Artist: TORBA Who: The artistic name for darkwave producer Luigi Pianezzola based in Bassano
del Grappa and The Soft Moon touring musician who’s music features electronic tracks which pull from punk, industrial and club music while retaining a modern grit of his
own.
Torba: “It was a space to do whatever I wanted. It felt good to do something ‘wrong’,
because when recording somebody else, you have to work with the cleanest sound.
When I’m doing my stuff, I try to push it as hard as I can to do everything wrong.
I see it every day – people not making extreme decisions anymore. They record
the stuff clean, and then they try to find the tone during the production, I always
try to do the opposite. I try to look for the sound immediately. If it works, it works.
Otherwise, I take it off.””
TUTV: The world is on its way to self-destruction. No point of return.
Merciless and ruthless. ‘II’ is a most fitting soundtrack for the ultimate
event. Well, that’s what my startled ears tell my shocked mind.
Doom and gloom dominate this nasty sledgehammer of a record.
Big techno bangs, think The Prodigy, and blasting beats, think NIN.
Götterdämmerung chaos everywhere.
The last three tracks (Onda, Sides and Rider) orchestrate
the aftermath of the final decline. Game over. Breathtaking
opus.
In order to not miss a beat Turn Up The Volume scans the musical
horizon daily (doing it for years now, actually) to stay in touch with
all new things sonically great and shares the results on a weekly
basis.

No rest for the psycho-tic wicked.
Matt Tavano (bass/vocals) “‘Witches’ is about a road rage incident I was involved in a couple years ago that quickly escalated into a roadside robbery,” Tavano admits. “As the scenario was playing out it seemed like violence was going to be unavoidable. But with a little luck, everyone went home in one piece, even the bad guys. It was, as they say, a wicked nail biter.”
Artists: SPIRITUAL MINIMAL Who: Brand new musical project formed by Lindsay and Tim Baker
in the late summer of 2024. Taking influence and inspiration from the
likes of Slowdive, Nico, Warpaint and Unloved the duo aims to create
a true, sonically induced transcendent experience.
Band: FLYGHT CLUB Who: The musical project of Los Angeles-based Shauvik Sharan.
His music emphasizes versatility, covering a wide range of
popular genres and exploring new styles, with each song
designed to fit different moods and emotions.
“For the first time in my life I asked the band if we could just jam. Words that have
never come out of my mouth – ever! But I loved all the sounds we were getting. I was
curious – what would happen? In an hour we wrote two songs that ended up becoming
“I Can’t Imagine” and “Southern Life.”
Track: AFTERLIFE
First preview from the self-titled LP,
coming our way on 7 Feb 2025.
Vintage vocal Van Etten splendour.
Bewitching song. Longing romanticism.
Artist: STEVE HEWITT Who: Singer-songwriter from Edenbridge , Kent (England).
Track: COLD WORLD
First taster from his upcoming album Never Two Days The Same.
The song spotlights the darker side of our reality and human nature. Hewitt observes through his own eyes the pervasive existence of conflict,
distorted moral values, betrayal and personal suffering.
Americana country pop the British way.
Gloomy musing for gloomy times, as we know it. Hewitt‘s warm voice shines in the darkness.
