Gas’ “Nighthawk” starts off on a jazzy intro with soft pads and takes the listener on a journey of drum rolls and delayed percussions. A crescendo of warm synths balances the gloomy vocal that goes “How does it feel when your heart grows cold?”. Stylish.

Simone Ferrari’s “Romantik” comes up with a minimal vibe made of ticking sounds and clicks, with laid back synth stabs to top off the kick-driven tune. For the right afterparty at sunrise.

Acirne’s “Circle of us” is designed around a quirky funky bass line and crazy spectral sounds. Atmospheric keyboards remind of early German electronic bands, and a growing spaced-out arpeggio turns into a whirlwind of emotions. Another off-the-wall track from Memento hottest girl.

Blue Mondays’ “Holes” sets an even higher standard with its menacing intro, hand-picked bass guitar melody and a dark 80s-inspired singing which goes onto a break of feedback guitar sounds. Out of the ordinary to say the least, it’s a perfect blend of alternative electronic and the darker side of synth-pop.
