Premiere: Furotica – Rebirth Is Hardwired (Leitstrahl Remix)

Hot on the heels of ‘Future Is Your Love‘ by KIKO & David Carretta, Lyon-based record label Mélopée returns with ‘Rebirth Is Hardwired‘, a high-voltage debut album from Furotica, the freshly minted alias of Argentine duo Barbie Garbage & Ric Piccolo.

Previously known as Furor Exótica, the duo shed their former skin to reveal a sleeker, more menacing incarnation. One where vintage synth-wave collides headfirst with razor-edged Italo-disco, wired tight with a delirious, psychedelic charge. Across one original cut and a trio of remixes, ‘Rebirth Is Hardwired‘ calls in reinforcements from Slow Motion mainstay Franz Scala, Athens-based sound sculptor Kay-Chi and the cosmic disco voyagers Leitstrahl.

Our pick from the release is Leitstrahl’s reinterpretation of ‘Rebirth Is Hardwired‘  – a neon-drenched trip through mechanised reverie, where disco’s shimmering futurism meets the sweat-soaked pulse of a subterranean clubbing séance. The track opens with a prowling kick, its syncopated femme vocals dripping with puzzling unease before unraveling into a full-scale synth odyssey, fractured arpeggios ricocheting through the galaxy, basslines bouncing like spectral echoes from a long-lost dancefloor utopia.

‘Rebirth Is Hardwired‘ is scheduled for release 7th February via Mélopée. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
