With Noblesse Oblige you find yourself among the aristocracy of the mind and body… it is a gathering of artists with a different heartbeat and mindset… fitting the Gooiland Elektro spirit as they operate far away from contemporary music standards… not being interested nor moved by trends and hypes… instead they share the mission to produce uncompromising sounds for the real freaks with music both for the dancefloor and the headphone… in this case this means sweaty EBM, dark techno and industrial acid… but that are just some name tags… it is all about the experience…
FFFC (Florence Foster Fan Club) are no strangers in our world of electronic music. Besides releases on their own the musicians behind this project are involved in numerous other projects… like Sumerian Fleet, Zarkoff and Le Chocolat Noir to name just a few. Recently they started operating out of an abandoned factory situated behind the (former) iron curtain… at this place they have collected all their synthesizers and started jamming… this 12″ EP is a selection from recordings from these sessions… throbbing techno and EBM beats are used as a basis for synth tapestries…resulting sometimes in trance indulging dance tracks but also in spacey soundtrack kind of pieces… a true trip! Listen here and order here. FOQL is belonging to the same Polish electronic music collective as Marburg (see Gooiland 10: V/A – Club Funny Horse) but the sound of this project is truly different… in a way the Hypatia EP is delicate and even fragile maybe… it has the ritual feeling like some of the music by Coil has… next to that it has textures reminiscent of The Future Sound Of London… and in some ways FOQL fuses ambient, electronix and techno in the same way Kobosil sometimes does… in short.. this is a record for well informed and well educated music lovers… Listen here and order here. Hailing from Holland Monocorpse serves dark electronix/techno… extremely minimal, raw and primitive in sound and the tracks are ritual and occult in orientation and mood… think of the previous Gooiland Elektro releases by Drvg Cvltvre and Ekman but stripped down to the essence and pitch black… also comparisons with Ancient Methods have already been made… but these tracks have a nasty and dirty sound of their own… this 12″EP is something for the real freaks out there… Listen here and order here. Kit n C.l.a.w.s. is a project by two experienced musicians in the fields of dance and psychedelic music… teaming up was probably one of the better ideas they had for a long time as the music this duo serves us is simply amazing… deep trance indulging moody house tracks with acid influences… still this acid never becomes industrial as techno can be but stays on the psychedelic side of things… slow trippy stuff to dance and dream away on …headmusic for the dancefloor!
