The Gooiland Elektro compilation “Unruhe” is a showcase of contemporary acid techno… spacey and trippy in the hands of Zarkoff and distorted and freaked out by Roberto Auser… but also rather industrial when done by FOQL or pushed to the extreme by The Untitled… this is acid as it should sound… edgy and daring tracks for illuminated heads instead of easy and boring sounds suitable for the masses… and as with all Gooiland Elektro releases this one is equally intense on the dance floor as with headphone playback…
Do you remember Adolf Filter… the Swedish minimal electronics/synth duo? The 7” “The Other Hand On The Knob” (Petit Enfant, 2008) is now a cult classic… The duo were also part of three compilations on Enfant Terrible… and now after all these years there is this new 7”… not truly new as these are tracks re-discovered from the ET archive… but these two dark dance floor tracks are still way on top of the game… powerful and raw but catchy too… minimal elektro for both the old followers and new fans of the style… Synths Versus Me is Nico Cabañas and Vanessa Asbert, known as founders of the vinyl spanish label Oráculo Records. The band project started on late 2014 influenced by darkwave sounds produced with synthesizers but going through many different substyles as minimal synth, ebm, synthpop or italo-disco. Several releases/appearances came during 2015 and 2016, not only for their home base label Oráculo Records but as well for Mecanica Records (Poland), Cold Beats Records (Spain) and Seja Records (Netherlands). SEX / BODY / TOUCH is the third album of Synths Versus Me, following AUFERSTEHUNG and TORMENTO. Here’s the latest release from Supernova 1006, a neo-post-punk / cold-wave band from Khabarovsk, Russia. Led by Seb Normal and Lilly, central figures of the Grand Triple Alliance Internationale Of The East, wringing the roads of France in a duo, they are now four, joined by 2 live machines, Quentin on the drums et Cheb Samir on the guitar. The compositions are beefed up in a dense but high in relief album. |
