Greek DIY label DYSTATIK (@dystatik), run by Athenian DJ/producer dry_feel (@dry_feel), is very happy to have in Dystatik's family the Producer/Live act from Warsaw, Poland, Wydma (@wydmiarz) with his new EP called "Wieszaj Siekierę".

Six installments of fear and frustration, recorded in his dungeon studio. Muddy, raw sounds reflect his visions of the forthcoming uncertainty, which is difficult to look away from.

Together with his friend, he co-creates a series of audiovisual events named "Salto Mortale" (@salto___mortale), focusing on Dark Electronic music. In his music, he explores different genres ranging from Industrial to Dungeon Synth, trying to capture the essence of raw, dark and experimental sounds.

WL//WH is pleased to premiere the second slice, "Busted", injected with dark strobing Cabaret Voltaire-tinged vibes of electro-punk industrialism, triggering a murky pounding combination of hypnotic drum kicks and slicing beats, by ceaselessly penetrated by erratic, rolling, and prominent bassline eruptions, to drive a rambunctious and restless ride, encircled by oppressive droning synth alarms and twisted vocal repetitions, into a hypnotic swirling dancing catharsis of danger, paranoia, and high-energy late-night dancing bliss.

The hyper-dynamic and eclectic Berlin-based DIY artist Alexander Leonard Donat, still fresh from the successful and edgier venture with the Assassun's sophomore LP, "Chronic Quicksand Depression Morning", is already busy working on the new albums from two, among the most appreciated, of his several projects, the upbeat and child-like DreamPunk by Fir Cone Children as well as the murkier and claustrophobic Darkgaze by Vlimmer (@blackjackilluminist).

From the latter, WL//WH is pleased to premiere Vlimmer's second single “Fatalideal”, the follow-up to last January's “Platzwort”, off the forthcoming, yet untitled, third studio album, due out this Fall via his own Blackjack Illuminist Records.

Artist: SVEZIA INFERNO (@sveziainferno)

Title: "Morbido Morte"

Label: La Società del Malessere

WL//WH is pleased to premiere the new distorted and caustic leftfield Proto-Techno jam, titled "Morbido Morte" by the  Swedish, relocated to the North West of Italy via Bordeaux, eclectic off-kilter electronic musician-producer Johan Gustafsson (from synth-punk act Black Bug), AKA Svezia Inferno, a foretaste from a forthcoming EP via his own label La Società del Malessere.

A gritty, oppressive and decadent slow-spinning seething combination of coarse skewed Techno and blistering dusky Industrial atmospherics, drenched in modern dystopic distress.

The enigmatic artist drives his machines into a bitterly corrosive, Industrial-dusted, mind-bending agony of "Soft Death / Morbido Morte", to buzz and screech, replete with a frenzied, stark and claustrophobic edge, through a harshly vibrating and dangerously pulsing misty tunnel, exhausted by menacing bursts of crushing, jerky bass lines, taut kicks, and punchy snares, instilling a granular urban mechanical underworld, where a sudden shifting warmly swelling low-end tone, along with urgent hypnotic rhythms, unearth obsessive swarms of angsty stacking hollow knocks, distorted whistles, and serpentine shakes from a forbidden subconscious realm of stabbing paranoia and dread.

WL//WH is pleased to premiere "Cristal", driven by a tantalizing squelchy and bubbling acid-flecked TB303 bassline, taken from the forthcoming V/A "Spazio Invasore Vol. 1" compilation" via Moscow's new label Spazio, from Kikok, the electronic music project of Pavel Fedoseev, ex-drummer of the 'stargaze' band Gnoomes, with already three full-length LPs under his belt and an incoming new colorful EP, whose surreal synth-laden sound is a trippy and wonky concoction of woozy Ambient, leftfield House, Italo beats and proto-Techno.

A series of cassette variations in the turmoil of the days is opened by a collective improvement of high-class Russian craftsmen — VA Spazio Invasore Vol. 1.

The tape custom is fully equipped with collective images in the spirit of its time. Two sides come together: day and night, light and twilight. The rhythmic in-depth intro sets the pace with a touch of space disco, which is periodically warmed up by retrospective Indian chants.

A more dense continuation falls into the rut of modernity with airy synthesizer additives. As soon as the first side crosses the equator, acid projections mixed with Italian classics and a little whimsical freshness of new disco immediately begin to sound with bright inclusions.

The clever alternate combination of the same elements with the addition of high-energy switches to the B side, demonstrates a bold modern look at production. Next, a color of intensity appears with a hint of Depeche Mode and Sovietwave, giving way to trance non-trivial indie dance, and then again going into the mysterious haze of acidity.

It's time for everyone to get their hands on a copy — the collection is already on the shelves!
