Weekly Electronic Music Tips – March #12-21
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- SUICIDIO Live [Deviant Pleasures]
- German ambient /techno /electro producer Thomas Pahl from Berlin, aka VERTICAL67 “Violet” from “The Early Hours” EP on eudemonia
German producer Thomas Pahl draws lush, ecstatic and spatial electro synthscapes, opening alternate doorways of the mind with heart skipping beats that flow through stacked and cracked dimensions of inhibitive fear, to tingle with fluttering sensations and turbulent frequencies, swaying moodily through endless nostalgic and arcane sands of time.
- UK-born, L.A.-based, horror /EBM /industrial /dark electro /electronic music producer/DJ Thomaas Banks – “And The Machines Began To Breathe [Timothy Clerkin Remix]” off upcoming “The Dark” EP on his own label Sinahti
Amsterdam-based, UK old-school rave ace, one-half of Eskimo Twins, and Insult To Injury head honcho, Timothy Clerkin, injects spectacular hypnotic sputtering beats that drive vicariously through the treacherous droning bass tone’s ripping pulse, opening alternate trance-inducing dancefloor realms with stomping mechanical steam-powered rhythms and zippy, snide synth flows to create a relentless undulating expansion of dystopian doom.
- Northern California industrial /EBM /breakcore /noise /acid /techno producer Memory Clap Acid “Dead To Me (W/ Felicia Constantine)”off upcoming Split cassette EP “ISTIC(S)” via Phage Tapes
Northern California‘s breakcore and acid warrior, dubbed ‘The Lemmy Ov Acid’, rules the week with three killer releases (Clan Destine Records split cassette and part of Sishi‘ “Universidad de Vampiros” compilation), here in his most EBM-infected track, augmented by the mischievous loudmouthed vocal delivery from Felicia Constantine, through neurotic synth tones computing nefarious algorithms with clanking steam-powered, crashing beats and treacherous warbling bass oscillations, while oppressive terrified screams and robotic repetitions reveal “Your dead to me”, to crank industrial paranoid saturated dimensions of doom into a cyber-apocalyptical overdrive.
