Weekly Electronic Music Tips – July # 28-21
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Dissidents Mix #1 – Ólta Karawane
Long time favourite alcoholic duo from Moscow, Ólta Karawane, with their unmistakable and unpredictable, ceaselessly surprising, and intriguing DJ sets. Courtesy of Saint-Petersburg’s Dissidents bar, expect everything beyond imagination, from raw mesmeric dub, to strident free jazz, leftfield broken electronica to gritty funky sludge, from obscure Russian post-punk to twisted German NDW, certain to inebriate your imagination and widen your music knowledge.
- Sicilian Italo /cosmic disco electronic star-gazers Phunkadelica “The Decadance” from upcoming “Sogno Lucido” EP on Correspondant
Hypnotic, sparkling, both trippy and groovy, cosmic electronica from the Italian production duo. Symmetric synth tones march hypnotically through bouncy percolating bass oscillations and soft, warm glowing textures forming blissful and spatial layers of starry introspection inside of twinkling twilight dimensions whilst soft buzzing flows and repetitive crispy rolling beats drive through a glistening web of reverb expansions ebbing and flowing narcotically into surging sessions of “Phunkadelica” dancefloor “Decadance.”
- French Italo disco /electro pop duo Vague D’azur – “Nuit D’ivresse (Valerj Midnight Love Remix)” on Bastia-based From Disco To Disko
The originally funky, groovy and dreamy summer-strewn French pop tune from the start of the year, has been reshaped by From Disco to Disko label co-founder, Valerj, into a glowing, nightly and haunting neon-lit disco/electro-pop reverie with hypnotic snare beats thump along ceaselessly rolling and percolating wistful bassline, while a warm rising synth radiance stirs French whispers to disappear under searing flashing chord melodies making way for anxious, breathless female vocals releasing dreamy desires with an underlying mystery of melancholy into the dark, sensual and bewitching dancefloor allure.
- London, UK breakbeat /electro producer Emile Facey, aka Plant43 – “Unknown Structure” title track from the EP “Unknown Structure” [Future Massive]
Exquisitely crafted bright, atmospheric, highly emotive and moody electro cuts from the prolific London based production unit. Futuristic spatial domains expand constant blinking flitters of chiming glows, gassy hissing bass oscillations, icily sweeping melodious glaring synth flows, and tight, mesmeric rhythmic patterns, to eerily rise and fall at alternate speed differentials, centring the body and mind with superhuman clarity and breakbeat dancefloor focus.
