Karassimeon, one of Ritmo Fatale’s key producers and performers, returns to the label with his new EP, Aethernova. The EP delivers an introspective and intense journey in two phases. It begins with a descent into darkness, driven by cinematic, tense EBM—Karassimeon’s signature style. Panique Synthétique embraces a bold, modernized electroclash, while Analog Anxiety oscillates between the clinical chill of a Dopplereffekt-scored basement and the unsettling strangeness of a haunted mansion. The shift arrives with Aethernova, the title track, where dissonant pads pave the way for a brighter, more hopeful breakbeat—an element the artist often explores in his live sets. The journey ends with Final Flash, a liberating italo-trance anthem marked by a vocal hook that lights the way out: “take me to the stars.” After two years carving out his place as a “machines” live act in iconic venues across Europe and the United States (Else in Berlin, Khidi in Tbilisi, Grauzone Festival in The Hague, Synthicide in New York...) as well as in France (La Machine du Moulin Rouge, Badaboum, Macadam), the Parisian artist channels that raw stage energy into a four-track release that’s dense, emotionally charged, and pulsating with BPMs.
