Flavor of the Week #5

Cubic 

www.facebook.com/cubicpromo

( ;D --> CUBIC’s sonic identity is often characterized by a good mix of pumping 808 kicks, melodic soundscapes and Düsseldorf percussion all spiced up with hypnotic synths and mind blowing reverb. But the album also reveals other genre explorations like on the track “E”, a pure club hit evoking 90’s trance with a cutting edge à la KÖLSH, the more breakbeat oriented cut “T” and its ORBITAL-like addictive vocal melodic lines, the dark techno pearl “S” and its lush rolling bass lines reinforcing its overall somber atmosphere or yet “G” and its rough and hammering techno body assault evoking GESAFFELSTEIN and other TERENCE FIXMER.)

Zanias 

https://zanias.bandcamp.com/ 

www.facebook.com/zoe.zanias/ 

( ;D --> Previously known as the voice of the bands Linea Aspera (with Ryan Ambridge) and Keluar (with Sid Lamar of Schwefelgelb), Zanias is a solo performer, DJ and producer, co-founder of Berlin's Fleisch collective and now runs the label of the same name. From a state of psychedelic-induced ego death, through painful revelations and onward into a realm of new desires, these four very personal tracks are the direct result of the artist's own therapeutic process of self-exploration and expression undertaken during a tumultuous year of change. Utilising decidedly minimal instrumentation as the backdrop to the emotional weight of the voice and words, each song represents an individual step within an exhausting but ultimately affirmative transformation.)
