Weekly Electronic Music Tips – July # 27-21
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- VINILETTE [Comme des Larmes podcast #54]
Fresh from the excellent 6-track mini-album, “After The Silence”, via Fill-Lex Records, Barcelona-based and Frigio Records affiliated Catalan electronic artist and radio broadcaster, Vinilette, perfectly deploys, courtesy of label/podcast Comme Des Larmes, her unique and diverse DJ style through raw, obscure and timeless old-school sounds, while also introducing some tracks from the forthcoming Frigio Records release and some Vinilette edits.
- Esin Avşar – “Zühtü (Tamati Edit)” off V/A “Serenades Edit”
Utterly captivating edit of 1986 classic from Turkish folk singer and stage actress, Esin Avşar, by Milan-based DJ/remixer Tamati, that through swaying, hypnotic and driving dance beats, warm glowing keyboard swirls and watery bouncy bass oscillations, interspersed by irresistibly piercing and lysergic saz string flourishes in sync with intoxicating bracing female chants, will take you on a spellbinding and vibrant exotic dancefloor journey.
- Utrecht, Netherland ambient /acid /techno /electro producer Tjade “Balancing Act” title track from the new 2-track EP “Balancing Act” on These Eyes Rec.
Dutch-bred Tjade with a mesmeric 2-tracker of atmospheric, acid sprinkled, techno/electro cuts. Sturdy hitting dance beats march autonomously with the rapid flicker of acid-strewn bassline treachery, while eerily serene chilling sonar swells and ethereal, quivering breaths, flutter hypnotically into the heady ebb and flow of sheer anticipation aroused by trancey bright synth swirls, to detoxify oppressed energies with an electrifying clash of multi-tonal dimensions.
- Parisian electro /EBM /synth /techno producer Notausgang “United Desolation Statement” from the upcoming debut album “Third Encounter” on X-IMG
60s/70s psych-rock-nourished, French producer is slowly unveiling his debut album fueled with his distinctive, sharp and deflagrating, EBM-embedded, dystopic dark techno sound. “United Desolation Statement” blasts primal breathing dominions igniting a menacing rumbling bassline to drive through steam-powered industrial dance beats and unstoppable stomping rhythms, where high voltage frequencies and explosive synthetic effects warp time and energy into a terminal dance floor disruption.
