Weekly Electronic Music Tips – MAY #20-22
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Return To Acid Planet [Junted Series – Volume 2] by MEMORY CLAP ACID
Born out of the ashes of the late 90’s California Bay Area rave scene, the post-hardcore & experimental movement of the early 2000s & his current involvement in recording & engineering his friends Cold Wave, Minimal Wave, & Body Music bands, Northern California based DJ/producer Aldo Giovanni AKA Memory Clap Acid unleashes a ‘non-genre’ mix of sludgy acid techno cuts and squelches along with twisted and rugged leftfield electronic music.
- Colombian Electro /Industrial /EBM /techno producer Felipe Novoa, AKA Magnum Opus “The Grave (Original mix)” from the upcoming “The Grave” EP on Nu Body Records
Colombian producer creaks and buzzes into bleak and ominous industrial-tinged dimensions spawning glowing, dramatic synth swarms, stacked strings of anxious twinkling chords, spastic pounding beats, ominous EBM-charged undulating bass vibrations, and scattered vocal distortions into an over-drive of cold and murky moods left dancing desperately on a grey dystopic dancefloor of impending doom.
- Naples, Italy EBM /industrial /electro /goth /dark electronics producer SHARPLINES “The only thing they fear is you (Edit)”
South Italian noise-techno terrorist returns, after a hiatus from his usual prolific path, with an unruly and squelching, swirling guitar charged, brain-smashing industrial techno-punk bombshell to fuel dangerous dancefloor realms with a doomy crushing cavalcade of a blistering metallic storm.
- Nižnij Novgorod, Russia Italo disco /synthpop project NIGHT CALLER “Chase” from V/A “TAKT TAPE 00” tape compilation album on TAKT
On the same wavelength as dizzying synth-wave labels such as Kendal‘s Ritmo Fatale, an upcoming friendly cassette collection of musicians (producers) and DJs, who were united by joint performances in nightclubs in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. A guilty pleasure to ignite dancefloor imaginations, through a titillating eruption of stuttering and swirling bass pulses, steady pounding HI-NRG rhythms, and canny crisp cowbells, whilst flashes and flares of high-strung bright soaring synth lines quiver and ripple giddy heat waves of desire, through the intoxicating pallet of nostalgic, mesmeric bliss.
