We need your help. Please take a moment to read the below.

Ransom Note is a small, independent publication run by a team of five. We have been in operation for ten years and cannot recall a time as turbulent for the music community in all respects. As the world begins to reopen there is positivity and progress in sight for some. However, for others, like ourselves, that isn’t quite the case as of yet.

We operate independently, based on good will and with our own money. Ransom Note’s only significant and primary source of income otherwise comes from from festival and event partnerships. As such we have incurred significant losses and sadly now have some serious concerns about our stability and future as a publication.

We’ve always done our best to humbly represent our culture, focussing on uplifting those around us and working together to make things better. We strive to make music honest and representative of the hard working people who listen to us and read our publication.

We hope that you have found value in this and that we can continue to do so in the future.

If you believe in what we do, like the music and culture we represent and support, please consider subscribing to our Patreon campaign.

Thank you & love, it means a lot!

Franz Scala announces debut album on Bordello A Parigi and Slow Motion

Eighties Italo rhythms with modern sensibilities from the Slow Motion boss.

Italian DJ and producer Franz Scala has announced the release of his debut album Mondo Della Notte, a joint release between his own Slow Motion imprint and Amsterdam label and record shop Bordello A Parigi.

Known for his eighties fuelled releases, indebted to the roots of Italo but crafted with modern sensibilities, Scala has released previous works for the likes of Bahnsteig 23 and Mechatronica White, as well as his Italian-centric Slow Motion and Bordello A Parigi; the labels who present his first long player, with support from Berlin imprint and venue Sameheads.

Translating as ‘World Of The Night’, the 8-track album harks back to the past whilst looking to the future in its mesmerising synth work and driving rhythms. Across the release, synthwave meets psychedelic disco and Chicago house jams sit alongside steady proto-house and new beat vocals, all aimed at the dance floor or driving on an Italian highway.

Mondo Della Notte is set for release on 15th October 2020.

Tracklist
A1. Mondo Della Notte
A2. Stelle
B1. Cometa
B2. Dreamline
