PICKS OF THE WEEK:
  • CURSES @ HÖR ~ 𝑁🝗𝑋✞ 𝓦𝖆𝖛𝖊 🄰🄲🄸🄳 ₱Ʉ₦Ӿ ~ August 3rd, 2022                                                                         

Berlin-based electro-wave-punk multifaceted New Yorker artist of Italian origin and Ombra INTL boss, Luca Venezia AKA Curses ignites an explosive Live Stream DJ set masterclass recorded at Berlin‘s, HÖR for the 2nd Next Wave Acid Punx takeover (w/ Jennifer Touch & Rogermultiuse) with his unmistakable and infectious take on Post-Punk, Proto-Techno, Acid, New Beat, New Wave, EBM, Dark Disco and all in between, to drive and ricochet dance-inducing energy from end to end.

  • Ukrainian EBM /Acid /Noise /Industrial /Techno producer EXTENSIVE INFARCTION “НОЖ ЛЮБИТ ТЕБЯ” off of upcoming EP “Social Coma” on S H I S H I.

Inspired by early Rave, clattering and rackety ’90s EBM/Industrial and pumping proto-Acid Techno, the Ukrainian producer insinuates a noise-filled shattered and crushing dark room ambience, tense and edgy as the blade of a knife, where a fearsome display of terse striking kicks, dangerous crunchy percussive patterns and scorching droning bassline’s rumbles, stabbed by flashing alienating synths, swell, throb and spasm hopelessly towards the edge of the abyss.

  • Valencian ambient /EBM /industrial /electro /techno DIY electronic duo Ana Escudero and David Garrido, Spammerheads “Dear Hangover” from upcoming “Tar Blood / Cement Skin” EP 12″ vinyl [Soil Records]

On the creative wave of energetic, ever expanding, and propulsive combination of EBM, Big Beats, Industrial and Techno tropes without ever forgetting their ravey electro-punk roots a la Prodigy, our fave Spanish pair march hypnotically through dystopic subversive electro skyline of punchy staccato breakbeat rhythms and acid-flecked undulating sinister bassline, fueled by groovy, throaty vocal menace to invoke late 80s industrial grit from suggestive lyrical poetry of dark addictive and ritual moods.

  • Paris based EBM /industrial /techno DJ-producer MIND | MATTER “À Travers L’Achéron” [M|M]

Through a dizzying shadowy and explosive industrial techno cut, with outstanding, equally stark and crisp slashing drum-kicks, crisp seething rhythmic patterns and esoteric overtones, the Parisian artist is back to electrify and mesmerize the dance floor.
