In the summer of 2015 Front 242 opened a remix competition for the same "Take One" classic song.

Congratulations to Ad:Key, Eisfabrik, Kant Kino, Tefonik, Restriction 9 and Digital 440 for being part of the "Detox Static" sonic adventure. And a big thank you to all of you who took part in the competition.

Step by step Norwegian synth-romantics Electro Spectre walk their road to the elite club of the leaders of modern electro-pop. Without the support of the big record labels and booking-agencies, they achieved the almost impossible: today every real fan of ‘classic' electro-pop worldwide has become addicted to Electro Spectre's unique sound creations! On their 5th album, Electro Spectre surprisingly sound very solemn, skillful and even gloomy - this has not happened since their celebrated ‘Pop Ghost' release. Today the band is focusing not only on recording traditional synth-pop tracks, but instead creates a truly atmospheric, deep, multi-layered and sometimes even psychedelic sound at the junction of different musical genres. ‘Beautiful Lies' also catapults the project on a higher level of quality and technical versatility: all vocals were recorded and the final mastering was made in a top level professional studio in Prague. Combining strong, melodic vocals with pure raw vintage synth production, the outcome is unmistakably Electro Spectre; unique and sophisticated pop music that will lure and seduce you.
