He exists in the space between the pulsing glow of a nightclub and the dust of a forgotten country road. This artist is a phantom DJ for a honky-tonk in the shadows, crafting a sound that is as unsettling as it is irresistible. Built on a foundation of driving, four-on-the-floor electronic beats (125-130 BPM) and distorted techno basslines, his music is a paradox—a dancefloor built over a graveyard. At its heart lies a voice: a dark, slow, and resonant baritone, weathered and worn, channeling the raw, haunting authority of many long gone singers. This is not an imitation, but a reincarnation, processed with tape saturation and subtle megaphone distortion to sit perfectly within the electronic mix. The delivery is deadpan, ironic, yet deeply compelling—like an old soul recounting its own demise over a relentless beat. The stories he tells are pure Southern Gothic—tales of tragedy, sin, doomed love, and the ghost of redemption, delivered with the wry twist of a murder ballad. But the instrumentation is a fusion of worlds. Woven through the synthetic pulse are elegant, melancholic piano interludes, paying tribute to the romantic despair of Chopin. It’s a sound where the organic and the synthetic collide, creating a unique and captivating genre: Haunted Electronic Country. This is not just music for your ears; it’s a narrative for your soul. Press play, and let his deep, gravelly voice guide you through the neon-lit darkness.

Esgazette is an independent recording project that has been active since the 1980s. It began in London and is now based in Scotland. It is at the same time both a band with songs and an extensive catalogue of instrumentals. While broadly described as alternative electronic, there is no musical plan for Esgazette. So you may find a pop song next to a piece of musique concrète. Good luck. ----- ----- ----- With so much music to discover, the curious listener will find a variety of sound even across one album. The numbered instrumental series can vary from the first album’s experiments with electronica and atmospheric interludes to number five, an unsettling collection of wintery soundscapes and found sounds. More recently the album Tide Tables is a collaboration with neoclassical composer Edward Newell who plays cello and piano alongside studio processing. The song albums are a blend of post-rock and electronic and feature the project’s founder Will Datson on vocals with several guest vocalists. For example, the 2007 album Legerdemain has the American actor and singer Deb’bora fronting a series of quirky and theatrical songs. ----- More information at esgazette.com
There is a heart in music that resonates with everyone. This transcends language, style and the passion behind it all. Composing songs that relate to the human in us, Nysmos has been composing music with a pulse since 2020. Safe to say, it has evolved into a whole new language for him. What might have begun as an act of passion with Never Gonna Be in 2020 is succeeded by an impressive catalogue of music now. The composer chose an electronic dance medium to be a place where he connects with the space, time and energy involved. Since then, the aspirational, optimistic and energizing music he makes connects with every fibre of your being. Though 2021 and 2022, Nysmos has chosen to experiment with layers to find his own niche and truly carve a path. Songs like Never Letting Go, and We Like to Party have the kind of zeal that captures the style of the masters. From who he idolises to the kind of lyrics that make him whip up these tunes, he is focused on the details. His song Tought of Losing Her has resonated much deeper with fans, with it accumulating almost 10k streams. His latest song Where Have You Gone now utilizes his signature style with a passionate series of lyrics that really accent his style. This is the stage you stand on now, and find an uplift to the heavens with Nysmos’ exciting music.
