Zirkular Dion is a Ukraine artist making retro-inspired EBM. A year ago their debut album came out on cassette via Berlin label Detriti. In January a follow-up called Bandit is coming on the same label. As usual info is scant, but the the 6 tracks are sung in Ukranian and have a lo-fi post-punk sound. I think it’s one of my favourite releases on Detriti this year. [Record Turnover] Blanche Biau is a solo-project from Zurich, Switzerland. Influences of 80s wave and post punk with echoing hints of shoe gaze merge into a sad but dreamy sound, driven by simple drum beats and captivating basslines. [Discogs] Active in various scenes since the 90’s, from days as a grafitti artist, to the emergence of techno in Europe and buying his first Akai 950 and Atari ST-1040, Milan-based Andrea Riberti is a live artist and producer with his roots cemented in early rave culture, drawing from the wake of Post Punk, Industrial and Body Music. As a project, Unconscious surfaced in 2013 to further experiment within electronic music, acting as an outlet to communicate raw, post-industrial sounds. [Discogs] If ever there was a perfect TONN Recordings sound, it would surely be Prinzessin. With its pin sharp minimal aesthetic layered over deep electronic undercurrents, addictive synth lines and a voice as rich as velvet, it was love at first listen. |
