Weekly Electronic Music Tips #36
Picks Of The Week:
- Medellín, Colombia lo-fi experimental/electro/EBM/techno/dark synth solo project of Faunes Efes, FILMMAKER “Noir Times” title-track from the upcoming EP on Valencia’s HC records
We start Colombia’s tribute week with Medellín‘s finest Filmmaker, regard to quantity and above all, quality, surely one of the best newcomers of the year. As dizzying yet disturbing, as it is dark and uncanny imaginative mix of 90’s techno and 80s dark sounds, comprised of commanding and hypnotic bass lines, eerie melodic synth and solid pounding beats infused with entrancing darkness, compelling edgy simplicity, and lo-fi analog flair. Insanely sick stuff!
- Colombian industrial techno/EBM duo Alpha & Necromante “Red Tape” from the upcoming V/A “Sphere” compilation on New York’s Samo Records
Another Colombian production duo on the rise, Alpha & Necromante, keeps on delivering pulsing, mechanical EBM-fueled techno-industrial bangers made of thick conquering basslines, punching drum machine and gloomily evocative synth chords that rouse the relentless dance… til exhaustion. Check out NYC-based Samo Records‘ compilation, as it unveils other great tracks like Neud Photo, Fringe Society and many more.
- Bogotà, Colombia experimental/industrial/modular techno producer Náusea “Vociferan entre Escombros” from the EP “Amargo Alquitrán” via Broken Mind Recordings
Broken Mind Recordings, a DIY label founded by DJ/producer/singer and composer Magdalena Col in 2014, is back on track, since last year, showcasing local producers united by social and political issues and lo-fi experimental dark sounds on the raw and obscure end of the electronic spectrum. The menacing and claustrophobobic new experimental-industrial-techno EP from new producer Náusea breath that stinks of rotten and decomposed, dangerous and fearful, industrial landscapes covered with dust and filth of a modern society in a irreversibile state of decay, between atrocity and attraction.
