Weekly Electronic Music Tips – JANUARY #04-23
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Pre Bloody @ NIKKATZE
São Paulo-based Brazilian multi-disciplinary artist, DJ and Blum collective founder, a movement focused on electronic music, performances and contemporary arts, sets a cinematic, shadowy and electrifying dancefloor varying between Dark Electro, EBM and Darkwave.
- London-based ambient /acid /slow cosmic disco /downtempo /psych /electronic Greek artists and Inside Out Records bosses Stavros Potamitis (aka Stevie R) and Constantinos Parisinos (aka Parisinos), Stevie R & Parisinos – “Martian Judy (MR TC Remix)” off “Martian Judy” EP [Roam Recordings]
Glasgowian Phase Group label co-head and sound traveler MR TC instills a heady and vivid concoction of crisp groovy percussions, echoing acidic swells, pulsing enveloping synth swirls, and esoteric spoken words, that will carry the listener into magnetic, trance-like, yet subtly unnerving, metaphysical dimensions.
- Athens, Greece based Noise /Dark Electro /Punk /EBM new solo project of 1/2 of One Flesh.Infektion, The Hanged Man “Body Mind Control” from upcoming EP “Body Mind Control” on SOIL
High energy stomping industrialized EBM assault from Athenian sonic militant that rumbles through a thick outburst of old-school, commanding, and droning bassline’s oscillating menace, along with relentless thumping drum kicks, clattering metallic clangor and combative scratchy shouts, to fully control your body and mind. Exactly what we could expect, familiar stuff but thoroughly effective.
- Hamburg based dark electro duo Wosto and Kluentah, aka FALLBEIL “Inside Job” from the forthcoming album “The Mockturtle” on Macadam Mambo
As the press suggests, an intriguing wandering between Detroit and Rotterdam, a dark, melodic and cerebral Drexciya style slow deep immersion tainted with at times turbulent and coarse facets grabbed from Bunker Records, with acidic and vaguely psychedelic additives. The first preview stumbles through steady sharp snares, ceaselessly syncopated droning basslines along with compulsive shivering humming swirls, encircled by distant mystifying synth drifts, to build both mesmerizing yet disturbing moods.
