UK electronic musician explores the fertile Electro-Acoustic intersection between the classic 80s and futuristic 90s Ambient sound, laced with kraut-tinged cosmic and Oriental suggestions, to create immersive tactile soundscapes with an organic breath, both lulling and reflective, yet subtly restless, soaked in abstract reiterative layers of atmospheric swelling pads, sparkling synthetic modulations, glitching and flickering ripples, swirled radiant flutters, grainy frequencies, and muted percussions, to transport the listener into a crackling and monochromatic mesmerizing dimension outside the space-time coordinates.
- Mango – “Bella D’Estate (Tagliabue ‘Eterno Ritorno’ Mix)”
Italian producer re-imagines the 1987 Mango classic through immersive, vibrant and swirling electronic textures that float through deep mysterious cinematic synth drifts, murky droning undercurrents, driving percolating chugging basslines, and evocative echoing vocal samples, into a vivid flickering and rippling sensory sonic venture permeated by a magnetic trance-inducing aura in an endless loop of infinite repetitions.
- German dark ambient /techno /electro producer David Friedrich Koch, aka Shokh “Bleech” from upcoming S/T EP [brokntoys]
