Weekly Electronic Music Tips – JUNE #24-23
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- HORROR SHOW #12 // EVIL DUST
Rather well known for a while over here through his one-off self-released singles, the enigmatic Whitechapel, London-born DJ-Producer EVIL DUST has always embodied the concept of provocation and agitation with a thirst for cursed images, as his cover artwork relentlessly suggests. Courtesy of Ultra‘s Horror Show guest mix ( premiered also at @Radiokapital 12/06 at 22:00 CET), Evil Dusts‘ one-hour set delivers a cathartic array of hard-hitting Techno, murky throbbing EBM and gritty Industrial for an uncompromising assault on the dancefloor.
- Leipzig-based Electro /Body Music /New Wave /Techno producer, painter, Rat Life label boss, Alexander Dorn a.k.a. Credit 00 “Count 8” title track of the upcoming EP [Mechatronica]
The first preview by Leipzig‘s Credit 00 injects staggering, jittery and erratic machine funk electro grooves through a super speed cyber countdown to fuse robotic vocals with high-speed rolling dry beats, slithering and meandering acidic basslines, and glitchy icy bright synth motifs, to deliver a restless, antsy, subliminal dancefloor vision of unforeseen futures
- Brussels based acid /house /dark disco /progressive /trance /electronic DJ-producer and Higher Hopes boss (half of Los Niños Del Parque), DC Salas “A Second Home” off “Pressure” EP [R.A.N.D. Muzik X Echocentric]
A groovy and bouncy blend of crisp punchy percussions, rapid-fire rubbery basslines and zappy acidic strains, with shivering trancey synth swirls and trippy FXs to build heady unpredictable ebbs and flows of mesmerizing and entrancing suggestions to set the dancefloor ablaze.
- London, UK acid /house /psychedelic /cosmic /electronic producer Matt Gunn “Sun-Mobil” from the single “Bad Toys”
A perfect way to funk up our summer with an upbeat, nostalgic and groovedelic jam by English producer that skips through sparkling, soulful sun-lit guitar tones that rise and fall in an array of dancing intensities, stirring syncopated gripping rhythms into a heady conglomeration of jiggling, droning, and acidic bass lines, obsessive, hypnotic synth strains, nostalgic keyed melodies, and tinkling metallic cowbells, bursting into a minimal vocal suggestion of euphoric sunshine bliss.
