• Transsolar – “Reflexion” from V/A “Toilettes publiques n°4” cassette fresh DIY post-punk/minimal synth/trash wave hits from the actual Berlin scene via French label Spielzeug Muzak

• Nantes, France coldwave/new wave/synth-pop solo project, aka PRINZESSIN “This Romance” from ”Exit Wounds” EP out Monday 25th November 2019 via TONN Recordings.                                                                                  

Since the first time I listened to the pristine electro-pop tunes from the French artist I was amazed, I felt he was something special, the bouncing and euphoric synthetic rhythms, the equally energetic and minimal synth riffs, his rich, heartfelt and powerful Glenn Gregory-like baritone vocals, that remind me the best bits of the heyday of UK synthpop, the Human League, The Soft Cell, Heaven 17, just to be clear. The new single continues to progress on the same superb path, can’t wait next week for the whole EP. Another impeccable release from TONN Recordings headquarter.
