Moscow Youth Cult reMix Swimming

swimming

A Nottingham soundclash for you now. We’ve been waiting for new material from noisy and abrasive ElectroPop outfit Moscow Youth Cult for a while and they haven’t disappointed with this reMix for fellow Nottingham denizens Swimming’s forthcoming single ‘Neutron Wireless Crystal’.

MDC have an amazing knack for creating noisy, almost experimental, tunes but never letting them run away from them. their tracks tend to be gritty and raw and full of ideas but always kept restrained within the bounds of a good song. With ‘Neutron Wireless Crystal’ they have that to work with and the end result is something that sounds totally fresh, quite abstract, but still and actual song.

The Golden Filter premières ‘Syndromes’

The Golden Filter have premièred their ‘Syndromes’ short film on the Future Shorts YouTube channel.

I won’t give away any spoilers ‘cos it’s embedded just below and only ten minutes long, so you should watch it. I don’t know of The Golden Filter or director Kristoffer Borgli would thank me for calling it a post-modern superhero movie, but I’m going to anyway.

The soundtrack is amazing!

The movie is officially released along with the New York avant-Disco duo’s soundtrack on the 10th.

New music from Pyramid

Pyramid

What starts at an tabla lead chunk of dubby electronica soon warps into a Sci-Fi soundscape in Pyramid’s new tune.

Futuristic and beautiful, ‘Space Wind’, with it’s Sci-Fi elements, it’s harsh wind undercurrent and it’s ethnic percussion, to me anyway, is kinda’ what I imagine as a Dune soundtrack (to the books, not David Lynch’s peice of shit). It’s big synth chords fading into the distance, almost lost amongst the sheer space of this tune. If you like your synthesizer music Disco informed, but a little more otherworldly then Pyramid is the guy for you.

♫ Pyramid – Space Wind

Pyramid’s album, ‘Lost In Space’ is out now.

Funerals reMix Burial Hex

Funerals reMixing Burial Hex. That all sounds a bit ominous, but the result is pretty epic deep Electro.
Otherworldly and dreamlike, Funerals capture the throbbing dread of the original but morph it into a hypnotic Bleep House odyssey that moves through various atmospheric soundscapes, including a synth part that resembles a haunting Morricone harmonica, with a relentless kick drum as your tour guide.

♫ Burial Hex – Book of Delusions (Funerals Lanakila reMix)

Funerals are gearing up to drop a new reMix album, featuring a bunch of people and Goteki.

Funerals reMix of ‘Book Of Delusions’ features on the bonus CD that accompanies Burial Hex’s new LP.

Karin Park

purity ring

Karin Park is a Swedish singer with one foot in the Pop and one foot in the avant-garde.

Taking cues from the likes of The Knife and Fever Ray, those deep Scandinavian beast and spooky instrumentation are present but also a Björk-esque Poppiness rides alongside. Mixing up a dubby warping bass with twinkling melodies catches the attention of both body and mind. Park’s unique impassioned vocal delivery is just the icing on the cake.

♫ Karin Park – Tiger Dreams

The ‘Tiger Dreams’ EP is released 19th September.

Stay Ali’s new EP

stay ali

This week saw the release of a brand new Stay Ali EP on Technofavrik (the label of one Monsieur Adi).

‘Koaligula’ is the title track and it’s a beautifully crafted slice of laid back. Scandinavian Electronica. Don’t worry, there is a solid beat in there, but it’s layered thick with lush synth organs, biting leads and haunting melodies. Effortlessly pleasing to listen to, ‘Koaligula’ is like a meeting of Røyksopp and Jean-Michel Jarre with just a hint of a nod toward the Disco.

The ‘Koaligula’ EP is out now.
