- Lyon, French dark ambient/experimental/industrial/dark techno producer ISTIGKEIT “All Your Hopes Are Delusional (Meer Remix)” off of the upcoming “Universal Poison” EP on his own Istigkeit Records

Bordeaux-based Meer‘s rework slowly unfolds like an unbroken nightmare, increasingly thicker and oppressive, as hypnotically pulsing ritualistic drumbeats, blistering, hissing strings, buzzing droning bass, lashing noise, plunging down a stifling and roiling rabbit hole filled with menacing paranoia and dread.
