• Polish Post-Punk/Cold Wave band from Poznan, Renmin Ribao “Wasted” off “Yutu” EP on Koty Records
  

Chinese-themed Pozdam outfit delivers a sophomore EP ripe with moody tension-ridden frigid post-punk with a boisterous and buzzing seething edge, intensified by Wire-like abrasive circular guitar riffs, The Gang Of Four stark chromatic chimes, wandering bleak bassline, and sparse The Sound-echoing icy keyboards, over dual male vocals layering angry, caustic screams with breathy aggressive exhalations of wasted dreams and shattered expectations.

• Saint Petersburg, Russia electronic post-punk DJ, record producer, remixer, and songwriter OHOTA “Детство Прошло” new single                                                                                                                                                   

Undeniably powerful and captivating, utterly danceable, cold synthpop delivery, from Saint Petersburg one-man-band, with a bouncing and crisp dark electro web of urgent pounding beats, rapid percussive hollow knocks, enigmatic undulating bassline, stabbed by imposing bright synth chords, to unfold twinkling, entrancing emotional waves of painful echoes around deep stentorian Eldritch-esque vocalizations’ frantic frightening dreams. 

• Munich, German coldwave /post-punk 3-piece PAAR “River” off V/A “Alternative Fakten Vol. 2” mixed cassette compilation via Alternative Fakten
  

Munich cold post-punk denizens dropped an unreleased brooding and atmospheric song “River”, part of an interesting rich tape sampler from the local underground music scene. Equal parts shimmering and alluring, as bleak and sinister kicks in through steady, slashing rhythm along with throbbing, gurgling bassline danger, sewing dire visceral guitar strains, to build stark magnetic moods seething with electrifying pent-up tension lurking around emotional female vocals’ breathless falling omens.
