Berlin-based imprint Thisbe Recordings line up a 6-track various artist compilation entitled ‘The Blue Hour‘ assembling a steady line up of producers, each delivering shadowy, machine-driven frequencies steeped in dark disco aesthetics and slow-burning grooves.
Highlights include TAU’s affiliate Dominik Marz, Berlin’s multi-instrumentalist and producer World Wild Web, Agle, Radial Gaze, Philip Lawns, and Krasnodar-based producer Volta Cab. This collection taps into a twilight zone of sound, where mind-warping rhythms and brooding atmospheres reign supreme.
Our pick is ‘Extase‘ by WWW (World Wild Web). Mastered by Cem Oral at Jammin Masters, the track surges like a sonic tempest, fusing puzzling EBM frequencies with driving post-punk rhythms. It feels like an interplanetary communion ignited by a cyber-fuelled euphoria of Arabesque synths and French dubbed-out poetry.
‘The Blue Hour’ is scheduled for release on 27th September via Thisbe Recordings. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
