ANTONIO Vinyl & CDs

Review: He's appeared on labels like Marguerite, Natural Sciences and Orloff, now Antonio Barbetta (aka Raw Ambassador) can add Seville's Another Perspective to the list with four tracks of raw electro on the Aquatica EP. There's the majestic tones of 'Never Ending Dreams' commencing the EP on side A followed by the alien computer funk of 'Too Many Trouble In This System'. Turn over to side B and the hypnotic chimes of 'The Never Ending Troubles' provide more underground quality, followed by more Drexciyan style beats on the analogue bass attack of 'Auftrag'.

Review: The second Off Topic release is another various artist affair from this promising Lisbon-based label. Pir returns with two tracks on the A-side, our favourite being the quirky minimal tech funk of 'Amiddle', while over on the flip it's all about label head Antonio Nunes with the contemplative afterhours redux of 'Creme' and the emotive late night deepness of 'Tony Transmitters' in collaboration with Luhk & Pir.
