Weekly Electronic Music Tips // NOVEMBER 2025 #45-25
PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- IKE ZWANIKKEN // Lyl Radio [13.11.2025]
Naarm/Melbourne-based experimental electronic musician and mastering engineer, Ike Zwanikken, with a spellbinding immersive mix of sentimental Electronica, ambient Folksy guitar, and sludgy Downtempo for home listening.
- Thessaloniki, Greece ambient /motorik /minimal /experimental electronica producer Konstantinos Giazlas (Fka Keene, and SANS), aka Onepointwo – “Dance of Memories” from “Melodies” EP [Subexotic Records]
First sample from a 6-track collection of nostalgic and sensitive minimal electronica from the Greek musician, which “balances between melancholy and renewal”. “Dance of Memories” pulses through vibrant, glassy waves that ebb and flow with hypnotic, pleasing melodies to spring forth hope and comfort.
- Dutch Electro musician and LDI Records head, Erik Griffioen, aka Lloyd Stellar “Surveillance” from V/A “Vuelta 6A: Consensus Error” fundraising compilation LP [Pan-Am Tracks]
Powerful international electro-driven fundraising compilation that assembles the sonic wreckage left after the fallout of a worldwide failed data hegemony technocratic project. Perfectly suited is the futuristic dystopian electro sound from Dutch producer Lloyd Stellar, with a track about a Fascist government that has built a total computer “Surveillance” system while the citizens have become complacent. Driving kicking rhythms, bouncy, droney bass loops, and glittering, flickering synth motifs that instill long alienating trails around calm, informational female vocals, and distorted male opinions, of an alluring dystopic vision hidden under a mask of religious deception.
