Early on Extrawelt’s productions quickly caught the ear of James Holden, who signed their first track to his own Border Community Label. James gave the track a working title “soopertrack” which stuck, and soon became a manifesto for their music, producing and releasing dance floor bomb after bomb, through labels including the Iconic Cocoon label, Traum, Great Stuff and Giant Wheel.)

( ;D --> Martial Canterel is definitely one of the most talented artist in electronic underground music of our time. Each and every single song of him is just gripping. The music stands in the tradition of the past, but is characterized by a super-intense signature sound which is full of melancholy. The mysterious lyrics and the brilliant voice that seems to be absent and emotional at the same time add to the sinister mood of the tracks.
If you are only a little bit into Minimal Wave or Synthpop, you can't ignore Martial Canterel. And if you don't, this could be your entrance ticket into this musical territory!.

( ;D --> Thomas Knak, 7 February 1973, Glostrup, Copenhagen, Denmark. Juxtaposing skittering micro-beats and minor melodies, Opiate creates beautiful music. On his 1999 debut Objects For An Ideal Home, he echoed Brian Eno’s original conception of ambient as simply ‘environmental music’, to create an album specifically devised and intended for home listening although the musician says that the ‘home’ isn’t necessarily ‘your three bedroom flat’ but can be ‘your body, your brain, your mental space or anywhere you choose to feel at home’. Opiate does not use keyboards or drum machines and says that eighty percent of his sounds are ‘from daily life objects - such as scissors - through a microphone’. Knak processes these ‘samples from other sources’ through his Macintosh computer. Although intricately produced, with an acute attention to detail, Knak has dubbed his recordings ‘spatial music’. That is, he deliberately eschews excessive layers, melody lines and effects, instead leaving space for the listener. The Copenhagen-based musician fulfils this aim with grace and beauty, making music with a beguiling charm and a peculiar clarity.)

Formed in 2012, Using all hardware to perform, Youth Code have already proven their path with being the first band outside of Psychic TV to be put out by PTV's own label " Angry Love Productions " as well as a full length LP on the flawless Dais Records roster.)
An Overture

( ;D --> Youth Code’s latest release, A Place To Stand, is an expression of rage that could only come from Los Angeles. Perfectly capturing the frustration and claustrophobia of the early 80s LA hardcore scene but re-appropriating that aggression and melding it to the strict, pounding electronics of classic industrial. Recorded by Josh Eustis (Nine Inch Nails, Telefon Tel Aviv, Sons of Magdalene), Side A of A Place to Stand features four new Youth Code tracks that showcase the band exploring an evolved sense of melodic synth work and more varied tempos than anything they have released to date.)

( ;D --> Forged across borders between Asher Levitas of acclaimed shadowy London outfit Old Apparatus, and Norwegian avant garde musician/vocalist Linn Carin Dirdal. Taking cues from classic pop production of the 70s and 80s, the early 4AD sound of The Cocteau Twins et al, pastoral folk, along with contemporaries such as The Knife, Saa make gloriously intricate avant-pop, as exciting as it is unclassifiable. Levitas' high production values will come as no surprise to fans of the aforementioned Old Apparatus, and here his complex rhythm arrangements and delicate electronics perfectly support Dirdal's layered vocals, which range from upfront and powerful to moments of choral beauty.)
Walking waters

( ;D --> Walking Waters is the follow-up to Saa's critically acclaimed debut EP. The English/ Norwegian duo present an upbeat melancholic concoction of love, lust, loss and liberation. Moving on from Asher Levitas' (Old Apparatus/Penny) and Linn Carin Dirdal's debut on Left Blank in 2013, the four tracks of Walking Waters playfully whisk and rip apart 90's R&B, Jungle and Trip Hop. Think overcast Sade or Camus' cigarette smoke drifting through Tracey Thorn's home. Levitas' moody and intricate productions and Dirdal's vocal deftness once again combine to delicious effect. The EP was mixed and co-produced by Grammy Award Winning Engineer Ian Dowling.)

Producing his first sounds with Fast Tracker at the age of 16, then developing his talent with Fruity Loops and later on using Ableton Live.
Spinning the wheels has been a passion for a long time now, starting with trance & techno, followed by a darker period with hardcore and breakcore, which resulted in his darker melancholic style as you already have heard.)
Mindfulness (October the 6th)

( ;D --> ‘Mindfulness’, the new album from Max Cue, is well-named. Watchful and attentive are characteristics high on the agenda of Antwerp’s Andy Verschaeren, letting loose a set of deep house and techno whose perpetual breeze and clear-mindedness is sourced from uncluttered, neatly layered and direct production.)

Martial Canterel

( ;D --> Martial Canterel is definitely one of the most talented artist in electronic underground music of our time. Each and every single song of him is just gripping. The music stands in the tradition of the past, but is characterized by a super-intense signature sound which is full of melancholy. The mysterious lyrics and the brilliant voice that seems to be absent and emotional at the same time add to the sinister mood of the tracks.
If you are only a little bit into Minimal Wave or Synthpop, you can't ignore Martial Canterel. And if you don't, this could be your entrance ticket into this musical territory!.

Thievery
soundcloud.com/arca1000000/arca-thievery
( ;D --> "Breakbeat" is one of those words that often comes prepackaged with a specific adjective: dusty. Whether we're talking about the excavated grooves of early hip hop or the beat science of drum & bass, breakbeats have usually been sourced from vinyl—old funk recordings—and fed through early, bit-gnashing samplers, and so they come with the attendant qualities of grimey old things. The breakbeat that anchors "Thievery", the first track to emerge from Venezuelan producer Arca's anticipated album Xen, is not dusty. It is slow, heavy chrome, the kind of breakbeat Michael Bay might erect if he needed a backbone for quivering synth knots and alien half-utterances. And that's what's striking about "Thievery": the contrast between its radical sonics and its widescreen ambition. Like an air show, there are uncomfortable bursts of noise, sharp nose-dives, and plenty of space-age technology deployed in the service of generating oohs and aahs. When Arca finishes untangling those glassy synthesizer whorls, the song is carried out by a simple, staccato piano melody. It's a tease of simplicity after minutes of chaos, a nice reminder that Arca's just arranging tones and melodies like everyone else, something that "Thievery"'s explosions can make you forget.)

( ;D --> L’âme Immortelle (French: the immortal soul) is an Austrian band that produces darkwave, and more recently also industrial metal. Many of L’âme Immortelle’s songs feature melancholy or lovelorn lyrics in German or English, and juxtaposed harsh male and emotional female vocals.

L’âme Immortelle was formed in 1996 in Vienna, Austria by friends Thomas Rainer (Nachtmahr) and Hannes Medwenitsch.)

( ;D --> Vladislav Delay, Uusitalo, Luomo, Conoco, Sistol. Under a raft of different names this Finnish artist (Sasu Ripatti *1976) has experimented with ambient, broken beat, glitch as well as grooves and house music with soulful vocals. In addition he has collaborated with and worked for a wide range of artists ranging from Scissor Sisters and Craig Armstrong to AGF, Black Dice, Massive Attack, Towa Tei and Ryuichi Sakamoto. While his side-projects and remixes are there to flirt with more stable rhythms and dancefloor institutions, his main love as well as his background is in experimenting with different kind of sounds and rhythms; a quest to find some music not heard yet. The soundtrack of Vladislav Delay. His forte is the rhythm, even if so subtle at times. In fact, he may as well be classified as a “percussionist” (actually he is originally a drummer) rather than an electronic musician despite the fact that that is how he mostly generates his sound and music, because it is the beat and its possibilities which lie closest to his heart, which further serves to explain why he has experimented with it from so many different musical angles.)

( ;D --> Alex Banks’ musical mission is going into overdrive. After building a hefty reputation via killer DJs sets across Europe and a few extraordinary remixes (Bonobo, Husky Rescue, Andreya Triana etc), he’s now signed to Monkeytown, the label owned by doyens of German electronic/club music, Modeselektor. His talents are showcased on the album, ‘Illuminate’. Two years in the making, it’s the culmination of Banks’ initial aspirations, at once rich in production artistry but ready for the dancefloor, seasoned with melodies and the leaping vocals of Gazelle Twin’s Elizabeth Bernholz, yet boasting a sonic heft and ambition on a par with the likes of Jon Hopkins, Daniel Avery and Nicolas Jaar.)

Gilles Rossire shows that research doesn't always mean icy hermetism and achieves a terrific fusion between ambient and electro.  His approach can be explained by the diversity of his influences: essential first albums of Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Brian Eno, LFO, Pan sonic, FSOL, Autechre, Dead Can Dance, the 80s electro pop scene (OMD, Freur, Fad Gadget, Ultravox, Depeche Mode...) and electronic heirs (IAMX, Goldfrapp, Ladytron,..).
