When kindred souls meet across generations, the result of such cultural crossbreeding is often interesting, sometimes good and, if they really connect on different levels, mesmerizing.
As is the case for NE, the collaboration between Dirk Da Davo – he of THE NEON JUDGEMENT fame – and Glenn Keteleer a- relentless dark techno producer with two albums and a string of EP’s under his belt. There is common ground, of course: both already co-produced tracks with the likes of The Hacker, David Carretta and Millimetric, and made applauded appearances on Dave Clarke’s ‘White Noise Radio’ playlists.
But perhaps even more significant: both share a dystopian view on present and future, where it’s open season for governments and multinational corporations that seem to have received a license to kill the privacy and freedom of the individual, and a mutual sonic understanding that includes pounding beat bonanzas next to brooding krautrock, marshy soundscapes and twisted dub. So yes, it’s dark. And loud. But it’s a darkness with a loudly beating heart.
Pretty? No. Hauntingly beautiful? Absolutely.
EP
Electronic transmedia project based in Bogotá – Colombia – Southern waves and frequencies.
Of the cold and noisy nights, of the depths of the emotions, of the darkness of the soul and life. a sordid, hypnotic work of strong and energetic rhythms, with basses that reference in this digital age the decadent notes of the 80s, the dark cyber punk synths, cold wave, garage post punk, the abandoned floor, voices heartbreaking, sensual and energetic of our underground mental world, our most abstract and dense thoughts. Mental abstractions, immersed in our analogue digital synthetic atmosphere of emotions and noises, lost among electronic scrap, between technologies, neon lights and shadows of the universe of the present…
