![]() Sleepless in Pyongyang - Kronos2015-09-07 (News)DIN (A) Tod mastermind Sven Claussen returns with his new project. The limited 7" single "Kronos" provides a fascinating first glimpse into a playful sonic universe comprised of Cold Wave and Minimal Electro. The first single of "Sleepless In Pyongyang" will only receive a physical release as a 7" vinyl single that is strictly limited to 99 copies. This rare gem is destined to become an absolute collector's item for people with a distinct taste in music. The name "Sleepless in Pyongyang" conjures up quite contrasting associations: on the one hand, it reminds of the coldness and inhumanity of a totalitarian regime while also sporting a striking (and most probably deliberate) similarity to the title of a highly successful romantic comedy. The combination of both extremes is a kind of fitting description of the music of Sven Claussen's newest endeavor. The title track mingles electronic coldness with a menacingly distorted voice to an intimidating musical vision in a monolithic behemoth of a song dominated by the mechanical prowess of electronic machines. The b-side "Starlight Desperation" is a more breezy affair. Powered by cult-machines like Roland's TR-707 and the Juno 60 synthesizer, the song reminds of the golden age of Cold Wave. Produced by Christiano Santini. Retro-charms meet unbridled creativity in tracks that will touch, captivate and unsettle. |

![]() ESA - Themes of Carnal Empowerment Pt.3: Penance2015-09-02 (News)ESA's (Electronic Substance Abuse) sound is always a hard one to pin down. Taking influences initially from rhythmical noise acts, the overall structures have developed and integrated countless influences from the broad spectrum of alternative and extreme music. The tone of ESA is harsh and oppressive, dripping with destructive and corroded grooves whilst still emanating sub conscious melodies and a strong sense of Spirituality. ESA's compositions are undoubtedly threatening and offensive floor stomping club tunes but also twist and churn enough to warrant more attentive listening. |
