- French techno /synthwave /electro producer from Bordeaux, Jauzas The Shining “Visio De Terror” lathe cut 10″ Palestine aid EP [brokntoys]
Previously an exclusive cut for subscribers, “Visio de Terror” unfolds uncanny icy tinkling keys and a hypnotic beat cadence to amplify the sense of profound desolation and dread, stabbing straight to the centre of the core, through a hellish ramble into barren and devastated landscapes, torn apart by cavernous treated demonic vocals, spectral skin-shearing synth laments and ominous buzzing low ends, reiterated beyond all limits to gnaw and rip at the guts with slow and sickening terror.

single [Sonidos Subterraneos]
A powerful stark and steamy cut that incorporates claustrophobic fetishistic industrial ambience with EBM-fueled rhythmic noise Techno, casting relentless, hypnotic slashing drum kicks and grumbling faltering, buzzing low ends with freaky dissociative vocals, to slip into a dark and sentient wormhole dynamic of eternal suffering, amid ominous cold swirling mists.
