# Audioccult Vol. 5
*Light a candle. Draw the required sigils. Now, raise your arms above
your head and slowly, gently, exhale your soul. You won't need it here.
This is **Audioccult**, and it's time to get low.*
I get money. You get funerals. Actually, I get **Funerals** too. I've
watched these two evolve gently, from post-witch whatever to juked-up
bass, and it's certainly been a fun trip. They recently posted a preview
of their forthcoming **[Mishka][1]{: target="_blank"}** split with
**Ritualz**, and it's pure liquid sonics all the way, lush beats that
would slip nicely between **Jam City** and **Kingdom**. I bet it would
still play well in a foggy, strobelit room if that kind of thing *is*
your bag, baby. Meanwhile, UK-based grungy noise-pop trio **Bitches**
are celebrating their latest 7″ selling out by giving the tracks away
for free. This summer soundtrack takes me back to disgustingly hot New
York City summers, sweating and thrashing to whatever cool-ass band
happened to be playing in Brooklyn that weekend.....god, do I miss
**Mika Miko**. Head over to the perpetually sick [Deathbomb Arc][2]{:
target="_blank"} to grab more free tracks from these kids, and plenty of
other rad stuff too.
**FUNERALS -- Boo Sra**
**Bitches -- Winner 7″**
Denver's **Men In Burka** is finally releasing [his debut][3]{:
target="_blank"}. I say 'finally' like it's been a while, even though
the **Modern Witch** synthesist has only been around [a short time][4]{:
target="_blank"}. Oh, Internet. How you shorten our attention spans.
Still love you, digital boo, though not quite as much as these Techno
Allah beats. As I was typing that last sentence, a friend PMd me with a
link to a Swedish project called **G?Z?**. Not too down with the
triangles post-2010; the world I live in has way more dimensions. So at
first I was like *huhh*, but then I was all *hmm*. Drilling, buzzing
electronic experiments that create an intense feeling of claustrophobia.
Cocooned in vinyl, suffocating as you're lowered into chugging
machinery. This is Intelligent Death Music, a soundtrack for **David
Cronenberg**'s dentist waiting room. Then I started playing it under the
Men In Burka tracks and now I have some ideas. And I am calm.
**G?Z? -- EtherealRabies**
Over the weekend, I did a really, really [fun party][5]{:
target="_blank"} with **Destroy Culture, BL4CK M4G1CK**, and
**[M.E.S.H.][6]{: target="_blank"}** So many good songs, so much intense
dancing, so many happy friends. One of the highlights of the night was
discovering M.E.S.H.'s edit of 'Unsere Gegend' by German rappers **Alba
Kingz**. No idea what they're talking about, but those beats go hard. It
was definitely a high point in a party that was pretty much all high
points. I didn't even have to use my MDMA. I got to say, it was a good
day.
**Alba Kingz -- Unsere Gegend (M.E.S.H. Baby-centric Edit)**
It was difficult to pick a favorite for the week, but these final two
tracks are special to me. The first is by Croatian weirdos
**Crawander**, and oh my fucking god did I lose my shit when I heard
this. Hyper-goth vocals underscored by shrieks (pretty similar to my
own, actually) and a bouncy cartoon-core synth beat. The other tracks
are even more hectic and strange; this one's filed under 'new musical
obsession'. The final cut for today is also a debut track. The
Berlin-based **Bruises** features both Philip and Grayl of the monstrous
**[reliq][7]{: target="_blank"}**, but instead of earth-shattering rage,
this is pure bliss. Densely-packed 808 beats surround Grayl's vocals,
threatening to choke them before they burst free, soaring and weaving
amongst the sea of churned synths. This is going to be big.
**Crawander -- Prophit**
**Bruises -- Fruit**
Stay cold. Stay aware. These are the weird years.
