Bass music with dubstep, grime, 2step, ragga, bit of jungle.
Sully – Escape
topographies – Ideal Form
Goth rock mood.
LukHash – Virtual Burnout
8bit video game music. Takes me places. Last time listening it took me to researching how to build a bluetooth adapter into an original MiniDisc player, and then to the local retro game store fishing for Game Boy cartridges.
Wolvennest – Ritual Mmxx
It’s like post-rock with grunge aesthetics. Atmospheric but also dirty and noisy. So interesting that they identify as psychedelic black metal. I can see that, too.
If this blog was a metal album… Images generated with Midjourney, fonts from 1001fonts. It’s kinda insane what you can do in 30 minutes with AI and free resources.
Calibre – Rudy
Smooth liquid drum and bass backdrop music.
Raging Speedhorn – Hard To Kill
Amazing stoner hard rock. Gives me all the mandatory vibes of the genre, feels fulfilling.
Cymbaline – Computerleven
This band is such a perfect krautrock blend where alternative rock meets coldwave. I’ve seen them live once, they were so professional and maintained this spot-on atmosphere during their whole set.
Adam Tristar – Suicide Neighborhood
I saw Adam Tristar on a goth club night headlining after like ten other concerts. It was a duo performing live and they stood out so much from the others, like it would be a professional act after a list of DIY bedroom bands. Well, that’s probably a pretty good approximation of what happened.
The music is all along the goth aesthetics with electronic coldwave synths. Hits close to my heart.
Aphex Twin – Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760
This is a very nice IDM record. Other than that, my relationship to this is quite neutral, and saying that as a long time Aphex Twin fan. It just doesn’t have any specificity to this time and place, and it also doesn’t invoke memories strongly enough so it would be clearly on the nostalgia side. It’s like the B sides collection of records from twenty years back. It’s… fine.
