Weekly Electronic Music Tips – Sept. #38-21
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Sonidos Subterraneos | Episode 096 | faux naïf
Courtesy of Medellin‘s label Sonidos Subterraneos, London-based DJ and Radio Show stalwart, faux naif, actually via a residency on Threads & Balamii radio and her own biannual event series M II M (mouthiimouth), brings inspiration from the 80s to modern day to offer different edges on the darker sounds spanning from body music, EBM, tropical goth, synth, darkwave and post-punk.
- Italian dark disco /kraut /new wave /post-punk /electronic young musician, DJ, Live Performer and Luminance Records co-founder Marco Catapano, aka AMARCORD “The Blue Hour Club feat E.S.O (Echonomist Remix)” off upcoming EP “The Blue Hour Club” [Dust & Blood]
After this summer fruitful remix affair, Berlin‘s synth artist E.S.O borrow his alluringly sullen vocals to Italian up-and-coming eclectic dark groove-maker Amarcord. In this case, the Thessaloniki-bred producer’s rework explores increasingly murky and hypnotic, intoxicating dancing territories. Steam-powered lashing beats rise and fall in dance-inducing rhythms awakening mesmeric, mind-opening frequencies with intense pulsing, flickering, and wavy bass tones, and ceremonial glaring synth swathes, swirling around anguished evocative vocals layering distant fading echoes with droning moans, blurring the lines between modern escapism and cold vast freedom with an intoxicating mixture of “Dust & Blood.”
- Vilnius, Lithuania Italo disco /house /synth-pop /nudisco producer Black Feeling – “Right On Time” off upcoming V/A ”Mellow Bangers” compilation on Italo Moderni
Sweaty and nostalgic end of summer vibes with the new compilation from Italo Moderni‘s new compilation ‘‘Mellow Bangers”. Lithuanian producer delivers a chiming and sparkling high energy bouncing bass and big chord Disco banger of compulsory dancing rhythms of Retro Modern Italo vibes, coming to your dancefloor, ‘Right On Time’.
- Italian industrial /EBM /techno producer Francesco Tella, aka NGHTLY “Dissonanza Cognitiva” off of the upcoming cassette album “Animi Introversi” on HOME MORT
Italian artist distorts, squelches and disintegrates the erratic rhythmic convulsions and spasms of Post-Punk, EBM, Techno and Industrial through sentient energy that buzzes to ignite relentless cold, grumbling, and gritty bassline menace cut in dirty, industrial clanks and rapid-fire lashing beats, amid submerged struggling, and distorted male grunts, smeared by dirgey synth swathes, delivering swirling trance-inducing obscure alteration into a tense and disturbing depth-defying dystopian state of “Dissonanza Cognitiva.”
