Described as “a brew of mutant raga, neofolk and tripped out Celtic fantasies”, the first of the two previews from Turin-based producer, the heady, minimal, and chilled “Hardtmuth”, blends angsty, obsessive swishy drones with sparse crisp ritual percussions, sparkling strings, buzzy woodwind flutters, and low warm reverberant bass tones whilst Hans Harsen’s magnetic esoteric spoken word vocals, open alternate dimensions of insight amid organic-strewn ancestral vibes.

  • Budapest, Hungary Dark Disco /Psych /Techno /Electro DJ-producer Vedat Akdag – “Berva” single

Hypnotic, mysterious, trippy Dark Disco daze, beautifully aroused by sinuous throbbing bassline grooves along with steady stacking snares, surrounded by a slew of harsh noisy swirling distortions, murky droning floors, atmospheric obsessive Middle Eastern blows and esoteric voice clips, to invigorate the dancefloor up with heady, exotic late-night vibes.

  • Hungarian ambient /minimal /techno /breaks /drum & bass producer Peter Ivanyi, aka Ghost Warrior “Becomer” single

Following a recent intriguing jazzy fusion ambient electronica LP, check for it below, Hungarian grey area experimentalist distills a hypnotizing, dubbed-out, technoid, minimal drum & bass trip, triggered by an obsessive, daring and sparse crackling compiling of nervous glitchy crisp broken beat rolls and heavy powdery bass thumps, topped off by distant droning and buzzing strings, echoing atmospheric pads, and tinny lashes, into a cold, dark mesmeric immersion shrouded in primal fear and high-alert acumen.
