Weekly Electronic Music Tips #51
- MICK WILLS – RADIO RITUEL 33
Few around have the heartfelt attitude, music knowledge, and boundless passions of longstanding German DJ/remixer, here, courtesy of Elena Sizova and Blackmoon77‘s Radio Rituel, with another flawless mind-bender set of bleak, obscure and dense heavy yet trippy dark electronic sound, ceaselessly wavering between classic and modern, beauty and menace, noise and harmony, heaven and hell, memorable imprints of the past and exciting new finds.
- Greek EBM /industrial techno /dark electronic producer from Athens, MORAH “Corsets • Sawf Remix” from the upcoming ltd. cassette+booklet EP “Rosslyn” on Athenian Phormix sister label dib project
A thick, bleak and ominously gripping mesh of hypnotic ritualistic rhythmic noise, unruly techno, kinked electro, rugged EBM and disruptive industrial imbued with a straightforward punk attitude from Greek DJ/Producer on very limited tape plus 8 pages booklet, A4 + A5 inserts.
- Amsterdam based Italo disco/psych/cosmic disco Italian producer Daniele Labbate (aka Disco Mortale), aka Daniel Monaco “No FTR (Franz Scala Remix)” off upcoming “No FTR” EP on Logical Records
Italian Slow Motion label head Franz Scala ignites a heavy dose of cosmic turmoil with off-tempo trance-inducing mechanics to unwind mesmeric bass pulses and banging beats around airless robotic repetitions stabbed in eerily dramatic and spacey synth flashes to magnetize the dancefloor with ignorant bliss.
- Italian/French ‘psychedelic electric body-disco’ duo of Justine + Rodion based in Mexico City, DEUX CONTROL “Des Visages (Feat. Jordi Sorder)” off upcoming LP “Sex Miami” on Höga Nord Rekords
Enigmatic and sensual slow burner mixes creeping, deep throbbing bassline allure with thudding rhythms, twinkling keys, piercing guitar slivers and dangerous anticipation to surround steamy and seductive female vocals in a surreal reality of sex and fear.
- Detroit-born/New York-based electro/synthwave/electronic/new beat project of Nico Nightingale, aka Neud Photo “Transit” off upcoming V/A “Deviate 001” compilation on Deviate
Fave New York-based, more than a decade standing, DJ and producer shows a compelling glimpse of his eclectic dark electronic sound with a robotic and eerie technoid electro number through mechanical bouncing, crispy rhythms, sparsely enigmatic female vocals, droning, oscillating basslines, flashing synth chords and airy swirling strains, that deftly concoct to menacingly prowl into alluring dancefloor danger.
