Weekly Electronic Music Tips – Sept. #39-21
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- MY NAME IS NOT MATA @ Radio TNP x Future Intel 25.09.2021
Courtesy of Amsterdam’s Radio Tempo Não Pára, Dutch electronic DJ /producer (formerly known as Mata Hari), My Name Is Not Mata, dedicated to using vinyl records only as a DJ, shifts, moodily yet organically, between sonic suggestions like few others these days, ceaselessly showing profound dedication and knowledge in the exploration of the diverse extremes of the electronic spectrum, ranging from Experimental, Ambient, Techno, Wave, Tribal and all in between, with boundless energy and uncompromising and gripping edge.
- Athens, Greece D.I.Y. Dark Techno/EBM act One Flesh.Infektion. feat. XTR Human “Nimm Dir Alles” from the upcoming V/A “Terrorize Mortals” compilation on S H I S H I
Athens‘ industrial techno /EBM duo employ the piercing Teutonic vocalizations of German new beat /coldwaver XTR Human in the early preview from the upcoming compilation “Terrorize Mortals” via Tbilisi based S H I S H I. Grinding bass lines chug relentless menace through alienating swirls of shrieking icy bright synth stabs, huffing distorted stark male vocal, and steady crushing marching beats to form dark and dangerous dancefloor dominion drenched in gritty industrial doom.
- UK experimental /techno /electro producer Mike Williamson, aka MADE “When Straight Lines Become Curves” from the lathe cut 7″ EP “When Straight Lines Become Curves” on brokntoys
London‘s brokntoys keeps its sober, yet rich in quality, relentless streaks of off-kilter, dark and cold yet somehow soulful electro deepness with tantalising techno/house strains, through the new atmospheric and disturbing 7″ EP from UK project Made. The title track is defined by crisp hypnotic rhythms, rolling jittery bassline menace, eerily flashing bright synth chords, and low sentient droning foggy blows, to stack rich and magnetic winding layers of mind-expanding shapes over enigmatic grids of subconscious time to plot mechanical dancefloor momentum into mesmeric grooves.
- Industrial /EBM /Dark Techno /Cyberpunk producer Unholy – “Force of Force” title track from the new EP on Dutch label Moretin
Powerful, crispy and bass-heavy dark clubbing techno stomper from producer Unholy unwinds dangerous murky moods of thick buzzing bassline menace, flicking nocturnal fear through a droning landscape of distant clanks, dirty pulses, and angular frequencies, whilst minimal distorted maniacal vocals inject impending doom into a steam-powered stomp of post-apocalyptic dancefloor command.
