Machinefabriek - The Measures Taken

2015-05-01 (News)

After last year's two releases (a compilation of rare tracks "Dubbeltjes" and the reissue of a collaborative album with Dag Rosenqvist entitled "Vintermusik") a renowned sound artist Rutger Zuydervelt returns with a completely new album called "The Measures Taken". It is the score for a dance performance by choreographer Alexander Whitley and visual artists Marshmallow Laser Feast. 
"The Measures Taken" was originally commissioned by the Royal Opera House (it premiered there in May 2014). The spectacular performance involves a lot of hi-tech interactivity between dancers and projected visuals. The theme of man vs/with machine is magnified by the music, which combines warm melodic pads with glitchy white noise and (more than on any other Machinefabriek release) propulsive rhythms. Now you can enjoy the music from the performance on a physical album which is also striking without the use of the visual side. 
The album is released in a 3-panel ecopak in a strictly limited edition of 300 copies.

Shadow Age is the moniker of Copenhagen based producer Benjamin Fischermann.

Technolorgy - Dying Stars

2015-04-30 (News)

"Dying Stars" is Technolorgy’s second album – yet in many ways it is their first. 
Where the debut was in many ways a compilation of tracks written individually and over several years, "Dying Stars" demonstrates the smooth conceptual feel of a record written to be heard as a whole – and steps away from the duo’s dark electro roots in a significantly synth-poppier direction.

Phosgore - Pestbringer

2015-04-29 (News)

The third album of the Phosgore electro outfit will hit the stores. With "Pestbringer", the creative (and blasted) minds behind Phosgore: Flo and Sonja managed to reinvent and augment their already hard-line noise. Brutal bass lines congregate with shattering drums and extremely aggressive melodies.

Noisuf-X - 10 Years of Riot

2015-04-28 (News)

On the occasion of Noisuf-X's 10th anniversary, ProNoize will release a career-spanning retrospective, which features all hits from "Antipode" to the latest album "Invasion". Plenty versions are temporarily out of stock or previously unreleased.

Illegal Trade - Acid For The Royal Family

2015-04-27 (News)

Having established an international crossover audience for their digital hardcore main outfit, Ambassador21 presents Illegal Trade. It seems a perfect addition, a contemporary take at what is hot on the underground dance floor: combining sweeping drum’n’bass elements and brutalist breakcore with agitating hardcore thumps.
