PICKS OF THE WEEK:

  • COMPUTER CONTROLLED Mix 50

Chris Nez, owner of Belfast-based Computer Controlled Records, a label dedicated to the raw edges of electronic music, with a two hour mix of pure unadulterated electro energy.

  • Paris industrial /techno DJ-producer Mind | Matter “Cataclysme” from the V/A compilation “Various Artists Vol. 4” [Vives]

Parisian producer returns with his signature intense rattling fusion of heavily pounding industrial techno, dark and menacing harsh textures, and relentless high-energy, fatally trotting headlong with shrilling doomed string tones and ruthless hypnosis, towards a ruinous peak-time dancefloor annihilation.

  • Lyon-based minimal techno /deep house /acid electro /left field club music artist Louen Poppé “Mum” from upcoming “Parasites” EP [Lumière Noire Records]

A surreal and vivid, intoxicating atmospheric club music exploration stirred up by winding, pulsing, and murmuring basslines intricately weaving with clattering electro-rhythmic patterns and acidic, droney burbles, rolling, trembling, and fluttering seamlessly to release the lingering tension into emotive, airy, swelling synth pads, through an expansive liquid immersion of treacherously soothing vocal sensations.

  • Guadalajara-based, Mexican-Jamaican ambient /tech house /dubstep artist Andy Martin “`The Ark” from the upcoming “Andy Martin / Christian Coiffure Split” EP [Bait]

A crispy percussive, richly layered and deeply hypnotic, infectious dubby stepper, electrified with pulsing bass warmness, jazzesque brassy blows, trippy voice clips, and underlying feral energy.
