WL//WH Weekly Electronic Music Tips

• BLACK DAHLIA – The Midday Mix on FBi Radio [Feb ’21]                                                                                     

To celebrate the release of the stunning “Animasochist” EP via Berlin label X-IMG, Sydney based dark electronic music project BLACK DAHLIA delivers an uncompromising set of new beat, EBM & industrial stark and cold vibrations.

• Berlin-based Italo /EBM /electro producer Markus Gebauer AKA Interviews “Cosmic Shuffle” off S/T EP 12″ on Brokntoys.
  

London based label never misses a beat, this time is Berlin-based producer to stand out with a ‘throbbing blend of Italo, EBM and electro’. Our fave from the overall impressive lot is the 80s flavoured, killer retro-futuristic electro-disco jam, “Cosmic Shuffle”, alluringly propelled by a Moroder-esque menacing and hypnotic disco bassline that bounces and gallops, wandering ceaselessly, swept down by sharp snapping, whipping beats and haunted by icy synth stabs, to induce a multidimensional dark and mysterious cosmic trip of heady aural incantation.

• West London based experimental horror electronics producer Tommy Gillard (one half of Zov Zov with Oliver Ho), aka Curved Needle “Rain Of Molten Iron” title track from the upcoming EP “Rain Of Molten Iron” on Artificial Dance
  

With the help of his longtime partner in crime, Oliver Ho aka Broken English Club, West London based producer Tommy Gillard revives as Curved Needle, delving into the intense, hideous innards of enigmatic twisted body music and visceral off-kilter experimentation. Harsh, stuttering bass pulses stack obscure constipated vibrations with droning synth chords and ominous dry rhythms, while ominous decrepit yet powerful atmospheric vocals release primal repetitions erupting into “Rain of Molten Iron.”

• UK/Australian dark disco collaboration between Tronik Youth and Stockholm Syndrome, aka Stockholm Youth “Fallin (Günce Acı Remix)” off upcoming “Fallin” EP [Nein Records]                                                             

Istanbul based Dj /Producer Gunce Aci adds darkened trippy layers of ominous oscillating bass tone vibrations laced with harsh twinkling auras of eerie squeaking synth strains, to rise anxiously into an edge of seat cliff hanger momentum, falling surreptitiously into the swaying dance floor mayhem, strewn in flashing drone alarm, while distant paranoia-inducing whispers echo half- hazardly into the mind-expanding droning textures of aural bliss.
