New England Digital by Christoph WaelkensNew England Digital is proudly digital, containing 6 very different sound vignettes ranging from ‘style brisé’ FM harpsichord to abstract techno. At times dreamlike and detached but never without solid harmonic or rhythmical interest, New England Digital evokes scenes from New England pastoral life during the early settlement years.In the early nineties Waelkens was involved in many dance releases on the pioneering Belgian label Elektron. Later on focusing mainly on piano composition and polyrhythmic music, staying low profile yet highly active. His new music is thematically inspired: the mini album 'New England Digital' reflects a lifelong interest in digital synthesis, Shona music, classical and electronic music in general.

A buoyant expedition into the abyssal depths of aesthetic shock-outs and scorched techno rhythms by E-Saggila on his latest release for Northern Electronics named Blaze. Treading lightly through a range of tempos and atmospheres, each track deftly leans into measured bouts of whiplash and recoil with affective consequence. Nothern Electronic going into the depths, but never forgets about the raw dancefloor energy!
