- Buenos Aires, Argentina Industrial/Dark Techno/Acid /Electro/EBM producer ︻╦╤─ Dim Deck // ???????????? ???????????????? ‘No Scope”
Argentinian producer layers menacing and dire eternal bass loop grind atop lashing whips and cracks as rambling, indecipherable male vocals scratch pain-filled distorted echoes swept in deadly steady mechanical beats, visciously crushing everything in its path into dust.
- Melbourne, Australia EBM /dark electronic producer and Up North Records head, LBEEZE “Different Time” from V/A “THE AWAKENING: PESTILENT EXPRESSIONS 2” tape compilation on The Black Lodge
A little bit late on this excellent and meaningful Volume 2 of the benefit compilation series (tape currently sold-out at the source) ‘made in the spirit of love and resistance’ from members of L.A.’s The Black Lodge and Texas’ Fantasy 1 family. Lbeeze track bursts out through ominous and relentless tight rhythmic pattern along persistent sinister bassline lurching urgency, while dark caustic vocals laugh and repeat, “It was a different time” into the dire synth melodies and eerie dark wandering echoes. Umpteenth impeccable EBM-inflected killer cut from Aussie producer

The rework by Dreems‘ ‘partner in crime’, along with Thomas Von Party, in Die Orangen, Kris Baha, ‘rides a cosmic wave into the blue hour’ through ominous and dire luscious trippy bassline that injects both menacing treachery and dangerous tantalising allure into the swirling and twinkling murky shark waters, blooming lost eerie cosmic echoes, as hypnotic mechanical beats and metallic claps scratch the sinister opaque surface with abrasive disarray.
