PICKS OF THE WEEK:

  • Flagelante Podcast // CHAPTER LXXI: GHOST // MOON

Ghost//Moon is a German-Paraguayan DJ based in Germany.  One half of him haunts the burial grounds, patient, gaunt, growing stronger on certain nights; the other is only ever a fragment of light borrowed from somewhere larger. Between the two, Ghost//Moon  built Cybergoth — a congregation where EBM, industrial, darkwave and techno move between the hypnotic, the aggressive and the ritualistic, never settling on either half for long.

  • Rotterdam-based, Belfast bass music /breaks /drum & bass /halftime /dub /leftfield techno producer and Elicit Records co-founder,  Kessler “Pythagoras Riddim” from “Thorned Rose” EP [Elicit Records]

Belfast’s distinctively intricate and intriguing electronic producer rolls out a relentless bass-heavy halftime percussive wobbler sprinkled over scattered, thudding kicks, hard-hitting wooden beats, dubby reverberations and compulsive circling glassy coils, that rambunctiously shake, interspersed with a chilly expansive atmospheric swell, into the very core of your body.

  • Eora/Sydney ambient /organic /nature /tribal /experimental /psychedelic /deep techno artist Joshua Deering, aka Amuwa “Amorphous” from V/A “Decade Deep” 10th anniversary compilation LP [Pure Space]

As the name suggests, the Australian artist sculpts a constantly shapeshifting, heightening organic immersion, giddily layering an ephemeral array of lively trippy tones and echoing arcane synth motifs over a buzzing and cracking busy foundation of swift thudding kicks, clicking loops, and droning modulated low-frequencies, to swirl, reverberate, and conjure a sense of impermanence, angst, and inquisitiveness.

  • German Acid /Techno /Electro producer Dibu-Z – “Exploitation” from V/A “Depósito 1” cassette compilation album [Retrato Retráctil]

Retrato Retráctil is a brand new independent label from Valladolid, Spain that launches its first V/A compilation, “Depósito 1”, featuring a solid roster of up-and-coming and well-respected international artists from the underground electronic scene, bridging a wide scope of electro sounds, sprinkled at times with droning and clattering Industrial and EBM injections. German producer Dibu-Z deploys a gritty and buzzy swift electro stomper with dark, treacherous undertones, floating anxious melancholy and swirling liquid sci-fi tension, cast in surreal ‘exploitation’ vocals, that feel simultaneously nostalgic and futuristic.
