Blame It On The Rain

1987, Series-A recorded the single “Evolution 5 Technology” at Spectrum Sounds Studio in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. Their set up was a vocoder, E-mu Emulator III, Roland 909 drum machine, and an Otari 24-Track recorder.They landed a record deal with Satellite Records in Burbank, California, which had been founded by Pete Moore of The Miracles. After pressing 50 promotional copies, the label ran into financial problems, and the record never reached a full release. Taking cues Kraftwerk, Grand Master DST, Grandmaster Flash & Jam Master Jay, Series-A created dark electro beats in an era when sampling appeared to be the future of music. Lyrically the song addresses our species' entry into the technological age. For this EP reissue, the 7” Mix and Dub Mix are included on the A-side. On the flip is a new remix by prolific Ann Arbor producer JTC, an alias of Tadd Mullinix (aka Dabrye, SK-1, & Charles Manier). JTC speeds up and expands the song to seven minutes. Drawing on influences from Ron Hardy to Jeff Mills, he drives around suburban techno landscapes while simultaneously launching the listener into deep space.darkentriesrecords · Series-A - Evolution ⁵ Technology 12” PREVIEW CLIPS

Second LP of the founding member of french electronic duo Il Est Vilaine : synth-pop, balearic, featuring Nico Motte from Antinote on synthetizersProducers like Simon Says are rare these days. Imagine a kid born in the first parisian rave era, who played guitar during the week, the head in the sky with diamonds and raving around Paris on saturday night. Leather boots and Techno, with attitude. These school of hard knocks was helpful for Simon : more than twenty years after the beginning of his electronic journey, he's still able to play an edgy techno-set or some tunes to make the girls dance on the floor. Knives or flowers, heavy rhythms and tropical kisses... Between groovy oddballs records released on Dialect Recordings and his Il Est Vilaine side-project duo, Simon can talk to everyone.His first album, " Epoca Blu ", 10 tracks as introspective as much solar, sing in different languages by several voices (Manthos Kaloumenos who recite the words of a famous greek poet on " Taxidi ", Sofia Fanego on " Une Nuit ", Natalia Modenova who say a Ukrainian text from Myhailo Kotsiubynsky on " Intermezzo " or his partner from Il Est Vilaine on " Djinn Tonic ") present a consistent project with a positive melancholy and bittersweet vision of love.The intimate's project assembled in a studio will not be presented in live. Music will be the link between the audience and the artist.
