Weekly Electronic Music Tips – JULY #28-23
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- DTP#20 – NON PUNIRE
Already highly valued for his productions on both Pildoras Tapes and Brokntoys, Barcelona-based Colombian producer Non Punire has deftly orchestrated a heady combination of cold, minimal and mechanical synth-laden electro-wave sounds and sinister murky bleak industrial-dusted atmospherics, deftly juxtaposing unpredictable off-kilter leanings and relentless high-fueled dancing intensity.
- Milan-based dub /kraut /leftfield /psych /downtempo /slow techno electronic producer, sound designer and DJ, Alberto de Angeli, aka Aheadacheaday – “Tempo” from V/A – “Vago Spazio Del Ritmo – Vol.1” CD compilation [Details Sound]
Collected by Turin‘s label Details Sound, 12 artists have, as the title suggests, vaguely ‘wandered’ among new unexplored atmospheres, pushing the boundaries that define the dimension of listening and dancefloor, through quirky, erratic, off-kilter downtempo percussive-laden depth-defying sounds to revive your inner energy and stir your imagination. Milan-based sound drifter takes the listener to an otherworldly immersive ride through the sultry trippy grooves of crisp syncopated dubwise percussions along chugging basslines, encircled by a crackling array of soaring abrasive resonances, echoing synth glows, and heady droning reverberations, to enlighten a dim headspace with repetitive swaying and swirling mesmeric feels of unexpected insight.
- Tel Aviv based post-punk /psych /synthpop /indie dance Malka Tuti label alumni duo Plazmot “Mehapes Tzarot” off upcoming V/A “Tanzers Eins” EP [Malka Tuti]
Follow-up to their faraway 2018 hit 7″ single, the Tel Aviv duo delivers ‘an homage to a street, to an idea, to a dream, a fantasy’, triggering snappy punchy drum kicks, addictive 80s heavily stuttering basslines, and intermittent bursts of rolling, and swelling crackly percussions, relentlessly fueling pensive, stoically aching vocals with unpredictable electrifying dancing Electro-Pop attitudes.
- Bogotá, Colombia industrial /darkwave /dark future techno production duo DEATHCROOERS & Ulisess “Speed of Dark” single
Magnetic NIN vibes throb into hypnotic crunchy and groovy undulating bass lines, hard-hitting dance beats, rolling percussive breaks, along with grinding, buzzing synthetic sweeps, whilst harsh groaning distorted vocals, struggle to unnervingly emerge into darkness from a sinister outburst of apocalyptic doom.
