Dark disco vibes exude from the brilliant set by the Belgian producer/remixer/DJ based in Liège, Connor (Nein Records, Maleante, Esthétique , Dogs And Vultures, Roam y Night Noise), infused with techno, acid, electro, new beat, and 80s punk/wave undertones.                                                 

• Ningún Lugar, Colombia EBM/industrial techno DJ/producer MAGNUM OPUS “Mental Whisper” from V/A “HISS” compilation on Antioquia’s new label Discos Hechizos                                                                             

Debut sampler from the brand new Colombian DIY label Discos Hechizos label brings together a vast range of local, more or less known, electronic acts, that display the richness and heterogeneity of a scene in constant expansion and evolution, straddling the lines between dark synth wave (our faves Abstract Deity and Las Confusas plus the newcomer, at least for us, Ana Gartner), and industrial, EBM, electro and techno (Filmmaker and Unsighted amongst many others). One of the highlights is the crackling and obsessive cut from DJ/producer Magnum Opus triggering manic droning electric jolts that zap and disintegrate over adrenaline-fueled rhythmic breaks of miscommunication into the shimmering swaths of unconscious desires, marked in mechanical hollow cowbells and skewed meandering synth stabs, glowing over stuttering menacing bass pulsations.

• Egisto Macchi – “Il Sahara” (Tagliabue ‘Profondo Cosmo’ Rework) [SINCHI EDITS 02]                                              

• Toronto, Canada EBM/dark analog synth wave producer ANALOG REACTION “Primal Circuit” title track from debut 2-track single
  

Canadian newcomer debuted with two cold analog synth slices of ‘Intercontinental/Ballistic/Body Music’ through hard-hitting lashing rhythms unleash hypnotic rumbling bass repetitions, to relay relentless circular momentum connecting mechanical distance between electronic bleeps, pulses, and frequencies in a trance-inducing high voltage dance floor meltdown. Maybe too clean, the sound misses some grittiness and punch, but it’s just the start…a good one anyway.
