PICKS OF THE WEEK:

Feed Your Head Guest Mix: KIBOSH

Freaky killer set from Manchester‘s finest prog techno, breakbeat, chuggy disco, psychedelic, wonky acid house free party collective.

Bologna, Italy ambient /drone /percussive /minimal /dub /deep /experimental techno producer Marco Maldarella “Lettera Aperta” from “ere Scyld” LP [Omen Wapta]

The Italian electronic sound sculptor painstakingly crafts an organic sonic expansive micro-universe, rich with nuances and details through an intricate yet balanced alchemical combination of lulling oscillations from rolling crisp polyrhythmic patterns, warm nervous bass pulsations, indiscernible group chatters, and faraway icy arcane synth glimmers, perfectly balanced and never redundant, constantly intersecting and evolving, resulting in a dilated stark immersion through fleeting and abstract landscapes, simultaneously vivid and tangible, into an all-encompassing sensorial slow vortex.

Puerto Rico EBM /industrial /acid /dark electro /techno producer La Sanguijuela “Horrores” from the 2-track “La Bestia” EP [X-IMG]

A two tracker of “classic old school industrialized EBM meets modern & finessed razor sharp production” from the Puerto Rican producer. We slightly go for the acidic squealing electro abrasion of “Horrors”, ignited by obsessively stomping beats, alongside a slew of aggressive scrambling frequencies, torn by rumbling scratches of mercilessness and pain.

Ōtautahi/Christchurch, NZ-based ambient /bass /roots /breakbeat junglist and producer Caspian “Levity” from “Levity” EP [Kaitiaki Records]

“Death is trying to take life, we know life is stronger than death” uplifts above the high-energy, Dancehall-infused jungle cut from young NZ producer, heavily rolling through fast amen breakbeats and grumbling basslines, peppered with Jamaican vocal toasting clips and nostalgic echoing synth motifs, into a bombastic finale of un-winding catharsis.
