PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- OLE MIC ODD [KRI REC Takeover] [Mutant Radio // 21.06.2024]
West Coast hardware electro wizard and The New U.S. Government label head Michael Padgett, aka Ole Mic Odd with his distorted, raw, wicked mutant concoction of acid /funk /techno and electro sounds.
- Vancouver-by-way-of Brazil lo-fi /ambient /field recordings /tape music /electro-acoustic /downtempo /electronic /experimental artist Alexandre Klinke, aka Playback Head “South Beach” from the cassette album”Body of Water” [Hotham Sound Recordings]
The uplifting and lulling “South Beach” arouses a deeply emotional introspective pace stirred up by the wooshing motion of the shore’s undertow, dotted a smoothly crispy slow-slung beatbox and warm meandering bass pulses, sway with a gentle and intimate caressing aura that radiates from the interweaving with insistent wistful guitar melodies and harmonic spindly resonances, at times awash in liberating rippling angsty arpeggios, to unfurl in inner peace and clarity, lilted by the bubbly foam of waves dissolving on the shoreline.
- Montreal, Québec ritual industrial techno collaboration Yin Yang Audio & GARNUDEPOT – “Mineral Ash” single
A mystical tribal atmosphere slowly unfolds through a shivering stream of airy celestial vocals over distant primal warrior cries where the ritual, crawling pace of shaking and rattling drum loops, undercut by gritty droning bass oscillations, strident whirring strains, and clicking percussion hits, brings harmony to a battle between imaginary gods and monsters.
- Italian ambient /IDM /percussive /psych /trance /techno duo Christian Duka and Marco Maldarella, aka MARMO – “Inner Systems (Kai‘s rebundle)” off “Deaf Ears Are Sleeping” EP 12″ [Area 127]
Autralian producer kaisei ‘rebundles’ the heady blend of ambient, IDM, and trance-laden dance music by the Italian duo, through a bouncy and crisp percussive pattern build-up of immersive resonant and enigmatic environments, intersecting with droning low-end oscillations and humming, haunting reverberations in an enveloping mesmerizing combination to indulge in, yearning for endless flights of fancy.
