• Strange But Dance Music LIVE #15: LLOYD STELLAR                                                                                                

Strange But Dance Music podcast stimulates us with an Electro live performance, constructed with modular synthesizers, drum machine beats and vocoder-driven vocals by Lloyd Stellar, one of the alter egos of Dutch electronic musician, producer, live act, and LDI Records head, Erik Griffioen. Lloyd’s music delves into the unknown, exploring futuristic and dystopian themes like the consequences of man’s greed and the relationship between humans and machines.

• UK EBM /industrial /acid /dark /electro project of Mike Smith (aka Crossover Network), aka E.L.I. “Welcome To Hell” title track of the upcoming EP “Welcome To Hell” [Exiled Records]

Dark, grungy, electrified underworld vibes fuse bouncy, buzzing bass lines, resonant acidic tones, restless skipping breakbeats, creeping synth swathes, and excruciating distorted screams into an unsettling Hell-like domain of dangerous dancefloor intentions.

• Marseille, France indie dance /wave /dark disco producer Danse Alice – “Ink Done (Vox Low Remix)” off “Petit Monde” EP [Newday Everyday]

Parisian duo’s imaginative rework transports us into a dark, brooding, and distorted hyperreal realm, igniting off-kilter layers of obsessive chunky pinpoint bass ripples, stacked hard-hitting marching beats, gurgling low-end oscillations, and harsh blowing synth riffs, around a mind-melting and magnetic lysergic mantra through a rave dimension of broken time.

• Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian Indie Dance /Synthwave/Cosmic /Italo Disco /Electro producer Neurotiker “Unknown World” off upcoming V/A “A Retro Futuristic Collage” compilation [Club Mackan]

Part of an upcoming Stockholm‘s Club Mackan retro-futuristic inspired 10-track compilation, Carioca artist scatters ‘across space and time’ to construct a surreal electronic universe cast in fluid fluctuating waves of glittering synth asymmetry, marching dance beats, ’80s stuttering droning bass lines, and disintegrating layers of robotic vocals, levitating into heavier, edgier, and more dramatic momentums of cold, dark, and hypnotic dance-floor moods.
