Somatic Responses - Folding Space

2016-02-09 (News)

Five years after the breathtaking album 'Concrete Glider' Somatic Responses present a new masterpiece 'Folding Space'. The welsh duo throughout the fourteen tracks introduce a heavy crossfire of various electronic music styles between cinematic ambient soundscapes, melodic acid influenced technoid electro, aggressive idm / breakbeat and powerful industrial. Gentle harmonies, abstract syncopation and frenetic distorted beat patterns drastically take turns resulting in a diversified kaleidoscope of moods within more than 75 minutes.
Once again Somatic Responses have produced an excellent album which is harsh and subtle at the same time and which combines nocturnal gloom with radiant luminance.

Blutengel - Nemesis-The Best Of and Reworked

2016-02-06 (News)

There is hardly any wonder that Blutengel-mastermind Chris Pohl, when faced with the proposition of releasing a compilation of his greatest hits, started asking himself the question: "what would our classic tunes have sounded like if we had had today's technology and know-how at our hands, back then?" And as a the standard "best of"-fare always has the bitter taste of a cheap cash in, the idea for "Nemesis" was born and Blutengel started re-recording a selection of their favorite hits from their early days from scratch. The result is nothing short of impressive, as classics like the seminal "Black Roses", "Vampire Romance" or "Engelsblut" are not only reinvigorated, but gain a completely new and mesmerizing identity of their own. The new versions experience make revisiting the favorite Blutengel blasts from the past an adventurous and enthralling experience.
With "Nemesis - The Best Of & Reworked", Blutengel are not only releasing their first official Greatest-Hits-Album, but also a rather special kind of history lesson, presenting classic songs, hits and favorites from the past in the sound of today.
Also available as a deluxe double CD, double vinyl and strictly limited fan set featuring an exclusive bonus DVD with all official Blutengel-video-clips & an exclusive logo medallion.

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!
