Weekly Electronic Music Tips – APRIL #15-22

PICKS OF THE WEEK:
  • SIM [selfisolatedmusic] 028 // TLXCO                                                                                                                                                      

TLXCO is an Italian electronic punk project based in Venice established on a mind-bending, twisted and sourly proto electro-techno sound, a seemingly perfect fit for the warped and deranged leanings of labels such as Sons Of Traders and Dead Channel Records.

  • Greek ambient /experimental /industrial /breakbeat /dark techno producer from Stavroupoli, Penelope’s Fiance – “Saint Through Sinner Eyes” from the cassette album “Blessed Are The Fallen” on Phormix

We followed the eclectic Greek producer since his early lo-fi experimentations due to his prowess to combine electronic sounds, beats and effects in an organic and minimal way, carving atmospheric, cinematic and industrial landscapes, in which the deeply structured and intricate rhythm patterns blend in an increasingly fluid, refined and cohesive form with emotional and reflective synthesizers, enriched with IDM abstractions and crisp syncopated breaks, steering the listener into a transcendental mesmeric journey that seduces and piques intrigue for his meticulously crafted pulsating and emotional dystopian atmospheres.

  • French new beat /wave /electro side project of coldwave act Blind Delon, FRUST “Beryl” from upcoming “Stone II” Bella Ursa Recordings‘ cassette EP ‘Stone’ series.

Second EP from Blind Delon‘s cinematic and haunting EBM and Wave inflected Electro side project Frust. The cyber-apocalyptic buzzing electro cut, “Beryl”, is stirred by ominous hidden distorted vocals revealing death, destruction, and mechanical control, amid chaotic spatial echoes, to trigger relentless edgy lashing beats, carved by raspy droning syncopated basslines, and smudged by icy bright alienating synth swells, forging a hypnotic flow of sinister magnetic frequencies left emerging from a dark chasm of inhuman desire.

  • Italian experimental /acid /ethnic /cinematic /electronic music project by RBMA alumnus Marco Segato and photographer/video-maker Alessio Costantino (aka Askmeaboutdogs), AKA NARVALOS “El Colgado” from the upcoming album “PoP (La Fuga)” on Sons Of Traders Records

Imaginative eclectic Italian duo unfolds a lysergic, sun-burnt, shamanic shakedown rattling and rollicking through vibrant shaky tribal rhythmic patterns enfolded in achingly looping droning glares, desolate meandering airy synth swirls and high-pitched tinkling soaring frequencies, whilst primal grunts, whispered spells, and spirit animal incantations take us on a mesmerizing esoteric and cinematic journey into mind-altering depths of time and space.
