PICKS OF THE WEEK:

Selección Dura: NIEV

Fresh from an irresistible imaginative brand new dance Tribal-Jazzy-House bliss you can listen to below, still via the Mexican Duro label, the up-and-coming Brazilian DJ-producer Ribeirão Preto, aka Niev delivers a multifaceted percussive, sultry and groovy mix of his “distinctive style that blends electronic beats with the soulful echoes of Brazilian music”, into an intricate, organic and trippy maze of Tribal, Acid House, Leftfield Techno, Funk, Dark Disco suggestions.

Ambient /acid /psych /leftfield /percussive /experimental /downtempo collaborative project of Italian producers Oltrefuturo & Treasure Island, aka Future Island – “Empty Water (Sasi Mix)” from the upcoming “Reflexionism” EP [Estuary Tapes]

Italian electronic sound wizards take us on a trip to their native ecosystems through a heavy immersion triggered by hypnotic tight, crisp percussive patterns, sinuous organic warm bass pulses, and swirling layers of strident and resonating visceral droning frequencies, to stir up heady boundless transcendental visions of ancestral magic.

Paris-based, French new beat /dark techno /minimal electro duo Nomenklatür “N.B.I.C.” from upcoming “N.B.I.C.” EP [Thisbe Recordings]

Flowing minimal Electro cut from the Parisian duo is a modern cybernetic exploration into the technocratic mind, riding on punchy snare beats ceaselessly punctuating a warm rapid throbbing bassline which bounces and grooves steadily, standing out over swirling meanderings of edgy and acidic glistening arpeggios along with chilly synth flows, while delusional vocals and greedy obsessive echoes explain how every human being is a computer that needs to be evolved using an unending reign of advancing technology.

French ambient /dub /deep techno producer Mown – “Like Pieces Of Memories In The Sky” from upcoming LP “Cloud Factory” [Self-Released]

An intricate enveloping aural carpet of lightly crackling rhythmic patterns, bubbling bass pulses, edgy resonant echoes and emotive synth layers, soaked in mists, reverberations and luminescences of lingering melancholy, kidnaps the listener into imaginative, radiating depths of subtly tense, free flowing memories beyond the sky.
