WL//WH Weekly Electronic Music Tips

• Strange But Dance Music podcast #242: whø?
  

whø? is the enigmatic Berlin-based DJ and producer behind the Who is Paula label. Vinyl, electro, breaks and machine funk — digging for raw grooves, odd cuts and overlooked gems from past, present and future.

• German ambient /sci-fi /machine funk /electro veteran producer Elektrotechnik – “Quantum” from V/A “Global Disorder II” EP [Metal Disorder / Armen Crew]

A retro-futuristic, dark cinematic immersion that features a cold, brooding, suspenseful buildup of slow, ominously buzzy bass tones and tense, glassy swirly arpeggios, to trigger a bouncy drive of swishy, thudding broken rhythms layered with droning ghostly echoes, icy flickering sequences, and stirring, wistful melodies to evoke a poignant sense of forlorn yet uplifting forward momentum laced with oppressive doom.

• Austria-based acid /downtempo /psychedelic /nu-disco /indie dance producer and Tres Personas label head, Modeca – “Love So Blind” debut single [Tres Personas]

After last December’s EP on the Meta Moto label, the Austrian producer returns less raw and industrial, yet still percussive, with the first single on his own new label, exploring trippy, bass-heavy downtempo realms, imbued with a sense of ominous darkness and mystery, marching its way through hypnotic stacked beats and wobbly obsessive low-end pulses, to conjure a heady cosmic travelling vibe, fueled by swirly gurgling acidic inflexions, while a dreamy female voice clip sadly suggests “Love So Blind.”

• London/Bristol, UK ambient /psych /dub techno /dubstep /tech house producer Sub Basics “Telepathy” from upcoming EP “Wavelengths 2” chapter two of Sub Basics’ series [Animalia]

The British artist rolls out erratic, scratchy dubby rhythms that restlessly churn, punctuated by two dim, gleamy pinpoint tones and obsessive, wheezy echoing frequencies, amidst ephemeral liquid synth pads and a garbled voice clip, carrying the listener to surreal, mesmeric, relaxing mindscapes.
