Fresh from his debut album on Filmmaker’s Body Musick label, Athens based DJ and Producer Petros Spatharos has been exploring the flow of underground electronic music since 2010 creating his turbulent yet atmospheric sound alchemy based on ‘unadapted Electro, sluggish EBM and reactive Industrial’ for your ultimate disturbing sonic pleasure.

  • Paris-based techno/EBM/electronic producer MIND | MATTER “The Impalement” from [AREAZT011] “Staring at The Void” EP on AREA Z

Parisian producer, less straightforward than usual, combines unstoppable equally driving and stomping mechanical rhythms and ominous droning bass oscillations with the eerily esoteric vibes of humming samples and winding spatial synth swathes, that sneakingly congregate into a meticulous trance-inducing heavy groove of lethal dancefloor domains.

  • Belarusian ambient /breaks /electro DJ-Producer Viikatory – “Baby, You’re Nasty” off V/A “Liquid Gems” compilation via Georgian label Your Character

Tbilisi newly born label Your Character delivers a fine sampler of 16 “Liquid Gems”, spanning Electro, Acid, Ghetto Tech and Breakbeat. Once again the talented young Belarus producer triggers a deep, cold yet soulful and atmospheric electro cut, made of driven hypnotic beats and spacious ambient pads rippled by bouncing acidic bass squirts and piercing tinkling chords, surrounded by sparse teasing detached female vocal samples, with an ominous, tense shift halfway through washed by desolate icy bright synth swathes, making for an electrifying and mesmerizing listening and dancing experience.

  • Exeter, UK ambient /breaks /acid /electro producer Will Ortiz – “Tsunami” off upcoming EP soon on Leipzig‘s HABIBI BASS
