Weekly Electronic Music Tips – June # 25-21
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- CLUB TULAROSA [APECAST007]
Courtesy of Newcastle Upon Tyne’s Ape-X, L.A. based production /DJ duo Ray Barragan and Lionel Rifkin, aka Club Tularosa, spark their mutual love of Italo disco, post-punk and new wave into a trance-inducing set delving deeply into the most unchartered cosmic and trippy realms of dance music.
- Barcelona‘s Italo /cosmic disco /electro producer and Italo Moderni label boss, Adrian Marth “Hypnotic Eyes (Geneva Jacuzzi Remix)” off upcoming “Red Nights” EP via Wrong Era and Italo Moderni
Nostalgically familiar yet irresistibly modern, L.A. based artist Geneva Jacuzzi infuses an alluring, juicy dose of her ‘uncompromisingly obtuse synth-driven pop’ vibes to Marth‘s distinctive ’80s electro meets cosmic Italo Disco palette. Anticipatory dance beats ignite, bouncy bass lines, and warm soaring synth swathes with twinkling spacey dimensions around the sensual male/female vocal interplay of secret sassy groans, whispers, and echoes lit by a neon sparkling disco groove, rolling rhythms, and hypnotic rattle shakes, for a secret rendezvous of carnal ecstasies with “Hypnotic Eyes.”
- Barcelona-based, Catalan experimental /techno /EBM /industrial dark electronic artist VINILETTE “Kinky (Feat Arcyniegas)” from upcoming cassette EP “Mysteria” on Fill-Lex Records
An excellent all-around debut equally highly danceable yet cinematically atmospheric, constantly building a densely enwrapping sense of tension and darkness, from Barcelona based, by way of Berlin, Catalan multifaceted dark electronic artist Vinilette. Joined, for the occasion, by fellow Barcelona-based, Colombian producer Arcyniegas, “Kinky” sparks intense crashing beats that stomp mercilessly through EBM-embedded droning bass line treachery, emitting quick flickering sparks of danger around atmospheric ‘kinky’ breathes of euphoric moans to light the dark corridors of the mind with ecstatic whipping electricity.
- Belgrade experimental /ambient /tribal /psych /acid /downtempo /electronic duo Nebojša Bogdanović and Goran Simonoski, aka TAPAN “Last Call”
Belgrade-based production duo Nebojša Bogdanović (Schwabe) and Goran Simonoski, with a new Middle Eastern-flavoured, tribal and trippy, magical sultry excursion to trigger dark primal vibes, blending ominous pulses with twinkling synth strains, and distant, repetitious beats, that stomp hypnotically through the menace of oscillating bass tones, amidst syncopated crispy percussive patterns, building dynamic textures with cold, spatial expansions and quivering exotic strings, weaving intersecting arcane dimensions of ritual lore and mystery through the mind’s eye of imagination.
