C-sium – Daze Loft EP (2006)



  • Electronic pop 
  • Breakbeat 
  • Alternative dance 
  • Electro pop 
  • Acid electro 
  • Breaks

Comment: I guess this handful of tracks could live up to one's expectations. Given that one likes music based on electro and lysergic based electronic formulas. It starts off with two catchy electro-based propulsions as if it were stemmed from drone music being disturbed by the discontinuity and shortness of the signal beneath it. Indeed, it starts off to last for a second and then fade away. And then embarks on the process again. In fact, the two ending compositions follow the same route though Lazy M is based on the gentle breakbeat rhythm. The only exception is a track called Kyzza chiming a bit in Arthur Russell-alike way. New Age-y flute whiffs are intertwined with naturalistic drum shuffles and vague electronic touches atop. This solid issue is a part of the discography of Midinette Records.

Bouwakanja – Hajiba (2013)



  • Alternative dance 
  • Electronic music 
  • Electro pop 
  • Breaks 
  • Acid electro 
  • Breakbeat

Comment: an artist called Bouwakanja can be considered an interesting artist since I listened to his album Incantation. Hajiba is a massive event due to a huge range of different sounds, intense rhythms and sophisticated patterns in both sounds and rhythms, basic sounds and counterparts to it and the synergy between the compartments. It embraces as much pieces as 16. That's challenging. Similarly to C-sium's Daze Loft EP it involves droning electro intensity and strained needle-shaped and smithereens-alike rhythms being backed up by dynamics providing it a coherent adhesive matter between the more or less rugged parts. Frequently those rough elements are saturated with gloomy synthesised progressions atop giving it a more spaced-out yet eerie approach. Furthermore, the artist employs more subdued and tranquil moments to provide shifts in mood and structure. For sure, although it might be not very apparent throughout the course at times there are up some Middle Eastern motives to have surfaced here and there. Indeed, the charming clash keeps going to appear from the very beginning to the very end. He also uses human voices to warp them into something new into something more mechanical and robotic. This intriguing outing is a part of the discography of Section 27.

Golgotha Communications Ltd – Music That Doesn`t Exist (2013)



  • Electro-acoustic 
  • Abstract 
  • Electronic music 
  • Post-industrial 
  • Noise 
  • Avant-garde 
  • Experimentalism 
  • Minimalism 
  • Acousmatic music 
  • Microtonal 
  • Non-music

Comment: Golgotha Communications Ltd is a collective from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA whose 14-track issue continues the artist's peripheral and uncompromising tendencies within the post-industrial scene. And the imprint is very proper fro that – Arnaud Barbe aka Pollux led Sirona-Records. More profoundly, it is filled in with repeated sounds, with a minimized approach to make the listener to be subjugated to certain sounds and certain sonic combinations. Indeed, the listener can discern shifts between harsh yet easy-going shapes and remarkably more strained noise drenched sounds and rough sonic effects as if coming out from a very tiny slot. Mind-provoking and challenging. By following and analysing the title it can be interpreted in different ways – it is indeed a sort of music which does not exist anymore after it is performed (the sort of acousmatic music). If the repeat button is switched off it will not be heard through earphones and speakers. And if it will be repeated again the listener`s perception will perceive it differently because of being alien and involving way too many elements to be remembered in the same way. Secondly, it can be interpreted as a sort of anti-music in terms of pop music. It is way too radical for the bourgeois` scene. It may even involve some “comfort” sounds but they are subjugated to algorithms having nothing in common with the pop scene. It is protestant and it is painful. And it is very impressive.

Dildo – Febbre (2005)



  • Alternative 
  • Art pop 
  • Electronic pop 
  • Breaks 
  • Indie 
  • Jungle 
  • Breakbeat

Comment: this is an offbeat dance pop and breaks mixed outing. There are represented three tracks with slightly different intentions and approaches but in overall it is all about rhythmic alchemy. So take your listening time very carefully to find out all the subtle shades and faint borders from within it. Loose rhythms are variegated with more determined and compelling torrents – from artsy indie and subdued yet lurking electro pop to noisy jungle and blasting breakbeat appearances. Female and male voices are cutely intertwined with each other to create the counterpoint to those violent rhythmic progressions (especially at Industria). Dildo is the trio of Elena Pongoli, Gabriele Mendi, and Fabio Macor and these tracks were recorded in 1999. This solid impression is a bit in the discography of Laverna.
