about

Feel the Drive launches a new label with a four-track EP. First there were the parties, then came the radio shows, and now the label. Szymek Lawik and Martin Lefteri spend their lives digging up Italo, New Beat and EBM delights, so a record label was a logical progression. It’s the perfect distillation of their combined tastes and determination to search for new music. The four-track debut EP features Franz Scala (Bahnsteig 23, Tusk Wax, Cocktail d'Amore), Anatolian Weapons (Beats in Space, Dark Entries), Furor Exótica (Bordello a Parigi, Sprechen) and the label heads themselves under their Ondata guise (Red Laser, Night Noise Music).

First up is Franz Scala, with “Sabrina”. A pulsing, new beat thrum bolts out of the gate, setting the pace with conviction. This straight-ahead velocity leans to guitar licks and Italo horn stabs, before you know it, you’re transported - hugging the curves and corners along with the motorik rhythm. Shifting down a gear , the EP heads east with “Ela” as Anatolian Weapons light up the skies with slow-burning intensity delivered with conviction. Exotic synth melodies, dextrous string playing and rolling acid lines carve out a unique path through the terrain, leaving no choice but to follow in its slipstream.

Argentinian duo Furor Exótica pick up the pace with “Fat Training”, an arpeggio-supercharged dancer guaranteed to lift the spirits and recharge the batteries come 3am. This track carries its momentum up front and its boogie in the back. Closer “Kolossos” is an apt moniker for this no-nonsense, heads-down monster. It’s a neon-lit tunnel late at night, alien light throwing repetitive, yet slowly shifting shapes against sheer walls as you move through. “It’s not as bad for humankind to be dominated by me than to be dominated by others of your species” a voice intones as we reach our destination. It’s metal machine music to save us from ourselves.
