PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Podcast 168 // TEMPLER x Brutal Forms
Somehow appropriately paired with fellow Frenesia label sampler, thanks to the invaluable Italian label Brutal Forms, Templer is the project of the Occitanian industrial chevalier Thomas Chaladon under which he designed his very own idea of Rhythmic Noise and harsh Techno for more than an hour of uncompromising, ominous and fierce dancing session.
- Milan, Italian ambient /experimental /trance /kraut /cosmic electronic DJ-producer, Tagliabue – “Insidie” from upcoming “Abisso” EP 12″ [Subject To Restrictions Discs]
Turn on and drone in the entrancing sheer mesmeric density and eerie abyssal depth of Italo imaginative sonic traveller Tagliabue‘s “Inside”, compelled by ceaselessly tight and punchy echoing percussions, shivering hypnotic humming low ends and angsty penetrating high swirling strings, into a sensorial head-twisting cosmic journey beyond time and space.
- Los Angeles-based dark industrial techno artist AXKAN – “Ungrateful” from V/A “Frenesia Industrializer” CD compilation [Frenesia]
Milan-based Frenesia label hosts a gathering of Industrial ambassadors, to deliver a raw, harsh and remorseless sonic aesthetic of unparalleled sharp-edged intensity, amid chaotic, aggressive and pummelling rhythmic propulsion, dissonant screeching synth lines and ominous seething ambience pervaded with clattering and unsettling dystopic darkness.
- London-based 80s /wave /house /disco /electropop musician, singer-songwriter, and live performer of Iranian origin, Amirali – “Hideaway” off two-track EP [Dark Matters]
