Daniel Martin-McCormick proved to be one of the more diverse artists of 2011, what with the genius punk and post-hardcore of Mi Ami and Black Eyes, moving into dark synthetic pop with his solo project Sex Worker, and finally into messy/perfect, flat out twisted derivative-dancefloor anthems with Ital.
Early 2011 saw the release of “Ital’s Theme” his debut as Ital and also the very first release out on Amanda Brown’s (LA Vampires / Pocahaunted) dance label 100% Silk. With echoes of Omar S, this orgiastic eight minute jam of interlocking arpeggiating synth-lines, gurgling bass and gnarled high-hats has made everyone from the mainstream UK dance press to the Tumblr underground sit up and pay attention.
Fast-forward to today and Ital is at the forefront of the US underground’s excursions into the world of forward-thinking backward-looking house & techno. Recognising Martin-McCormick’s talent and depth, the legendary Planet Mu have signed him for his first full length effort, ‘Hive Mind’, to be released in February 2012.
Catch Ital playing his only live show at The Phoenix Public House, Melbourne – Friday 27th Jan sharing the stage with Kangaroo Skull (My Disco side project) as well as NO ZU, Forces and interstitial selectors the Plastic Champagne DJs (including members of Waves At Night).
Tickets on sale through moshtix.
You can also catch an Ital DJ set at Love Tempo #4 at Buffalo Club, Melbourne, this Wednesday Australia Day Eve.
Expect the usual assortment of balearic bangers, deep house, disco edits, confetti showers, blankets of dancefloor fog and party punch galore.
More deluxe Dark Dance tunes courtesy of Melbourne’s P.C.P. (Luke Brown). Earlier on in the year we posted both his track ‘Piza‘ and the fantastic ethnographically confused ‘Shebeen Mix‘.
P.C.P. will also debut his live show alongside Miles Brown from the Nighterrors, Matthew Brown, Morgan (WORNG, The Emergency) and a few others for a late night music series happening on the 21st of January, 2012. More details yet to come.
Here’s the soundcloud as well.
Antoni Maiovvi (the italo alias of Anton Maiof) came to my attention after seeing a remix credit pop up by Melbourne’s own dark, theremin-laden electronic act, The Night Terrors.
This HI-NRG-italo anthem comes off his ‘Hot Biology’ 12″, and comes with the equally as energetic flip ‘Spinning In Cyberspace’.
