PICKS OF THE WEEK:

  • Outsiders: Zentralwäscherei w/ HING [@ Kiosk Radio 06.01.2025]

Zentralwäscherei presents a mix by Hing, a Zurich-based artist with roots in Munich, and an active force behind Zentralwäscherei’s very own association. Electrifying, quirky and cozy at times, Hing puts together a captivating ride flavoured with timeless sonic visions tinted with Dub, Krautrock, Wave, Downtempo, Tribal and Psychedelic hues.

  • Glaswegian ambient /cinematic /downtempo /beatless /soundscapes /electronic producer and owner of the Bricolage label and Gorecki Productions, Fragile X, aka Leit Motif “Aonaran” from the upcoming CD album “Vestige” [See Blue Audio]

Glaswegian producer elicits a transcendent immersion into dreamlike rarefied modulations, tinkling vivid chimes, trembling swells and subtly pulsing droning low ends, slowly drifting, echoing and breathing in enveloping mesmeric resonances, by cocooning the listener into a sensorial vivid, emotionally intense and yet all-encompassing flow, scattered with arcane wavy-grained reverberations, to indulge and bask in.

  • Turin, Italy-based EBM /industrial /electro /techno producer Iron Court “Things Come At A Price” from the upcoming self-released cassette EP “Eclipsed”

My fellow citizen’s first preview “Things Come At A Price” cracks and resonates through lashing steely beats, splitting kicks, subtly coarse bass rashes, and shining synth flashes wobbling atop like laminated sheets, to deliver an equal parts snappy mechanical yet groovy dancefloor induction, electrified by a somehow unsettlingly headspace.

  • Italian Shamanic /Acid /Psych /Trance /Techno Trancepelagic-Adriatic producer Oltrefuturo “Beca” from cassette album “Culto Del Sol” [Multi Culti]

Through a cosmic maze of futuristic Techno and cathartic Trance, “Beca” dives into visionary aural realms of mesmerising exotic fractals and spirals, where ceaseless hypnotic clapping rhythmic patterns, dizzy acidic bass scribbles, esoteric vocal clips and bewitching arcane synth motifs organically coalesce, to bounce through all-embracing sensory trails of boundless imagination.
