PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- From Hell to Disco – #036 // ZAYD MANKAI
Berlin-based newcomer Zayd Mankai is a Tunisian–German DJ whose raw, deep and driving electronic sound has a strong penchant for Dark Disco, Industrial and EBM bents. A relentless, immersive journey through pulsing basslines, hypnotic rhythms, and gritty industrial textures that pushes the dancefloor into a darker territory.
- Bryn Jones‘ Muslimgauze – “Salaam Alekum, Bastard (Labret ‘Acïd el-Filtr’ Edit)” from the “Social(ist) Edits Vol.6” EP series (a selection of 6 Acid, Electro, and Italo Disco cuts remixed by French experimental electronic producer and Abstract Reality label head, Pierre Labret) [44,100Hz Social Club]
Symbolically out next June 17th, on UK electronic experimentalist and Palestine activist Bryn Jones’ birthday and open to Gaza children aid donations, the re-imagination of the circular tribal ritual trance of the original centres around a swaying sheath of warm, bouncy bass grooves, chugging acid spirals and heftier layers of dubby and crunchy percussive veneers to sping a forward moving, loose, and expansive new dizzy dimension.
- Berlin-based French ambient /deep techno /prog trance DJ, producer, and songwriter Emilia Josipović, aka Militsa – “VOLUPTA” off “Axis Mundi” EP [self-produced]
“A journey between body, soul, and cosmos”, “Volupta” invokes a heady immersion into transcendent and ancestral spirals of smooth rolling percussive patterns, trancey reverberations, whooshing ripples and euphoric breaths, to elicit a contemplative and cleansing state of mind.
- UK acid house /disco /breaks /electro producer Quinn Whalley (aka Brian Damage and member of Paranoid London, Sworn Virgins, Decius), aka Johnny Aux – “Supersonic (Chez de Milo Remix)” [Club Blanco]
Four highly compelling transmissions of unrestrained rousing dancefloor belters, dark and twisted around the edges. The standout, a murky, gritty, tripped-out acid groove of the Chez de Milo remix will melt your mind.
