Melodic mid-tempo floaty-floaty techno music. Aka beautiful trippin’ techno.
Birds ov Paradise – Memorial
SIERRA – See Me Now
Synth-infused cyber-futuristic electronic music. Also, “I make vampires dance” is the coolest tagline.
DB Armitage – Lovelow
I have such a hard time waiting for Dalma Berger to produce new music, I’m hungry for every new things she makes. She definitely takes her time to release new material with the latest DB Armitage alias but this record is also showing that it’s worth the wait. Beautiful (and sorrowful) electronic pop music from the non-mainstream kind.
It has been interesting to see her journey from the Realistic Crew and Singas Project through Volkova Sisters to where she is now. And whatever she produced or contributed to always orbited around the musical aesthetics that I completely adore. Probably it’s an easy statement that she’s also my favorite Hungarian female vocalist of all time.
CT Kidobó – Impulse & Inhibition, Pt. II
Amazing electro, not simple but pure. Hacker music—not the EBM kind but from the Anthony Rother school.
Asteria – Faderhead
EBM and futurepop from cyberpunk atmospheres to the dancefloor.
Pye Corner Audio – Entangled Routes
Atmospheric electronic music, like a soundtrack to a movie that never was. Genres go mainly on the ambient to synthwave axis.
Being exposed to lots of sci-fi and futuristic noir things, it’s easy to see this as a perfect backdrop for a cyberpunk book or RPG play session.
Emeka Ogboh – Beyond The Yellow Haze
Electronic ambient music with lots of busy city life field recordings. It’s not like a beatless soundscape populated by urban noises, it’s often pretty upbeat. And that, mixed with the sounds of busy streets create this quite lively atmosphere, which feels like a rushing metropolis of ants.
Gergely Buttinger – The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing OST
Making a note for this amazing soundtrack music for any kind of enchanted adventuring actvities.
Bicep – Isles
Slow tempo melodic techno sound with straight beats and some breaks. But other than that it’s an epic classic of an electronic music record, that’s what it is. Every single day I have to realize that such evergreen music is still being released, continuously. I can see how this builds on everything from Four Tet to Rival Consoles and everything in between, but it stands so well in its own right. Beautiful music.
Manni Dee – A Low Level Love
If I ever need a rave anthem here’s a note for self to go for London In My System. The record overall is pretty hard style techno, which I would generally call acid-infused rave.
