WL//WH Weekly Electronic Music Tips

• THOMAAS BANKS “Halloween ’22 Mix”                                                                                                                 

UK native, L.A.-based EBM /Industrial /Techno electronic artist (one-half of Psychemagik) with a Halloween mix of his, some of mine, and, possibly, also of your faves.                                              

• Dark atmospheric electronic collaboration between L.A. multi-disciplinary experimental industrial electro producer and composer Colin Cameron Allrich, and Kansas City‘s witch-wave-producer artist Tara Saavedra, AKA Slighter x Morgue VVitch “Cold Black Waters (Club Version)” off “Cold Black Waters” single on Slighter’s label Confusion Inc.
  

In its uncannily atmospheric and spooky downtempo version, “Cold Black Waters” transmits eerie sonar waves through a thick murky sinuous seascape of ominous echoing, stumbling broken beats, droning low end oscillations, swirling dramatic synth swathes, whirring and glitchy FX, waxing and waning with heavy hypnotic and quavering vibrancy, whilst beautifully tragic lost celestial cries float, then sink under a rising tide of doom-laden destiny.

• Paris, France industrial techno producer Znzl “Belief Relief” single
  

Killer sweeping industrialized techno dynamo from the Parisian producer that grows increasingly entrancing with every cutting hit and stark kick, propelled by snappy and crisp hard-hitting rhythms, rustling and abrasive FX, chugging buzzing basslines, and desolate wailing synth sweeps, to create a mysterious, menacing yet unearthly peak-time euphoric vibe.

• “Untitled 9” from V/A “Sycamore Tape” charity cassette compilation of anonymous ambient and downtempo electronic tracks created by a group of artists, established and curated by Eric Setterlund (Lookout) on Las Vegas‘ label Mystery Circles
  

“The idea was to have a group of artists go outside their comfort zones stylistically and create anonymous tracks for a (charity) compilation that will leave you guessing who made what”, whilst constantly shining the craving for exploration and the boldness to overcome stylistic boundaries, we immerse ourselves into a changing expanse of tinkling and soothing refractions and mesmeric pads that make tangible the magic of vivid and enveloping sensory soundscapes, suffused with sweeping emotional vibrancy, which gently creeps into our senses.
