With “We’re Not Suburban”, Melbourne‑based Velatine takes a confident step toward a darker pop aesthetic, and under the direction of producer Loki Lockwood a soundscape unfolds that oscillates between darkwave, gothic, post‑punk and industrial while, surprisingly, feeling fresh; Lockwood’s production, marked by precision and technical detail, is nonetheless threaded with an ease and fluidity in…

‚Haze of Time‘ – Hallucinophonics
‚Haze of Time‘ is a dense, driving track that is characterised by modern gothic aesthetics. At 132 BPM, the song generates a nervous, urgent energy carried by pulsating drums and shimmering guitars.

‚Attick tracks Vol. 2‘ is the cold, sharp-edged darkwave release from New Jersey duo blxckflamingo. Three tracks create a macabre soundscape that combines goth aesthetics with raw intensity.

It’s not a song for bright days – but for those hours when longing and pain meet on the dance floor and merge into one another.Sonically, the track is…
‘For New Times’ – DEAdpILOT
With their new single ‘For New Times,’ the Tbilisi-based post-punk duo DEAdpILOT has made a remarkable stylistic shift. Away from the British-influenced sound of earlier works, towards a reduced, Eastern European-tinged aesthetic reminiscent of Kino, Molchat Doma or Human Tetris. The track sounds raw, analogue and deliberately unpolished – a musical statement against the digital…
