Part Time Punks pays tribute to SF-based Darkwave & Minimal Synth label, DARK ENTRIES. Dark Entries was born in the spring of 2009 to release out of print and unreleased synth-driven music as well as contemporary bands referencing that sound. A project of Josh Cheon (who will be Guest DJing tonite), a vinyl-focused DJ and collector, Dark Entries takes great care in preserving sound quality and respecting the aesthetics of its artists. All of their releases are in limited runs, hand numbered and sometimes stamped, a carry over from the DIY days of the 1980s independent record labels.

Eleven Pond

Links

Several years ago Dark Entries reissued the debut LP by ELEVEN POND. Long sought after by collectors, the Rochester, NY band only released a single LP in their time together before dissolving into obscurity. Their sound–a merging of post punk, dark dance and synthpop full of melodic arrangements–reflected the originality of gifted songwriters who met in art school with a shared interest in 4AD and Factory Records. Fronted by Jeff Gallea, now living in LA and a near-constant figure the past two years at at the club, PTP is honored to offer this stage to the stunning band, who only now are receiving the attention they deserved over two decades ago...

Octavius

Listen
Links

Glacial, barren and difficult, OCTAVIUS arrives in stark contrast to synth pop derived efforts of recent fashion. Informed directly by Bowie’s Low, New Order’s Movement and, as always, Tricky’s Pre-Millennium Tension.“ This is the sound of synth hitting the streets, of hard concrete & urban decay.

Youth Code

Watch
Links

YOUTH CODE are the latest addition to the Downwards Records family (home of PTP faves, Tropic Of Cancer, DVA Damas and Silent Servant aka Juan Mendez). Like Silent Servant, Youth Code are crossing wires between industrial and EBM, minimal synth and minimal techno. So heads up, fans of Throbbing Gristle, Severed Heads, Skinny Puppy, Front 242 and //Tense//, to say the very least.
