Stereocliché Records' debut EP Neon Workout

More talented friends: Hafid, our main Swiss chocolate pusher, unofficial Flashworx manager/adviser/friend and Sweden lover, have set up his own label, called Stereocliché. The musical profile will be pretty broad, but there are some familiar names among the first scheduled releases. The honour of debuting goes to music, analogue synth and video games expert/nerd and producer of cheesy, slightly NSFW videos extraordinaire, Neon Workout. There's also a Flashworx album in the pipelines so look out!

Auxiliary Tha Mastafader + bonus Freak You

At Tracasseur, we like to surround ourselves with talented friends in the hope of some of it rubs off on us. We wrote about Tobbe Azure Blue and his new single yesterday, and another great producer, and great guy in general, is Auke Auxiliary Tha Masterfader. He recently had an EP released on Franck Freak You's (another great guy) On The Fruit label. And even if (or because?) we're knee-deep in the deep house/nu garage trend it's refreshing to hear Aux' blend of retro disco, italo and funk, topped off with a little new wave and even some sprinkles of glam rock. Remix support comes in the form of new acquaintance Phunktastike from Argentina and old acquaintance Worship from Geneva.



As a bonus, here's an Auxiliary remix of Chilean Statickman.



As a second bonus we'll throw in Freak You's remix of Chrome Canyon's "Generations" taken from his remix album out now on Stones Throw (including remixes by Gavin Russom, Chateau Marmont and ATTAR!).

Owl Vision remix of Ghost

Owl Vision just chatted me up about his new remix of one of his favourite metal bands right now Ghost. He has sampled the song "Monstrance Clock" and made it into something else. I like this newer sound from Owl Vision, still dark but also a bit more bouncier. It comes as a free download and it has a little secret twist in the end.



First new single from Azure Blue

He's not only our friend, he's also one of the most talented music composers in Sweden. Azure Blue is the solo project of Tobias Isaksson and with his first album "Rule of Thirds" released two years ago he rose up as a composer with that special touch composing brilliant and dreamy indie pop. The album also got the right attention when the Swedish independent grammy award, Manifest gave it the first prize for Best Pop in 2012.

Now Azure Blue is back with a new album in the coming. So it's time once again to dream ourselves away together with Azure Blue's lovely sound. The first single from the album "Beyond the Dreams There's Infinite Doubt" is the already epic "The Road I Know" that I got to listen as the first person in the world actually a couple of months ago. In this great first release Azure Blue has recruited our love Julia Vero to accompany him. And it's a smart choice because Julia's half-whispering voice really lift the track up even one more level. Once again the proof of a talented composer.
