• Sonidos Subterraneos | Episode 121 | LA UNION METALURGICA                                                                        

Revealed with last year’s brilliant debut album on New York‘s L.I.E.S. Records imprint, Barcelona based duo Nicolas Ballesteros and Lautaro Carbajal, AKA La Union Metalurgica, started, from their early stages in 2020, to delve into the equally abstract, crumbling and distorted, industrial and experimental sounds conjure up by the crashing ruins of the decaying dystopic Western society.

• German trance /hard techno DJ/production duo from Cologne, Tanzanfall “Darkness Is Beauty in The Right Hands” single [Darkart]

‘Fusing Warehouse aesthetic with 90s Nostalgia’, German producer delivers melodic and trancey Industrial Hard Techno spell through heavy stomping beats that stir deep bass vibrations, and scattered synth strains into a hypnotic turmoil above slow serene swirling glows and blurry indecipherable entrancing vocals, rising mercurially into alternate dimensions of pleasure and pain to light a darkened dancefloor with staggering beauty amid dystopic modern-day brutal chaos and doom.

• Italian psych-ethno-electro-disco producer, musician, DJ and co-owner of Raibano Records, Alberto Melloni “Red Siren (Local Suicide‘s Blood Red Siren Mix)” [Paradise Palms Records]

Berlin-based, Greco/German Production/DJ couple Vamparela and Brax Moody’s re-work sways with bass fueled energy and exuding stifling and staggering synth obsessiveness, arouses by throbbing mesmeric grooves from a heavy, bouncy bassline, to drive heady compulsive synth swirls and droning frequencies, cut by steady hypnotic snares, and ritual, rolling percussions, surrounded by sparse teasing ethnic vocal chants, to compel off-kilter brightly exotic yet disturbing mind-bending dancefloor reveries.

• Detroit IDM /future funk /electro duo of Drexciya‘s Rudolf Klorzeiger (aka Gerald Donald) & To-Nhan, aka DOPPLEREFFEKT “Neuroplasticity” from the upcoming new album ”Neurotelepathy” via Leisure System
  

Bypassing past, present and future, after three years of experimentation in isolation, continues full acquaintance and mastery of the machines from the iconic Detroit duo, teasing the upcoming album with a tinkling and chiming dystopic model of sheer minimal electro prowess, at the same time starkly mechanical as it is pulsing with wistful emotive expressiveness, to ponder about the possibilities and pitfalls of what’s to come.
