PICKS OF THE WEEK:

  • Dimensions of NIKKATZE                                                                                                                              

The weekly mix comes from São Paulo electronic woman DJ/artist NIKKATZE, resident of Buraco – label/party, that embodies that haunting and mesmerizing style of dark synth-driven dance sound, walking the lines of EBM, Post-Punk, Dark Disco, Wave, scattered with 80’s vibes, we’re fond of. A perfect start to the week!

  • Dutch industrial /dark electro wave artist Sophie Hütten aka “Vrouwe Fataal”, aka Sophie du Palais “I Have To Work Today” off upcoming V/A “Modernation Vol.1” EP on Italo Moderni                                                          

The ‘Vrouwe fataal’ of the Elektro pack injects modern dystopian moods winding through her pained deadpan vocals’ dry demeanour underpinned by a seethingly oscillating surging array of gurgling mechanical bassline danger along with tight and lashing beats cut by flashing acidic synthetic bursts to form an intoxicating release of primal Disturbia.

  • Berlin-born and Kraków-based electro DJ, producer, multi-instrumentalists and artists Leona Jacewska, aka CHARLIE “Polarity Walk” off V/A “Aid EP II” on Mechatronica

Up-and-coming Polish electro, with EBM and wave undertones, producer layers airy asymmetrical synth melodies over grinding, crawling, thick bassline treachery to create an abrasive friction flow scattered in fluttering icily bright bursts of a twinkling tension-inducing spell.

Maltese producer Llimbs instils his crumbling and hypnotic industrialized touch into the Lima-born original track, triggering dark ominous atmospheric anticipation that stirs heavy stomping beats dragging and scraping metallic hardships over distant drone alarm and high shamanic cries, to create a raw ceremonial dance rhythm, left echoing shattered arcane dimensions.
