contenu : <h2>Strapontin + Zillas On acid = Acid Straps</h2> Strapontin and Zillas On Acid are back with a second red hot collaborative EP. Let them tell you all about it…. After completing Acid Straps Vol. I, we knew we had to delve ever deeper into the shared Strapontin-Zillas (Strapozillas?) universe–harder, weirder, wilder. Work commenced as before, with music volleyed across the Atlantic via the information superhighway. Particular yet universal themes emerged with “Dial Up” (modern [mis]communication), “Another Job” (the perils of labor), “Reading Comments” (distraction and the social mediated life), and “In Your Mind” (quick fix platitudes via the self-help industrial complex). <h2>A chance planetary alignment</h2> brought the three of us together IRL in Brussels this past summer to put the finishing touches on the EP while we were all incarnated–TOGETHER–in the same physical space. It’s this raw PHYSICALITY that informs the more focused final release, which we hope will translate to you, the listener, as you carefully experience… Acid Straps Vol. II.

Pedigree EP 30/08/25 - 08:57 info@geometry.be

contenu : <h2>Parisian label La Belle Records returns with a stellar new EP from electronic producer Strapontin</h2> featuring four cuts of brooding & twisted dark disco to house and a remix by Golden Bug. Strapontin is the moniker of French-Belgian producer Patrick Belmont, a musical talent who arrived on the scene last year and has been builidng a solid reputation since with his personal take on the sounds of the underground. Releases on Germany’s I’m Single and a self released record, the ‘Carbon EP’ were both extremely well received and laid the groundwork for this, his debut on the ever excellent La Belle imprint. The EP opens with the wonky, slo-mo strains of ‘Offbeat’, a spacious and hypnotic chugger that sees sweeping synths and an incessant morse code like stab pattern provide the base for some ghostly and discordant vocals. The tempo lifts for ‘It’s a Trap’ as Strapontin journeys into techier and housier territory on this floorfilling affair. Vocal contributions from Josell add to the tracks heady intensity as the record slowly builds though its six and a half minute duration, quality stuff. <h2>‘Pedigree’ is a memorable exploration</h2> into the outer realms of pulsing machine made electronica. Brooding vocals, metallic hits and churning bass all combine to bring this cut to life with a real sense of menace. Penultimate offering, ‘Les Yeux de la Tete’ is a nine minute plus workout of crunchy drums, bleeps, squeaks and percussive hits peppered with obscure melodic refrains and spoken vocals. Finally we have the Golden Bug remix of opener ‘Offbeat’ which see the French remixer bring his own ethereal and melodic take on things. Live bass, heavy tape delay and swirling FX all seal the deal as this mix works its way under your skin. This is a standout EP from Strapontin and La Belle Records and is sure to turn heads over the summer months.Pedigree by Strapontin is a cross between a slow buzzing drone and a rough techno project. An original soundtrack for a thriller movie that is happening IN YOUR HEAD. Strapontin is a soldier of the House Nation digging his secret burrow very deep, waiting for you in there with a cup of tea and nail polish, thinking that one day he will be a trashy rockstar. Tracklist: 1. Offbeat 2. It’s a Trap (feat Josell) 3. Pedigree 4. Les Yeus de la Tete 5. Offbeat (Golden Bug remix)

contenu : <h2>My Favorite Robot storms into 2019 with a fantastic EP</h2> from new recruits Concret & Strapontin, with remixes from Zombies in Miami, Olsvanger, Mijo Ultra and Future Feelings. Belgian producer, dancer, visual artist and performer Strapontin brings post punk, downtempo and dark disco vibes to his music. He has released on the likes of Optimo, Nein and I’m A Cliche and is also part of various collectives as well as being a busy soundtrack composer. His singular style is showcased here on two fantastic new tracks that find him link with Trafico label boss and rising production star, Concret. The opener ‘Abengazinoe’ is a tripped out bit of cosmic deep disco. Spacious and absorbing, it has broad, painterly pads up top and more tight and menacing drums and hits below. Brilliantly muscular from start to finish, it is charismatic body music of the highest order. Remixing are the Zombies in Miami duo from Mexico, whose dark and energetic sounds come on labels like the cult Comeme. They flip it into something more uplifting, with bright hits and twinkling keys up top as the bassline chugs away beneath it all. Next up from Concret & Strapontin is ‘Resilienza,’ seven standout minutes of cinematic music that takes you on a real audio adventure. The mid-tempo drums are deep, and whispered vocals bring real intimacy while a rugged bassline and jumbled percussion makes you want to move. It is something that pairs darkness with melodic light and as such is a truly absorbing listen. Tel Aviv rising star Olsvanger then remixes and slows things down, zoning you out with his tense, layered up synths, sci-fi effects and another snaking bassline that takes you deep down the rabbit hole. Another Mexican producer then steps up in Mijo, with his edgy drum machines and malfunctioning sequencers. The Correspondant and Her Majesty’s Ship associate serves up a superb Ultra Dub that stays low, with corrugated bass and wonky drums making for a brilliantly off-kilter groove that’s littered with filtered and freaky voices. Last of all, Mexican Future Feelings, whose music is a recreation of space-disco, electro-funk and retro-futuristic sounds inspired by 70’s synths, reworks the track into an expansive bit of electronic music with floating drums and a lofty groove that is coloured with intergalactic pads. Tracklist: 1. Abnegazione 2. Abnegazione (Zombies in Miami remix) 3. Resilienza 4. Resilienza (Olsvanger Remix) 5. Resilienza (Mijo Ultra Dub) 6. Resilienza (Futurefeelings Remix) This is a brilliantly inventive package that rewires disco from a bunch of totally new perspectives.

contenu : <h2>Strapontin + Zillas On acid = Acid Straps</h2> Strapontin and Zillas On Acid have both previously had a release on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce. After becoming aware of Philadelphia’s Zillas, Belgium’s Strapontin got in touch with them and suggested a collaboration. Strapontin says “I got totally attracted by that psychedelic rave vibe and asked to work together and see where our virtual meeting could lead us. Distant work was very simple, fluid and fun.” Strapontin describes this release as “uninhibited, positively messy and pure rave fun”. Zillas On Acid say “these tracks are the opposite of subtle, the sonic equivalent of a VCR biting your hand.” They are both right.
