#32 Feat. New Releases in Electro (Classic / Detroit / Modern)

Shipwrec have delved into the underbelly of electronics for their latest discovery. Fake Youth Cult is the brand new project of Richard van Kruysdijk, an artist who has been integral to the Dutch music scene. Following releases on Delsin, as well as founding his own Music for Speakers label, this latest undertaking explores the darker hues of Kruysdijks audio creations. Across six tracks, a realm of shadows and steel is constructed. From the murky tones of Visitor to the industrial and blackened Scorched, a towering sound of punishing percussion looms over the listener. Techno is central message. Despite this, the piercing coldness of electro rises in the incising and stark Messing. The influence of punk comes to the fore in racing rhythms and lean strings that make up Smear. BPMs drop in the slow burning EBM stained Management. The machines take control for the finale. A relentless kick is the motor that drives this seven minute juggernaut to the close. Broad and brutish brilliance from a prodigious talent.
