Eclectic Italian young electronic producer based in Rome, AKA Futuristant, under his Cobrawave moniker, unearths barren and disturbing post-industrial electro-dusted landscapes through crisp percussive claps, mechanical pulsing warbly basslines, ominous, futuristic and spacey synth swathes, acidic ripples, along with compulsive aloof vocal loops, builds something mysterious, mesmeric and danceable all at once.

Russian producer churns out ‘meticulous electro with a dash of trap-inspired sounds and a sprinkle of Avantgarde techno’, with a buzzing off-kilter first preview that unfurls through a sizzling mercurial maze of crisp mutant percussive patterns, crunchy droning basslines and luminous alienating synth noodlings in a dizzying shapeshifting collision/combination of arcane tribalistic esoterism and angsty dystopic futuristic domains.
- Colombian new beat /breakbeat /electro DJ-producer based in Medellin, T.D.D – “Gretaful Death” from upcoming V/A “Complementary” compilation on Buenos Aires‘ PERLAS label.
