WL//WH Weekly Electronic Music Tips

• VELMONDO [44,100hz Social Club] [03.09.2021]                                                                         

Courtesy of genre-defying Denis Yurgens‘ 44,100hz Social Club radio channel, the weekly set comes from Velmondo, the solo project of Barcelona based DJ, multi-instrumentalist and producer Arnau Obiols, drawing inspiration from early forms of electronic music of the 70s, whether it is dub, krautrock, techno, industrial, ambient, or post-punk, to conjure esoteric and trance-inducing vibrant atmospherics through rough and primal both synthetic and organic sounds.

• Toulouse based French/Lebanese electronic techno producer Psaum, aka Arabian Panther النمر العربي “All Alone In Panthers Lair” off upcoming V/A “Nebula Aranea #02” tape compilation on Bella Ursa Recordings       

One of the first cosmic dancing layers unveiled from Bella Ursa Recordings label’s compilation, to celebrate one year of activity, makes us travel in haunting and cinematic Middle Eastern realms through atmospheric, subduedly menacing, trippy rhythmic reverie by Toulouse techno warrior, propelled by repetitive punchy hypnotic kicks, interleading by swishing, scattered rhythms, that pound ritually, entangled by the twinkling piercing and reverberant chords of wandering Arabic strings and droning swirling frequencies, in a relentless transcendental churning trance, making you completely ecstatic.

• Grenoble, France experimental /psych /dub /electronic producer and member of house crew Notte Brigante (half of Ricco), aka HLM38 “Rockers” from upcoming V/A “VASTEDUB VOL.II – FUTURE SMOKE” cassette compilation on Vastechoses
  

Significantly a few days after the passing of founding father Lee “Scratch” Perry, Brussels‘ Vastechoses family label is going to drop its second volume of “VASTEDUB” digi-dub sampler, previewed in fine style by Lyon-based Notte Brigante‘s duo member and Kump psychedelic electronic magician HLM38 with the aptly titled “Rockers”, where abstract spacey dub meets mystical ambient with dark industrial undertones. A slo-mo, sultry, dazy trip in “ganja” green and industrialized metallic gray, at the same time seductive and disturbing, unravels in a swinging mesmeric rhythmic expansion between echoes and distortions, crackling reverberant dub snares, sinuously sensual yet menacing bass pulses, melodic wistful harmonica motifs and heady, warped vocal samples, mingling seamlessly to intoxicate the senses.

• Belgian techno /industrial /EBM DJ-producer Ethan Fawkes – “The Killing Arises” from upcoming V/A “Unification of Harsh Realities Vol.1” cassette compilation on Scotland‘s N.I.M Tapes                                           

First N.I.M Tapes label’s sampler, focused on the harsh realms of EBM and Industrial, takes off with a raucous and assaulting hard-hitting, rattling rhythmic progression, through hypnotic oscillating low end frequencies with an acidic edge, and old-school powerful, gravelly screams, to inject an all-encompassing ominously strong sense of physicality and urgency that take no prisoners.
