WL//WH Weekly Electronic Music Tips

• Veleno Viola Podcast #1: YUEGA                                                                                                                                             

Bologna-based Italian DJ-producer Nicolò Stefanelli AKA Yuega inaugurates Veleno Viola label podcast series hosting EBM /Synth /Wave /Industrial /Electro artists.  Started years before the 2020 pandemic with a couple of self-released tapes, Yuega‘s music is an updated version of the 80’s electronic experiments, a crossover between the paranoia of the current clubbing scene and the roots of electronic music, a journey into an underground world, filled with nostalgic impulses and modern concepts rattling seamlessly between Electro-Industrial, EBM and Proto-Techno. 

• Amsterdam-based breakbeat /ethnic /psych /acid /electronic producer Hary Shanthi – “Urumi (MR TC Remix)” from “Urumi” EP [Sinchi]

‘Urumi’ has been created by Sinchi Collective member Hary Shanthi as a homage to his Indian culture and ‘”the non-dualistic nature” of Kashmir Shaivism, a philosophical system that emerged in India around the 12th Century. The imaginative mind-bending treatment by Glasgow-based MR TC steeps us into an electrifying vortex propelled by droning bass pulses, buzzing rotations, hypnotic tribalist percussions, and mercurial synth spirals, into a mind-expanding experience, where levitating layers of exotic frequencies open blocked pathways into refreshing clarity and insight.

• Rennes, France disco /wave /electro producer Charles Torris AKA Le Matin – “Lost To Time” off split 12″ vinyl album “Mixtus Orbis” with Parallel Planet [Maturre]

Rennes-based producer combines skeletal Electro, moody Wave and spooky Dungeon synth leanings to instill simultaneously ominous and wistful, whimsical fantasy perspectives, igniting spritely busts, eerily mercurial synth melodies, syncopated broken dry beats, occasional subtly crisp percussive patterns, and a dangerous swelling undercurrent of menacing humming bass lines, into an alternate dimension of melancholia-ridden uncanny vocoder vocals, dancing headily at the edge of a cold and alienated world.

• Krasnodar-based eclectic psych /prog house /Goa trance electronic DJ-producer Konstantin Isayev (aka Volta Cab), AKA Rambal Cochet – “Sundowner” from V/A “SPAZIO INVASORE Vol. 01” cassette compilation [Spazio]

Krasnodar-based outer-space sound traveler takes us in a mystical, transformative aura driven by steady pounding beats, depth-enhancing echoes, jiggly distorted frequencies and meandering bass lines to align through a time-traveling tunnel of shapeshifting visions where liquid chimes, airy flowing melodies, and buzzing blowing swarms light a darkening twilight realm aglow with whimsical, heady “Sundowner” fantasy.
