Memory keeper. Mostly music and movies, plus some series and video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
RA writes “Hayden Payne’s records package the lunging ferocity of EBM and industrial into a sound you could loosely describe as techno.” Ex-act-ly what I had in mind, all these three cornerstones just like that. I also like the idea that this came through Ostgut Ton.
Some kind of melancholic electronic music with dark moods and a steady pulse. Like the dark days of Apparat or the electronic version of a post-rock record. Extremely atmospheric, swallows me, chews me, spits me back into the void, a pitch black to love.
Experimental, electronic, slow techno, some industrial flavor, and probably the best new stuff I came across along these lines this year (although it is from last year).
Deep thumping techno.
Super-power electro, playing for months now. I’ve listened through the whole catalogue before I finally got to posting this here. And there is no one track that’s a letdown.
Retro synthwave and tech-house.
Soothing but sorrow, tender but troubled. Ambient techno. Apparat meets Steffi.
Fixmer, Ostgut Ton, techno.
Techno. But especially the last track, which is like a psy-synth-tech opus with a post-rock track’s structure, in 12+ minutes.
Also a wandering, through techno to experimental ambient soft noises.
Sidenote: the last Gonjasufi record is named after an alternate reality perception thing, and this Actress album writes in the press release about “a chrome aspect journey into a parallel world”. Hm.
