TESLASONIC - Singularity

With strong ties to the MinimalRome label, former duo and now solo project of Gianluca Bertasi aka Teslasonic arrives on Nocta Numerica. Teslasonic here throws down a gauntlett of highly electrified club and acid tracks that touch on Electro as much as they do Techno and underground rave. With obscure melodies making it into tracks like “Obsex”, retroactive ’80s Synth themes make their way into “Nemesis” with more solid acid tracks coming from “The Game Is Out There” and “The Network”. Look to this EP’s title-track for something bright and shiny with “Arp Island” injecting a vision of hope and positivity into a genre that regularly plays on themes of decay and dystopia.

Rotterdamn’s ever prolific DJ Overdose delivers his first full length for L.I.E.S., “Emulator Amour”. The well seasoned electro veteran gives us a 13 track master class workout in the genre, exploring all ends and styles. From the classic cowbell electro of “Razor”, to the West Coast boogie of “Bow to the Devourer” or the icy electro bass of “Turns Out Eddy Has No Friends” Overdose leaves no stone unturned. One of the artists most complete works in his vast catalog which ties all his influences together and presents them in true Overdose form. Not to be missed. A true classic from a Dutch master.

“Should you still have any additional good fortune left, we have put together a second Aid EP, to help support the artists in our community and on our label, currently under financial pressure due to the massive amount of DJ gig and live set cancellations within our scene – and to keep the lights on in our collective, which is heavily dependent on income from event production. All sales will be split 50/50 between the artists and ourselves, after production costs have been recouped.”

UMWELT - Escape The Future

Umwelt returns to his own New Flesh Records imprint with his unique EP to date this year. ”Escape The Future” sees the French producer concluding his Future trilogy started in 2015 with ”When Future And Past Collapse” and pursued in 2017 with ”Encoding The Future” on Netherlands based Shipwrec. Fuelled by industrial and post-apocalyptic atmospheres, Umwelt’s brand new 12” gathers together all of the elements that made his dark sound so recognizable, a digest of complex yet dancefloor rhythms fused into insane synth oscillations and Rave influences. Melodic ”Escape The Future” is a much anticipating five tracker blending Umwelt’s unique aesthetic and style, obsessed by a pessimistic vision of the future.
