Elektrovolt is a Dutch electronic project by Jimi Hellinga who is also part of the Trapper Drone Orchestra. Not a lot of music is getting released… which is strange considering the quality of his work…
As the name suggests it is mostly elektro which you get served… but the new digital album “Dune Magnetic” has quite a lot of variation when it comes to sounds and moods… from classic elektro beats to spacey and trippy krautrock inspired tracks… and the combination of the two… which works very well for me…
Still I like the ambient / soundscape tracks the best… ‘Seqvens A’ for example… a playful and laid-back ambient track… and ‘Duin-Magnetisch Experiment’… which is reminiscent of Klaus Schulze… perfect to trip away on…
Here is promotional video featuring images of Elektrovolt live on stage with knob handling and all that… and you can get the digital release here…
