DKA Records: Karger Traum – III

Karger Traum - III

Karger Traum proves with their third release that they are more than just an EBM group. The German-language duo based out of Oklahoma City brings their varying dance music tastes to the table with their first full-length LP release, with influences ranging from techno to electro to new wave, while further refining their characteristic mix of Einstürzende Neubauten that’s more grounded in electro-acoustic body music.

But this record isn’t just total industrial darkness. It has moments of sassy, cheeky playfulness. It is an adventure from start-to-finish with tracks set to propel the dance floor into utterly trippy territory, while seamlessly flowing as a cohesive album across multiple sonic realms.

InClub Records: Inés é Morta – 2018​/​2019

Inés é Morta - 2018​/​2019

This is the debut compilation from Inés é Mort, a Brazilian atmospheric post-punk quartet from São Paulo.

Brazil is one of the most representative countries of South America in the post-punk and darkwave scene, this quartet that has the city of São Paulo as its base center, gives us two eps of atmospheric cut but very different from each other while ST goes through a stage primitive of a cruder postpunk, to Abismo that navigates with syncopations that lead you to think of Siouxsie, Xmal and even Skeletal, the conjunction of their sound added to the game of Voice of Camila (voice) that sings in Portuguese makes us think that in Sudanese lands as we have always said, we have nothing to envy the old world.

Other Voices Records: Tristán B. – 山寨 (shanzhai)

Tristán B. - 山寨 (shanzhai)

Tristán B.‘s minimal, shady and melodic analog synthetic sound, joins the dots between synth-wave, synthpop and minimal synth, with gloomy post-punk leanings underneath, often enriched with thoughtful literary and philosophical lyrics, delves deeper into twisting and mesmerizing introspective and achingly emotional moody synth-laden sonic realms engulfed in dense hazy shades of gray, as grainy and faded old photographs, steeped in a sombre aura of endless melancholy and timeless heartbreaking memories.
