four cutting edge electro / ebm tracks from croatian producer sasha rajkovich aka zarkoff.

techno, electro, dark wave

the multi talented zarkoff and his mates bring you the darkness of subterranean croatia. the sound of rats gnawing on your toenails.

zarkoff returns to gooiland elektro… this time not as fffc but together with ikonal… a partner in crime when it comes to producing spacey and trippy acid tracks… these three tracks are from one of the infamous synth jams zarkoff is organizing in an empty factory near sisak in croatia… the acid tracks featured on this ep have a throbbing beat with a clear hint to ebm… and the acid lines are both psychedelic and dark… in short dark acid for late night parties!
the photo on the label is by gyula gy. kordes, budapest, hungary and is called “steel”. this work is part of the photographic collection of lars schwander, copenhagen, denmark.

zarkoff (sasa rajkovic) is croatian musician and sound engineer that has been busy making proper sound of dozens labels and doing his own music last ten years. genre could be described as dark electronics, somewhere between techno and synth wave, but if there is something that makes him unique, it s his powerfull and distinctive voice. sasa is also member of ebm-ish project sumerian fleet, having releases on mighty dark entries or creme organization, where we took the opportunity and asked his colleague, legendary mr. pauli to enrich this 12inch with proper west coast style remix.

heinrich mueller and victoria lukas with a new project! some dark abstract modern electronics with the atmosphere of russian novels combined with the sounds rooted in an almost opposite part of the world... detroit.

croatian electronica label home made present zarkoffs second solo project, the >acid sun ep<. blazing across the floor with the kind of electro panache we have come to expect from the likes of i-f, passarani, ectomorph and co

7th hoary release comes from diwag.

the gooiland elektro compilation “unruhe” is a showcase of contemporary acid techno… spacey and trippy in the hands of zarkoff and distorted and freaked out by roberto auser… but also rather industrial when done by foql or pushed to the extreme by the untitled… this is acid as it should sound… edgy and daring tracks for illuminated heads instead of easy and boring sounds suitable for the masses… and as with all gooiland elektro releases this one is equally intense on the dance floor as with headphone playback.

‘synth wave volume 1’ is the flagship vinyl compilation album of some of the world’s freshest innovative electronic music. electro, synth pop, electro pop, darkwave... collectively we call it synth wave.

exploitation is the new film by dutch independent filmmaker edwin brienen. enfant terrible produced the soundtrack for this gothic-noir satiric fresco. 90 minutes of music to be enjoyed both as true soundtrack as well as a sequel to previous enfant terrible compilations... but more dramatic and ritualistic in the way the record is building up. it will please fans of minimal electronics and (post) industrial music but also moves into different styles such as idm, tekno, angst pop and chanson, while always keeping a dark and cold mood and/or dream state feeling throughout... limited edition of 250 copies!

monsieur guillaume berroyer — the infamous ark — recently underwent a sort of sea change in both his artistic and personal life. anyone following his career with even a passing interest knows of his long resume (collabs with pepe bradock and cabanne, dolibox, mika weill, releases on brif, karat, circus company, perlon…) and has heard tales of the studio fire and the creative energy shift and all of the stories associated with his frenzied live performances and dj gigs. great stories are fun and build mystique, but as most heads know the music more than measures up to the legend. his recent >arkpocalypse now< full-length showed a matured craftsman that is not so much waxing introspective as he is distilling his signature sound into something manageable enough to truly adapt to all of his musical tastes.
