Tech Vibes

For this @DarkScienceElectro premiere, we check in with @Zobol with a new 4-track release on @hawsmusic

“What motivates us as human beings?” Zobol muses. Some might argue that the present day has produced a new culture of inefficiency and burn-out – a world where greedy landlords reign supreme, where broken bureaucracy flourishes and where people have become slaves to the system. But all is not lost. Hope sits on the horizon, and Jon Chmielewski is exploring the possibilities. For the 12th release on Welsh imprint Haŵs, the undeniably genius producer presents an electro EP that seeks to communicate something far bigger than himself. 

On the B-side, ‘R U OK?’ dilutes rippling synth lines with a bulky bass and inquisitive melodies, purging itself of emotions like a late-night spent soul-searching.

PREMIERE⚡Zobol - Biodiversity [Nocta Numerica Records]

After his first record “Alamogordo/The Optimist“, Flood is back on Hanover’s “Kein Rauch Ohne Feuer“ label with his second EP. Following the heavy, hard-hitting debut, the new record now explores a more 80s-inspired sound between italo disco and electronic body music that despite its playfulness doesn’t lack the clarity and straightforwardness of Flood’s older productions. While the energetic title track, centered around catchy synth lines and Dave Gahan-esque vocals, grows into a mesmerizing tribute to the glamourous, fun side of dance music, ,“Digitalpakt“ takes a turn to the darker side: Punchy drums, a sinister bassline and estranged vocal bits won’t fail to move your body. On the B-Side, Turnland’s Felice then waits with a very pleasant surprise and uses his remix of “Still Want You“ to turn the EP’s title track into a groovy house gem that immediately lets you think of Ibiza sunsets.

Portuguese artist Lake Haze (Gonçalo Salgado) makes his return to Shall Not Fade with an album of spacious club music. Salgado is a key player in Portuguese musical exports, delivering masterful blends of techno grooves and retro melodies, and released his debut LP on E-Beamz in 2019. This second LP is titled Sun Rising On Concrete Landscapes.

This record explores further the atmospheric, slightly melancholic timbre to Salgado’s music. The use of reverb across the LP elucidates a sense of looking back to the past; ‘The Rave That Saved My Life’ sounds like echoes from a distant memory. It turns the sounds of the rave into something sombre, expansive and scattered with space age breaks. The title track feels dramatic, starting with melodic loops and scattered percussion but building into an untamed electro banger. The sci fi theme develops in a gorgeous soundscape of minimalist synth stabs in ‘She Took Me To Her Favourite Club’, while ‘Always By Your Side’ lingers in echoing percussion; the purposefully dated snare gives it some hints of an 80s ballad - deeply retro and deeply emotional. Salgado turns to more raw, club-ready sounds like the scattered breaks and electronic sound effects of ‘Neurotoxins Dancing On My Tongue’ or the punching kick and creeping acid trills of ‘Liquid Serotonin’. His skills as a producer are clear as he constructs the cavernous ‘Digital Petals’ with reminiscences of classic trance sounds. The expansive LP closes with ‘Emotional Encore’. It’s an industrial retro chugger with the dust of lofi sounds across it, eclectic and headsy. 

Sun Rising On Concrete Landscapes LP drops April 9th via Shall Not Fade.
