The square was vast and wide, only a handful of people were strolling around in the cold, harsh morning air. The myriad of shops bordering the cobbles were beginning to open; awnings out and signs propped front, right and centre, advertising all manner of trinkets, treasures and memorabilia. Soon the place would be brimming with visitors from near and far, all looking for something unique to bring back home with them - for a piece of this place, a memory of a time well spent. 

After their first split-format EP with Anatolian Weapons and LINJA back in 2021, Russian imprint Serenades are returning for another, and this time its Dolphins and Odopt sharing the wax. Continuing the series' mission to connect artists from different places around the world, the release features two tracks from the project of Benedikt Frey, Markus Woernle & Nadia D'Alò as Dolphins and Grigory Nelyubin & Ivan Maslov as Odopt. Strains of downtempo, leftfield and psychedelia all interweave: there's music for losing yourself and forgetting your worries on the dance floor, and there's also sounds for introspection and deep listening.

PREMIERE: Odopt - Syntagma [Serenades]

' Angé makes her debut on Wrong Era with the slick 'Daydream'. A record filled with instantly signature bass hooks and celestial soundscapes that encapsulate her dark, driving, energy-fueled vision. This vision is evident from the get-go with the anthemic 'Daydream'. A pulsating and undoubtedly infectious floor filler with captivating, eerie vocals. The cascading arps of '5AM' follow this tone, flowing in and out of acidic synthesis and piercing percussion. 

'Kevin' is charged with slick post-punk and flashes of shoegaze in the guitar work, amongst powerful vocal cuts and metallic synth lines. 'Sans Nom' is the perfect conclusion to 'Daydream', with an ever-evolving bassline and haunting choral lines. The Estonian producer, selector and co-founder of Tallinn's renowned Dark Disco event series has created a distinctive release with elegant cohesion, leaving us eager for another dive into her sonic realm.

Angé - Daydream

The prolific Karolina Bnv returns to Wrong Era with 'Yet To Come' an industrial-infused, masterful exploration deeper into her ever unfolding sound. The sophisticated follow-up to 'Lessons On Good Behaviour' further enrichens our experience of her world. Opening with 'Unforgivable Decisions, ' an aptly named track that holds its own amongst the industrial greats. Shimmering mechanisms and pulsating arps intertwine, building to harmonic swells and a ghostly vocal from the captivating tones of Karina Jilaz. 'Germany Calling' opens Karolina's new beat intrigue with focused arps circling beneath a commanding vocal loop chanting the track's title. Soft acid lines flutter across the mix, perfectly sitting on either side of the punctual snare.

'Context Abuse' bursts open the second half of the EP with defined bass and the distinct clattering of rimshots. A powerful homage to the sound of Belgium with refreshing flair. Karolina Bnv's sophisticated palette is in full force, with her unmistakably ear-pricking melodics and vocal lines. 'Yet to Come' closes with '1988' an infectious Acid House anthem that weaves between New-Beat and Detroit House. Karolina Bnv brings her sophisticated sounds and undeniable strengths to Wrong Era once again, broadening her horizons with skillful taste.

Yet to Come

Karolina Bnv - 1988

Excerpt from "Disparitions" LP - Medical Records - 2015
__________
Galant insatisfait 
Vêtu de noir 
Nous ne serons jamais 
Un segment d'amour 
C'est sans espoir

J'ai trouvé les limites 
De vos mouvements insolents 
De vos habitudes interminables 
De vos séductions répétitives 
De votre lisse trajectoire

Vos sanglots désirables 
Cousus de fines sutures 
Se distinguent à peine 
Des lointains dédains

Je ne peux rien vous dire 
Sur la douleur 
De ne pas être aimé 
Par l'être souhaité

Un glacier pour aïeul 
L'effroi seul me solidifie 
Résignée à tomber 
J'échappe aux mécanismes

Mes désillusions polaires 
Cerclent les murs 
Des tombeaux pour monsieur

Je suis un segment sans espoir 
Probable que nous ne serons jamais

Nous ne serons jamais 
Un segment d'amour

Info: “N.B.I.C.” – Nanotechnologies – Biotechnologies – Information Technologies – Cognitive Sciences – after their inaugural release “Endless Sunday” in 2022 via Thisbe, Nomenklatür are back on the label with a bang. Indeed, N.B.I.C. gathers 3 original tracks that perfectly blend the minimalist electro and dark techno genres that characterized the sound of the French duo from Paris. The EP, that also features the singles “Anywhere Out of The World” and “Feier der Gestirne”, depicts a chilling world, where human kind is heading to a permanent connection to the grid, without any interruption. Ever. There is no coming-back from it, no more control on anything…Will we be reaching that stage in the near future?

If you listen closely to the music and are mindful of the feelings and emotions conveyed by it, it might indeed be a plausible scenario. Food for thought, music for thought. The immersion into Nomenklatür´s latest production is real.


The EP is completed by a remix by Bonkers Music´s head Ludviq. The Barcelona-based artist brings in his singular sound by reworking the single “Anywhere Out of The World”, transporting the listener into a more psychedelic and New Beat universe, to the greatest delight of the aficionados of Ludviq´s trademark sound.


“N.B.I.C.“ is due to drop on Friday the 28th of March 2025 on Bandcamp and on all streaming platforms on Thisbe Recordings.

Zaatar returns with The Sound of Z, a four-track EP that captures her dark, high-impact vision of electronic music. At its core, the project explores her main artistic pursuit: blending EBM and post-punk aesthetics into club music—finding new ways to merge raw emotion with dancefloor energy.
The EP features two standout collaborations: hypnotic techno DJ VBK, and Kalyug Citizen, a former metal vocalist whose voice brings raw power to "We Tried". Zaatar also uses her own voice across the EP, adding spoken word, screams, and textured layers that deepen the atmosphere.
The Sound of Z is a fierce, personal statement—bridging underground influences and contemporary electronic production.
