Abacom System feat. Qumram - Home (2012)

Stato Elettrico

9.2

/Electronic pop, Experimental electronica, Ambient techno, Trance pop, Electro pop/  

Comment: these 7 instrumental tracks spreaded out over 29 minutes are driven by tickling bass sequences having either its divergent variegations or providing the base for more ethereal layers above it. Rome, Italy-based resident Stefano Mascaro`s collaboration with Qumram sounds somewhere in between techno, electro/and trance and electronic pop and some infiltrations on the base of it, however, full of dynamics, energy and full-fledged bounces.

Mindmasher - Mobius Trip (2011)

Stato Elettrico

8.6

/Electronic pop, Techno, Tekno, Art pop, Psytrance, Big beat, Chill out/

Comment: Behind Mindmasher is John Klappstein, a resident from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The album starts out with a bit oriental, laid-back vowel exercises which in the following track will be transformed into a blend of atmospheric layers and pounding tekno beats. Later the whole tends to incorporate much more stylistic elements, including catchy electronic pop approaches and sultry trance and techno occurrences. By the way, the collaboration acts by Brad Sucks and SurveillanceParty feature herein. However, this 4-pieced EP can be compared to Air`s 10,000 Hz Legend (2001).
