Gatefold double LP version with printed inner sleeves and inlay. Limited to 350 copies. Dusty Kid follows his 2013 album III (ISOLA 001CD) with the astonishing Not So Green Fields, a magical journey that stands as his most human and mature work to date. Dusty Kid found his muse in his beloved island, Sardinia, around which he crafts a fantastical, heartfelt, moving narrative. "Not So Green Fields is a story that I've had inside of me for a while," says Dusty Kid. "It is the story of a visitor from a cold northern country who spends a two-week holiday on the island... I introduce him to the land where I was lucky enough to be born." The symphonic percussion and jungle voices of "We are the Troglodytes" precede the launeddas, an ancient Sardinian woodwind instrument, that appears on "Innu." "Fura Prana" floats between the desperate melody of a piano crying for freedom and epic sounds that recall '70s Jarre. On "Masua", the listener jumps into the Sea of Sardinia, following the melody of a sinuous voice from the depths. One voice becomes many, and they intertwine, majestic and psychedelic, to spring from the waters into the sky. At this point, this is no longer a dance album, but a work of pure '70s British progressive rock. The beat continues to slow for the moving "Durke," an uncommonly beautiful ballad that evolves around pop guitars, rock drums, and an emotional mantra sung in Sardinian. On "The Arsonist," which tackles the island's arson problem, dance music returns, but far from typical techno. The track delves into '90s trance, reminiscent of rave parties and the legendary Jam & Spoon. The pathos peaks with "Doa," an emotional, melancholic track drenched in spaghetti western magic to honor Dusty Kid's idol, Ennio Morricone. The cinematic postcard of "Gairo Vecchio 38°C" is an unexpected visit to an abandoned little town under the moon, with a delicate piano-and-trumpet duet over singing crickets. "Arvéschida" is 135 BPM of pure poetry that blends the most entrancing techno with the most lysergic trance. It's a flock of seagulls seen from a hang-glider, pure hedonistic and methamphetaminic emotion. Closer "Not So Green Fields" reflects Dusty Kid's passion for American folk music, in an ode to Sardinia, its warm summers, and its blue sky. Dusty Kid steps away from modern techno trends with mastery and confidence, exploring diverse territories in a powerfully cohesive album.

ISOLA 004EP
|
Dusty Kid follows his 2013 album III (ISOLA 001CD) with an homage to his native land, Sardinia, touching upon an issue that haunts the island every summer: arson. "The Arsonist Part 2" delves into '90s trance, reminiscent of rave parties and the legendary Jam & Spoon. The pathos peaks with "Doa," an emotional, melancholic track drenched in spaghetti western magic, honoring Dusty Kid's idol, Ennio Morricone. The balearic notes of "Serpentara" recall the likes of "Sueño Latino," 1988's summer of love, and Ibiza, when ravers needed a break from hysteric acid house in favor of softer and dreamier sounds.

The new Isolade release by Dusty Kid is a strictly Sardinian affair (all involved artists are from Sardinia) with tracks and remixes as varied as the island itself. In a playtime of 32 minutes you will experience magical, ambient, pushing, chilling or rough moments depending on the track/mix you hear. From the dancefloor hit "Omega X" to the rough and dry version of the same track remixed by Claudio PRC and from the reduced but spheric Hubble remix of "Escape" to the gorgeous and epic Saffron Keira reinterpretation of "Sandalyon."

Dusty Kid is back with another highlight -- two of his best album tracks and two new, fresh tracks have found their way onto this Isolade release. With "Doom" and "Arachnotron," you will meet the straight, clear and uncompromising side of Dusty Kid, which can be described as dark techno with have a certain Berghain feeling. On the flip you will listen to the indefinable and impalpable side of the Kid, featuring deep musical abysses.

BOXER 096EP
|
Dusty Kid's The Anatome EP Vol.1 from 2007 was played madly in clubs around the globe at that time and even more many years later. These tracks come back to life here, remixed by Dusty Kid and Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai from Raster-Noton). While the Dusty Kid remix of "Kore" is an incredibly atmospheric but straight dancefloor pusher that seems to come straight out of Moria (the cave of the dwarves in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings), Alva Noto presents you to 300 ft. tall high-voltage electricity towers. You can almost feel the prickle on your skin with deep, cross-layered strings.

III -- Dusty Kid's third album -- is a cinematic experience of almost two hours listening conceived as a single piece of music, like a wall of bricks that strictly belong to each other to give the whole album a well-defined story. The album, mixed by using a few different vintage consoles and recording everything on a reel-to-reel tape in order to get a more alive and lo-fi result, moves toward a very underground feeling. There are no easy-listening melodies, but it rather sounds like a saga of dirty, confused, delirious, sometimes bizarre and ridiculous, very dark techno moments. III recalls a noir-horror-fantasy movie. The sinister calm of the opening, made of the leftfield acid ambient landscapes and industrial noises of the first four tracks, announces that something is going to happen and leads the listener into a further level of the game where entrance is initially restrained by a man at the door, "He Won't Let You In." Then comes "Leather Bears Cinematic Suite." The five-track "suite" is a deep journey into '90s techno with its first track, "Doom," being an almost metallurgical hell as the listener climbs the stairs that will lead him into the main scene. "Pandemonium" and "Dark Room" really seem to drive the listener inside a wonderfully-painted idea of what's going on in there. As the listener takes the "Exit 12," the journey goes even deeper into the '90s techno sound. "Yota Wave" is in fact a skillfully grotesque recreation of a futuristic techno trance experimentalism of the early Plus 8 records. "In the Wood" sounds like a track recorded from the radio with a poor quality cassette, the triad "Prelude," "Omega Y," and "Omega X" flow into each other, but in a concentric way, as if they were part of a single planetary system. "Escape" follows in the same key as the previous triad with a flying ethereal atmosphere followed by a massive tribal anthem as "Idklip" simply explodes. "Ending" leads the listener to the light at the end of this journey.

BOXER 086EP
|
"Polybolo" is a monster that drags you into the abyss and hits the dancefloor like an avalanche. Dusty Kid starts the survival training that every raver who calls himself professional should have passed in the acid shower. "Polybolo" reveals the pure longing of archaic natural forces only by means of pure synthetic tools. And in case you are not such a hard-raving member of society, you will find your satisfaction in Popof's stripped-down monster groove remix of "Argia" on the flipside.

Paolo Alberto aka Dusty Kid loves travelling, no matter whether it is a trip through his own sensuous spheres of experience (like on his solo debut album A Raver's Diary in 2009), or a real road movie. Beyond That Hill takes the straight bass drum out of the club and plants it on the roadside. Beats are rushing past like power poles, a fresh breeze is blowing in your face, both literally and figuratively, and in front of you there is nothing but the vast horizon, a shimmering dance of coordinates. Dusty Kid wanders through luscious, epic landscapes of sounds. Hence, it is not surprising that some of his tracks hit the 10-minute mark without being tiring or exhaustive. You will rather find yourself gliding above the sounds, yet still close enough to admire all the wonderful details, and high enough to get a good view. The sounds are far more than just pure metaphysical mumbling or a series of meaningless loops and effects. The opener "Nora Nights" already starts at a tight pace, yet with a well-defined and delicately-balanced structure and ambience. Every single second, every single sound bit is essential. On "Jknoussa," Dusty Kid first plays the Grand Canyon tourist at the coin slot telescope; then, in the 14-minute floor-hugger "Argia," he turns into the adventurous mountaineer climbing between the jagged rocks along the abyss, suspended between heaven and earth, yet absorbing both at the same time. A little break at the campfire offers "Chentu Mizas" and "Beyond That Hill" with a rhythm guitar that invokes the ancestors under the moonlight, and helps you to get mentally prepared for "Polybolo" -- the monster that drags the mountaineer into the abyss, and hits the dancefloor like an avalanche. Gone are the friendly and crackling nostalgic sounds where vocals and strings were exchanging soft cotton balls -- now, the time has come to start the survival training that every raver who calls himself professional should have passed in the acid shower. Constant knocking wears the stone: like the peak bagger who finds himself awe-struck by the earth's elemental forces, "Polybolo" reveals the pure longing, the archaic natural forces, only by means of pure synthetic tools. But soon after, the traveller gets his guitar back from "Cheyenne," peaceful and organic, but still pushing, thanks to precise footwork and a superbly-arranged frequency spectrum. And finally, "That Hug" pulls out all the stops again to sensibly recapitulate the way the audience has travelled so far. With grand gesture and universal aspiration, this unique and unforgettable trip comes to an end. And once again, Dusty Kid proves that he is the master of the album format. An ideal mix tape for some, highly imaginative cinema for others, but the result is always the same: it is a story to dance to, a road musical for adventurous people.

Dusty Kid presents an unusual acoustic near-death experience: Argia is the name of a spider indigenous to Sardegna. In Sardinian culture, there is a traditional dance that represents the various states of Argia poisoning, and it is used as an antidote against the spider bite. Dusty Kid comes up with a contemporary version: the slow-acting poison gradually builds up, creating hallucinating sound experiences until a trance and paralyzed state is reached. One-sided, limited, 180 gram vinyl.

This is the hotly-anticipated full-length debut release by Italy's Paolo Alberto Lodde aka Dusty Kid aka one-half of Duoteque. Do you still remember the moment when you first stepped into the warehouse, right into the fog, and into the churning eye of the dancefloor? Do you still remember the first bass drum, the first break, the first strobe flash? Dusty Kid does, and celebrates the club folklore of rave kitsch on Raver's Diary, for those who remember and for those who wish they did. This record wears its heart on its sleeve, without any minimal-technocratic business. The music he creates is great sound cinema, always direct and focused. "Here Comes Techno" and "The Underground Persistence" pushes the dancer right in the middle of the dancefloor, heading towards the first peak. The sound quickly turns into banging synth attacks and marching beats that end in the psychotic glissandi of "Lynchesque" and its high bass wave. "Klin," and its unexpected, flashing emotionality stops the free-fall, and almost unnoticeably shifts the direction of the whole album. "Cowboys," for example, used to be a B-side track, a kind of wallflower. On A Raver's Diary, it has become a secret hit: a smooth, magnetic organ fest with a catchy bass that will kick you off your chair. The spherical sequencer techno of "Moto Perputuo" pays homage to the great melodies of the past which have been pimped up with an incomparable and innovative bass design. "The Fugue" is Dusty Kid's approach to weirdo instrumental pop music, and "Pluk" and "America," too, do not shy away from any productive risk: the first is a tribalist club smasher, the bone-breaker from the fog; the latter is a melancholic magnum opus, and even the hardest raver will be stunned by its emotional power. "Agaphes" is a style-study in two parts, and "Nemur (Walls Of Guitars)" is the pop gem, the great techno chanson, and the best farewell you can imagine. A Raver's Diary is an album for any DJ: the perfect mix tape, the soundtrack to the ultimate party that everyone is talking about.

Dusty Kid presents a taste of rave kitsch or club folklore for those who have been around since the very beginning -- for it is the moment when the journey starts that is the vital experience. The first track is from his Raver's Diary full-length, and both tracks illustrate a convincing power which is nourished by pure, unfiltered experience and passion. "Lynchesque" is high magic, and "Train No.1" is a high-calorie rave dessert.
