Cigarettes After Sex frontman Greg Gonzalez had a clear vision for his band’s gorgeously cinematic debut album. After the phenomenal online break-out success of “Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby”, from the band’s debut EP 1, the Brooklyn transplant (originally from El Paso) wanted to project his worldview on to a bigger screen, a broader canvas. As Greg explains, “This is like the novel or feature-length version of Cigarettes. I wanted it to feel like a complete work, where some of the imagery repeats – like it’s all in the same world. It’s very much a fulfilment of the feelings in the short works.”

Oshana returns for her third EP on Partisan with another selection of cosmically- enhanced cuts that match entrancing melodic content with infectious rhythms. From the swirling pads of “Know Thyself” to the bold lead stabs of “Alien Future” to “Lead The Way”s soul-stirring chords, Oshana’s expressive and inventive approach resonates long after you’ve left the dancefloor.

Oshana returns to Partisan with an immaculate transmission that fuses tough techno rhythms with head-twisting psychedelia. She’s on devastating form on this record, rolling out cosmically-inclined arpeggios, sci-fi FX sweeps, heavy pulsing pads and tones and crisp, unrelenting dancefloor rhythms.

Following last year’s Resonate LP, Kashawar returns to Partisan in partnership with Lapucci to present a new project; Ritmo Phantasma. The duo explore a variety of creative approaches to hardware-powered techno, from raw, peak time 4/4 rhythms and modulating synth lines to atmospheric, electro-tinged, acid-sonic exploration

Following his EP for Amazing Stories, Otis makes good on his long time friendship with the Partisan crew via four dazzling cuts of future-minded machine funk. From swinging techno to breakbeat and electro, all glued together by that 909 house vibe, the playful side of Otis’ unique sound masks an understated swagger that will rock the floor wherever it’s played.

Having established Partisan with a bedrock of essential talent, Anthea steps out with her debut EP, full of 909 drum programming, acid synth lines, pads and plenty of swing.

The latest transmission on Partisan brings two fast-rising producers into the spotlight; Ish & Cobert, for a split EP that continues the label’s exploration of stripped-down, psyched-out house and techno.

Lumerians, the San Francisco psych-rock powerhouse that previously counted The Soft Moon's Luis Vasquez as a member, has a new record, The High Frontier.
