PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Galactic Funk Podcast 085 // PASTRAM
Courtesy of Amsterdam‘s Galactic Funk Podcast, Geneva-based, Italian-born DJ and resident of Motel Campo Pastram unrelenting whips up killer all vinyl sets spanning electro, EBM, Italo, and industrial through a cutting-edge and uncompromising selection of banging body music.
- Russian experimental /dub /new age /psych /ambient producer Alexander Sirenko, AKA Coral Club “High Temple” from the upcoming album “Lost Cities” on Moon Glyph
Moscow based electribalist Alexander Sirenko’s equally idyllic and disturbing third wandering under his Coral Club moniker, ventures deep into the fog-laden ruins of “Lost Cities”. The first preview unfurls eerie, serene engaging atmospheric textures rattle, tweet, and chime in a shamanic wonderland of sights and sounds, to flourish into melancholic keyboard melodies, ritual smoothly tapping tinny percussions, and off-kilter flute-like transfixions below soaring swirls and flights of fancy, to expand in vast, depth-defying dimensions of hallucinatory thought-forms invoking latent wisdom and insight from the vast well of collective celestial consciousness.
- UK lo-fi /EBM /acid /dark electro /techno producer Mike Smith (aka Crossover Network) aka E.L.I. – “Shattered Nerves” from the upcoming 10″ vinyl EP “Malicious Content” on Glasgow‘s label Lifeforms
UK producer walks the dizzying tightrope between EBM, Acid and Electro employing his humble trickery-free hardware setup to ignite urgent, groovy, hypnotic dancing pounding rhythms to drive relentless energy and excitement through a thick, squelchy, undulating tunnel of bass boom bounces and buzzing looping synth swirls and acidic FX, whilst excruciating distorted screams invoke pain and doom from the dark dank regions of lit dancefloor dungeons.
- Irish electro producer Robert Stapleton AKA High Fidelity – “Chaser” from the upcoming V/A “Hot Seat Vol.3” EP on Hotseat Recordings
Irish producer unleashes an electrifying, raw and throbbing electro hit, that bounces through a vibrant flurry of ominously heavy buzzing bassline, mercilessly slashed by crisp slicing percussions and punchy kicks, surrounded with bracing echoing vocal snippets along glacial, fluctuating, and crushing synth swirls to instigate a heady ejection of toxic dancefloor moods.
