PICKS OF THE WEEK:

Knekelhuis # 64 – MOOPIE (A Colourful Storm)

Beijing-born, Melbourne, Australia based Moopie, mastermind of the mighty A Colourful Storm label and unpredictable eclectic DJ, this week shows up why with a lush and mesmerizing mix ‘turned out to be a dreamy, mostly 90’’s IDM selection, getting more bleepy techno-ish towards the end’.

Lithuanian experimental/industrial/techno/EBM producer TEATRE “Defeated By Own Hands” from the new V/A – “Northern Nightmares Vol.1” (UNR006) cassette compilation on Up North Records

First release of the year for Melbourne based label runs by Lachlan Bozin, aka Lbeeze with the first volume of a new tape compilation series featuring a bunch of the finest EBM, Industrial, techno underground producers; hard to highlight a track but the usual EBM-infested, icy synth-haunted, bangin’ techno cruncher by Lithuanian ace Teatre inexorably takes no prisoner.

Eye-opening speech.
