Weekly Electronic Music Tips – March #11-21
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- ANWAR – Radio Rituel 36
- Paris‘ EBM /Industrial /techno /electronic artist SUBSTENCIA “Dōjōji” new single
Inspired by Mishima‘s short stories “Dojoji” and ‘Ghost of Tsushima’ video game, Paris based electronic artist SUBSTENCIA unleashes an EBM-strewn industrial clanging and cutting ritual ‘sacrifice’, through eerie spatial auras layering extreme disconnected frequencies, explosive screams, and industrial grit down a steam-powered bass line’s treacherous drive, cut with lashing, hissing beats, maniacal clanks, and haunted blowing synth strains to merge tumultuous disruptions into the relentless churn of apocalyptic doom.
- Spanish indie dance/dark disco collaboration, Ivan de la Rouch & Mike Sacchetti “Cúrame (Amarcord ‘Curami’ Remix)” off upcoming “Cúrame” EP on Play Pal Music
Italian young producer Amarcord reinvents the original through a heady blend of organic and analog electronic instrumentation, infused of distant intriguing CCCP echoes (Italian punk pioneer’s hit is the topic of the week apparently), to weave throbbing bassline danger with martial, marching beats, warm, yet eerie synth tensions, and distant anxious vocals echoing fear, while reaching out from the depths of surreal dimensions amid high pitched buzzing shoots, and ominous baritone guitar expansions to ebb and flow in an intoxicating madness.
- Bordeaux / Nantes EBM /new beat /psych /dark electronic collaboration of producers Mimmo & Hirschmann – “Danse Macabre” from upcoming “Le Martinet” LP on Ritmo Fatale
Toulouse-based Italo disco imprint slows things down with a dark, mesmeric and eerily esoteric first preview from French collaborative project of Mimmo & Hirschmann, to inject harsh squeaky auras cryptically embedded into the ritual haunting allure of tribal drum beats pounding through fluttering dimensions, distant reverbs of primal screams, and the stinging alarming rain of electronic strains, while sensual, eerie French spoken vocals chant fading desires into a transformative pause, fueling a stuttering bass line and twinkling lopsided synths into a ceremonial implosion. Expect more wicked and metallic sonic investigations into sinister sonic territories with the expected Colombian ace Filmmaker remix.
