If you’re already rid of all your hopes and get through the day with a combination of sweet and cloundy nostalgia along with a “I like you… like a friend” smile, then you’re in luck! “Whatever Comes To Mind” will probably become the soundtrack of your lonesome morning walks to work and your weekend emotional collapse episodes in the comfort of your derelict bachelor(ette) apartment. The Canadian composer MorMor has managed to squish his blues until they’ve turned pink, like a sunburnt person coming out from cyanosis, in a track which just might replace “Perfect Day” on Trainspotting.

Perfecting his queer terror disco experiments comes Lotic, presenting us with his latest delish of a track “Hunted”, loaded with metallic whispers on a tape microphone, ghostly howls and a beat to shake form your PBC muscle to your occiput like the haunted spirit of Dr. Frank N. Furter with powder up his nose on a subterranean Berlin disco.

With a powerful take on the back to basics vibe, Channel Tres takes control of your feet with a subliminal statement: “Your body is a game: Fuck the lame, fuck the fame… I am the controller”, once heard, there is no going back. A very housey drum beat, a 303 bass from those good ol’ Chicago days and Rhodes’ stabs dipped in (delay)*(3). With as little as these four elements the beat exerts a massive gravitational pull which bring a crescendo of his dudes to sing and dance in the mix.

Mitú, a duo from Bogotá surprises us with the main track of their eponymous album, a marvelous expression of their already renown techno palenquero: mixing analog synths and the tambor alegre to produce a wellspring of sound to purify mind and soul as we close our eyes and spin our heads as the rave’s low tide washes away.

Soft as Snow, an electronica and synthpop duo from Norway have just dropped their first album, Deep Wave, with a sound palette ranging from the icy, hazey and abrasive. On “Black Egg”, the first track of the album, a gigantic beat rings thoughout the polar ice cap followed by clouds of white noise and pointy metal synths, covering the sensual and undecipherable voice of vocalist Oda Starheim. I’d bet Smerz, Ladytron and Portishead fans will be delighted by this album.

South African DJ Maramza – a.k.a. Richard Tyler Durden – has returned to his villanous schemes by releasing his Slow Key EP, where the influence of his years as a Gqom, R&B and Future Bass producer are positively palpable. As a first sight of this splendid work, he released Be Careful Who You Love, a stylish, strutting disco track stacked with the gum arabic synths he’s know for.
