“Chaotic” by electronic producer Cédric Elisabeth is accompanied by a truly intense cinematic music video. The Ambient Techno cut is part of the artist’s 6-track album, ‘Facing Reality’ via Detroit Underground. My favorite part of the visuals directed by Nicolas Simon is that different interpretations may arise after watching the whole story. However, there’s no doubt this clip leans into dark aesthetics and a mysterious plot. In my view, it involves everyday people lurching into internal conflict or mayhem but seeking music as an escape. Sonically, the ultimate goal of  Cédric is to create an illusion, and that’s exactly what you are going to experience with his new project. With just simple minimal beats and atmospheric textures, you’ll get hooked onto it right from the start until the end.

Electronic music producer, Bates Belk returns from 5-year hiatus with a hot EP titled ‘Euphoria’. In order to innovate, he brings something unconventional to the table. A material inspired by Berlin’s atmosphere of freedom and open-minded society. As a matter of fact, it was produced in Germany’s capital city. Surprisingly, voice and breath recordings were done during sexual encounters by performance artists with different sexual orientations. Taking this into account, Belk embraces a concept, which celebrates gender fluidity and diversity. Feelings of euphoria are triggered due to acid-laced rhythms and raw techno energy. Above all, his music becomes the best antidote against oppression.

If you wish to experience trippy visuals, Belk’s new single “Euphoria” comes with psychedelic animations to achieve that purpose. On a side note, this is the first taste of his upcoming album ‘The Dark Spektrum’ to be released in 2020. One of the most intriguing details is that it will feature the collaboration of 50 Berlin-based artists. It has also been mixed by none other than Gareth Jones, who is known for projects with Depeche Mode, Erasure, Interpol, etc. Sincerely, I can’t wait for this album release to arrive. Stay posted, more news soon!

Rich Sibley graces the Techno world with a 3-track EP, ‘Machine Learning’. Clearly, he showcases his futuristic vision on the genre through a unique combination of analog drum machines + massive synths. If I’m not wrong, I believe the concept behind this project has something to do with artificial intelligence or robots. Among other things, the killer melodies are enhanced with sampled vocal snippets. In fact, he brings to life an old CD-ROM from the mid-90s, taking advantage of its most interesting sonic elements. With imagination and creativity, Rich keeps the energy levels up on each tune. As a result, ‘Machine Learning’ will blow your mind as you navigate through an endless flow of beats. Put your headphones on for a better listening experience.

Luca Draccar‘s 3-track EP, ‘Noordinary’ is quite impressive due to its exotic rhythms. Blending the sounds of Techno, driving synths, hypnotic beats and dark melodies, this material is as delightful as one can imagine. Above all, the concept behind all these tracks is what really grabs my attention. Great civilizations and the evolution of humankind is part of his inspiration. Moreover, heavy-hitting kick drums warm up the atmosphere that welcomes you to unconventional music. That being said, Luca is on the experimental front of the underground scene. Indeed, his avant-garde style has been praised by Gus Gus, Maceo Plex, Richie Hawtin, Robert Owens, John Digweed, Carl Craig, among others. Obviously, this is a good sign for his next gems in the years ahead. Take a listen right here via Spotify, and get your own conclusions.
