Lucidstatic - Spaces Between



Press Release
Sometimes you are on top and sometimes you find rock bottom, this is between those worlds. This is the music that filled the spaces between my highs and lows.
This collection of material was written between various projects spanning the last 2 years. The work is instrumental and sample based. I intended the work to be a nod back to my roots balancing between the lighter and darker ends of the spectrum.

Project Pitchfork - Second Anthology / Best of (2CD)
Project Pitchfork - Second Anthology / Limited Edition (2CD + Buch)



Press Release
2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the visionary debut „Dhyani“. 25 years PROJECT PITCHFORK, a quarter of a century of Dark Electro history! Before PROJECT PITCHFORK once again set sail for new horizons, Peter Spilles makes use of this welcome opportunity to enrich the world's most extensive Dark Electro compilation with another chapter. Consequently entitled „Second Anthology“, also this next part is reviewing the unrivalled career of this legendary project. While „First Anthology“, released five years ago, highlighted and reanimated the harsh first steps, the iconic uprising and the justified successes up until the unforgettable tunes of „Timekiller“, Peter Spilles now begins where he left the field: in the year 2002.
Back then, „Inferno“ was released, to this day an extraordinary release that had to compete rather unfairly with the previous mega seller „Daimonion“ – even though it highlighted an entirely different facet of PROJECT PITCHFORK’s body of work. „Second Anthology“ accommodates the status of this special album by including four pieces that have been entirely re-recorded and resung in the studio. Yep, he's serious about that. This ethos holds true for every single one of the 33 tracks on this brimful anthology. All the songs have been remastered and partly remixed. Once more, one cannot help but complimenting Peter pilles: Whether it's „The Future is Now“ or „Fleischverstärker“ off the opulent masterpiece „Kaskade“ (2005), more current smashers like „The Dividing Line“, now sung in duet with Sven Friedrich of THE DREADFUL SHADOWS fame, or the furious „Lament“ (taken from the 2011 opus „Quantum Mechanics“)... these tracks have been so carefully touched and edited as is only possible for someone whose heart is beating for this songs to this day.
The retrospective runs up till the colossal menace of the latest release „Blood“, encompassing twelve years of vibrant Dark Electro history, bundled in a lavish boxing and crowned with a brand new song. If PROJECT PITCHFORK do something, they do it right. This agenda is what made them the leading electronic force of the last 25 years. And this is what will also supply us with massive masterpieces of darkly seducing Electro art in the years to come.

Clicks - Glitch Machine (CD)
Clicks - Glitch Machine (Ultimate Glitch Machine) (2CD)



Press Release
It is rare that it takes as long for a band from being discovered to getting signed as in the case of CLICKS. However, the Polish trio has been working on its debut album "GLITCH MACHINE" for almost three years after gracing the underground with several nifty compilation tracks and remixes. "GLITCH MACHINE" was well worth the wait, though, since the three musicians, Controlled-Collapse-mastermind Kr-lik amongst them, have created an original piece full of modern vibes and minimalist nonchalance. The album is a hybrid of traditional EBM, Electroclash with reserved Vocoder vocals and a pinch of timeless club feeling. Nitzer Ebb, Daft Punk and Anthony Rother may serve to describe the stylistic path that CLICKS explore.
Three bored Poles are responsible for this electronic neck rub, all of them entertaining their individual side projects but agreeing to follow this specific direction with CLICKS: Kr-Lik (vocals, synth, programming), Tomek (drums, programming) and Lukasz (synth).
The title "GLITCH MACHINE" is reflected within the music on the album, balancing perfection, improvisation and digital recklessness. CLICKS are indeed the ambitious, slightly tongue-in-cheek glitch within the concept of Dark Electronics, the cool systemic error. With glitches like them, the whole does not only get more exciting, but tolerable in the first place. As for that, we can say thank you to CLICKS.

Ralp - Cyborgraph



Press Release
Cyborgraph is a collision between analog and digital, hardware and software, complex and primitive workflows.
Ralp uses experimental methods to compose patterns and complex sequences, based on graphic logarithms and pseudo random calculations mixed with lots of distortions techniques. It is basically an exploration of how vintage and modern equipment can interact together.
The artwork represents some pseudo random sequences located in the timeline that he implemented to compose some rhythms.

Advanced Art - Archive (2CD)



Press Release
The legendary Finnish project Advanced Art has definitely entered with all the honors in the prestigious retro Electro / EBM / Industrial firmament, commemorating its thirtieth anniversary of foundation by this unmissable double album. Archive is a realization of fundamental importance for all the alternative record collectors: it contains an extraordinary historical fragment of the European electronic sound, now condensed in a long succession of songs, including rarities and live-tracks which any fan of this band will be proud of possess. Catchy vocal calligraphism, melodies and atmospheres electronically obscure, pulsing drum-programming always interacting with the most compelling danceability, they are the prerogatives of this triumphant discographic creation that will honor the last part of the year 2015 and more. "Archive" is a concatenation of synthetic emotions, the tangible evidence of the value of one of the best bands into the technological oldschool music scene, an album that summarizes years of glory, avant-gardism and true talent. The dual function of this great album is mainly to commemorate the unique style and the uniqueness of Advanced Art, but also to spread their repertoire to the new generation of electro-listeners, still continuing with them the authentic tradition of a sound that never fade. One thing is unmistakably clear: we are dealing with a masterpiece!

Tenek - Smoke & Mirrors



Press Release
Three years in the making, ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ showcases bigger and bolder sounds that have been building from the tenek studio. Each track having a common theme throughout, “Things are not what they seem…” – tenek. This album was designed to offer a variety for both listening audiences (live or on-air), as well as for global sync licensing opportunities. Taking things to a new level, the band enlisted the talents of additional musicians such as: Paul Jackson (bass player from the well-known 80’s British pop band T’Pau), Australian-based Sam Morrison (bass), Michael Steer (bass) and newly added band member Steve Clark (drums/vocals). Since tenek’s second album (‘On The Wire’ – 2010) the 2 recently released EPs (‘Another Day’ and ‘What Kind of Friend?’) were successful tests of the the new direction the band has been taking their music.

Iron Court - Mechanisms EP



Press Release
Dark rhythms, overdriven basses and binaural leads melted together: what comes out is an organic mixture ranging from electronic elements to industrial sounds combined with a mechanical techno approach, a running engine.
Iron Court is led by devotion in synthesizers: a continuous study of the instruments, the haunt for new timbral drifts and a computer drives everything in its place.
Siderurgical beats and working class melodies rise from the bunker and merge to build a blend of harshness and smoothness, a no-compromises trademark addressed to the gloomiest dancefloors.
Ears encaged, feelings annihilated. Few lights here, this music is colder than you think.
