Meshing well with Downie's vision of heavily hybridized post-techno and obscurantist thematics.)

Solitary Experiments 

www.solitaryexperiments.de 

( ;D --> The Berlin-based trio Solitary Experiments has long since understood the fact that good electronic music will require more than bringing together some synthesizer presets with some cuddly beats. With much emphasis on good song writing, catchy melodies and multi-faceted arrangements as on club-compatible beats and solid bass. The anthemic Electro-tracks keep the delicate balance between catchiness and a thorough dose of power that keeps them from ever drifting into Pop-muzak realms.)

Her first ventures into her own productions were a strong mix of distorted electronics, a far cry from her classical background. With the studio foundations in place she started producing a multitude of related genres like drum n bass, ambient and electronic music. Inspired by the dark ambient people in her life she surrounded herself with she slowly drifted into the scene and started turning her productions towards the depths.

Koan 

https://www.facebook.com/koanmsk 

https://soundcloud.com/koanofficial 

( ;D --> Producing sophisticated psychedelic Chill Out music is a discipline within the electronic music scene that is similar to playing Jazz in a certain respect: It needs maturity and extensive musical experience to go beyond the scope of standards, to become really good and extraordinary. This might have to do with the fact that this kind of music is not aiming a busy dance floor, rising its hands and shouting out loud during the breaks. Instead of that, it is made for the individual mind and therefore includes a less functional but pretty intellectual, mature and also very artistic moment. Seen in front of this background, the history of Koan gives some interesting hints about the astonishing musical quality of this Russian duo.)

Gore Gloss

https://soundcloud.com/gaurasange 

( ;D --> Gore Gloss is the musical project of singer/producer Geoff Scott, who hails from Toronto. He doesn’t have an active social media presence (no Facebook), so it’s difficult to find information about him. A press sheet I found online says “Gore Gloss is the tension between innocence and perversion, it’s the smell of sweat and the taste of bad wine.” Geoff has a deep crooner’s voice and a soothing delivery that would serve him well as a lounge singer. Yet he blends it with dynamic electronics and thumping drum patterns for a truly unique vibe. At times, I want to compare his sound and look to TR/ST’s Robert Alfons, though Geoff’s lyrics are far more intelligible.)
