Odonis Odonis “Post Plague” LP

Electronica, Indie Dance, Reviews Comments

Nov 142016

Welcoming on Metalectro Canadian trio Odonis Odonis who just recently released their second album “Post Plague” on Felte and well, let’s just say it got our attention right from the first listen. Combining elements of Darkwave, Darksynth, Industrial and even (Post) Rock, all with a noisy and “paranoid” (in a good way) approach, Odonis Odonis are finding the right balance between electronic and live music elements, which they maintain throughout the 10 songs heard on “Post Plague”. Definitely not an easy listen and an album that might take a while to “grow” on some listeners but then again anyone looking for (electronic) music that’s easy to the ears and brain wouldn’t probably be counting on finding their music through Metalectro. But those who do rely on us on finding and delivering some “different” electronic music to their inboxes, newsfeeds and ultimately ears, give these boys a chance. We did and we haven’t regretted it (yet)… Continue reading »

Aglory “Mort” EP

Electronica, Reviews, Techno Comments

Nov 022016

Parisian duo Aglory are back once more with a new EP. Dark, deep and heavy Electronica/Techno, as anyone familiar with Aglory‘s past releases would expect, “Mort” was out on October 28 and (what a surprise-not) just in time for Halloween. Four original tracks, all dealing with the theme of mortality and death, “Mort” was released through Kannibalen Records. Maybe not what you’d normally expect by the Canadian label which usually deals with less dark themes, although their roster isn’t exactly unwelcoming towards the heavier and darker side of things either and how could it be when it hosts artists like Lektrique, Black Tiger Sex Machine and Haezer to mention a few? A must check release for anyone into the dark Electronica and Techno, as is usually the case with Aglory so press play and enjoy!

Review: M.A.D.E.S “Return” EP

Electro, Electronica, Indie Dance, Reviews, Synthwave Comments

Jun 242016

It might have been a while since we heard any new music by M.A.D.E.S but finally the French artist is back with a new EP titled “Return” and well, not only it’s very suitably titled but also a fine comeback for him. Including 3 originals as well as remixes by Irving Force, Hijack Da Bass and Alminia “Return” was out on JST Records on June 20th. Moving somewhere between Electro House, Complextro and Synthwave/Outrun, the 3 originals strike the right balance between heavy basslines and melodic parts (more on the melancholic and dark side rather than on the EDM though) while each of the 3 remixes adds something new to the release. Irving Force‘s rocker definitely focuses more on the 80’s side of things and pushes the original to its limits (just like an 80’s “action packed” movie would), Hijack Da Bass delivers an Electro House hard hitter you’d expect from him while finally the newcomer Alminia adds some flavor and closes the release in afunkier and lighter tone.

Review: VA “3 Years Of Blackout”

Drum & Bass, Reviews Comments

Jun 172016

Next up we have something huge coming and well, how could it not be huge when it’s a compilation album celebrating three years of Blackout Music? Yeah, you read that right, a remix album consisting of Blackout artists remixing other Blackout artists and we could stop writting right at this point since you know this is going to be a face melt. And if you are not convinced just take a look at the track list, where some of the hottest Drum And Bass artists come together to remix each other (Black Sun Empire, Pythius, Telekinesis, Neonlight, State Of Mind and the list goes on). Out on June 17 this is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most highly anticipated releases of the year since all tracks are… well, to put it simply “fire”. Non-stop energy and bass which we guarantee will squeeze your brain and hit you in the face so hard that you won’t be able to stop moving. Should we even say “check it out”? We shouldn’t have to so just press play. Continue reading »

Review: aUtOdiDakT, Kroyclub, YOL, Trumpdisco “Team Bass ” EP

Electro, Electronica, Reviews Comments

Jun 152016

Following some consecutive “fresh blood” posts and music by artists we only came accross recently for the first time, it’s finally time to get back to some old nasties and bass maestros. Besides, you know that when Mähtrasher Records regulars aUtOdiDakT, Kroyclub, YOL (Your Ol’ Lady) and Trumpdisco come together to form “Team Bass” good things are about to happen. Five collaboration originals by the four artists who once again delivered a monster bass Electro release, like one would expect by them but then again what were the odds they wouldn’t? For those long time fans of “Team Bass” you might get surprised by the inclusion of a Trap track as well on the release, although to give credits where due, it’s not the usual generic Trap and it still maintains the character and sound which defines the label and artists. Good stuff no doubt, especially when good heavy Electro is getting so hard to come by nowadays. And while Europe is cheering for their favorite football national teams these days we’ll stick to our own passion and cheer for our favorite team. Bring it home “Team Bass”! Continue reading »
