WL//WH Weekly Electronic Music Tips

• BLT074 – Quartlune DJ invite AIR LQD – BLT Radio Mix
  

DJ and electronic music producer based in Brussels, Belgium, Mehdi Kernachi, with a raw and intense deconstructed DJ set of Industrial and Post-punk sounds.

• US psyche-pastoral /ritual /ambient /found sounds /tape loops /new age /drone /folk project of Mkl Anderson (Drekka), and Adam Parks (Timber Rattle / Lightning White Bison), Water Is The Sun “Charmed Of Lesser Beasts [Single Version]” first excerpt from the upcoming “Ritual Fever” LP [Trome Records / Tocco Magico]

Slowly evolving experimental drone music that references traditional African music, Appalachian folk, and English hymnody. The first excerpt is a stirring, transformative, hieratic liturgy with a transcendent ancestral breath in which the grounded, organic and stripped-down instrumentation frames a primordial, cathartic enchantment. An anxious whizzy tape wrinkles and writhes over a sad, wispy keyboard stream amidst sheets of droning mists and warm bass tones, layered with an almost indistinguishable ritual chant that merges with hopeless lost spoken words, underlined by sparse, solemn, deep percussion hits, until an emergence of feeble, meandering lonesome melodies disappears under a veil of looping frequencies.

• Gothenburg, Sweden downtempo /psychedelic /electronic trio Datasal “Besök” from “Observatoriet / Besök” 7″ single [Höga Nord Rekords]

Gothenburg group returns with a 2 tracker 7″ focusing on visionary trippy cosmic-house explorations, led by repetitive rhythmic downtempo pulses and looping mesmerizing sequences as a source of relentless hypnosis, ornamented by penetrating, flickering fragments and sidereal arpeggios, rich with light and refractions, to rise beyond the earthly boundaries between body and mind, where tension and transcendence harmonize.

• Helsinki, Finland dark ambient /bass /breaks /percussive /psych /techno producer Kaiunta – “Phantasm” from V/A “NAZAR001-Various artists” EP [Nazar]

A polyrhythmic, swirling dark atmospheric exploration, from Helsinki mainstay Kaiunta. “Phantasm” unfolds shuffling, looping woody percussion patterns, punctuated by stomping kicks, murky bassline pulses, and chiming reverbs, uncannily awash in shivering dark ambient saturations, to creepily crawl, before a vortex of droning tones, clattering blows, and squalling winds spins faster, then slower, to create an eerie off-balanced mood, bringing forth a relentless thudding forward momentum that emerges from the dark shadows with a ominous yet mesmeric magnetism.
