Weekly Electronic Music Tips – SEPTEMBER #39 – 22
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Galactic Funk Podcast 103 – GAEL
Relocated to Berlin from the ominous gusts of war, Ukrainian talented artist Gael is an electronic producer and DJ we closely follow for a while. The latest DJ set, courtesy of Amsterdam’s Galactic Funk, as usual delivers her distinctive and imaginative take, all at once club-friendly and atmospheric, in exploring with relentless energy and uncompromising style the outer boundaries of industrial-flecked techno and experimental electronics.
- Milan, Italian ambient /minimal techno producer Korinami – “Chain Reaction” from “Rewind” EP on Diffuse Reality Records
As the title might suggest atmospheric Minimal Techno sound from the Italian producer based in Milan, Korinami, slowly unfurls crackling and swooshing yet decreased rhythmic patterns encircled by glacial layers of oneiric contemplative synth melancholia lost in angsty cosmic isolation.
- Athens, Greek experimental /cinematic /cosmic /psych /folk /dark electronic /electronic music producer and film director Yannis Veslemes (aka Felizol, Steamcut, Sportex), aka VESLEMES “Glass Eye False Perspective” from the upcoming “The Well” album on Macadam Mambo
Creatively mining a broad miscellaneous off-kilter vein of sonic elements varying from Electro, Industrial, Downtempo, Hip-Hop, Avant-Garde Techno Kraut, and Cosmic Synth-Pop to Greek Folklore, combined into a distinctive, crackling and phantasmagorical sound alchemy, Athenian musician Yannis Veslemes opens alternate buzzing and humming dimensions cast in zippy, glitchy FX, distorted robotic vocals, skipping crisp percussive patterns, digging hypnotic low frequencies to elicit unhinged paranoid moods, whilst expanding writhing subconscious thought forms into unexpected spatial delusions from disconnected mental circuity.
- Brooklyn, NY based techno /electro music producer (half of Lithium Parasites) originally from Miami, ALONZO “Murmurio” from V/A “Imamiah” charity EP ‘Angel Series’ on Dundee’s Hilltown Disco
Creepy futuristic electro jam from New York denizen, part of the Scottish Hilltown Disco label’s charity compilation series, that triggers murky buzzing swells of creeping low-end vibrations and taut skipping snares to drive dangerous moods through spritely, angsty sparks and eerie wiry synth flutters, whilst minimal female dominations take the listener to the final stage of brainwave programming with cold calculating precision.
