Electronic Music Alliance – Autumn 2020 Soundcloud Showcase

Greetings everyone and welcome to the Autumn edition of EMA's Soundcloud Playlist! As we mentioned in the August 2020 Newsletter, we'll be changing the way we present these showcases of talent from the EMAliens to give each artist a bit more time to shine and share the story behind their tracks!

The EMA playlists are selected by Bufinjer with the blogs compiled by Nicky Havey and the stories of the tunes shared by the producers themselves. So, without further ado, here is the playlist for you to enjoy, with the comments from the producers underneath!

Tracklist

Primaudia Record -- Diablo

​​Since I released my last album I gave myself a (very short) break to recharge my batteries and gain some inspiration. I poured myself back in the deep end and went straight into sound engineering mode. I wanted to move forward with Primaudia Record and develop new and exciting ways of bringing synth and horror together in a powerful way and Diablo was the result. I was so happy with this track that it became my first ever single and is a free download on Bandcamp. Much more of this to come!

AGM Productions -- Eyes On You

This track is a deep house joint with some chill vibes to go with a thick bass and soothing drums. This track has you in the waiting room knowing there’s someone watching on that camera.

Coercive - Revival (Nicky Havey remix)

The original from Coercive was a junglist trip from a few years ago and I always wanted to remix it but never got around to uploading it until recently.

​Enjoy this free Liquid Drum & Bass download with atmospherics and a rolling bassline.

mAncient -- Freedom @ Best Western

This track started out as "Kjærlighetens kyst" in my first album (2018). I removed my own vocals - they ducked anyway - and added something else. ​

The Coherent Alliance -- Hope for the Crestfallen

I took some time out from writing and producing, as I felt my sound was not satisfying my creative cravings. I reflected on life and my current situation and started writing in a more progressive and ambient style. Hope for the Crestfallen follows a group of survivors of a post apocalyptic world, who are trying to find hope within their new way of life. The track also has a music video on YouTube and Facebook.

ᗴᗰᑭ丅Ƴ ᔕᗴᗩ -- Adagio (The Zeropoint Projects Remix)

The Zeropoint Projects took a soundscape of mine called Adagio, which was so chilled it was #2 on Skylab Radio for a while, then he dissected it and dirtied it up to create a monster version

---

HEGstraction -- Heute nicht

Heute Nicht means 'Not today'; a common response used by the infamous Berlin club bouncers to deny entry. This track is a parody of the resulting situation which is an anxious nervous line of clubbers; it features heartbeat samples, daunting effects with elements of hope wrapped in techno beats, and dark industrial elements.

​Bufinjer — Hyperdrive

I wanted to make an energetic track with a tech feel and a add some vocals. I came up with the beat, and as usual I kept adding different elements. Eventually this ended up being more of a Tech House track. I had come up with the idea of calling it Hyperdrive early on, it had almost a sci fi feel to it so it just popped into my head. The vocals I found were from a great pack I had found a while ago, and the vocals just fit the theme so well, and fit the beat too.

​This track ended up being part of a contest we ram in EMA and on twitter where myself @MathGuy and @Cylotron did a master of it and the winner would be the one I'd use. After a bit of debate, and a close race between Ivan and Cylotron (mine was a different mastering chain and style I normally do, but it did not come out how I wanted it, and I think people agreed as I only got I think 2 votes total). The winner ended up being Ivan, and his master is the one I released.

​Peter Harich -- We House U - Acid Version

We House U is a hard hitting Acid track with a driving beat that reminds of Acid tracks in the late 80s. The 303 carries the track forward throughout. I made the track while longing for a return of the feelings I had when listening to bands/acts like DJ Pierre, Sleezy D, Armando, Bam Bam and Charles B etc.

---

DZM -- Abstinence

Abstinence is a melodic techno track representing a period of clarity and peace obtained during abstinence

---

Cylotron -- Acid Ecstasy

An Acid Techno stomper guaranteed to fill the dance floor... oh yeah... covid-19... enjoy anyway!

---

Electrostatic Nightmare Disco -- Beauty

Beauty is an attempt by me to do some electronic ambient music, twinged with acid
