- Barcelona, Spain synth wave /techno /electro producer Gonzalo Sendón, AKA Asymetric80 – “Rituals” from the upcoming V/A compilation 12″ EP “429″ on Waste Editions
Catalan producer Asymetric80 dives into a frigid, mysterious, mechanical as well as hypnotizing and futuristic electro journey, punctuated by foreboding dialogue samples, through dark buzzing bass undulations, lashing rhythms, sci-fi fired icy synth glares, and eerie twinkling tones, to swirl and sway hopelessly into modern dystopic dancefloor visions.
- Athens, Greek experimental /industrial /techno /dark electronics production duo Petros Spatharos & Bekha Mujiri – “Lies” from upcoming V/A “The Second Coming” compilation on Greek DIY label/collective Negative Sciences
As an intriguing teaser from the forthcoming second V/A compilation by Athenian DIY label/collective Negative Sciences, Greek atmospheric industrial techno experimentalist Petros Spatharos teams up with Georgian-native and fellow Athens denizen Bekha Mujiri injecting dark, sinister deceptions to malign the mind’s eye of impending dread by rotating menacing atmospherics into hypnotic builds, whilst drugged coma-inducing vocals release slurred warnings into stacked marching authoritarian slashing beats, swelling, droning bass line menace and scattering metallic echoes of fear and angst into a heady wasteland of mesmeric dancefloor doom.
