Weekly Electronic Music Tips // AUGUST #35-24
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Bureau B w/ DIE WILDE JAGD // @ Kiosk Radio 26.08.2024
Die Wilde Jagd is the music project of experimental electronic producer and songwriter Sebastian Lee Philipp. Channelling minimalist, tenebrous intensity, Die Wilde Jagd’s music weaves a dense and atmospheric web of drama, romance, ecstasy and melancholy, through a heady concoction of kosmische musik, krautrock reiterations, funk grooves, industrial clatters and exotic psychedelia.
- German pop ambient /drone /deep techno collaboration of Regensburg-based Markus Guentner and Affin‘s Joachim Spieth, aka Guentner | Spieth “Valenz (GALÁN / VOGT Rework)” [Affin]
The distinctive resonant GALÁN / VOGT‘s heartfelt evocative symbiosis conjures up both ethereal and wailing ghostly female vocalizations waxing and waning on a flowing backbone of organic atmospheric sounds and droning synthetic modulations into a monochromatic and indefinite sea of rustling drifts, crashing billows, and deep natural rumbles, alternating moments of unsettling contemplations with crepitating surges where a sensitive human soul mirrors the torn and suffering bowels of the earth.
- Boston, MA acid /techno /electro modular synth producer SIGNAL 72 “Visionaries” from “Visionaries” EP
The follow-up and title track to the eerie atmospheric broken beat-driven futuristic cinematic ethereality of “Empty Streets”, explores ghostly and space-out acid-laced domains through stumbling, bleeping machine beats, obsessive acidic swirls, looping buzzy bass bulges, topped by emotive synth glows with droning and whispery vocal clips, to provide a hypnotic and seductive mind-bending dancing ramble without losing its raw and dark edge.
- Essex, UK lo-fi /radiophonic /hauntology /analogue electronica project of Chris Sharp, aka Concretism “39 Furnival Street” title track of the upcoming 5-track 12″ EP “39 Furnival Street”
The first exploration of an undiscovered tunnel network adjoined by a London property delves and fades away into a both eerie and mesmerizing atmospheric maze of stuttering, shuffling percussive patterns, chugging and buzzy, somberly pulsing bottom ends, insistent uncanny resonances and winding swirls of bright melancholic strings.
