Minimal Synth Group - March 2017

1986 darkwave, minimal electro band from Rochester, New York. The lineup was James Tabbi (vocals, acoustic guitar), Jeff Gallea (bass, drum programs, vocals, keyboard), Jack Schaefer (electric guitar) and Dan Brumley (synths, samples, vocoder, melodica). They released the "Bas Relief" LP in 1986, only 500 silkscreened and hand numbered copies of the record were made which are now extremely sought after by minimal synth enthusiasts. This gem has a wonderful low-tech warm driving synth sound that is infectious. The vocals are haunting and the bass lines remind of Joy Division. Almost every song is killer dark post-punk or electronic synth wave. They seemed to take cues from Echo and the Bunnymen, early New Order, Fad Gadget, and Depeche Mode. Songs like Watching Trees, Tears and Cinnamon, Portugal, Ignorant Father, and Temporal deserve to be heard. Timeless."


Eleven Pond - Watching trees(Bedroom Demo)

excerpt from "Disparitions" LP (Medical Records, 2015)
-----------------------------
Je suis ce corps, égaré
Soutenu sur le plan incliné
D'une montagne de cendres
Entrelacée de forêts et de lac
Où résonnent les cloîtres
Et la solitude des sommets

Avalanche d'absence
Rouée de coups
Avant-goûts
De débuts difficiles

La gravité prend le dessus
Telle une flèche défaillante
Occupant l'inattendu
D'un grand ciel cinéma

D'un grand ciel cinéma

Les cierges dressés fondent en larmes
Mon ombre portée
Au mode de vie panoramique
M'abandonne
Depuis, je vois la vie en sombre

Possédée par le secret
Des portes fermées à clé
À fleur de peau de tout
Un brouillard de colère m'envahie
Le cœur serré à double tour

Je me tue pour toujours
Je me tue pour toujours

Vient alors l'évasion
Déchirante autoroute
Sauve-qui-peut
Défilement de bitume et d'imagination
Disparition fantôme

Ce ne sera pas la dernière
Ma vie n'est faite que de ça

Disparition fantôme

Ma vie n'est faite que de ça
-----------------------------




Peine Perdue - DISPARITION FANTÔME

Alex June - Rose Pourpre

https://ffm.to/theluck

New Zealand producer @HarryCharles follows up his sophomore album MOVEMENT with the new track 'The Luck', which marks a shift towards a more energetic and uplifting direction.

‘The Luck’ blends hook-laden melodies and bright synth layers with a driving deep house groove. It’s a clear evolution from the downtempo, organic moods of MOVEMENT, and signals a bold new chapter for Harry’s sound.

The Luck

“Boy In Love” is my tribute to one of my all-time favorite songs from the ’80s. The original track by Erasure has been with me for years — but I always wanted to hear it the way I’d play it in my sets: with a driving beat, warm synth layers, and a progressive tension made for the dance floor.

Digital Exclusive:
DX1 - Too Forward (BALD Remix)

The Meant label really is on a fine run in 2015, and now offers up its 3rd release of the year. This one is a brilliant, club ready package from Rework and features excellent original material alongside carefully A&Red remixes from BALD and ClickBox.
Rework is a German collaborative project between Daniel Varga, Michael Kuebler and Sascha Hedgehog. As well as having ties to this label, they have released on Items & Things, Visionquest and Playhouse, and high profile fans include Seth Troxler. The creative trio has been doing this more than 15 years now, and as such is as good at making essential 12”s as it is full length albums.
Opener ‘Too Forward’ is a freaky bit of slow motion electronic house. Vast kicks form the marching beat as trippy vocals repeat the title’s refrain until it loses all form. Around it, sparking electronics and phased synth lines make for a fine cacophony that will undoubtedly freak out ‘floors.
The devilishly dark and alluring ‘Overdosed’ is a more up tempo track with shadowy post punk energy. No wave synths gurgle and tinny chords light up the centre as a disaffected vocal mutters about overdosing over the top. It’s another perfectly freaky track. Last offering ‘Candy And Korg’ is a wiggling, synthetic house track cut from the Gemini mould. It’s bubbly, rich and subtly groovy and is the sort of thing you’d hear in a Craig Richards set.
Magda favourites ClickBox then remix this one into a sparse but elastic affair with dry hi hats the main hook of a perfectly reduced minimal track. Finally, buy the EP digitally and you will also get a brilliant BALD remix of ‘Too Forward’ that is all tough synths, alien arps and reverb rich vocal ad libs.
Once again here Meant and Rework have cooked up a perfect dance floor storm.

K-Effect - Walking On Mars

Following the critically acclaimed release of Golden Bug’s V.I.C.T.O.R. album last year, La Belle Records tap into some of their favourite contemporary artists and ask them for remixes. Il Est Vilaine, Red Axes, Destino, Thomass Jackson, Danny Daze, Strapontin and more all serve up sizzling results in return. The original album was a vital and broad affair which touched on everything from adult disco to psyche-funk, abstract atmospheres to slow-fi techno. It was another highlight in the Paris man’s esteemed discography.

Glasgow producer and Optimo trax artist MR TC, who also runs the Night of the Jaguar parties and has released on this label before, then gets spooky and unsettling on his dark and broody re-rub of ‘Un Paradis Artificiel’ feat. Julienne Dessagne.

This is a fantastic package that marries together electronic music, dub, freaky synth work and post punk guitars into eleven menacing and meaningful tracks.

@absolute-sounds - 'Malfunction' EP out now on Twin Turbo: TurboRec.lnk.to/Malfunction

The man DJ Mag called “Absolutely Unstoppable” and Superfluous Punctuation Magazine called “Worth the Trouble” is back with four dark techno bombs that promise to extend his reign as Tiga’s new best friend for another week at least.

It is difficult to look at ABSOLUTE’s rockin’ rocket ride of a career with anything less than total admiration. This guy’s got all the right moves, plus the Beatport numbers to back it up in court. The follow-up to his hit Twin Turbo debut, Malfunction conjures vintage late-night smoke machine vibes with considerably less effort than it takes to describe them for promotional purposes.
