Weekly Electronic Music Tips – SEPTEMBER #37-23
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- SPÆCIAL MIX 246 // JACK CAREL
Experienced Tel Aviv‘s genre-bending Techno producer with a ‘carefully selected over the time mix inspired by the fragrances and magic of the 80s and early 90s, the innocent years that gave birth to the special shades of music…a trip from Disco to Ebm through raw Electronics, a journey through time and space, to childhood.’
- Bogotà-based EBM /Techno /Industrial /Breaks /Electro artist and founder of DClock Records, Jesús David Restrepo, AKA Damaged Clock “Key of the Future” title track of the album “The Key of the Future” [SOIL]
Experimental stalwart of the Colombian dark electronic scene returns with a ceasingly expanding sound palette ‘seamlessly blending Electro, Breaks, and Acid elements with influences of Synthwave and Wave music’. The acid-soaked electro title track bounces through rolling crisp breakbeats, tight percussions, droning smears of murky basslines, angsty hip-hop-like vocals and emotional spacey synth drifts, making for late night futuristic dancefloor dystopia.
- Birmingham, UK-based veteran ambient /jackin’-deep-acid-house production duo Chris Kentish & Alan Mackenzie, aka Field Of Dreams “Into The Night” from “Keep Rollin'” EP
Anglo–Scottish veteran elegant House duet ‘keep kollin'” with addictive crackling crisp percussions, acidic groovy basslines and hypnotizing emotive synth, as dark and introspective, as it is spacey and inspiring, a rapture both for the mind and the dancefloor.
