PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- BERTRAM @ Intergalactic FM Festival 2026
Amsterdam-based experienced eclectic DJ-producer introduced this year’s local Intergalactic FM Festival with some vintage selections covering Disco, Italo, Proto Acid, bootleg edits and more. This Thursday, June 4th, he will be back on the Intergalactic FM airwaves for Panama Racing Club, hanging out with Marsman and others. Lock in!
- Gothenburg, Sweden acid /downtempo /psychedelic /electronic trio Datasal “Karavan” single
Swedish organic psychedelic three-piece takes us into an immersive, slinky, subtly acid flecked meandering of mid-tempo relaxed headiness, leisurely pulsing along shuffling crisp percussions and rubbery bass grooves, wrapped in uncanny sharp guitar reverberations and sinuous, vivid sensations, swirling around in changing, attention-grabbing degrees of sultry surreal allure.
- Bristol, UK bass /breaks /electro DJ-producer K-65 “My Love” single [Club Glow]
UK producer strikes the dancefloor-minded sweet spot between the high energy bounce of crisp frenetic breakbeats and groove-centric buzzy bass swells, peppered with anxiously soulful female vocals, urgently repeating “I ain’t giving my love to you tonight.”
- Italian EBM /techno /dark electro duo Violet Poison & Echo Protocol – “Into the Silent Blue” from V/A “Cold Voltage Vol. 1” EP white series [Mechatronica]
Italian production duo explores the bristly and sizzling intersection between fiery human emotion and dynamic chilly machine precision, in a high-energy, crunchy EBM-infused Electro affair, that ignites mechanical thumping beats and frenetic low-end syncopations, whilst disconnected and buzzy neurotic drones meander around distorted vocals, wrought by raw melancholia and a stark, toughly wounded attitude.
