This week’s one-hour set delves deep into unpredictable tripping and stompy electro, breakbeat, acid, post-punk and EBM-tinged territories and beyond, replete of buzzing and fizzing driving energy, from Moscow‘s dynamic production duet Grisha and Ivan a.k.a. Odopt. Recorded live at “Bravers” showcase last month at Moscow Mutabor‘s garage floor, embedded with all the urgency and anticipation after a 6-month lockdown.

  • Colombian Electro/Industrial/EBM/techno producer Magnum Opus “Dark Vibrations (Persona Non Grata feat. The Worm Of Apocalypse Re-Fix)” off upcoming EP “Dark Vibrations” on Mosaique Records

Another crackling and blistering cut from a Colombian producer that releases urgent electrical currents to splice restless jolts of lurking bassline menace with a relentless industrial crawl, cast in cold clashing and flickering beats, swirling into swathes of zipping rhythms and airy desperate vocals, wearing reminiscent of Al Jourgensen’s scathing gasps circa “The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste”

Russian producer of elected Italo idiom is ‘way downhill’ to seize the dancefloor with energetic oscillating bass line’s sprawling flashing muffled percussive patterns and dangerously hissing lashing beats through foreboding warm swathes of glowing synth, while untuned paranoid whispers cast urgent doom into the cool and airy atmospheric void of uncertain delay, rising in scratched breaking rhythms echoing its ‘divine mandate’ to make you dance beyond all evil.

Continue the slow disclosure of worldwide electronic Pushers over the pandemic scenario from Raw Culture label’s non-summer tape sampler with a dismal electro-dance-post-punk number from Lithuania’s finest that weaves abruptly rumbling and throbbing bassline’s sputtering turbulent motion, cut with piercing icy synth stabs and industrial steam engine-like propulsive beats, while obsessive bleeding guitar melodies prickle the urgently desperate male vocals, treading in the dense relentless fumes.
