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

• Leipzig-based Coldwave /Dark Electronic producer and composer, Rina Pavar “Symmetric Vision” new single from the upcoming album “Six” [Cold Transmission Music]

A pitch-perfect cold and edgy combination of stark and sharp drum programming along with moody, tightly wound palpitating basslines, topped by sprawling uncanny spacey synth drifts on bewitching spoken word vocals and harsh whispers, laced with uplifting moods of confidence and inspiration, snaring into a mesmerizing unsettling chasm of mystery and sensuality.

• Bay Area One-Man Goth /Post-Punk project by Nachzehrer, Paris Green “Tears of Scarlet” from the first EP “Paris Green” (Demo)
  

The lead track from debut 3-track demo of gloomy and dramatic mid-tempo 80’s inflected Goth Post-punk stirred by a distant spooky baritone, tormented by throbbing meandering bleak basslines and obsessive scorching pain-filled guitar melodies, brooding in a relentless agony of angst and dread.

• Los Angeles-based industrial /goth /EBM /techno /synth-pop /analog dark electronic duo of Rosselinni and Anton Floriano (1/2 of Black Light Odyssey), Die Sexual “Tremble For Me” single via Hush Ltd.
  

Likewise Rina Pavar, sleek and icy cold Dark electronics yet more fleshy and dangerous, dancing into an obsessively haunting pitch-black pool of luscious desire and unbridled pleasure, built by a hypnotic strobing concoction of steady lashing beats, bodily throbbing, squelching basslines, and sinister buzzing synth strains with layers of distorted breathless seductive vocals, to advance on and control the partner, amidst a relentless droning flow of passion.
