New material by Neon Electronics and upcoming shows by The Neon Judgement
When kindred souls meet across generations, the result of such cultural crossbreeding is often interesting, sometimes good and, if they really connect on different levels, mesmerizing.
As is the case for NEON ELECTRONICS/ne, the collaboration between Dirk Da Davo - he from THE NEON JUDGEMENT fame - and Glenn Keteleer a- relentless dark techno producer with to albums and a string of EP's under his belt. There is common ground, of course: both already co produced tracks with the likes of THE HACKER, DAVID CARRETTA and MILLIMETRIC, and made applauded appearences on DAVE CLARKE's 'White Noise Radio' playlists.
But perhaps even more significant: both share a dystopian view on present and future, where it's open season for governments and multinational corporations that seem to have recieved a license to kill the privacy and freedom of the individual, and a mutual sonic understanding that includes pounding beats bonanzas next to brooding krautrock, marshy soundscapes and twisted dub. So yes, it's dark. And loud. But it's a darkness with a loudly beating heart. Pretty? No. Hauntingly beautiful?Absolutely.
