Photo via JJJJOUND! Session Victim are set to release their debut album 'The Haunted House Of House' on Delusions of Grandeur next week. They've actually already released it in three split 12"s over the past few months but are now releasing the whole as a triple 12" combo. Not going to waste more words on it other than saying it is really good. For proof: check the track below, the video for 'Dark Sienna' (the opening track on the album) and a stream of the album on Resident Advisor [...]

The Haunted House of House (part one) from Session Victim is a great record. Session Victim - The Haunted House ( buy ) Session Victim - Flying Visit ( buy )

Part Three: Memory and Engagement – Vatican Shadow and The Caretaker Indeterminacy and uncertainty is central to the work of current electronica artist Vatican Shadow, who provides a kind of Al-Jazeera-esque wonky commentary on contemporary world events, conjured from minor key strings, muted industrial beats and suffocating reverbs. This sense of creeping drama is a very close relative of 70s and 80s 'scientific' library output, fixated with a sense of dread in the face of the progress of technology and its dehumanizing influence on modern life. The pieces flex and bend under the tension of [...]

Part Two: The Unresolved and the Temporary The leftfield zeitgeist, so often the location for the emergence of new genres, innovation and technical progression, is fixated on the skewed, the fractured and the temporary, consuming and regurgitating its production history, while the disco/hip hop/house template on which it was built has gone on, in the hands of mainstream producers, to become just another set of possible moves in the international language of chart hits. Experimental electronica and its gadget born DNA has thus gone internal, speaking of the [...]
The debut LP from Session Victim books in a long awaited May release...

As the clubbing associations recede with time, the trend in electronica is towards a more self-reflective and inward space, sited in the home listening environment – a trend which first became articulated with terms such as 'trip hop' and 'IDM', coined to help mark out a space for a more sedentary appreciation of a music removed from the dancing and socializing going on around us. Much current experimental electronica continues to grapple with the possibilities of finding an appropriate post club context, while building temporary narratives reflective of an uncertain future, where [...]

Foto | Felicia Simion Jeg har før blogget om franske Unison , men det var gået hen over hovedet på mig, at deres LP var udkommet. Der er stadig tale om dystert, hardcore shoegaze. Her er to højdepunkter fra pladen: Unison — Lost Generation Unison — Brothers & Sisters by fanaticpro Unison | iTunes Unison | Homepage Unison | Facebook [...]

We thought we'd never see a kookier homage to LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" than the, err, "North Korean remix" featuring found footage of Kim Jong-II's military parades edited together to look like choreography. We were very wrong. Someone with entirely too much time on their hands has put together a Halloween-themed light show on their house that is both jaw-droppingly elaborate and really, really awesome. A number of things come to mind when watching this video — first and foremost, that we'd hate to be these people's neighbors. Watch it below. [...]

Unison , som jeg før har blogget om , har ommøbleret Telepathe's nummer Destroyer til en lille haunted house perle. Lyt/download: TELEPATHE — Destroyer Haunted By UNISON by WEAREUNISON Unison | Homepage Unison | Facebook Unison | Soundcloud

Mens vi venter på nyt originalt materiale fra Holy Other , kan vi nyde disse nye remixes fra hans hånd, der stadig indeholder Holy Other's dystre men samtidig tindrende smukke signaturlyd. Lys møder mørke i en anden verden. Denne gang er det kunstnerne How To Dress Well og Walls , der er kommet under kærlig behandling. How To Dress Well — Suicide Dream 2 (Holy Other's Effervescent Mix) by HOLY OTHER Walls — Sunporch (Holy Other Remix) by [...]
Chazwick Bundick (a.k.a Toro y Moi ) brought out the big guns with his new video for "How I Know" and enlisted the help of director Jordan Kim, the same man who brought us that hilariously odd video for Teams vs. Star Slinger's "Close To Me." The video finds a couple of familiar faces venturing into an old haunted house, only to find that it's inhabitants aren't too Casper-friendly. Don't worry though - it all ends with a dance number. Underneath The Pine is out now on [...]

Holy Other er ude med sin første officielle EP med titlen With U , som varmt kan anbefales. Tjek evt. tidligere indlæg for at blive klog på Holy Others magiske lydunivers. Singlen Touch fra EP'en er nu blevet remixet af bl.a. Supreme Cuts. Et virkelig fedt remix, der tager Holy Others original i spændende nye retninger uden at fucke det up til ukendelighed. Lyt/download her: Holy Other– Touch (Supreme Cuts Mix) by Supreme Cuts [...]

Haunted Houses — Keepmeshutup The latest drop from Lee Noble 's always golden No Kings label comes courtesy of Haunted Houses (Ryan Lopilato), who's previously graced Bathetic with his brand of eerie, tape-damaged folk. On The Heaven of the Soul & the Heaven of the Moon , Lopilato tackles heady topics such as the "inner realms" of consciousness and how "the power of the beyond is within ourselves". "Keepmeshutup" might not answer any [...]

Unison er en duo fra Frankrig, der laver musik, de selv kalder death gaze! Andre genrekyndige ville nok kategorisere deres musik som witch house eller haunted house. Det lyder ondt og mørkt, og det er det til dels også. Der er nemlig samtidig noget smukt og melankolsk over Unisons musik. Musikken er badet i en tung, støjende synth, elektro beats og en svævende, spøgelseslignende, men samtidig engleagtig vokal. Den lette flyder nærmest oven på et hav af lydinferno, og denne kontrast kan jeg lide. Jeg er især begejstret for Blood Blood Bloo d, der [...]

Denne gang er Goodie Bag'en fuld af elektronisk sprødhed og skønhed. De 4 numre har en simpelhed over sig, jeg godt kan lide. Nogle gange holder ordsproget "Less is more" 100%. Numrene skaber den samme fornemmelse af stilhed og stilstand — en fornemmelse af vakum. Tempoet er skruet ned til chill mode, så sæt — eller læg dig godt til rette og tag for dig af retterne. Survive — Omniverse (Right click to download) Survive — Omniverse [...]

2010 var året hvor genren witch house, også kendt som haunted house, fik en del opmærksomhed rundt omkring på nettet. Holy Other , en englænder bosat i Berlin, er nyeste skud på stammen inden for denne mørke og dystre genre, der også tit besidder en sær form for skønhed. Følgende stikord kunne passe på Holy Others lydmæssige univers: Skyggefuldt, sørgmodigt, kælderdyb bas, mystisk, gotisk, sort magi, drone og vokal samples. Hvordan lyder det så? Først skal du lytte til et par af hans originale produktioner. Holy [...]

Ahh, Halloween. A perenial favorite holiday for all the pagen atheist devil worshippers out there. Although we do not experience the eerie fall weather in Southern California, people get really into Halloween down here. I found myself at a theme park 2 nights ago being chased around for hours by all sorts of demon nerds and dungeonmasters fresh from Comicon. Good times. Our associate Safety Scissors posted The Jacking Zone by Risque Rythum Team a few years back. It's a quintessential "Haunted House" cut flanked by a killer 808 cowbell and a spooky analog synthline. I [...]
