Various Artists - Five Years Of Iptamenos Discos Various Artists

Five years, 77 artists and countless interstellar transmissions: Iptamenos Discos celebrate their fifth anniversary with a new compilation charting the label’s journey from disco to dark wave and beyond.

Founded in Berlin by DJ and producer duo Local Suicide in 2021, Iptamenos Discos have grown from a creative outlet for their own music into an international platform for forward-thinking electronic sounds. This anniversary compilation brings together some of the best-known and most defining tracks from the label’s first five years.

The release showcases the broad spectrum that has shaped the label’s identity, from Synth Wave, Dark Disco and Italo Disco to Electroclash, Indie Dance, EBM, Post-Punk and Leftfield Pop. While the sound frequently draws inspiration from the electronic underground of the 1980s and 2000s, Iptamenos Discos have always remained firmly rooted in the present, combining nostalgic influences with modern production, genre-defying collaborations and a distinctly cosmic outlook.

The twenty-track CD edition travels even deeper into the catalogue and marks the first physical release for several tracks. These include Wiener Planquadrat’s ‘Austriano Celentano (Tutto Gas)’, Local Suicide and Wiener Planquadrat’s ‘Der Apfel Fällt Nicht Weit Vom Stamm’, Dina Summer’s ‘I Was Always In Love With You’, T.Raumschmiere and Housemeister’s ‘Samstag Nacht’, Captain Mustache, Third Culture and Victoria Rawlins’ ‘Camera Lens With Vaseline’, Alexandra Feusi’s ‘Hello Sunday’ and Oh!’s ‘Alien’ feat. Alexander Price. Opening with Local Suicide’s label manifesto “This Is Iptamenos Discos,” the CD retraces the imprint’s development through key releases by Wiener Planquadrat, Dina Summer, Boys’ Shorts, Skelesys, Psycho Weazel, Curses, Kalipo, Alexandra Feusi, Joshua Murphy, Sissi Rada and many more.

The vinyl edition collects ten essential moments from the catalogue. Several of these tracks have been unavailable on vinyl for years, including Wiener Planquadrat’s ‘Stillstand’, Dina Summer’s ‘Who Am I’, Boys’ Shorts’ ‘New Era’, Kalipo’s ‘Echoes Of The Past’ feat. Local Suicide and Daniele Baldelli and Marco Dionigi’s remix of Dina Summer’s ‘Mars’. Alexandra Feusi’s ‘Hello Sunday’ and Local Suicide and Wiener Planquadrat’s ‘Der Apfel Fällt Nicht Weit Vom Stamm’ appear on vinyl for the very first time.
