Weekly set from Voronezh, Russia‘s musician/producer Nikita Theodorov, Raw Union label affiliated and curator, and one-half post-punk/coldwave project Midnight Passage, with a heavy refreshing dose of treacherous EBM, radioactive acid, noxious cold waves, and wildly boisterous electro.               

  • Barcelona experimental /ambient /tribal /psych /acid /downtempo /house /electronic duo IRO AKA “Zukunft (Tapan Remix)” off upcoming “Futur” EP 12″ on new Spanish label Elephant Gait

Ominously mesmerizing, tribalistic, and radical re-imagination from Belgrade production partners Tapan, with revolving slow-burning textures swirling hypnotically around groovy skipping percussive patterns, while zipping synth notes buzz magnetically to conjure droning layers of static charged vocal stutters, ripped into inaudible frequencies by heavily vibrating bassline rumblings, spinning out of control into a dizzying array of primal fear.

Eerily dark and futuristic cosmic disco re-model by Marseille‘s la Dame Noir resident Did Virgo, arouses low airy, at times droning, faltering bass expansions with deep murky tones into an undulating, hypnotic rhythm of lost horizons, laced in icy dazzling synth flutters and ecstatic sparse female spoken vocals, that echo and fade disturbingly into dangerous, shiny obscure dancefloor oscillations.
