WL//WH Weekly Electronic Music Tips

• Sonidos Subterraneos | Episode 102 | CRYING SKIES |                                                                                         

Latvia‘s electronic programmer, composer and DJ Aivis Stepāns, inspired by postmodernism in industry and urban matters, solid thoughts in new cultures and real futurism, with several releases under his belt on labels such as Detriti Records, OSM tapes, Analogue Texture Records and more, relentlessly explores the most vibrant and hypnotic realms of EBM, Electro, Techno and Industrial.

• Greek industrial /electro /dark electronics artist Boris Barksdale “Mind Over Matter” title track from upcoming LP “Mind Over Matter” on UK’s Natural Sciences
  

First preview from the forthcoming debut album by Greek industrial-flecked electro experimentalist. Intense and ominous deep bass throbs drive treacherous subliminal states through the mind’s eye of dancefloor wanderings, to layer hypnotic, repetitive vocal distortions eliciting paranoid obsessions with scratchy, disjointed outbursts, sinister, dramatic synth stabs, warm spatial expansions, and stacked, grasping broken beats to infuse a ferocious bombardment of mass media misinformation with an alternate headspace of fearful oppression.

• Turkish experimental /ambient /electronic producer, singer and DJ (aka Sunfear and 1/2 of Glaukos) based in Istanbul, Eylül Deniz “A Light And Dust Night”                                                                                     

Obscure, dense and gravelly droning magma flows ceremonially, pierced by deep drops of blinding lights and slow sharp scorching frequencies, slowly evolving through an increasingly obsessive pulsing of cosmic synth chords cut by twinkling and blazing keys in a dilated sequence of hallucinated visions that follow one another in a disturbing and immersive ‘dust and light’ night without end.    

• Jakarta, Indonesia acid /psych /techno /Balearic /house /cosmic disco music project by DJ/ Producer/ Remixer Gerhan Ferdinal, aka KOMODO “Vanquished Angst” from upcoming EP “Mirror Claws” on Viscera Transmissions
  

A stalwart of the Indonesian dance music scene DJ/Producer/Remixer out of Jakarta returns with his KOMODO project to deliver his trademark psychedelic cosmic sound with a touch of Balearic, jazz and acid, casting an interstellar spacey trip toned in smouldering and groovy vibes. Energetic, ritual, visceral textures weave burning psychedelic string vibrations through an intoxicating flow of wavy, swaying keyboard melodies, crispy percussions, and jiggly, undulating bassline grooves whilst scorching guitar stabs and mindbending twinkling chords hypnotize in-depth defying rotations to evoke feelings of distant exotic, time travelling locations drenched in digging groovy rhythms and wavering hypnotic hallucinations to open heady connections with delightful dancefloor desires.
