State of Bass UK, Romsey (2024)

01/09/2024

If you would like to see what we've been up to recently and what our plans are for the next few months check out our ad in the latest edition of Blitzed Magazine...
Features the wonderful 'Personalities' album by Maxx Silver, a unique voice in synth pop (what do you mean you haven't heard it yet? It's stunning!)
Also forthcoming releases by Mad Elektrons, Mothloop, Wavewulf and Nostalgia Deathstar as well as another call out for contributors to our next Generation Blitz compilation.

28/08/2024

'Human Resource', the first single from Nostalgia Deathstar's forthcoming second album will be released into the wild on Sept 6th. A pounding synth-hymn to the era of managed decline, strategic resourcing and the reduction of human value to spreadsheet cost analysis. Welcome to an environment where knowledge, skill and qualification are all meaningless and the financial spreadsheet is god.

Really excited to announce our next release will be the debut single by Mad Elektrons on August 9th.

Called 'Out of Mind', it's a stunning slice of emotional pop-noire from the creative minds behind ghost elektron and Mad Monk... we love it and think you're going to as well.

Happy third birthday to this beauty… so proud of this album. I really think we captured a special moment in synth pop scene.
If you’re still unaware of the global grass roots synthpop/electro post punk movement, this could be a good place to start.
Thanks Pulse Lab for the reminder (not good at anniversaries, birthdays etc).

Come explore Dr Dasha's sonic laboratory this Friday 24th March when the long awaited debut Pulse Lab album 'Lab Notes' is released on Bandcamp.

Find out why Electronic Sound Magazine, Blitzed Magazine, revivalsynth.com and a host of amazing radio DJs have had so many positive things to say.

Pulse Lab’s irresistible singles have helped her find a global fan base in the underground synth scene, with people drawn to her dramatic songs that explore pop’s darker side. Dasha has also released standout contributions to the Generation Blitz 1 & 2 compilations and has collaborated with emerging artists from the synth scene, including Wavewulf (US), Montage Collective (Australia), Maxx Silver (UK) and Projekt Ich (Germany).
To achieve her vision for this album she drafted in a series of creatively like-minded producers including Xentinel, Kevin O’Rahilly (Chain Complex), Sean Albiez (Ghost Elektron, Nostalgia Deathstar), Daniel Kiff (Kiffie) and Timo Jalkanen (Montage Collective).

Imagine Nico duetting with Claudia Brucken on songs co-written with ABBA and Erasure and you’d come close to Pulse Lab’s heartbreaking power.

WARNING - ‘Information Disclocation’, the first single from Mothloop has escaped Mothloop Towers and is out in the wild. Keep your ears open and report any rampant funkiness. If you come into contact with it do not try to resist the urge to swing your hips - resistance is utterly futile. There is no cure for this. It’s contaminated disco…

A positive reaction to a difficult world The legendary Blitz Club provided a catalyst for many of the musical talents that were emerging in that odd crossover point between the 1970s and 1980s. Synonymous with the fashionable New Romantic movement, … Read More
