• Smoke Machine Podcast 147 / SEPEHR                                                                                                                   

Courtesy of Taipei based record label Smoke Machine, dynamic Bay Area native DJ, NYC based producer, and remixer Sepehr delivers an almost two-hour set rife with erratic and whimsical tribal, electro, techno, breakbeat and psychedelic sounds for a dizzying and sensual trip from the Iranian diaspora.

• Enigmatic Los Angeles‘ fetish Industrial /Acid /Techno /EBM act, Damascus Knives “You Want Control” single on SquareWav
  

L.A.‘s New Beat-inflected techno-goth fetishist instigates cold dark dangerous moods to entrap sinister echoes, distant magnetic belligerent vocals, swelling droning basslines, and stomping stark beats into a demonic dancefloor dungeon where eerie stinging vibrations, erratic, icy chiming synth swathes and lashing whips surround “Hail Satan” worship with dire doom.

• Nashville-based synthpop /darkwave /synth producer Jordan Lieb, aka Black Light Smoke “Work feat. Léah Lazonick (Street Mix)” from upcoming EP “Work” on his own Death Decay Magic
  

Deft creator of ‘synthesizer music for degenerates,’ Rochester, NY‘s producer and composer Jordan Lieb unveils the first teaser from the next remix EP under his Black Light Smoke moniker. Modern lyrical dystopia imbues deadpan and distorted Léah Lazonick‘s vocals with dull mechanical ideals, whilst sinister EBM fueled bass throbs, angsty glitchy melodies, icy bright synth strains, crisp percussions, and marching beats configure an intoxicating electronic algorithm of addictive Electroclash dancefloor vibes.

Russian musician, vocalist and producer from St. Petersburg, Anastasia Zems, sticks on her distinctive gripping acidic inflexions and stark and crisp breakbeat rhythmic patterns through jiggly buzzing bass lines to drive groovy, swayed, prowling vibes through a hypnotic exhalation of narcotic female whispers, stumbling beats, and nervous mechanics to unfold in an alternate dimension of surreal shimmery Middle-Eastern-tinged synth swirls and loose acid flecked dancefloor fanciful dreams.
