PICKS OF THE WEEK:

  • Disco Pastors Mix №: 063 – RADONDO

UK-born, Berlin-based versatile DJ-producer and Slow Motion Records-affiliated, Radondo has quickly become a prevalent artist within the German capital. Tying together his Post-Punk, EBM, Wave and New Beat influences, Radondo creates a tantalizing atmosphere drenched in nostalgia through forward-thinking production and energetic selections that have lit up dance floors from Vilnius to New York.

  • Mexico ambient /IDM /bass music /drum & bass /experimental electronic producer and Ineffable Records co-founder, Sotolo – “Mueca” from “Chateau” EP [Ineffable]

Mind-bending, immersive, freestyling construction and deconstruction of IDM, Ambient, Bass Music, Dub, Techno and Drum & Bass elements that form the intricate sonic lexicon of an earnest personal travelogue between place, memory, and emotional transition.

  • UK-based industrial /EBM /electro /darkwave /electronic duo of Tom Middleton and Kai Sheldon, Cruel Blue “White Noise (EVIL DUST Remix)”

The crushing, and sharp-edged Evil Dust remix places hellish screams and twisted strained distortions atop a grimy and harsh conveyor belt of rapid-fire heavy pounding kicks, crashing snares and razor-edged bursts, adding grit, rust, menace, and unease instead of the original’s smooth, magnetic vocal delivery.

  • Berlin-based Italian-born psych /broken beats /techno DJ-producer VSK “Alignment” from upcoming “Alignment” EP [Mord]

Title track and the most atmospheric of the three previews, “Alignment” is a deep drifting excursion of bubbling and shufflin’ groovy percussive polyrhythmic flows, laced with vibrant liquid drapes of flickering melancholic chimes, to take us on a both stirring and mesmerizing transcendental trip.
