Weekly Electronic Music Tips –  JULY #27-23

PICKS OF THE WEEK:

  • Low Profile Radio’s Fusion Dance Session 023 // LEONARDO                                                                                     

Genre-defying invigorating set by up-and-coming young DJ and producer hailing from Buenos Aires, pulsating with jittery, crisp, and groovy off-kilter energy through Electro, Dance Punk, Wave, Funk, Bass Music, Breakbeat and all around. Boredom and predictability are surely not an option here.

  • Colchester, UK dark ambient /industrial /drone /noise /folk /electronics project led by multi-instrumentalists John Hannon and Stafford Glover, aka Enclosed & Silent Order “Broomway, 5am” from the upcoming album “Entrainment” [Hypostatic Union]

Explores the darker elements of Drone, Noise and Electronics interspersed with immersive Classical and ethereal Folk leanings. “Broomway, 5am” warms up with a haunting, slightly chaotic aura of swirling guitar drones, harsh reverbs, and serene hollow blowing tones to manifest a mysterious falling sensation into an enigmatic churning vortex of insidious doom, shifting into a nocturnal indigo 5am vision cast in prowling bleak pulsing bass lines, hypnotic crisp off-tempo beats, along with slowly swarming and whirring synth swathes, to alternate timeline perception with an alert vigilance from danger and excitement, like walking alone in the secret shadows under the full moon’s magic shapeshifting light.

  • Milan, Italy ambient /drone /dub /deep techno producer Biocym – “As The Day Begins” off of the split “Destinations. EP 14” Biocym | SAAM. [Indefinite Pitch]

Spacious and cosmic hypnotic sonics jiggle and unfurl with buzzing sonorous groovy bass ripples, swelling immersive pads, sizzling and chugging crispy percussions, metallic clanks, echoing whirring frequencies, and cocooning fluting synth sweeps, dragging the listener into a mysterious, cerebral and entrancing headspace.

  • London-based Dub /Bass /Leftfield /Downtempo /Experimental musician Tutu Ta “Death Hymn” from the upcoming “Lonely Eyes” LP [Macadam Mambo]

One of our fave unpredictable and consistent electronic sound providers, Macadam Mambo introduces straight outta London, the enigmatic act Tutu Ta combines echoing sparklingly punkish dubwise vibrations and intensely knocky and crisp percussive patterns with heavy groovy basslines, droning off-kilter frequencies and tantalizing dazed vocalizations to create a warm, yet slightly disturbing, sense of enveloping inebriating harmony and deeply compelling energy.
