SHREM'S CLUB BIZARRE INTRODUCING: "APOCALIPSI" - Jansky feat. Defled

Jansky is an electronic duo from Palma, Mallorca whom I discovered in 2013 with their mysterious debut EP "Un Big Bang A La Gibrella". Jaume Reus and Laia MaLo are serving another intriguing slice of bizarre techno POP with "Apocalipsi", half whispered and half sung in Catalan just like their previous recordings. The track is announcing the arrival of their new LP "éSSER ElèCTRIC". It's throbbing, it's hypnotic, it's unsettling in an eerily seducing way. Electronic poetry made in Spain. It was bound to end up in my Club Bizarre.

The video was directed by Joan Guasch.

SHREM'S CLUB BIZARRE INTRODUCING: "LA MASOVERA SE'N VA A L'ESPAI" + "MAL, BADES" - Jansky

What a breath of fresh air in the world of electronica with the arrival of Mallorca's mysterious duo Jansky. Their debut EP "Un big bang a la gibrella" is an outlandish mélange of "the captivating and danceable electronica from Jaume Reus and Laia MaLo's vocals (poetic, abstract) sung and recited in Catalan" as we read in an introduction on Sónar's website, the festival in Barcelona where you can catch them play live in June. There's something fascinating about these two tracks in particular and Catalan seems like a language simply made to be used in a musical context. A discovery indeed.
