Weekly Electronic Music Tips #6

PICKS OF THE WEEK:

  • Aperitif de la Mort [AM-018] : NAP                                                                                                                         

 Set of the week comes from Colombian-born, Montreal based artist and Isla imprint honcho, Daniel Rincón, aka NAP, intensely and relentlessly rumbling, chugging and jugging through an exotic, hypnotic and sultry dark concoction of electro, wave, tribal, disco and much more.

  • Derry-based industrial/dark experimental electronic/EBM project of Christian Donaghy, Autumns “My Hand” from V/A “The Ultimate Sounds Of Universe II” compilation on Mosaique Records  

Brilliant sampler from the recently productive and highly effective Saint Petersburg-based imprint runs by Moralez (of The Bleak Engineers). Amongst many hits, stands out Autumns‘ EBM belter, with hypnotic and oscillating bassline, propelled by punching whipping beats, that creeps their way in, pulses and sputters over a dense gust of whirling hiss and buzz, distorted voices and bleeding electronics.

  • Irish experimental electronic producers Gareth Smyth (aka Lumigraph) and David Kitt (aka New Jackson), GARIES “What A Room” from the upcoming “In Bits” EP on DC’s Future Times                                                   

The first preview from Dubliner duet delivers mind-bending hyper-dynamic, sputtering, vivid sound abstractions and hypnotic bleep melodies with nods to ’90s early Warp IDM and Detroit electro.

  • French electronic producer from Paris, Yan Wagner aka The Populists “Prehistoric Lemurs” off of forthcoming V/A “From Above Vol. II” on LumièreNoire                                                                                                              

The genre-defying Parisian producer Yan Wagner is back on the fold with his equally unique and dynamic, as crispy and bouncing, heady whirlwind of electro, new beat, breakbeat and lot more…unmistakably The Populist!
