Hecq - Night Falls

2016-02-16 (News)

This monumental release in Hecq’s discography is now available for the first time on vinyl format as a beautiful limited edition of 325 copies.
The twelve original album tracks, finished with Christoph Berg's remix of the title track, have been elaborately remastered by Ben Lukas Boysen to apply a more contemporary sound standard.
The initial release of 'Night Falls' in 2008 presented an important change from Ben Lukas Boysen's previous catalog of work. With outstanding production and masterful control of individual sound techniques, this album marked an artistic turning point for Hecq who raised the bar from a mere post-industrial idm producer to a contemporary modern classical sound designer.
 

Iszoloscope - False Vacuum

2016-02-15 (News)

Since the beginning, a distinguishing feature of Iszoloscope has been the addition of intelligent and unexpected details to the basic ingredients that industrial music is known for. This, the project's seventh full length album 'False Vacuum' raises the already high bar Yann Faussurier set on his previous releases in a most astounding way.
Within these nine tracks Iszoloscope is establishing ties between a myriad of different styles ranging from solemn orchestral constructs and rich dark ambient soundscapes to sequenced hard-hitting technoid industrial rhythms and fast remorseless drum and bass beat structures. Accompanied by many personal changes it took Iszoloscope nearly six years to complete this opus, and after taking a deep view everyone will agree it was worth waiting for.

Jérôme Chassagnard & Jérémie Mathes - Outer Dialog

2016-02-14 (News)

For the creation of 'Outer Dialog' Jérôme Chassagnard decided to work with someone he musically and personally admired. For this reason he worked with musician, composer and good friend Jérémie Mathes. Jérémie had already participated on 'Inner Dialog' and had a breadth of experience as a solo artist himself, and he was able to add a number of different musical points of view to Jérôme's already detailed concept.
The music on this album is a logical continuation of its predecessor as well as conceptually expressing the other side of the coin: ambient electronica and shoegaze spheres counteract with intense rhythm-oriented idm textures while the sound is focused on extroverted beat patterns. A fascinating interaction between soothing beauty and stirring, powerful force.
'Outer Dialog' is intended as a partner to ‘Inner Dialog’, to meld both albums as one associated work, illustrated by a correspondent artwork style, typography, and an identical number of tracks. An engaging opus which captures every bit of your attention.

Nattskiftet - Aceton

2016-02-13 (News)

Nattskiftet from Gothenburg release their debut EP. The band quickly became the talk of the scene in Sweden after their performance at the Electronic Summer festival last year. Later in the autumn they also opened for legends Atari Teenage Riot. The music is danceable classic EBM with a pop-feel to it. The tracks are all super catchy and the remixes from Spetsnaz and Xenturion Prime are strong dancefloor material. Nattskiftet are brothers Christer and Lars Björndahl (also known for their italo act Disco Digitale), Tobias Eliasson together with Anna Johnning. Nattskiftet is for sure one of the most interesting new things to come from Sweden in a long time in the EBM-scene. A new injection so needed in the scene.

Frl. Linientreu - Transformation

2016-02-12 (News)

Nearly six years after Ina Peters a.k.a. Frl. Linientreu released her fascinating and very personal album 'Lifelines', the musical biography continues with her third full length release 'Transformation', a release that documents changes in her work and private life as well as her recent musical status.
The thirteen tracks on this album not only deliver a wide range of moods between relief, thoughtfulness, tension, anger and frustration, but also channel the will to go on, intensified through the use of heartfelt lyrics in German. Industrial, ambient, technoid electronics, blissful idm and minimal are featured in Frl. Linientreu's own unique way where classic musical influences from pioneers like Kraftwerk are also perfectly integrated and processed.
A highly emotional and versatile release where the lucidity of the digital age clashes with analogue roughness and a title whose different meanings like metamorphosis, change or realization are all relevant and correct.

Estonian Dark-Electro-pioneers Forgotten Sunrise return with a brand-new single which shows them from their most accessible side. The perfect appetizer for an upcoming album release.

The single includes the original and 3 remixes created by Millimetric, Leæther Strip, and Wychdoktor.
