Weekly Electronic Music Tips // OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2025 #42-25
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- Feed Your Head Guest Mix: PARISSIOR
Parissior is the moniker of the Spanish veteran DJ, producer and Espacio Cielo label founder from Cantabria, Jesús Aparicio, whose gripping eclectic set straddles the throbbing and hypnotic strains of Electro, Dark Disco, EBM, Breakbeat, Acid-House, Slow Techno, Italo and New Wave.
- Hungarian ambient /post-jazz /broken beats /experimental /drum & bass DJ-producer Peter Ivanyi, aka Ghost Warrior “Dream Transmission” from “Black Box” EP [Well Street Records]
Hungarian producer pulls the jazz-infused, moody and vibey Drum & Bass depths with an atmospheric roller refined by intricate, loose-limbed, taut broken beats, subtle buzzy bass lines, ephemeral radiating chimes, swollen pads, tensile arpeggios and trumpet trills, striking the balance between clarity and tension, subtlety and allure.
- UK deep tech-funk /house veteran DJ-producer Colin McBean (ex-The Advent, Halcyon Daze, Mango Boy, The Reaver, Tommy Atkins), aka MR. G “Work” from upcoming “Reconnection” EP [Running Back]
In the early 00s, we rarely missed any releases on cult Colin McBean‘s own imprint, Phoenix G., replete with unpredictable banging, grimy and groovy underground tech house wonders. Kindred spirit Gerd Janson‘s Running Back imprint is going to deploy a full Mr. G‘s EP, and here we are with his unique, irresistible slice of looping slow-burning dance-floor hypnotism. A deftly carved subliminal balance of minimal, simple and soulful hi-hat driven elements, still absolutely electrifying after all these years.
- Utrecht-based ambient /psych /progressive /trance /deep techno Dutch producer Shoal “Penantang” from V/A “fórum: Rezonance I” EP, first chapter of the label’s V/A series [fórum]
Ominous, rousing, hypnotic “Penantang” tactilely unwinds woven layers of crisp percussive broken beats, lightly thudding syncopated kicks, and warm deep bass pulses, sizzling and drifting underneath murky, droning spirals of cavernous resonance, that gradually unravels into a mesmeric crackling trip, bending perception while keeping the body swaying.
