PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Comme Des Larmes avec RUMORE [Rinse France – 12 Juillet 2022]
Slow, sludgy, sultry, obsessive and enveloping are some facets that define the vibrant and compelling sets by Brazilian DJ, Comme des Larmes podcast curator and radio host, Thiago Cantarutti AKA Rumore, sprinkled with Industrial, Electro, Breaks, Acid bass-heavy sounds, which generate tantalising trance-inducing and mechanical rhythmic urges in order to dance relentlessly.
- Berlin-based collaborative Electro /New Wave /Dark Disco band project by the producer Kalipo and the DJ/producer couple Local Suicide fronted by Greek native Dina P., DINA SUMMER “Amore” from the debut album “Rimini” out now on Audiolith International
As perhaps one of the most beautiful Italian songs from the ’60s suggests to us, “I hate summer / That gave its perfume to every flower / The summer that created our love / To make me die of pain”, or better to say mostly saddens and unnerves me, especially with this heat, more than electrifies and uplifts. As always, only music is able to awaken us from hopeless comatose states, and what’s better than the energizing and entrancing concoction of retro dancing grooves created by the Berlin-based combo, embedded in dizzying scents of Italo disco classics, with the invigorating addition of New Wave, Indie Dance, Punk and Electroclash nuances, to bounce and sweat under an intoxicating summer moonlit skies. Although named after our East Coast rivals, “Rimini”, the DINA SUMMER‘s debut album is out now, absolutely not to be missed.
