Tenek - Imitation of Life

2016-12-20 (News)

'Imitation of Life' - brings us a bigger sounding remastered track, along with two brilliant remixes: an 80's analogue remix (Nik Hodges) and a darker rock edge remix (Ghostlights/aka Sam Morrison). And then to add something completely different and unexpected to this release - an exceptional piano rendition of "A New Foundation" (Matt Jessup).
'What Kind of Friend?' - comes with two outstanding alternate versions: a hard hitting powerhouse mix with an almost thematic feel from the well known UK composer/producer/mixer (Andy Gray/aka Grayedout), and a second with a most unexpected darker sound for the band (remixed by Martin Swan/Vile Electrodes).
An added bonus is the inclusion of a re-mastered track, "Sombre Friday" that originally debuted on Tenek's first album "Stateless".

Marc Heal - The Hum

2016-12-19 (News)

Debut album from alternative legend Marc Heal, frontman of Cubanate, C-Tec, Pigface and Ashtrayhead. The album features ten brand new tracks recorded in Singapore and in many cases inspired by life in the chaotic megacities of the east.
"Well, it was quite a mysterious process to me. I hadn't been inspired to write music in such a long time. For years I did nothing. Suddenly I couldn't stop. I wrote 16 songs in 5 weeks," says Marc.
Although still using hard electronics and rooted in industrial music, the sound of the album is quite different from the works of Cubanate.

2016-12-14 (News)

"Antologia" is, until now, the last chapter of Escalator, an involving, incomparable saga much more significant if we consider the period and the place where it started and the difficulties of communication connected with the socialist regime. The fact of partial cultural isolation makes Escalator’s ideas and work even much more remarkable and original.
Due to that Escalator's first live act outside Hungarian borders dates back to 2008 at Dessau Beat Club, where they shared the stage with Armageddon Dildos.
Escalator is not only a "cult band", but also one of the most important band in EBM history, a band able to develop a personal journey in a very notable and independent way.
