PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Feber Feber 2024 by DJ REMASURI
Leipzig based DJ Remasuri, active since the second half of the 1990s, with an energizing and gripping retro-modern concoction of both groovy and cosmic dancing sounds, varying from Italo, Acid to Electro and House and all in between.
- French industrial /wave /techno /electro producer and DJ, Poperttelli ”Teknos Torony” from “Foule Barouf” EP 10″ [Pinkman]
Unsettling and immersive industrial-tinged technoid electro dive into eerie greyish atmospheric realms with shuddering and rattling rhythm patterns, churning low ends, slowly awash with foreboding synth sweeps, whilst brooding with relentless, sinister and seething energy.
- The Netherlands-based Japanese ambient /IDM /house /psych /breaks /experimental electronic producer and sound sculpturer So Oishi “Rays” off the “The Lithosphere” EP 12″ [Something Happening Somewhere]
Japanese sound artist chisels a swaying intricate and immersive head trip, cocooned by a crinkling depth of wavering vivid and lightly crisp, stacking percussions, insistent whirring loops in sync with sinuous mellow emotive ripples, subtle dissonances, warm bass pulsations, to gently both soothe and stir the senses in a contemplative haven dimension.
- Enigmatic French EBM /techno /machine funk /electro producer KafkaCtrl “Morphing Blood” from upcoming “The Lost Intruder” EP 12″ [DISTRITO 91]
Equally magnetic and dynamic, moody and dystopian Electro Machine Funk drive, ignites by feverish swarms of crisp syncopated rhythm patterns, topped by strident echoing FXs and eerie arpeggiated glowing synth swells, to explore deep, disturbing and spectral dance floors imbued with unwavering electrifying vibrancy.
