Hackney Electronica come to Dark Entries with the Synaptic Shadows EP, featuring 5 cuts of acidic rave-inflected wave. Quinn Whalley (Paranoid London), Unai Trotti (Cartulis Music), and Margo Broom (Hermitage Working Studios) formed Hackney Electronica during COVID era. Trotti and Whalley were spending countless hours digging through records and making music during lockdown. As their sound took shape - heavy and hypnotic - they invited Broom to join, cementing the motley trio. The five pieces on Synaptic Shadows explore themes of altered states, late-night cityscapes, and the fine line between pleasure and paranoia. Each track pulses like a memory from the backstreets of Hackney, where the night transforms the city into an electrified maze of fleeting highs and inevitable crashes. The anxious grooves on “H.E. Nuestro Circuito” and “Whispers from the Depths” channel 1980s DIY electronics onto the contemporary dancefloor, while “Efecto Perfecto,” “The One”, and “Nueva Ola” offer breakbeat-laced electro that will keep you dancing until dawn. Housed in a sleeve designed by German Bardo, Synaptic Shadows is more than just a debut release, it’s a journey through the flickering alleys of the mind, where tension and transcendence intertwine.

Mal eben (wieder) ein Meisterwerk geschaffen, Herr Rother? So nah am Zeitgeist - zumindest so wie ich die Welt wahrnehme. Trotz kostenlosem Download vor dem ersten Hören aus guten Grümden 10€ überwiesen und jetzt trotzdem noch ein schlechtes Gewissen. Danke für die Inspiration und das Gefühl - Grandios! stammmusiklst
More fluid, acid-drenched heaters from this rising Dutch producer, sustained by catchy vocals and off-kilter synth progressions. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 8, 2026
