DECAS by Salvatore Mercatante
A moody affair, dark and contemplative
A moody affair, dark and contemplative
Righteous music. And their best yet
I'm rather enjoying the Bowery Electric vibes of this track from Australian-based electronic duo Erasers. A Breeze is taken from their forthcoming album Constant Connection.
Cyclic patterns, chiming and charming
Had the new Softsssss EP from London’s Will Hofbauer on a few times recently and it's good. Left-of-centre, downbeat electronic music with a little Dub thrown in for good measure. Nice artwork too

Taken from their debut EP YES I, a truly superb collaboration between two of my favourite producers, Jan Wagner and Answer Code Request, What's New is the highlight with its emotional chord sequence and uplifting vibe.
Tantalising taster from a new artist called Moktar. The Australian-based Egyptian is releasing a five-track EP on 15th of October called Moktar EP via Mall Grab's Steel City Dance Discs label. Punky in attitude as it struts along, the weird Middle Eastern sound, like a wind instrument, that creeps in around 1:30 makes it!

Noted, 01 Aug 2021, 14:37Celebrating 20 releases with 20 tracks (19 from the archives and a brand new one from Zobol's forthcoming EP Ocean Acidification), this showcase from French label Nocta Numerica Records is well worth your time

US artist Matthew O’Connell goes by the name Chorusing and Watching the Beams is a taster from his forthcoming album Half Mirror, out via Western Vinyl on 13th August. Ghostly dubby vocals float atop a syncopated electronic soundtrack. If the rest of the album is like this, we're onto a good 'un.
I enjoyed this hour of emotive music from Matt Emery for the Subtempo mix series

The perverse artist name may be tongue-in-cheek (or self-deprecating) and the label name Shite Music For Shite People doesn't soften the grisly effect, but the self-described "abrasive experimental punktronica" is unequivocally bang on. Check out the manic title track from the debut album National Disgrace.
