PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- DJ RUBBER “Elektronensturm Mix series no.13”
Experienced Germany-based DJ and producer since the 80s, Rubber emphasizes contemporary tracks while occasionally revisiting timeless classics, ensuring a dynamic listening experience. Here is a vibrant and buzzing set of razor-sharp breakbeat and electro energy.
- Southampton, UK experimental folk /drone /ambient /electro-acoustic project of singer-songwriter Mat Sweet, aka Boduf Songs “Das Liebetodesdrang Pt. 1 [Single Version]” from the upcoming cassette album “Selected Instrumental Works” [Bluesanct]
First glimpse of dark, reflective, and meditative fourteen instrumental pieces that inhabit a space between ambient composition and funereal hymn.
Molded on the bittersweet delicacy of sad faint piano resonances, and soul-stirring atmospheric transience, “The Love Death Impulse Pt. 1″ unfolds through reiterate lines of dim chimey piano keys, dotted by sparse, vivid gentle taps, and faraway flimsy elongations of plaintive synthetic drifts, to create a sensorial grief-filled aura suffused with a lingering restless emotional edge, fading toward a boundless chasm of moving melancholy.
- Dutch ambient /breaks /psychedelic /trance /hip-hop /downtempo /techno /electronic producer Spekki Webu “Goodbye Universe” from “Bootstrap Paradox” LP [Outer Orbit Records]
Dutch producer explores his deep and wide-ranging influences across a captivating narrative of tripped-out beatdowns and evocative dreamscapes. “Goodbye Universe” rolls into a cold, gritty, surreal molten backdrop of restrained shivering tension, paced by nagging bass loops and a slinky and clinking groovy breakbeat framework that gradually gains momentum and expands with twirling atmospheric flows, toward the cool, freeing edge of the unknown.
- Adriatic Coast-native, Italian ambient /psych /dub /leftfield /downtempo /trance /cosmic electronica producer Valerio Ebert, aka Oltrefuturo “Die Kosmische Trance” from the upcoming “Figure Del Flusso (Movimenti Adriatici)” 2xLP [Macadam Mambo]
Adriatic sea-nestled trascendental sound explorer with a crispy and lush multi-percussion-laden sultry and slinky downtempo excursion, slathered with far-sighted mellifluous spacey pads, acidic swirls and smooth stuttering seductive female spoken words to take the listener on a warmly chilled organic mindset found at the dead center of the cosmos
