Sinitsin – False Transmitter EP [EMCV013]

September 18, 2023September 15, 2023 hipodromeelectro, electro music coalition, sinitsinLeave a comment

This is the first solo release by Sinitsin, producer, DJ and one part of the duo Formally Unknown. Six tracks of electro with a clippy and dystopian edge come amid the theme of a psyop radio transmitter; a radio tower parasitised by a giant squidlike alien with many grotesque eyes, hijacking our human broadcasts with its own alien agenda. As if to question the popular belief that such a thing has never happened before, each track is hyper-orderly and mega-sequenced, challenging the listener to give over their connotations of humanity with rhythmic imperfection. This is subliminal broadcast electro, bypassing all media and eerily working its way straight to the dome.

MPU420 – BPM1 [IT057]

September 14, 2023September 13, 2023 hipodromedetroit techno, electro, ilian tape, mpu420Leave a comment

Releases on the Ilian Tape label are nearly always two things – a) shrouded in mystery, and b) a little unconventional. Given that the painter who created the artwork gets a credit on the 12″s label but the musician or musicians themselves get no mention, it’s fair to assume a) has been fulfilled. The music itself fulfils b) too, as hard edged rhythms clocking in closer to electro than techno provide a vehicle much softer, more sensitive musical flourishes. ‘WantU’ is probably the overall highlight, with its crystal clear arp riffing and Kraftwerk-esque bumping, but ‘Chiemgau606’, the rawer ‘OSC’ and ‘Sinister808’ should all appeal to those who like their grooves esoteric and full of personality – but ultimately still dancefloor slaying.

Ole Mic Odd – Gutted Not Rotted [DC022]

September 4, 2023August 31, 2023 hipodromecassette, dead channel records, electro, michael padgett, ole mic oddLeave a comment

Los Angeles based Ole Mic Odd (Michael Padgett) hits Dead Channel with this highly anticipated scorcher of an EP. At the forefront of mutant sounds, Padgett hammers his way through pumped-up, biting acid electro, lo-fi fuzzed out melodia, and absolutely mangled percussive tracks shattering your wrecked body into a thousand pieces. The musical vanguard seamlessly fuses rhythm and sound from the far reaches of modern dance music, culminating in this sinister work of preternatural maximum overdrive.

Patricia Kokett – Psykhe [ITILP001]

August 30, 2023October 20, 2023 hipodromeelectro, electronics, gediminas jakubka, isla to isla, patricia kokett, synth waveLeave a comment

‘Psykhe’ sees Lithuanian musician and composer Gediminas Jakubka continuing to explore his distinct sound, but taking it in a new direction: a step away from the euphoric new age dance floor and into a significantly murkier, more precarious territory. ‘Psykhe’ is meant as a sonic simulacrum of the artist’s psyche during the pandemic – a quickened mind bred by a decelerated world. In that and other senses, the record is a modern take on the ‘80s/’90s Detroit ethos of dance music created for an illusory dance floor.

Ed Upton is back to Shipwrec for his sixth release with the label. The British musician has crafted icy electro, thoughtful electronica and textured techno and ‘Tree in Space’ is a combination of these styles. Blending a spread of sounds, acid, braindance and techno, DMX Krew serves up something truly special. Brooding notes are met by cracked percussion and simmering 303 squawk in a track that pursues its own path. An EP from a musician that continues to stretch boundaries and imaginations.

Sound Synthesis – Orbital 107 [ORBITAL107]

August 21, 2023November 14, 2024 hipodromeacid, electro, keith farrugia, orbital mechanics, sound synthesis, under the radarLeave a comment

Maltese producer Sound Synthesis continues a wildly prolific run following not one but two albums dropped this year, not to mention another four EPs before this one. His Orbital Mechanics series has carried some of his most sharply focused electro workouts of the past two years and so it continues with this new care package from the dark side of the circuit board. ‘DNS Musik’ is a nightmarish electro-techno growler, while ‘Programming Your Mind’ has a sleeker approach without disrupting the eerie mood. ‘Endless Moments Of Beauty’ has a stronger melancholic tint to its expansive pads, and ‘Memorable Nights’ lays on some heavy-hearted emotional tones which offer a fine foil to the tougher demeanour of the A-side.
