The record features three of their darkest and most powerful originals to date, alongside striking reworks from French electroclash pioneer David Carretta and rising Greek EBM force Alpha Sect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe ‘Houdini’ EP took shape in Local Suicide’s Berlin studio during countless late-night sessions with Skelesys, the same creative period that gave rise to their joint hit ‘Moustache’, the ‘Surface Of The Sun’ EP and ‘Faster Faster’ on Curses’ ‘Next Wave Acid Punx’ compilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe result is their darkest material yet, pushing their techno disco sound into heavier territory with hypnotic basslines, industrial textures and analogue vintage synths, making it one of the boldest records in the Iptamenos Discos catalogue to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe EP opens with ‘Obsessions’, a song in between darkwave and techno, built around a brutal bassline, analogue synths and stark vocal mantras. The repeated line \u003ci\u003e“Obsessions, they come and go” \u003c\/i\u003emirrors the tune’s relentless pull and its looping, claustrophobic energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e‘Submission’, a collaboration with long-term collaborator Skelesys, matches its intensity with a brooding low end and distorted, heavily processed vocals. The chant \u003ci\u003e“Resistance, no submission” \u003c\/i\u003eruns through the track like a declaration of defiance, turning tension into power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe title track ‘Houdini’ is slightly more accessible while keeping the same shadowed atmosphere. Haunting organ melodies and the lyric \u003ci\u003e“The great Houdini, the big escape” \u003c\/i\u003eevoke transformation and release, paying homage to the legendary illusionist while adding a theatrical edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrench legendary DJ \/ producer David Carretta reimagines ‘Obsessions’ with his signature retro-futurist touch. Known for fusing industrial precision with Italo-inspired synths since the 1990s, he brightens the track with shimmering disco melodies and an uplifting tone, creating a version that contrasts with the original’s darkness while making it instantly dancefloor-ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eStrasbourg-based Alpha Sect, the project of Greek artist George McCall, takes ‘Submission’ into uncompromising dimensions. Rooted in electro and body music with punk influences, his remix starts as a heavy EBM stomper before evolving into a club-ready track that balances intensity with release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iptamenos Discos","offers":[{"title":"12\" - Transparent Clear","offer_id":53722742456651,"sku":"R7886-4898","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a4167122540_10.jpg?v=1761325035"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/local-suicide.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
