Franck is surrounded discovering the house music in 1986, five years later he spent his first payment in the purchase of a synth. At that time he started to buy hardware equipment. His music is based in purely analogical gear giving him a special warm feature in sound and concept. Franck´s live approach different schemes in production, composition and performing plus the support of visual media interaction passing through several stages of sound experimentation to dynamic and advanced works in synthesis and FX process dimension. The passion for the vintage, the robotic, the sic fi and lot of concepts in futurism, shows that Franck Kartell is making an important contribution to the current serious electronics taking elements from the past years.)
Coincidences (limited double vinyl & poster) bassagendarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/coincidences-limited-double-vinyl-poster
( ;D --> Franck Kartell's third full length release on Bass Agenda Recordings sees him continuing to do what he has done since he began this creative trajectory of making concept driven albums; pushing himself, his art and your experience as a listener, into new realms. As with his last album La jette d'Orly, this next chapter in Kartell's adventures in creativity is inspired and influenced by the cinematic works and writing of Chris Marker.)

Term Fix

( ;D --> In a sea of Industrial and EBM revivalists, it has become increasingly more difficult to wade through the masses and find something that is able to channel the original sound and spirit, while still keeping the music fresh and interesting. Thankfully, we have The Suregon's Dog by Australia's Term Fix. All analog production by System Body and nihilist, sinister vocals by Term Fix, creates one of the best Industrial releases I've heard so far this year.)

Blind Delon
www.facebook.com/blinddelon/
( ;D -->  Founded in 2016 by Mathis Kolkoz, Blind Delon made it's first release on the spanish record label Oràculo Records with the " Edouard " Ep, containing 3 original tracks plus a remix from Drvg Cvltvre ( Viewlexx, New York Haunted ). Shortly after this release, Léo Farronato ( Memento Maurice ) started to take part in this project, and today Blind Delon is working as a duet, with big influences from 80's Post-Punk/Cold Wave to the french Techno scene and the german Neue Deutsche Welle. Synth-Pop might be the best word to qualify their music, as their music is a sort of breed between outrageous Pop and cold basslines. Building a bridge between Pop and Rave music, Blind Delon is making a conventionnal yet romantic Post-Punk sound and join now Unknown Pleasures Records roster.)

( ;D --> protoU, Sasha is a trained violinist and choir vocalist who grew up with an addiction to music. 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. She has described dark ambient as something that gives her a freedom of thought in relation to the complexity of the world of wonders, a mix between the simple and the difficult.)
Khmaoch
cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/khmaoch
( ;D --> Sasha returns with her second solo album on Cryo Chamber. Crafted in the Kiev high rise and the Black Room Studio. Exploring eastern esoteric traditions this will take you on a voyage through old civilization. The crackling sound of incense fills ancient ruins. A solitary flute by Ivan Ioanov leads you through dim lit passageways underneath. Deep drone summons forgotten spirits as lush noise of mother earth calms the soul. The contrast of dark and light on this album serves an enlightening experience.)
