ZYNIC

Time for the last post today/tonight. 

We have talked about Italo in the post before this and one of the biggest stars in the Italo era from the 80s is without any doubt Den Harrow. 

Now, the German producer Zynic have done his own interpretation of the iconic track "Bad Boy" from Den Harrow that came out 1985. Fun facts about the original is that it was sang by the American singer Tom Hooker so Den Harrow or Stefano Zandri was only the face and the performer. 

"Bad Boy" have it´s official release on August 1 but you can already now listen and buy the track on Zynic´s Bandcamp.

MIRKO HIRSCH

Who said that Italo Disco is dead? 

Today the Italosound is more of the style of Retrowave, Synthwave but some of those doing Italo have a lot of the classic sound, love it. 

Mirko Hirsch from Germany just released a new single with the feature of Daria in "Master of Disaster" 

The new single is released exclusive on Bandcamp. So, buy it, stream it, enjoy the 80s a while.

SOFT VEIN

How many of you outhere are missing MTV? 

I do, and I also miss that so many artists nowadays don´t do any videos of their masterpieces like they did before. I can understand it a little, maybe it´s hard to publish video today beside Youtube and Tik Tok, but for those that are doin´ that, thx. 

For not so long ago, the electronic artist Soft Vein from California, US, released a nice video on his latest single "Learning To Talk" check it out and dream away a bit in his mellow and cozy track.

"Learning to Talk" is OUT NOW through his recordlabel Artoffact Records.

GEWC & STARSIGN

I don´t know if you have noticed that The German Electronic Web Chart or GEWC is back again from their break and I was so glad when I saw that the other day, that means another chart to check out.

Yes, more job for me to monitor, but that is what I do. It´s interesting to see how similar the charts is when we talk about artists appearing on the charts. 

One thing is that GEWC is a bit late for some of the artists that already entered the Klangwald for an example, but who cares, we love them anyway, so if the tracks also enter GEWC, well, you must have done a great job as an artist or promoter for the, or, your recordlabel. 

This weeks highest new-entry on GEWC is "Silent Prayers" and the Rob Dust remix. 

"Silent Prayers" have been and still is on number One/1 on Klangwald. 

I guess that this song going to be a number one also on GEWC in a near future, great remix from Rob Dust, but also, don´t forget to check out the other remix on the two tracks EP with the Delorean Hellfire Club Extended.

DIGITAL ENERGY

Well, it´s Summertime and with that lots of busy work for me as a DJ but let´s take a check on this weeks Klangwald Radio Chart and the highest new-entry in Digital ENERGY that went in on number 7 this week with "Eternity". 

The new single from Digital ENERGY is a powerful electronic synthpop track with nice stabbing synths revving. The two track EP also contains a more aggresive remix with EBM vibes from the Klangwald favourites Starsign, both of the artists are signed by Infacted Recordings, so a nice collab there. 

"Eternity" with the Original and the Starsign remix is OUT NOW!!!

METHYL ORANGE

Thursday and vacation time, slow on the blog and with releases but today the new song "Caught in Thought" from the UK based producer Methyl Orange came out. 

Methyl Orange is the project of sonic architect Nick Wall, a (mostly) instrumental electronic artist based in Manchester, UK 

Biography & Pressrelease: 

The music from Methyl Orange is a melodic mix of richly layered, evolving synths and guitars, spanning a wide range of genres and styles, creating immersive cinematic soundscapes and blending modern synthwave and electronica nostalgia. 

Influences are wide-ranging, from early-'70s prog rock and Krautrock — including pioneers such as Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream — to classic '80s electronica, John Carpenter soundtracks, and countless other artists and sounds, all coming together in the unique sound that is Methyl Orange.

"Caught in Thought" is an epic cinematic soundtrack to an imaginary film, with the tagline “Some places make you stop. Other places never let you go …”
