Weekly Electronic Music Tips #40
Andreas Levers, Germany at night
Picks Of The Week:
- Paris-based techno/EBM/electronic producer MIND | MATTER “???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????”
Young Parisian MIND | MATTER not only delights us with his darkwave moniker Our Broken Dreams, but he’s above all an up-and-coming talented EBM-tinged industrial techno producer. The new track spits out with spooky and menacing kicking rhythms echoed with harrowing, industrial kinetic strength, pierced by chugging and hissing sonic slivers, torn by wildly pulsing buzzing bassline and sparse sick echoing vocals, topped with spacious, paranoia-inducing, layers of blinding synths to produce a blazing and devastating techno killer.
- New Zealand techno/dark ambient poetry project from Te Papaioea, Synthetic Children “Zero Point” from self-released S/T debut EP.
Young New Zealander artist Synthetic Children unfurls hypnotic and hissing blurs of eerie dark ambient sometimes heightened by evocative poetry, unsettling yet arcane drones, fragments of dissonant noise, wandering, glacial synth lines obscured in clouds of gloom and sparse, martial, repetitive rhythms pervaded of sheer emotional depth and raw energy combining seemingly disparate sonic elements into a distinctive, wholly organic, striking debut EP
- Jaroslavl’, Russia techno/electro act ANY ACT ‘Brat’ from the debut ‘Гражданский Акт’ EP
Debut EP from Russian eclectic creative electronic group Any Act grabs me straightaway through energetic, bold, confident high-energy electro rhythms, swaggering and sparkling synth, penetrating dense basslines, dizzying array of samples, acidic pulsations, rave elements, making for a compelling, dangerously barbed and addictive listen.
