Paris/Berlin-based production and DJ duo Terranova (Fetisch and &ME) recently released their Question Mark Remixes EP via Kompakt, featuring vocals from Scandanavian underground rock vocalist Tomas Høffding (of WhoMadeWho) and remixes from KiNK and Adam Port.

KinK’s remix evokes a dark, emotive storm with the addition of rain sticks, dark synths and a chalky bassline -

Tomas Høffding’s falsetto drips over Adam Port’s deep, thumping, percussive tribal remix -

Nacey’s bootleg remix of the already beautifully composed Game of Thrones’ theme, adds a wintry touch and militant drum line to the symphonically combative and sorrowful anthem.

“Game of Thrones Bootleg” is available for streaming and free download below.

Alex Krüger – better known as Tigerskin/Dub Taylor/Korsakow – most recently (and very generously) uploaded Psychoplasma - a nine-track LP recorded in Berlin between the years of ’94-’96 via his ambient/electronic project with Jan Gabler, Psycho Plasma. This material was originally only available through the limited amount of CD copies that were released by Futurepop Recordings in 1996.

The album includes tracks like “Künstliche Freiheit”; a harsh fusion of sounds ranging from mechanical squelches, bubble popping and repetitive drones to flickering metallic prisms that can only be reminiscent of what interstellar communication might sound like – to slightly more accessible material like “Wellensittich”;  a celestial nature tribute that delivers layering echoes of clapping woodblocks in company with reoccurring animalistic howling and a strong, pulsating beat that softens and balances the sounds of piercing tweets and chirps.

The collection communicates a soundtrack that will both soothe and disturb. Further exploration of Psychoplasma is available below for streaming and free download.
