Weekly Electronic Music Tips – June # 24-21
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- SCHWABE [Disco Not Disco Takeover] [12.06.2021- Rinse FM]
One-half of Belgrade-based experimental electronic production duo, Tapan, along with Goran Simonoski, and resident at 20/44 club, Nebojša Bogdanović aka Schwabe entwines an equally murky and esoteric as well as narcotic and pulsating flow brimming with changing electronic carpets of arcane melodies and dissonant reverberations, conjugated to winding slow and hypnotic percussive patterns, laced with mysterious charm and intense evocative energy, capable of capturing and enveloping into a mind-bending relentless motion of ecstatic atmospheric drone and enthralling mesmeric subdued rhythmic incantations.
- Italian electro-disco producer, musician, DJ and co-owner of Raibano Records, Alberto Melloni – “Red Siren (Local Suicide Remix)” off 2-tracker single on Paradise Palms Records
Berlin-based prismatic electronic production/DJ pair, Local Suicide, re-imagine the original triggering a prowling bass line that crawls and bounces through the ‘Red Siren”s spinning high pitched obsessive alarming drone to hypnotically wind punchy mechanical snare beats, and energetic stuttering and tinkling percussive strains into a rapturous Afro vocal-dusted ritual, mind-blowing summer sunset dance-floor euphoria.
- Rennes techno /industrial /EBM duo The Black Anther – “Metal Break” off V/A “First meet with Lise London” first volume of a compilation series via new Rennes’ label Hertzel records
Brand new label, Hertzel Records, as well as a new musical project, The Black Anther, from the ever fervent multifaceted Rennais music scene dropping their first killer EBM-embedded industrial techno storm through pulverizing rhythms that march hypnotically through a whirlwind of primal metallic creaks and sinister bass lines flickering treacherous dominions to rise and fall in explosive ritual intensity, while eerie exotic synth strains pierce the ominous vibrations with high-energy squeaks, to ignite and scorch the dancefloor.
- New York minimal electronics /minimal wave /synth /electro project by Sean McBride (one half ofXeno And Oaklander), aka MARTIAL CANTEREL “Windharp” [KRAFTJERKZ 057]
Second KRAFTJERKZ excursion for minimal electronic maestro, Sean McBride, mixing swirling melodic synth ambience and jarring and throbbing rhythmic dissonance through high-energy pulsating and flashing layers of airy bright synth stabs to interlock relentlessly with tinkling mutable percussive patterns and oscillating bass tones, that bounce, roll and wander along steady mechanical snare beats to form a heady whimsical symphony of equally inexorably groovy yet fascinatingly esoteric, electro dancefloor dimensions.
