WL//WH Weekly Electronic Music Tips

• BEYOND THE STRUTTOSPHERE // LIVE @ Mistress Mary, August 2025                                                          

Beyond the Struttosphere is the sonic collaboration between two London-based hombres channeling their considerable musical production experience and boundless love of cosmic chugging Dark Disco and Acid House.

• Grenoble, France ambient /hypnotic /organic dub /deep techno producer Aiôn Lazura – “Rooted” from the upcoming “Blue Carbon” EP [Indefinite Pitch]

Spellbinding, arcane percussion-laced slow-mo Deep Techno immersion unfolds in a wide open cathartic ritual flow of enveloping transcendent frequencies, whispered, hissing textures, droning modulations, and vibrant ephemeral chimes, grounded by a trembling bass floor, along with bouncing and rattling hypnotic cadences, leaving the listener feeling relaxed in a deeply organic connection with ancestral nature.

• Helsinki-based Dutch ambient /techno /cinematic electro funk producer Samuel Van Dijk (aka Mohlao, Multicast Dynamics), aka VC-118A “Avian” from upcoming “Avian” EP [Delsin Records]

First preview from Helsinki-based Dutch ace with his distinctive brand of stripped down, immaculate, and emotionally-ridden machine-funk electro creates an immersive and magnetic instrumental soundworld made of subtle nuances, where every beat hit, bass pulsed, and synth dropped commands equal gravitas and momentum, shaped by crisp rhythmic patterns, lingering stirring chords and reflective, brittle melodies engulfed in a perpetual melancholy.

• Rome, Italy atmospheric /bass /dub /UK techno producer Prest “Hidden Steps” off “Fragment” EP [Self-Produced]

Eclectic Rome‘s percussive explorer returns with a two tracker about “pieces — of sounds, memories, experiences”. Minimal, atmospheric yet electrifying shuffle of dub and UK techno leanings, “Hidden Steps” crackles into a hissing and tinny reiteration of driving snappy kick drum grooves and swelling deep pads, to spiral heady space-out dancing sensations into the ether summit. Acid-tinged and trippy the croaky “Dusty” on the flip.
