Weekly Electronic Music Tips #31
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- DJ HEAP – Edwin № 92
To cool down and brighten this post-pandemic, or still pandemic in most cases, sultry masked summer comes to our help the groovy and unpredictable “Balearic Lovesong Collection” DJ-set from forward-thinking Vienna‘s music stalwart Florian Stöffelbauer aka Heap, who co-runs the influential label Neubau and sub-label Wiener Brut, alongside local producer, Simon Heidemann aka Bocksrucker.
- Experimental electronics/electro solo project by Colombia‘s drummer and synth music producer Christian Valderrama, aka PANORAMA LINEAL “Smash the system ft. Ravetop” off V/A cassette ”Crime Violente Vol.4” on Melbourne’s Up North Records
Another killer electronic punk compilation from Melbourne based Lbeeze‘s Up North Records, replete of some of the best contemporary international DIY lo-fi/EBM/industrial techno sound; Colombian producer Panorama Lineal joins forces with the unmistakable vocals of Revetop inviting us to ‘Smash The System” through bouncing and trance-inducing, dub-poetry tinged, industrial electro rhythms.
- Canadian electronic musician from Toronto, GABE KNOX “Synthetic Soundbath” off forthcoming 10″ EP “Cosmic Motorik Adventures & Machine Language Music” available on Polytechnic Youth (PY 114)
Canadian cosmic synthesist delivers a steadily motorik built-up jam, as mesmerizing as it is gripping, centred around moody mind-expanding anodyne yet blazing floating synth swirls and repetitive pulsing basslines, wafting to mind-expanding extrasensory interstellar realms.
- Brazilian experimental industrial noise techno producer Edvan Marques Ferreira, aka MVQX “HIGH, DRUNK AND HELPLESS feat. RAVETOP” from the new EP “Social Disaster” on BURACO
4-tracker from Brazilian producer MVQX of crackling and booming heavy rhythms, menacing EBM-infected rumbling bassline, amidst hypnotic industrial clanging, and blistering, cutting synth stabs, to create oppressive states of minds filled with sheer claustrophobic terror and social anxiety, heightened in this case by Ravetop‘s sick vocalizations.
