Kumo 99 -Body N Will




It is this level of detuning, I don't know how all these artists get it so right  


To copy 2009 humour 


I too have eyes in the back of my head at the song Kumo 99 by Body N Will  


I have no idea what the lyrics are, I can only assume I hadn't unlocked the idea to even know about them, like an Elden Ring character 




It starts a bit slow, a little hand clapy , but goddam is that lead synth with banding synths not the perfect mix for hard driving, clubing and drinking*


* due to the cost of living I do not have a car and can't go clubbing , but I can confirm it is good for drinking

Outrun - TAKTSTÖRER · REDCHINAWAVE




 It starts with a Hoover i already know I'm in for a good time, 


I'm setting up the picnic blanket ready to listen and then bam 





an 8-bit synth playing in a key unknown to man ( I'm not promising a music theory explanation as I don't know )


Hard drums <3 <3  <3 next 


I say this is a perfect goth club song, to show everyone that in your mind you are in the opening scene to Blade or at least that one scene in The Matrix with Rob Zombie

David Dove- Serenity


Eggs, bread, breathing all of them have gone up so immensely,

 

It costs $20 to just go outside, making us all ready go full GG Allin and go mental,

  

So, it's nice to bring down, down to a nice smooth, esky chilled level and David Dove new song Serenity is that cool cool refreshing VB with the ice stuck to it.

 




You start the song / crack open the lid to a smooth rhoads keyboard, You have a sip on those dreamy wavey vocals, and a guitar sound full of a perfect blend of chorus and reverb.


You forget your troubles.

 

But just like all drinking it finishes too early and there was only one song in the esky,

 

David Dove please put more beers in the esky/ release more.

 

Go listen so you too can be refreshed

femtanyl x issbrokie - NASTYWERKKKK



I have contacted both the WHO and my local junkie to figure out how they get such unique vocals on this track, I don't know how they do it and if you want to send me how in a dream id really apperiacte.



The great break beats are insane but also catchy. I don't know how to dance to them, but I suspect I am meant for other activities. 


 "when the beat drops i'm going to fucking kill myself"




Before that we have that fantastic stab sound we have come to love from femtanyl , I suspect a it's a rave gen 2 sound, but I never could get the spices just right





Anyway go listen 


Its great


your great

You're sitting on your couch, you have invited everyone over for afters/ pres

No, you'll just end up showing everyone your boomhauer impression, 

"Put on some sports"  

Don't lie to yourself 

You go onto YouTube, you see 

Cynthoni - Definitely Not The Essential Mix

Purity Filter - Bleeding Calamity





I don't know how we haven't spoken about purity filter before here at Arcane Crystals usually

I go all full autistic tunnel vision and will talk nothing but my favs for hours. Only stopping for my Tinder date to say they have to go.


Well a new trace/sex trance obscure friend finding dance floor clearer is here by Purity Filter - Bleeding Calamity 


The drums are an amazing type of bit-crushed goodness


The bass is a great 303 style line, that I could spend all day in the studio with the exact same midi notes and not even get 10% close to, 

I have no idea where you would find this live in Sydney sorry.....but if you make one I'll be here

IC3speak – Sydney Tour

 

This is a general warning that these

amounts of we are so back is off the charts

 



 



 

Wednesday, 22 October 2025 – Liberty Hall, Sydney IC3SPEAK is playing, I'm 99% sure for the first time

 

I can’t wait, this level of witch house artists is usually reserved for random euro venues in countries that no longer exist.

Fuck You and the Horse Your Rode in on-King Parrot



A Young Persons Guide is the next album from my favourite local angry Bird King Parrot

This new song to be dripped fed to us Fuck You and the Horse Your Rode In On

And god does this thirsty hamster want more

 



 

This is a classic song of King Parrot's heavy grind guitars and amazing vocals

 

I can foresee this song calming me as I enter my 2hr commute to my shity job and shitty manager

 

The classic humour is here as well, full of quotes that you be quoted forever

 

“This one's pub to pear padding too fast “ and “got anywhere to park my ass”

 

And so many many more, go give it a listen so I don't seem as crazy when I scream these on my local T4 line.

Кровь-VSN7, Asenissa



Here at arcanecrystals, we do things by the book our baselines are 80s arpeggiated basslines with a distorted hoover underneath

Кровь-VSN7, Asenissa “bye book”

 



Кровь use of a rolling almost trance meets synthwave

On top of some great leads with the perfect amount of detuning, makes the perfect lead for taking you on your underground warehouse introspective rave adventure

 

Not much more to say i'm off to my own fantasy land

 

Talk soon xoxox

Snow Stripper-Passionate Highs

"rainy day bus ride feeling."





While we all know snow strippers, we have heard their songs, there recent blow up with “ under your spell “ thanks to a certain CCP asset, ( see below for my face seeing my fav songs jump x200000% in views after one day )


I Have always thought of snow strippers as a much more digestible either ICESPEAK or CRIM3S

 

Just listen to those beautiful leads in this song

 

I haven’t been able to find much on how they create music

 

But I can tell you the video game samples with an 80s bass line, and gothic-styled bigger-than-life vocals followed by Hoover synths.

 

It hits me in that rainy day bus ride feeling.
