WL//WH Weekly Post-Punk / Darkwave / Dark Synth Tips

• Berlin-based experimental /electronic /minimal synth /post-industrial /darkwave project by duo Lee and Michal Laudarg aka NNHMN “Tomorrow’s Heroine” title track from upcoming EP “Tomorrow’s Heroine”
  

Berlin-based duo seamlessly craft as extremely elegant and minimal, as it is entrancing and sensual, dark-electro sound with a neon-lit dancefloor edge, in a constant magnetic palpitating flow of ethereal, melancholic and decadent atmospheres laced with trance-inducing shivers of eerie iridescent moods, through swishing tinny beats, throbbing droning bassline and ringing bright synth chords chiming around haunted atmospheric female vocalizations dripping silky crying tears of echoing pain. 

• Leipzig, Germany techno /coldwave /darkwave /synth solo project, нат.аша “ay.var” (Single)
  

As we already part of нат.аша appreciation society, although well aware the sound quality needed to be tweaked, Leipziger ‘dark´n wavy’ solo-project is back, after a revaluation pause, with a mind-boggling buzzing bassline that inoculates into your brain long after it’s over, and a punchy and dry rhythmic pattern as enough, whilst after a bleak, sinister intro of ominous sharp anticipation, shivering high anxiety synth strains wander dramatically atop the atmospheric low-intensity of haunted vocals slowly shedding death and demons into an expanding glowing lament of fearful nightmares.

• Las Vegas-based industrial /EBM /goth /electronic /darkwave Mexican solo project Fairy Pussy “Shadowcraft” (Single)
  

Las Vegas-based DIY one-man project combines sensual, hypnotic and blinking dancefloor moods inexorably induced by an old-school stuttering bass line, swept by atmospheric synth swathes, amidst erotic sights, primal groans, and alluring male whispers, together with a rising grimy and discordant industrial interlude of demented distorted screams, with great effect. Check the cool and edgy black and white dance sequence visualizer in synch with the music.
