VARIOUS — Suicide Pioneers' Celebration (2x12")

Various – SUICIDE PIONEERS' CELEBRATION opens the Oraculo Records OR172 2x12inch Vinyl with a sprawling tribute to the seminal duo SUICIDE. The set, issued on 23 November 2026, gathers wave, pop house and synth-pop house interpretations that map the influence of Alan Vega and Martin Rev across decades. Presented as a one-off pressing of 500 copies, the collection links the original voice of SUICIDE with a new generation of dark-electronic creators. Within Oraculo’s 2026 output, OR172 follows the earlier releases OR171 “THERE'S A HOLE EP” by With Shadows, OR166 “IP307.1 EP”, OR165 “RÜHREN EP” by Frontmaschine, OR161 “NO MORE SPECTACLES EP” by EN Direct, OR160 “DIGITAL SLAVE LP” by Damage Code, OR159 “METAFÍSICA EP” by Puerta Negra, OR158 “OCCULIMUS (2x12”)” by Mystic Letter K and OR154 “ONIROMANCIA COMPLETA EP” by Maman KÜSters. This placement underscores the label’s commitment to experimental electronic music and its reverence for the darker strands of the scene. Side A launches with “Wild In Blue” re-imagined by David Carretta & Jurgen Engler (Die Krupps), a track that sets a kinetic tone for the disc. The subsequent “Girl”, a collaboration between Adan & Ilse featuring Gaby Delgado of D.A.F., continues the high-energy momentum, while “Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champagne” by Simi Nah feat. KGB adds a glossy, synth-laden sheen. “Ghost Rider (Rework)” from Radical G shifts the mood toward a more brooding texture, and “Je T'En Prie Rêve (Keep Your Dreams)” by Position Paralelle offers a dreamy, melodic interlude. “Frankie Teardrop” performed by Unknown Celebrities revisits the iconic SUICIDE narrative with a darker, pulsating drive. Millimetric’s “Devastation” featuring Dirk Da Davo (The Neon Judgement) injects a gritty, industrial edge, followed by The Horrorist’s “Rocket U.S.A”, a track that balances tension and release for club settings. In Death It Ends team up with Usher (Norma Loy) on “Ghost Rider”, delivering a haunting atmosphere that bridges the two sides. Cruise-CTRL with Richard 23 & Patrick Codensys (Front 242) close the first half with “Radiation”, a piece that feels built for late-night peaks. The final three A-side selections – Absolute Body Control’s “Heatbeat”, Liebknecht feat. Kristoffer Grip (Agent Side Grinder) on “Wild In Blue”, and Marc Hurtado & Alan Vega’s own “Ghost Rider” – each reinforce the tribute’s reverence while offering distinct rhythmic perspectives. Side B opens with Laag’s “Rain Of Ruin”, a track that deepens the nocturnal ambience before Black Egg and Hausfrau present “Dream Baby Dream”, a lush, hypnotic rendition. The Present Moment’s “Sweat Heart” adds a smoother, groove-oriented moment, while Noì Voì’s “Cheree” brings a minimal, introspective vibe. The record concludes with Distel’s “Che”, a concise closing that echoes the thematic thread of homage throughout the set. The compilation functions as both a historical document and a contemporary dancefloor tool. By pairing veteran figures such as Absolute Body Control, Gabi Delgado, Front 242’s Richard 23 and Patrick Codensys with newer acts like Simi Nah and The Present Moment, the release maps the lineage of dark synth and minimal wave into current production aesthetics. It showcases how the original SUICIDE ethos continues to inform modern electronic music, offering DJs a palette that ranges from driving club cuts to atmospheric deep-time explorations. For collectors, the 2x12inch format provides ample space for the nuanced mastering required by the varied material. The pressing, limited to five hundred copies, ensures a tangible link to the underground network that sustains these sounds. The vinyl presentation respects the tactile experience valued by enthusiasts, while the sequencing supports flexible mixing strategies. In sum, Various – SUICIDE PIONEERS' CELEBRATION arrives as OR172 on Oraculo Records, a 2x12inch Vinyl compilation of eighteen tracks that pays homage to SUICIDE through a blend of wave, pop house and synth-pop house interpretations, linking past innovators with present creators.
