Weekly Electronic Music Tips – August #32-21
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- ItaloModerni #72 MIX: JACK CAREL
Courtesy of Barcelona‘s Italo Moderni, the longstanding Tel Aviv-bred producer’s DJ set reflects Jack Carel’s eclectic yet unmistakable and uncompromising electronic vision, which combine diverse sonic inflexions from electro to techno, psych to disco, breaks to wave and more in between, with a steady and forward-thinking attitude aiming at breaking down the boundaries between different genres in an organic and straightforward way.
- Italian lo-fi /industrial /electro /wave /dark techno producer Alessio Di Mezza (aka Strangers For Love), aka Religius Order “Luci Nere” title track from upcoming “Luci Nere” EP 12″ on Dresden‘s Uncanny Valley sublabel Rat Life Records
Italian electronic producer unveils the opening wicked trance-inducing dimly lit title track of his ‘soundtrack for an Apocalypse Afterparty’, slowly uncoiling pounding tribal beats stomping through nefarious Middle Eastern-infused, humming and piercing quivering dominions, whilst winding sinister hypnotic synth swarms drone atop primal howling vocal’s straining visceral pain into an eerie dystopic dance of dread and doom.
- Latvian experimental /UDM /EBM /minimal synth /electro producer based in Germany, STARPLIKTUVE “German Shepherd” {Raw Stereo Cut}
STARPLIKTUVE is the intriguing raw, off-kilter and quirky experimental electronic project of enigmatic producer Gatis Druvaskalns. A frenetic and obsessive layering of popping, lashing rhythms, jiggly and rolling rumbling basslines, sneakily surrounded by airy glaring synth washes, bounce and drone eerily over strong effected Latvian male rantings opposing oppressive menace inside a new world order-induced hysteria, fueled by a growing hallucinating tinkling unsettling derangement and synthetic twisted daze.
- Odessa, Ukraine based bass /hip-hop /ghetto /acid /electro producer SVZZ “Odessa Acid” from the EP “Bad Trip” on Get Busy Recordings
The raw energetic, and uncompromising hooligan style of the streets from Odessa, wavers between ghetto tech, hip-hop, acid, bass music and bouncing electro. Sonar rotations signal eerie sonic waves of spatial discovery under crispy dancing pounds of acidic bass fueled beats rising and falling in epic humming syncopated dancefloor flows, whilst resounding jittery glowing synth strains wiggle hypnotically through arabesque wanderings, shuffling rhythms and glittering, beeping effects to open electrified heady expansions of aural sensory bliss.
