#33 Feat. Staff Picks in Indie Dance

Bordello A Parigi welcome the prolific Kirill Junolainen into the fold. He debuts under his Konerytmi alias with four tracks that join the dots of disco, italo, synth pop and wave. The title piece, Super Ekstaasi, is an analogue rollercoaster of emotive lyrics and sparkling synthlines shot through with distant melancholy. The frosty Klassikkoelokuva follows. Contrasting its predecessor, this glacial work of electro cuts crystalline chords with crisp claps and bending basslines. Temperatures rise on the flip. Slow and sci-fi inspired, the thoughtful Hirvijarvi explores the cosmos through searching synthlines and probing percussion. The gamut of Konerytmic is on display with the finale being no exception. Uusiaalto is both brittle and bold. Refracted computer chirps are draped in soaring strings, pinpricks of drum piercing the stern samples that break the delicacy of the tracks composition. Super Ekstaasi through and through.
