Claudio Simonetti's Goblin - Profondo Rosso / Deep Red

2015-10-28 (News)

Coinciding with "Profondo Rosso" 40th anniversary, Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin celebrates this anniversary with a new version of the famous soundtrack. The incredible existential and atmospheric experience of Dario Argento‘s films comes from the merging of gorgeously crafted visuals with a soul tingling auditory experience. Once heard, Goblin scores are never quite forgotten.
"Profondo Rosso" is no exception, characterized by its synth heavy sound and chilling central theme. Along with "Suspiria", "Profondo Rosso" is perhaps Argento’s most celebrated film and a classic of the giallo horror subgenre in its own right. A surreal masterpiece from Dario Argento with a pounding score from cult prog rockers Goblin, "Profondo Rosso" ( Deep Red ) will leave you battered and breathless!

Psy'Aviah - Never Look Back/Words

2015-10-26 (News)

With "Never Look Back", Yves Schelpe will surely surprise everyone by revealing the first song from his forthcoming new Psy'Aviah album "Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars". More eclectic than ever, Psy'Aviah decided to put his hidden trip-hop side under the spotlight, featuring the unique voice of singer Ellia Bisker from the jazzy act Sweet Soubrette. A musical approach without any genre boundaries that he even reinforces on "Words", an exclusive non-album song featuring the talented Jamaican female singer J. Airi who adds her Jamaican reggae spice. 
With this quite depressive and sorrowful modern jazz electro pop EP, Yves Schelpe takes his life back into his hands and blows a glimpse of hope, forgetting the past and moving ahead towards a brighter future… And once again, he found the perfect highly emotional vocalists to express these darkish melancholic feelings. Throughout the 5 bonus remixes, this release progressively brings us closer to the stars and their brighter moments of happiness and relief. Starting from the wonderful fairy-tale interpretation of "Never Look Back" by mister Jean-Marc Lederman (ex-The Weathermen mastermind) and the dubby electro rework of "Words" by B-Sights (Dizkodude producer) towards more and more enchanting and shining dancefloor moments through the club oriented remixes by house producer Gavril and electro dance DJ Simon Carter to finally end-up with a more experimental electro-industrial rework by Baterist Sintetic.

Blutengel - In Alle Ewigkeit

2015-10-25 (News)

Right on time for the second leg of their tour in support of their top-5-album "Omen", Blutengel are  gifting their fans with new material. With three brand-new hits, 2 club-compatible collaborations, a rework of a classic tune, a remix and two unreleased demos, the mini album "In Alle Ewigkeit" clocks in at LP-length.
"In Alle Ewigkeit" is a special gift to all Blutengel-fans in many different ways. The title track is a perfect opener, with its club-compatible mix of cold gloominess, emotional depth and an anthemic chorus on a solid foundation of powerful Electronica and quickly establishes itself as the legitimate successor to the group's mega-hit "Reich mir die Hand." The captivating re-work of the classic "Weg zu mir" combines past and present in a highly impressive way, just to be followed up with "Between The Lines", another Blutengel-smash-hit that hearkens back to the early days. "Kinder der Sterne" is an anthemic duet with tour-support Meinhard, while "Insane" and "Nightlife" aim at the clubs with heavy beats and distorted vocals. An alternate mix then shows the title song from a different perspective before the mini-album comes to a close with two demos from the recording sessions for "Monument" which give fans the unique opportunity how the songs have developed from the first recordings to the versions that would eventually find their way onto the album.
