A new label surfaces from Portugal, following the pioneering example of Thisco, and collaborating with the ever receptive Fonoteca Municipal de Lisboa. "Fórmula electrónica #1" is a nice sampler of modern rhythmic electronica, featuring mostly new names - at least to my ears - like Not So, Structura, Dr. Parkinson, Shhh..., Wedding Noise, Milanó, M-PeX and Fernando Mota, plus The Ultimate Architects (see the review of their ep, from which the instrumental track featured here is taken) and Oxygen, who are probably the most well known projects here. Most tracks are good, and range from glitchy (Not So) to breakbeat (Dr. Parkinson) to Oxygen's noir electronica and Ultimate Architects' wave-ish track... with pretty much everything in between. Quite solid throughout, and a nice overview of what's happening in Portugal.
