• Colombia‘s synthwave/minimal synth duo Hierba Negra & Ferdinand Cärclash – “Danse Morte”                     Link:  here

Great dark synth from Colombia lately, this time a collaboration between new female artist Hierba Negra and the well known Ferdinand Cärclash with a superb, dark and twisted, instrumental minimal synth number interspersed with seductive nocturne-goth eeriness.

• Athens-based, Turkish Post-Punk/Darkwave duo from Bursa, She Past Away “Durdu Dünya” from the new album “Disko Anksiyete”
  

It’s not easy nowadays to listen a whole LP of 80s inspired darkwave/post-punk with ease on repeat, the long-awaited third effort from Turkish finest sets the bar so high within the genre it will be tough do better.

• Italian synthwave/darkwave/post-punk duo from Naples, HAPAX “Truth Or Lie” from the upcoming album “Monade” on SwissDarkNights Label

Rightly the latter preview the forthcoming LP in the best possible way with a rousing epic post-punk ride that will set your soul, and helplessy your feet, on fire.
