Rotersand - Torn Realities

2016-02-05 (News)

Rotersand is a friend who has been accompanying you for a whole decade on your nocturnal hunt’s Post-Industrial amusement. Rotersand is the beast right beside you, twitching, stomping, finally leaping upon you and clinging to you. Want to take us home? The beast can also purr like a black cat if it wishes. The beauty and the beast: an insuperable antagonism? In Rotersand both melt into one with complex elegance. The new single, "Torn Realities", further pushes the reach of Rotersand’s sound, as melodic EBM, trance, and other influences blend with highly intelligent, introspective lyrics.

Dioxide - Specular Mirrors

2016-02-04 (News)

Andrea Bellucci and Andrew Lagowski are two inspired alchemists of electronic sound: they have developed over the years an highly sophisticated, intelligent and futuristic musical perception, constantly seeking a final balance between compositional perfection and an effective autonomous music dynamism, giving to their songs an artificial communicative energy. Through the project Dioxide the two protagonists were able to express the best of their creativity, realizing an album of great interest for the followers of 'braindance': Specular Mirrors.
Eight tracks fully instrumental integrate obscure, highly evocative and atmospheric elements, combining radically electronic structures with other ones classically IDM. Segmented, minimal rhythms and programmed schemes, actively interact with cold digitized modulations, evoking fantastic, cosmic, unsearchable images which transfix the listener's senses, virtually chaining him to the enchantment of these diaphanous frequencies. This release contains the best theorems of the ultra-modern electronic culture: the contact with "Specular Mirrors" is a unique experience that transcends the imaginable!

Metroland - Things Will Never Sound The Same Again

2016-02-01 (News)

In August 2015 Metroland suffered a tragic blow when their sound engineer and very close friend Louis Zachert, the group's Passenger L, passed away. As a personal tribute, Passengers A and S created a complete new album from scratch, where every song, every note and the featured CD art is their way of saying thank you and goodbye to their close friend and fellow passenger. The 11 titles on the album each describe or embody what Louis means to the band in general and to both Passengers on a personal level: his witty e-mail headers, the name of his recording studio, his genuine love for synthetic music, his other musical projects and, especially, life itself. 
When comparing the music on this album to former releases, the listener will surely notice a darker, slightly mellow edge, while rediscovering the typical Metroland sound that clearly toys with sounds from analogue synthesizers, pulsating rhythms and effective samples. 
This 3rd release is not just an album, it's a profound production filled with sentiment and a heartfelt message to every one out there, but to Louis Zachert in particular: "Things will never sound the same again"… This album is not a commercial product. It's an homage, in every possible respect.

Sin Sin - Fairytronics

2016-01-31 (News)

Here comes the first 6-track EP by the enchanting project Sin.Sin. "Fairytronics" invites us into Kristell L.’s magic supernatural world located high up on clouds in the heavens. An intimate and almost introspective world made of rainbows and bright nights and only accessible through the magical power of mixing fantasy with electronic music. 
Known for her work as the lead singer of the goth rock / industrial metal band Lovelorn Dolls, and although she has already collaborated as guest singer with some electronic musicians in the past like Psy’Aviah, Aiboforcen, Junksista, Kristell L., literally opens herself up on this new Sin.Sin project through which she spreads her butterfly wings and reveals a more colorful side of her personality. And her winning teamwork on Sin.Sin with the Italian genius producer Maxx of Helalyn Flowers for both mixing and production gives an absolute twist and spiritual dimension to the project.
