Spectral Sound has been a bit quiet as of late, but the imprint will soon return with a star-studded compilation called 'Spectral 139.' Scheduled for release on September 21 and populated with tracks by Matrixxman, Russell E.L. Butler, D'Marc Cantu, Minimal Violence and others, this promising collection proves that the dance music offshoot of Ghostly International is still alive and kicking. Ahead of the record's arrival, we debuted the tweaky rhythms of "Versione Antica" from prolific NYC producer Gunnar Haslam on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Fear, disturbance, force and melancholia unite to reach alarming levels, as new Dutch producer OorsprongPark releases his debut album, Velvet Curtain, in our digital series.

Seamlessly blending EBM, electro, techno, new beat, industrial and synth-pop, OorsprongPark shapes his universe of sound through haunting visions of the Soviet Union’s cold dictatorships and closed cities, the dark romantic worlds of Italian giallo and the disquieting effectiveness of German machines.

'Palais’ is a 12 track multi-faceted exploration of Kris Baha’s musical sensitivity. The one man band’s namesake LP title, ‘Palais’ is based around the concepts of alienation, detachment, melancholia and lust. All songs written, performed, recorded and mixed by Kris between 2015 - 2018 in Berlin, laced in his signature industrial sound. ‘Palais’ encompasses a range of shades from dance-floor works ‘ Living Nothingness’, 'Brink Reality (Part 2)' & 'Non For The Sane’  to experimental cinematic undertones 'You Told Yourself This Would Get Worse’. Also embodied are modern classics like the machine funk metallics of ’Steel Sands’  and ‘Defied’, a year 2042 cyber punk hit. There’s even a dark room inspired theme for the black leather lovers. From his own batch of psychedelia to post-punk and electronic romanticism this album is full of surprises and we at Cocktail d’Amore Music are absolutely proud to present this outstanding work.

Following releases this year on XXX and Nein, Italian duo Younger Than Me now make their debut on Jennifer Cardini and Noura Labbani’s Dischi Autunno with an outstanding, explorative, yet inherently (and beautifully) 90s-feeling five-track EP.
Three originals, two remixes: ‘Mind Hunter’ leads the cosmic charge, ploughing us beyond the known universe on a ship of acid and pulsating warm analog synths. ‘Feeling Breath’ takes us even deeper into electronica’s most formative decade with an uptempo thrust, more acid and wry elements of trance before ‘Sewer Rat’ takes us deep underground with much more of a percussive techno twist. 
Remix-wise Jennifer has recruited the perfect complementary artists: Acid Junkies (who made the first record she ever learnt to DJ with back in 94) flip ‘Sewer Rat’ into an almighty acid juggernaut while Shan once again reminds us why he’s the master of modern rave a stunning eight-minute, break-based twist on ‘Feeling Breath’.

Mark du Mosch returns to Pinkman, after his debut EP The Red Hour back in 2016. Magneto takes you on a rollercoaster ride from an industrial factory workout to a soulful frenzy and back. Filled with heavy, borderline tribal rhythms intertwined with glitchy loops and spacey melodies, it’s a vortex into a dreamlike state where the routine is the villain and the practice of discipline unfolds into the liberation of creativity. And all given groove Mark du Mosch’s style.

Mark du Mosch - Magneto (PNKMN37)

You never get used to the feeling of cold steel plunging into your brain stem. A moment of muscular convulsion and a metallic aftertaste are a breeze compared to the eye-strained methods my grandfather used to enter virtual realms. Bypassing the archaic detour of beaming data through the senses, hardlining straight to the brain is the favoured method of those seeking a ‘true to life’ experience. As the program boots, vision withdraws and the world collapses. Like the moment in a dream where you’re unsure of your surroundings, but your mind fills in the gaps, the spectacular nature of this voluntary world becomes normality. 

Based out of the Netherlands, the Coloray helmed label ‘Intercept’ is on release duty for Lewski’s latest, Military Simulations. Across its three tracks, Lewski unleashes his unique approach to sound and rhythm, sprinkling the release with otherworldly instrumentation, whilst constantly the building the suspense. Our pick is the title track, an industrial techno stomper, with the best elements of electro and acid thrown in for good measure. The track’s bleeps and warbles atop frantic percussion build excitement for the cyberpunk raves of our near dystopia.

PREMIERE: Lewski - Military Simulations [Intercept]

Not a speck of light entered the room; every crack and crevice had been filled and the windows were covered with thick black curtains that were sealed at each side. Not many would choose to live in the darkness but these creatures only came out at night, the sun had always been their enemy. They was the only life they knew.

Turbo Recordings' Twin Turbo series turn their attention to Barcelona for their next release, welcoming SEEKING THE VELVET boss Cora Novoa for the first time. Having wanted to work with her for a while, the Vitalic's Citizen and Hivern Discs alumni makes a triumphant debut with a two tracker that contrasts in both name and nature. While the A-Side brings the euphoric peak time cut 'Sun', on the flip comes 'Black Out'; a heavy dystopian stomper crafted for the dark room.
