven synthesiser melodies. Submarine LFOs guaranteed to get underneath the dermal layer.

Music reorganisation adept Eden Burns flips Mehr Phett on its head, wonky space-toms complete the package.

sonic journey into space and sound. This debut EP from Charlie Levan encompasses experimental and boundary pushing electronic music that resonates on the dance floor and with listeners and connoisseurs of authentically original electronic music that does not follow any boundary. An avant-garde composition of songs and tracks that live beyond the dance floor.
