PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- GNOM | Mix 103 Volupté
This week’s elegant and immersive set by Parisian music lover and DJ Guillaume Ageron AKA Gnom combines deep and powerful beats, poignant basslines, and swirling evocative synths, swaying between Dark Disco, Wave, Synth-Pop, Electro, and Coldwave, to trigger the most earnest and lush craves for the dark dance floor.
- Istanbul, Turkey-based ambient /ritual /industrial /dark techno producer Varteres Durise – “Erase Me” from upcoming V/A “Primordial Chaos” on Tbilisi‘s Borders Of Known
Turkish producer with a ritualistic, oppressive and seething blanket of dark primal textures that melts, expand, and spark amid around sears of hopeless ritual synth swathes, stomped to death by the oppressive weight of heavy relentless beats spewing metallic shrapnels of pain under the unstoppable, sinister momentum of fury fuelled chaos. A more than gripping and intriguing introduction to the upcoming Borders Of Known‘s compilation.
- Laramie, Wyoming ambient /noise /drone /guitar /electronic solo experimental music project, Trucking to Tokyo “Brief lectures on the future of automation” from the album “Blood Agar, Home” on Eating Napkins
An assemblage of hypnotic escapist synth ruminations, rustling dark ambient restlessness, amidst harsh, droning slivers of guitar wanderings, and nervous brief moments of dissonant noise, define the fragmented soundtrack of an increasingly shattered dystopian world.
- London-based dark space disco /acid /electro /indie dance /space /techno producer ED Tomlinson aka UNCOMMON “Space” from the upcoming EP “Each To There Own” on Nein Records
A heady indie-dance concoction of different sound elements from electro, disco, acid and techno in the eclectic style of Nein Records. Uncommon‘s first preview spins sinuously pulsing acidic bass tones to instil lilting mystery and danger around rolling patterns of groovy crispy beats, whilst a stack of icy-bright synth glows swirl and flash ceaselessly in tinkling uncanny spacey melodies to draw entrancing dancefloor fantasies from a subconscious well of haunted memories.
- UK based techno /dark electro DJ-producer ISSU “Oscillate” from “Elementary Particula” EP on Austin’s Science Cult
UK based electronic DJ-producer ISSU relentlessly delivers dark, sci-fi, dance-ready technoid electro through chaotic nocturnal realms of brisk, buzzing basslines’ rumbling danger, hypnotic neck-breaking beats, suspenseful synth swells, and paranoia-inducing whispers, to expand skewed perceptions into a gritty, distorted view of ancient menace igniting obscure, dancefloor dungeons with an unstoppable flow of sentient doom.
