Flavor of the Week #6

Mondkopf
soundcloud.com/mondkopf
www.myspace.com/mondkopfonthemoon
( ;D --> Mondkopf is a French artist with a German name, which is fitting, given how often his productions play in a middle ground between those two countries' archetypal modes of electronic music. Looked at a certain way, Rising Doom, the 24-year old's latest full-length and first for Fool House, the label imprint of French fashion/mp3 blog Fluokids, borrows the machine muscle of harsh Teutonic techno and leavens it with just a bit of the joviality and melody of French touch.)
Hades

www.junodownload.com/plus/2014/02/05/stream-the-new-mondkopf-lp-in-full/
( ;D --> Parisian Paul Régimbeau aka Monkopf returns with another atmospheric LP on his In Paradisum imprint. Hades continues his transition from relatively floor-friendly tech to a much darker, doom-inspired sound. Much of the music here is built around slow, sludgy black-metal riffs and embellished with gothic-inspired touches like organ, choir and trumpet. ‘Here Come The Whispers’ even offers a moment of outright beauty halfway through, when bleak chants fade into melodic strings. For those who fancy bloody, booming Blackest Ever Black-style tracks, there’s bruiser ‘Eternal Dust’, and the club ready one-two of ‘Cause & Cure’ and ‘Immolate’.)

Omberman Knocks
www.obermanknocks.com/
www.aperturerecords.com/artists/oberman-knocks
( ;D --> Oberman Knocks is London-based, electronic producer Nigel Truswell. With no interest in tech-talk, the latest plug-ins or trends, his tracks are all about the creation and manipulation of sounds for the pure pleasure of the production itself. Spurning sterile accuracy and clinically happy tunes for sounds that bring back some of the dirt and darkness that has been swept away of late, these are tracks happy to inhabit the dark corridors of the mind through to large expanses of concrete space waiting to be filled.

The artist brings out refined Downtempo grooves infused with layers ethereal atmospheres and electronic instrumentations to create his ode to the living pearl we have come to call home.)
