Synthetike Kakophonie #80

Hey guys.

Can you believe it ? already 80 shows. So much music discovered, so many mixes (240 exactly... yeah 240 mixes). Seems insane how time flies and yet our scene keeps evolving, growing, bitching, shrinking, agonizing, reviving etc... All in all I remain optimistic and I will for sure continue to entertain your ears as long as I keep the faith that what I'm doing is cool !!!

So anyway, here's the playlist of this week.

MIX 1
IC434 : Insomniac
Essence Of Mind : Queued
Turnbull ACs : Twisted
Dolls Of Pain : Torture
Nachtmahr : Deus Ex Machina

MIX 2
System Syn : The Void
Stray : Abuse By Proxy
Blank : Persistence
VNV Nation : Carry You
Mind.In.A.Box : Redefined

MIX 3
Nachtmahr : Ich Glaube
SAM : Ism Inc.
XOTOX : Wirbeltier
Manufactura : Open For Pleasure
Experiment Haywire : Decapitation Of The Nation (Ambassador 21 remix)

Album of the week : SAM - Destruction Unit. Let's be honest, I didn't really like their first album. It was way too repetitive and not noisy enough for me... Problem solved ; Destrcution Unit is a killing machine. Formidable Teknoize album. You're going to love it as I play several tracks from it.

XTREMIX : Dahlia's Tear : Under Seven Skies.

da podcast oh yeah

Synthetike Kakophonie #78

Hey guys,

Finally the new schedule is started, and you had the first edition of SK starting at 00:00. Last night's show was great. Good music and good vibes all the way. The album of the week is admittedly an odd one, but great nonetheless. Here's what happened last night ;

Mix 1 :
Experiment Haywire : A Game Called Life (XP8 Remix)
Angelspit : Skinny Little Bitch
Diffuzion : Wondering
Negative Format : Pathogen
Stray : Something For Your Mind

Mix 2 :
Distatix : Medication
Jesus On Extasy : Beloved Enemy (Chai Vs Autoagression Club Mix)
Nebula H : Art Of Pornography
Memmaker : Get Your Ass To Mors
Massiv In Mensch feat Mind.In.A.Box : Supermassive Gravity

Mix 3 :
This Morn' Omina : (Fp)
Ad.Ver.Sary : Ancients
Iszoloscope : Insubstantiability
Prospero : The World That I See (Trance Mix)
W.A.S.T.E. : Left'em bleeding In The Moonlight

Album of the week : Prospero : Folie A Deux.
Another fabulous release from Artoffact. The Canadian label is on a roll releasing only high quality and varied music. Their recent releases are way above average and Prospero continues this tradition. In this album Prospero demonstrates more variety and maturity than in its previous opus. Here we get a bit of Trance, a bit of EBM, a bit of Noise, a bit of IDM and even some tribal and dubstep influences. Take all these ingredients and blend them and you get this crazy album.

Listen to the show live to get all the goodness from the album of the week !!!

XTREMIX : Horologium : Earthbound. At times quieter and at times angrier than usual Horologium releases, this time featuring lyrics and vocals by Troy Southgate. I think this is the 3rd official album of this band + plenty of collaborative works and EPs and it's also one of their best releases.

Synthetike Kakophonie #77

Hi friends,

Here is this week's playlist. I particularily recommend you check out Stray, our album of the week, it's a little hidden gem for those who like Kirlian Camera and Headscan.

Mix 1 :
Stray : Abuse By Proxy
Blank : Unspoken
Leaether Strip : A Whore For Jesus
Wavefall : Freedom Car
Grendel : Dirty

Mix 2 :
Nuzery Rhymes : Confession
:A7IE: : Taste Of Sorrow
Dawn Of Ashes : Inhuman Salvation
Xentrifuge : Downcast
Animassacre : Doomed At Birth

Mix 3 :
IWR : New Dawn
Object : Dreamer Without Dreams
Mulphia : (Take) Your Place
Nordschlacht : String Theory
Individual Totem : In Memorial

Album Of The Week : Stray : Abuse By Proxy. A magnificent piece of music from Unter Null's Erica Dunham in a side project that could seriously become the main project. I hear some Liquid Divine, some Headscan, some Kirlian Camera here, but with a very original and persona atmosphere and subtle vocals. I strongly recommend people buy it !!! Especially the limited edition because CD2 is absolutely essential.

Synthetike Kakophonie #75

Hello all,

SK was not dead, just dormant for the Kinetik festival, and boy was this ever a great moment. Seriously this is some of the best musical fun I've ever had in my life. Everything was perfect from on organizational point of view, and the crowd was absolutely awesome. I have some interviews which will be ready for diffusion next week (stay tuned for the Memmaker one, it's a bit insane).

So yeah now I'm back in full force with a great mix and a sublime podcast as a comeback. I'm really proud of my mixes of last night, here's the playlist :

Mix 1 :
Ad.Ver.Sary : Friends Of Father
XOTOX :l Grob Fahelassin
Synth-Etik : Phantom
Prometheus Burning : Battery Drain
ESA : Cursing

Mix 2 :
Stray : Abuse By Proxy
UnterArt : The Antagonist
Wavefall : Invasion
Reaper : Weltfremd
Retractor : The False Memory

Mix 3 :
Burial : Untrue
Mad EP : Menuet
Meat Beat Manifesto : Children of Planet Earth
Fanu + Bill Laswell : Hollow Ground
Enduser : Retaliation

Album of the week is actually album of the year in my idea... Ad.Ver.Sary : Bone Music. This album is a wonderful journey akin to the ones Iszoloscope offers, except maybe with an accentuation on poetry and melancholy. It's pretty energetic and reflexive at the same time. Bone Music is a deep experience, always floating between noise and IDM and skillfully taking the listener on a journey into the artists mind but you could also see it as an invitation to plunge into your own mind.

XTREMIX : Tzol'kin : Haab.
