PICKS OF THE WEEK:

- Brussels/Marseille ambient /dub /tribal /psychedelic /ritual /electronic performative project of Léo Campbell (Techno Thriller) and Alban Mercier (Officium), Ended – “Sunrise (ft. Catherine Danger)” from the new album “CIRCADIAN” on Demord Enregistrements
Brussels/Marseille duo unveils an intoxicating and riveting glimpse of their sultry, lush, and vibrant “mushrooms sunset-party”, rife with ancestral tribal suggestions, mystical obscure fascinations and modern trance, teetering between synthetic and organic, to create droning and trance-inducing phantasmagoric atmospheric soundscapes. A trippy oneiric and lysergic jam that captures an insect dawn in the jungle, flickering to life with chirping, fluttering, droning primal gasps for sunlight, amid slow seductive esoteric female whispers and cunning echoes, while enigmatic crisp ritual beats, piercing reverberated shimmers and throbbing bass line’s crawl and take time to scatter the reflective rays through a poignant edge of rhythmic vibrations.
- Dublin-based, Kent-born IDM /techno /electro producer CIGNOL “Echus Chasma” off upcoming “Future State” EP on Unknown To The Unknown
Dublin-based producer explores, with his distinctive electro prowess, emotive, melodic and atmospheric stellar dimensions that pulse, zip, and sprawl along with icy shimmering sinister synth swathes, dry hypnotic rhythms, robotic vocals, and squiggly acidic bass tones to rise and fall in enshrouding tinkly surges of chill-out aloof dancing inclinations.
- Berlin-based techno /electro producer Alpha Visitor “Astromata” from “Interdimensional Doorway” EP on Larmes
Berlin-based producer delivers four atmospheric sci-fi dark technoid electro cuts, both hypnotising and glittering, laced with eerie flat and icy bright sinister synth strains, ominously pulsing buzzing bassline and mechanical off-tempo beats to create rolling and chiming swirls of motion building layers of tension and fear into expanding sparkling sidereal dimensions of prowling uncanny menace and chilling, nocturnal spatial dance grooves.
