Zsa Zsa Laboum / HNO3 – Something Scary / Doughnut Dollies [DONT021]
The new release from Don’t imprint features two sublime 1988 Belgian New Beat classics from Zsa Zsa Laboum and HN03. Laboum’s “Something Scary” is perhaps the archetypal New Beat track, commencing with a sample lifted from the dodgy 80s B Movie “The Entity” and displaying some excellent percussion and a powerful and obscure acid line – it still sounds excellent some twenty four years later. On the flip is the R&S classic “Doughnut Dollies” from New Beat icon Eric Beysens under his HN03 moniker features. It’s grubby industrial arpeggio sounding equally vibrant today – especially pitched way down to -8 like the New Beat guys used to do!
Dont – AR 005 [AR005]
Berlin’s undercover Atelier Records crew return with a release that shares it origins with the SUED release that dropped this week too. This is Dont’s 2nd release for the label & is almost like a mini LP full of short tracks that sit somewhere between Lo-Fi bedroom synth jams, Minimal Wave, Electro & Post Punk. Basically, this is a very interesting release, seriously heavy music on here, off key vocals & some very Leftfield sounds are the order of the day.
