The Barbican Estate, London – Chamberlin, Powell and Bon Architects

PICKS OF THE WEEK:
  • Erevos Podcast 85 | Maniaque Nocturne                                                                                                           

Moroccan electronic musician /producer Maniaque Nocturne delves into the edge of Industrial realms, ceaselessly adding elements of EBM, Dark Electro and Post-Punk (as we’ve already been able to ascertain in the latter case), combining primal and raw analogue sounds, organic buzzing drones with ritual rattling hypnotic drum patterns, meaty throbbing bassline and dark ambient textures for an all-encompassing moreish both listening and dancing experience.

  • Buenos Aires, Argentina‘s EBM /disco /electro /acid /techno production duet May Mc Laren and Palmariello, aka Happy707 – “すばらしい (Lbeeze Remix)” from upcoming EP “Bodyworxxx” on Death Decay Magic                     

Australian EBM ace Lbeeze‘s rework equips the original cut with stark slashing galloping rhythms and droning rumbling bassline menace wrapped with rough sounds, unsettling echoes and swarms of cybernetic screechy turbulence, primed for a harsh and sweaty darkroom dancefloor devastation.

  • Lithuania psych /leftfield /dark disco /indie dance producer /songwriter /DJ Aurimas Milesinas aka Aurum Miles “Modern Slavery” title track from the EP “Modern Slavery” on Inflect Records

Off-kilter, mind-boggling dancing electronica by Vilnius artist through driving rumbling buzzing bassline, constantly interspersed by foghorn blows and surrounded by uncanny Eastern European female vocals, slowly pulsing, as it is obsessive, strident yet irresistibly hypnotic, building mesmeric swirling metallic swathes of hallucinated bright resonances pervaded by an equally magnetic and disturbing, enigmatic dark vibe.

  • Istanbul based experimental /downtempo /psych /electronic producer Houschyar – “Smell Of A Wet Towel” off the upcoming Mini-LP “Lengua Universale” [Späti Records]                                                                                                      

Istanbul-based electronic artist’s new Mini-LP is ‘an attempt to transcribe the olfactory experience of walking down the busy, dark and narrow streets of Taksim in the night hours’. “Smell Of A Wet Towel” unrolls dark, esoteric and murky vibes through organic percolating bass drones, whirring reverbs, piling penetrating uncanny synth chords, fueled by hypnotic ancestral percussive patterns in a hypnotic slow flow in constant subtle mutation to drift relentlessly enveloping and overwhelming with its lysergic fumes and intense sultry magnetism, impossible to escape drowning into the quicksand of turbid and mysteriously ominous thickness.

  • Saint-Petersburg, Russia electro/dark disco/coldwave/darkwave DJ/producer MORZE — ‘Zima- Instrumental” (Звуки Му cover) on his own Oberwave Records
