Post Global Recordings has been active in the Macedonian electronic/experimental music scene for a number of years. They’ve been releasing works onto Bandcamp, and this release by producer Martin Georgievski (a.k.a. Amplidyne Effect) is the label’s most recent. Icy post-rock mixed with airy electronic tones which keep one engaged in the way one listens to modern contemporary classical music.
Electronica
[Music] Fred Lorca – Sonic Gringo
Imagine if DAF discovered cumbias in the 1980s with lo-fi equipment, but made up for it with a high, hazy, nearly psychedelic level of energy? Friends, I give you Fred Lorca, a composer originally from Argentina who had been residing in Spain for some years, and is, perhaps, once again residing in the Southern Cone.
This album isn’t imbued with kitschiness like, say, Señor Coconut. Think Yello, as this has a driving, danceable rhythm while maintaining its focus. That doesn’t mean it’s all serious, as there are small, cheeky interludes, and a feeling of a gang-land soundtrack in these rhythms.
[Music] Novogradska – Коњаници
Truly one of the best artists working in Macedonia, Novogradska has a decade’s worth of amazing work in electronic music, indie and soundtrack work for the legendary film director Milcho Manchevksi.
[Music] Mark O’Leary – Isafjordur
Mark O’Leary has a new album on TiB Productions, and this track makes for perfect cold-day listening.
[Music] The Diplomatic Core – Monsieur Claude 2012-2015
My friend Christopher (a.k.a. The Diplomatic Core) is a tunesmith par excellence. He’s constantly reworking material, forging some very groovy beats in the process. Follow his work on Soundcloud here.
[Music] Flint Glass – Teotihuacan
Flint Glass are a Parisian band specializing in innovative electronic music. Too bad they don’t have more samples available, as this one is quite impressive.
[Music] Lonsai Maïkov – Paraklesis
It’s appropriate to celebrate the feast day of St Spyridon, the patron saint of my local church, with some Orthodox apocalyptic music, courtesy of Lonsai Maïkov out of France.
[Music] Coil – Careful What you Wish For
Coil rose from the ashes of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV. Though core members Peter Christopherson and John Balance have left this world, they left an incredible body of work to enjoy, and they will influence a new generation of post-Industrial Music artists.
A special thanks to my friend Christine Tesla Coil for posting this.
[Music] Ólafur Arnalds feat. Arnór Dan – For Now I Am Winter
Arnór Dan, singer of Agent Fresco, is a new name for me, but Ólafur Arnalds has a long and sumptuous track record of producing gorgeous music.
[Music] Bosques De Mi Mente – Jardin De Estatuas
Something tranquil, bordering on New Age and ethereal music, from Spain’s Bosques De Mi Mente.
