Cinematic Electronica

Artist and Producer Ian Chamberlain has released their cinematically Avant-Garde single “Disruption”

Posted on 14 August 2020

With an intro which wouldn’t be out of place in a Nils Frahm composition, Ian Chamberlain kicks off his latest single “Disruption” with a teasing Neo-Classic start before throwing an unexpected aural curveball your way and throwing you headfirst into an experimentally electrifying soundscape.

The Adelaide, Australia-based artist and producer poured his passion for both Classical music and mechanical sounds into Disruption. Which may give you an indication of just how distinct and alchemic their sound is. Yet, to truly appreciate their talent, you’ll have to immerse yourself in the cinematically avant-garde single yourself.

Listening to Disruption is practically a full-body experience for the way the visceral notes seem to make every cell in your body stand to attention. For your sake instead of theirs, hit play. It’s not every day you’ll get to encounter such a mind-blowing feat of ingenuity.

HARBOUR – All You Can Be: Cinematically Captivating Electronica

Posted on 14 July 2020

Las Vegas artist and producer HARBOUR has proven with their former releases that they know how to cook up a cinematically evocative electronic storm. With their new album “Mend”, they offered the ultimate testament to their talents when it comes to creating powerfully atmospheric music.

Each single was poignantly orchestrated to hit hard and tackle a different facet of what it means to be human. The perfect introduction to HARBOUR’s captivating sound is “All You Can Be”.

For anyone that’s feeling a little lost right now, All You Can Be offers as much guidance as it does resonance. The sentimental soul of the single is amplified by the colossal yet succinct and deftly crafted build-ups. It’s so much more than a soundscape which simply speaks to you. It mirrors the fluctuation of emotions which course through you as you battle against your own mental storms which tempt you to put aside ambition, hope and optimism.

UK artist and producer Night Auras dropped their unmissably hypnotically sonic mix No-go to FOMO on May 22nd, 2020.

With basslines, drums and bass trombone weaved into the electrically-orchestrated stylistically prodigal mix, there’s almost a cinematic feel to the soundscape. Yet, thanks to Night Auras throwing in a fair amount of viscerally-charged experimentalism, we can ensure that you’ve never heard anything like this intergalactically-entrancing mix.

If you like to have your finger on the pulse of the freshest new names in Alt Ambient Electronica, you’ll want Night Auras on your radar.

You can stream and download No-go to FOMO via Bandcamp.
