Dark Entries is honored to release a 4-track EP by Red Axes, the prolific production
duo of Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi from Tel Aviv. The pair were raised on a diet of
post-punk, new-wave, and Italo-disco at fogged out warehouse and basement parties.
Their own productions and remixes have appeared on labels such as IÆm a Cliche,
Correspondant, and Hivern Discs. æNyx TapeÆ features two new compositions backed with
two edits from our catalog. First up is the slick electro anthem ô5 Minö another
collaboration with French-Canadian born singer Chloe Raunet aka C.A.R. Followed by
ôNyx Tapeö featuring charismatic singer-lyricist Gina Kikoine aka Gina X, who reached
out after hearing their remix of her classic single ôNo GDMö that was a huge anthem
on the Tel Aviv 80s underground scene. The track is an ecstatic dance to the rhythm
in the darkness with GinaÆs ice cold Teutonic spoken word taking creative inspiration
from the Jewish MournersÆ Prayer û The Kaddish. On the B-side ôDestination Moonö by
Solid Space from 1982 has been given a dancefloor makeover with moody synths and a
haunting guitar line reminiscent of an Adrian Sherwood dub. Closing this EP is a
hypnotic edit of ôLa Machine ß Reverö by French bedroom synth freaks X-Ray Pop from
1984 slowed down to a 4/4 groove that takes the original to outer space and back. All
songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The
EP is housed in a custom made jacket that features an original collage by Eloise
Leigh representing Nyx, the Greek goddess of the night. Each copy included a postcard
with notes and lyrics.
