Hell-o all and it’s not very often that you will see us posting about mau5trap releases on this blog so in case you’re wondering whether we’re might be going “soft” we ensure you that isn’t the case but on the contrary it’s the specific release that features a couple of tracks by two artists you most likely know and love as much as we do that really caught our attention. The majority of the tracks on “We Are Friends” Vol.03 might not be down our alley to be honest but but we couldn’t ignore these two bright (or actually dark if we want to be more precise) exceptions by any means. One of them comes by an artist who has been a member of the mau5trap roster for a few months and is no other than Proxy, who has contributed with a heavy trasher titled “Oldboy” on the release and let us tell you, this is Proxy at his best (or very close at least). The second track we have picked from “We Are Friends” Vol.03 comes by Frenchman Neus, who too joins mau5trap and his new track is really something of a special treat. “Amanita” is the title of Neus‘s new track who’s going for some atmospheric and relaxed guitar driven Electronica. Quite a soundtrack feel to it and definitely great intro music for anything you do, even more to open today’s blogging session with. Here are both tracks so check them out! Continue reading »
Going on with another new release and new track that brings back on Metalectro the Swedish dark lord of Electronic music, the one and only Owl Vision! Super productive and inspired as always (or for the last 4-5 years at least) Owl Vision returns with a new single, titled “Maggots”, released on his own imprint Comorbid Records and you all know what that means. Dark enough Electro to send chills down your spine and the kind of music that will give you goose bumps and an ear infection. So prepare for the shivers and let the “maggots” in, or just turn the volume up, hit play and enjoy Owl Vision‘s new track. We most definitely did! “Maggots” is available to purchase or download for free by the way, so pick your poison and enjoy! Continue reading »

Staying on the dark path we took with today’s opening post and here’s Beatbender‘s official video for “Elevate”, from their upcoming debut album, out February 23 on Jet Set Trash. The video, which was filmed and directed by Hugo Magalhães of H-M photography, focuses on beautifully dark and atmospheric imagery which suits the mood of the track perfectly well. Besides it’s not unusual for a music video not to follow a story or narrative, something that works pretty well in “Elevate” and doesn’t make it a less enjoyable experience by any means but on the contrary it compliments the track. As for the track itself, it’s a nice, fresh and dark track which falls more under general Electronica rather than any EDM-esque Electro House sound, as is the whole “Elevate” LP too. If you want to get a more in depth taste you can check the LP minimix here or simply stay tuned for a more extended album review soon. Continue reading »

Hell-o and a happy bloody Friday the 13th to all! As some of you or at least those who follow us on Facebook might already know, we had a Free Metalectro exclusive EP by Lux Cathedra planned for today and if anything we like to keep our promises so here it is! Lux Cathedra is a French artist who likes experimenting with the hard, heavy, dark trashy Electro sounds and electric guitars, all elements and sounds we too love here on Metalectro. So when he sent us his new tracks we were very happy and excited to take them on and offer them to you for free, because we simply think they should be heard by all those who still enjoy the underground and trashy Electro sound. So if the dark, heavy Electro alchemies Lux Cathedra has been cooking up sound like something that might migth be down your alley, then make sure to check out these 4 new original tracks, download them and spread “Trismegiste” EP!

Going on with another new release by Russian hardcore rave duo Un4Get, out just yesterday on Jet Set Trash. “Shut Up!” is the title of Un4Get‘s second EP release, which includes 4 original tracks which is pretty hard to squeeze into any sub-gengres really. Dark, heavy and loud, “Shut Up!” EP brings together different sounds and mixes eveything from Electro Trash to Trap and Nuro to Breaks, all with enough bass to bring your roof down. Definitely not an easy listening or club friendly release by any means but then again if you’re looking for some heavy Electronic music that embraces the freedom of being “underground” and ignoring the Beatport charts (or any charts for that matter) then Un4Get‘s new EP is definitely for you.
