Rejoicing in the return of Ombra

Rejoicing in the return of Ombra, of course cancelled in 2020 with COVID, the lads from WE FORFEIT have scoured their collections to bring the festival to those who couldn’t make it there this year. Robbie gets the ball rolling with the veteran synth pop of Belgium’s Parade Ground and Italo Moderni’s Adrian Marth. Pinkman Records was well represented at Ombra with label boss Marsman curating the Operater stage. The imprint’s back catalog it plumbed for this special before homegrown talent takes center stage with El Aviador Dro and Valis on Oraculo Records.

Credit00 and June cross Robbie and Chris’ selections. Chris links his Scottish hometown with Madrid as he serves up Broken English Club’s scorched and serrated version of Esplendor Geometrico of “Rotor” released on Glasgow’s Contort Yourself.

Spain is well represented in this month’s show. We’re back to Madrid, or should I say Valencia now, with Frigio Records and some serious edit action from Juanpablo, Sneaker and Vinilette as well as Clock DVA’s brooding remix of Pragma. Barcelona’s adopted son, Neud Photo, offers an electro respite with the smouldering Indeks before Chris offers Iberian imprints like Brokntoys, Fill-lex Records and Soil.

The mood lightens as Minimal Wave maestro Das Ding offers three cold muzak productions taken from his Tear Apart Tapes label. Amin Peck, who sadly wasn’t at the festival, leads us out with his italo-wave “Suicidal.”
