Elektrovolt

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…

Neugeborene Nachtmusik live at Radio Resistencia

This Thursday the 22nd of September there is a new Radio Resistencia recording session at Kapitaal in Utrecht (NL)… this time straight from Berlin we have Neugeborene Nachtmusik performing live…

Followers of Enfant Terrible activities will know Neugeborene Nachtmusik of course… he became part of the family with his project Milligram Retreat and continued under his new alias ever since…

Music wise Neugeborene Nachtmusik is hard to define… his music features elements of elektro, (post) industrial, techno, krautrock and ambient … but all in te mix makes up for a sound of its own… most of the time sounding rather dark and (spi)ritual…

The sessions start at 20.00 hour and ends at 23.00 hour and features me  and dj Alacidus playing some tunes before and after the live set by Neugeborene Nachtmusik… entrance is free and beers are cheap…

Here is one the tracks from the album…

Out now: Roberto Auser, Utroid and Monocorpse

It took some time… more time as expected… but this seems to be the normal way to go these days… Anyway… out now are the three awaited records by Roberto Auser, Utroid and Monocorpse…

Roberto Auser serves minimal electronics/elektro as it should sound… raw and analogue… Utroid spoils us with new beat and early techno influenced acid… and last but not least Monocorpse delivers some dark and ritual electronic music… you can find the second video from the Monocorpse EP here below…

All three records come in screen printed sleeves which are handprinted by me and Roberto Auser at Kapitaal in Utrecht.

You can order the records at the ET webshop or get them shortly from the usual suspects around the globe…

Utroid live at Radio Resistencia (21-07-2016)

Utroid will perform live at Radio Resistencia at Kapitaal in Utrecht (NL) this thursday (21-07-2016)… the Dutch (Utrecht based) elektro/techno producer will present his upcoming EP on Gooiland Elektro… expect dark beats and acidic sounds to celebrate summer… dj M. and dj Alacidus will finish the job with tunes before and after the live performance…

We start at 20.00 hour and quit at 23.00 hour… entrance is for free and drinks are served cold at the bar…

Here are two Utroid tracks from the upcoming record to get in the mood…

Roberto Auser live set for Radio Resistencia

During the last Radio Resistencia episode Roberto Auser performed live… and live means live… so all hardware and no laptops…

Also this live set was improvised with sounds related to the upcoming EP “Faceless Future” on Enfant Terrible… but no track performed live was one on one from this EP… Poured out over the listeners was pure analogue minimal electronics… just like the record is going to be…

Below is the live set… enjoy!

Roberto Auser – Faceless Future EP

Somewhere early January Roberto Auser and I went by car to Rotterdam…during the way back he played me some demo’s he had been working on… afterwards he sent me all the tracks to listen to again… from my initial idea of doing a 7″ release it went to three 7″s to a 12″ EP… and the last one is now at the pressing plant…

This EP is entitled “Faceless Future” and contains 6 tracks with pure analogue old school minimal electronics… from rhythm based elektro tracks for the dancefloor to more experimental soundscapes…

The record pays tribute to pioneers of industrial music and early experimental elektro such as early Cabaret Voltaire and Front 242 but also to the more modern new wave of minimal electronics as re-invented by Le Syndicat Electronique…

“Faceless Future” is expected before summer and comes in a silk screened sleeve… of course printed by myself and Roberto Auser himself at Kapitaal in Utrecht… you can pre-order it here…

To kill the time until the release I uploaded a video of one track and a full track preview of another one… both are here below… enjoy!
