So many outstanding artists out there, working hard and doing their best to be heard and recognized for their art and ingeniousness… Sometimes, when we are contemplating a bunch of the 80 moons Jupiter has, we start wondering if one day we will have the opportunity of getting familiar with the craft of at least some of such hidden talents.

Here we have one: J. Mono is back with the third instalment of his “Redate” series, this time featuring twelve creative and hard-to-pigeonhole cuts – solving a Rubik's cube, drunk & high, would be easier than trying to define with precision all the genres present in the album. Good luck to the ones willing to give it a shot.

The track we selected to review/premiere is definitely one of the highlights of “RIII”: Introducing itself with a stunning and nervous bassline followed by a melodic and rhythmic lead and then topped with dreamy and mesmerising synth layers, “Rf Orig” is the first theme below 138 BPM of the album. It marks the very moment in which the frenzied and hallucinating fast-pacing atmosphere gives us a break to recover the breath before we are thrown back to the frenzied and hallucinating fast-pacing atmosphere that is present in most of the release.

J. Mono’s “Redate III” is coming soon, in digital and cassette formats, on the Budapest-based imprint Dalmata Daniel… So many outstanding labels out there…

Here comes something unapologetically goth. 
Male Tears is the dark electro group consisting of vocalist, James Edward and synthesist, Frank Shark.
Hailing from Los Angeles, what began as a solo project re-established itself as a duo in 2021, simultaneously moving from 
the breezy sounds of the first self-titled album to darker realms with their sophomore Trauma Club.
Krypt is their third full-length recording and it shows a fully grown ensemble capable of pushing everything over the top; 
blending elements of darkwave, goth rock, EBM and futurepop into a sound they call Dark Rave.
Naturally drawing inspiration from the Californian goth tradition (45 Grave, Christian Death) and the Canadian post-industrial 
brood (Skinny Puppy, FLA), as well as the best UK synthpop (Depeche Mode, The Human League), Male Tears emphasizes the 
most glamourous, and at once, gruesome aspects of the whole gothic subculture, bringing everything to the next level, 
resulting in a contemporary and cutting edge album.
Eight new cuts that alternate rarefied synthwave (Krypt), dark eurodance (Slay) with goth techno-pop (Sleep 4Ever) and 
pounding electro-industrial (I Expire) to create something we may call New Romantic Body Music.
It's no wonder we wanted the scene’s top studio, La Distilleria, run by Maurizio Baggio, to master this for the most bombastic 
outcome. 
And yet Krypt is not just about the music, it’s about one up with the times attitude that can review aggressive EBM in the light 
of an extravagant pop sensibility and a theatrical grandeur worthy of the Blitz Kids from London circa 1979-80.
You may think it takes quite a bit of nonchalance to do so but the L.A. duo easily succeeds at this. Akin to their aesthetics, 
they may seem spooky from the outside but their approach is nothing stuffy.
Quite the contrary, everything regarding Male Tears is a celebration of life’s most bizzare shades, driven by some of the best 
dark humor you’ll find around.
So Dance with me, my dear, on a dancefloor of bones and skulls / The music is our master The devil controls our souls.
Krypt is out 28 April 2023 on black vinyl LP (limited to 400), marbled purple vinyl LP (limited to 100), CD (limited to 250) and digital.

"Deliverance" is an EP by the artist COBEN8 from Vilnius, Lithuania, and represents his first release under the Global Harmony Traxx label. The EP consists of four exceptional tracks that explore various facets of electronic music.

"Dynamic Algorithm" is a showcase of the electro/breaks genre, with a masterful blend of dynamic rhythms and intricate rhythmic structures that captivate the senses from the very first note. This track is a testament to the genre's boundless artistic potential, offering an energy-filled experience that will leave a lasting impression. Every meticulously designed sound guides the listener through a meticulous musical algorithm, igniting a deep connection with the senses and immersing them in a world of compelling melodies and captivating grooves.

"Starcruiser" is an immersion into a world of sonic contemplation, where melancholic rhythms intertwine with spatial textures and a melodic sobriety verging on the sublime. Every detail has been meticulously conceived to guide the listener into a state of introspection. This composition transcends mere electronic music, delving into the sphere of artistic seriousness and sonic exploration. Carefully arranged chords, interwoven harmonies, and resonating frequencies combine to create a musical experience that demands the complete immersion of the listener. "Starcruiser" is an ode to gravity and depth in contemporary music.

"Transmission" invites us to imagine a scene where the relentless rhythms of classic techno take center stage in a cosmic dance. This track embodies the essence of classic techno, offering an unwavering and pulsating energy that captures attention. Inspired by industrial nuances of EBM and exploring the corners of electro house, "Transmission" reflects COBEN8's unrelenting quest for tracks that encompass this unique intensity.

"Starcruiser (Laura Coch Remix)" Laura Coch, a visionary in the electronic music scene in Mexico City, collaborated with COBEN8 to create an exciting remix of "Starcruiser." In this thrilling collaboration, Laura skillfully harnessed the unique capabilities of the Electribe MX and Monologue synthesizers, infusing the remix with a distinctive touch that reflects her musical essence. This remix breathes new life into "Starcruiser'' and offers listeners a fresh and exciting perspective on this auditory journey. "Starcruiser (Laura Coch Remix)" stands as the fourth track in this mesmerizing EP. This collaboration is a testament to the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music, where artists dare to push the boundaries of sound, forging a path that is equally inspiring and innovative.
