Weekly Electronic Music Tips – June # 23-21

 

PICKS OF THE WEEK:
  • Virgo Rising w/ LISSA                                                                                                                                                          
Berlin-based, Glasgow-bred DJ, courtesy of noodsradio.com, pulls out her fresh and powerful arsenal of dark disco, techno, electro, industrial, EBM, 80s post-punk & wave, shifting with proficiency around a hypnotic mind-blowing set of jaw-dropping rhythms, ominous gut-throbbing bass basslines, and wheezing, swirling synth tones, to catapult the dancefloor into orbit.
  • Lyon, France experimental /ambient /industrial /downtempo /dubstep /abstract /breaks /electronic producer Jonnnah “Friendly Tribute” from the upcoming album “Mental & Physical” on Worst Records                                      

Lyon based experimentalist triggers an otherwordly, mind-boggling ‘Mental & Physical’ recollection of the lingering sounds defining his sonic heritage. An enigmatic and magnetic organic concoction of hypnotic dub-infused sharp percussive patterns, whirring and droning ominous low frequencies, arcane airy bright synth washes, eerie pulsing lustrous chords, sizzling and rumbling bass tones, merging into a swaying rhythmic final flashing surge of equally soothing and disturbing, yet stimulating trippy sonic escapism.   

  • Toulouse based, FrenchLebanese industrial /EBM /ethnic /electro /techno producer Psaum, aka Arabian Panther “Garonne Express” from upcoming V/A “Le Debut de la Fin” via his new label TGC (Toulouse Gouffre Club)                                                                                                                                                                                   

Although my father’s lineage is not too far from Toulouse, already at the start of the 2000s, a friend of mine used to enthusiastically talk, to my amazement, about his 24 hour party holidays at ‘la Ville en rose’, evidently, despite his exaggerated tendencies, he was not entirely joking… FrenchLebanese techno warrior delivers his distinctive multifaced sonic fragrances to celebrate the fervent Occitan electronic scene, through the first official compilation by the newborn label/collective “Toulouse Gouffre Club” Crew. Deep rumbling bass pulses, bouncing tones, and relentless sputtering beats propel through a tripping ride of swirling epic synth strains, resonant bell chimes, primal acidic croaks and swooshing low frequencies, to buzz-build mind-expanding spacey moods of multi-dimensional fleshly, dancefloor energy.          

  • Cagliari, Italy ambient /breakbeat /electro /techno /drum & bass /electronic producer LAST LIFE “Destination Unknown” title track from the new EP “Destination Unknown”

A heady introspection on both murky and obsessive, as well as sharp and neat, mutant breakbeat /d&b sounds, embedded in slow tempos at 170 bpm. The leading track deploys ominous icy organic synth stabs that linger amidst driving pulses of warm muted thumps and hypnotic lashing snares, interspersed by swishes, buzzing deep drones and echoing hallucinated glassy chords, opening cold ritual doorways of the mind, while brittle warped tones oscillate into multi-planal layers of dark outer spatial bliss.
