WHEN IN FRANCE…

[HearDis! 360]

After several experimental rock albums Turzi decided to change both, the sound and the name of the band: With a name like Turzi Electronique Expérience it’s clear for everybody what to expect. The Track „En France“, taken from the album “Education“, sounds like a short cut through the history of electronic music, linking Kraftwerk with Jean-Michel Jarre and arriving on some Balearic island where Pantha du Prince already ordered a drink for you. Does this sound a little bit strange? Well, you better hear for yourselves!

BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE

[HearDis! 353]

There’s not too much information available on the A Taste Of Struggle project. But who needs background info if the music itself is just simply amazing? The debut of producers Amos & Truenoys appears on London’s first rate Deep Medi Musik imprint and features classy remixes by Skream and Commodo and further is flanked by a great video. So it’s only logical people like BBC 6 Music’s Mary Anne Hobb would sit up and take notice. Check out the track right here to get your taste of this promising talent!

New week, new music everybody! And this is quite a filet mignon of music we’re serving right here: Coma is the production-alias of Marius Bubat and Georg Conrad, who like to release quality records via Cologne’s powerhouse Kompakt.

Play the track right here to get into that midsummer mindstate and hopefully the weather’s gonna do its deed…

SHE LIKES TO MOUSE

[HearDis! 351]

Mighty Mouse and Van She are both established producers who have a number of fantastic releases under their respective belts. 2010 they met at a mutual gig at Social Club in Paris. Good for them, you think? Good for you, we say! After this encounter they formed the super group Du Tonc and their first single is entitled “Darkness” and it’s just what the debut of a super group should sound like in our book. These two are definitely an act to watch for 2013, so check out the phenomenal video of “Darkness” and grab one of the free downloads right here!

MYSTERIOUS VIBES

[HearDis! 350]

Robotalco is one of those myths in modern day music: We don’t know the person behind it – all we can guess is that someone is from Italy and really knows their stuff. Check out the track “X Lines” right here and make sure to watch the video as well, as both deliver just that balearic summer vibe that we’ve been yearning for so long. Spectacular!

MOTOR CITY WAVE

[HearDis! 348]

Detroit synth music at it’s best! It seems rather reasonable, that the type of music that made the soundtrack of the movie “Drive” so successful was also done rather properly in that very motor city in Michigan. Android Automatic is a Detroit-based synth music act and one can’t help but to phantasize about burning some rubber in a Chevrolet whilst listening to his productions. So, unsurprisingly, the song that we’re presenting right here is also named after a car model. So adjust your seat and start your journey!

HOUSE MUSIC WITH A PUNK SPIRIT

[HearDis! 341]

Alessandro Russo aka SLOK is an Italian house music enthusiast based in Paris. After having released some great tracks on numerous labels he now chooses to return to the underground approach of the music business by releasing on his own imprint Electronic Petz. And his first EP on there is quite the charmer! This puppy was conceived, composed, mixed and mastered by the man himself and you can feel the love and dedication in every bassdrum. Make sure to check out the magnificient “The Underground” right here and if you’re in Paris, try to stop by at one of his club nights. We sure would!
