Berlin

An ongoing playlist of projects that I've discovered by devoting time to listening to new music. I'm an avid fan of many projects, and want to support them by sharing what they do with others. In following some of my very favourites, I've branched way out there to all kinds of other styles. Hope you like what you hear, and go forth and share your finds.

Project Marina are a Boy/girl  synth-pop band from Nantes in the West of France.
The duo combines guitar, analog synths and drum machine to develop songs between French synth punk, techno and electro krautrock. 
As if Alan Vega kissed Etienne Daho on a french touch party, it's a try to combine your mother's caress and your father's slap at the same time.

"Minimum Viable Product" (MVP) is an incremental Compilation to be built by Detonic Recordings over the next year. Each Month an on-line single will be published with an "A" and "B" side from each participating artist.
At then end of the year the complete compilation will be released featuring one track from each artist.

More Than Machinery

Cut Me To The Bone

Cut Me To The Bone - This Is The Bridge (from the album 'More Than Machinery')

After intense touring ‘Of Desire’ in Europe, Asia and beyond,  The KVB returned to their studio to further immerse themselves in sonic experimentation. The resulting ‘Above Us’ heralds the next chapter in the adopted-Berliners dark, electronic pop development. With waves of synthesisers, flourishes of surf guitar and sequences driving with nervous energy, the tension finally relieves with a surging, euphoric chorus. 

Brighter and more expansive than ever, the track demonstrates the bands growing ability to create sonic journeys, yet retains the atmosphere synonymous with The KVB.

“‘Above Us’ is about defiance in reaction to the anxieties of modern life.  In a world where you and your data are the product, ‘Above Us’ seeks to reclaim the power over yourself and to make your own decisions.” - Kat & Nick, The KVB

This Summer sees the duo make several festival appearances including Green Man and Meltdown the latter of which is curated by The Cure’s Robert Smith.

‘Above Us’ is released on Invada Records, 30th May 2018

The KVB - Above Us

@La-Mverte ’s October 2017 album ‘The Inner Out’ now gets some carefully commissioned remix treatment on @her-majestys-ship from exciting artists Matias Aguayo, In Aeternam Vale and La Mverte himself.

The album, ‘The Inner Out’, was a unique mix of industrial, disco, new wave and Italo that marked another high point in the Paris producer’s discography. Three of the key tracks from it now get fresh reinterpretations that bring plenty of heat to the dance floor.

In @in-aeternam-vale-1 is rooted in punk-rock nihilism, Kraftwerk coldness and aggressive industrialism, and has been since the eighties. His arresting take on ‘The Inner Out’ has a wild spirit. Flailing synths and bleeping keys bring a rave element to the dehumanised vocals while strobe lit grooves and stiff stabs make this one brilliantly muscular and macho.

These are three wonderfully club focused tracks that deal in plenty of rawness and grit.

Pearls 2 Swine

The music of the band is deeply influenced by and related to the experimental electronic music of the late 1970s and early 1980s, that was made in Sheffield by bands like The Future/The Human League, Vice Versa, Cabaret Voltaire, or by the formerly in Preston based musician Colin Potter and a few American avant-garde artists, pioneering in electronic music, like John Bender, etc.. Although the band is very careful in creating a minimal electronics sound, obviously appearing vintage in itself, it is produced in a hybrid way, by using analogous procedures and modern techniques of production as well. So in the end Lower Synth Department is concerned with post-minimal electronics so to speak.
 
The name of the band is related to at least three different references, which intercommunicate and therefore depict the sound of the band: first to the cold aesthetics of modernist, especially brutalist architecture, which conveyed and expressed a very dehumanized attitude to life from the 1950s till the 1960s, that still affected even the 1980s. Second, technically speaking, to the low frequency oscillator, which creates a rhythmic pulse or sweep and is often used to modulate synthesizers, delay lines and other audio equipment in order to create effects used in the production of electronic music, while the final reference derives from the band's name abbreviation.
