Press Release In the summer of 2015, when announcing the upcoming release of the much awaited remastered version of their “No Comment” album due to arrive in spring 2016, FRONT 242 not only offered the unreleased RADICALG remix of “Take One” for free to their fans ( alfamatrix.bandcamp.com/album/lovely-day-remastered-take-one-radicalg-mix ), but also opened a remix competition for the same classic song as well. Overwhelmed by the success of the competition and the several hundreds of remixes that got sent to Alfa Matrix, it took us much more time than initially expected to get all of these competition entries played to the various jury members and eventually reach a final top 3 of the most favorite remixes. Today to thank you all for your much appreciated patience, we are proud to release with FRONT 242 the free “Detox Static” EP exclusively available only through Bandcamp. It features a remastered version of “Take One”, plus the remix work by the 6 (and not only 3!) first winners of the remix competition. 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. Enjoy this EP until we soon announce the upcoming remastered versions of several iconic FRONT 242 albums showcasing the band’s innovative sound in its best audio quality possible today. You will be able to hear these albums on vinyl and cd with the improvements or differences permitted by today's audio technology. And 2016 being a very special year for both FRONT 242 and Alfa Matrix, you can definitely expect the unexpected! There is so much more to come... Stay connected!
Press Release FRONT 242's "Vintage Tour" concept was so well received across the globe that it is actually still running today... During the last couple of years, Belgium's very own pioneers of electronic music, FRONT 242, performed live in front of many thousands of fans, all impressed by the early electronic music atmosphere they bring on stage through these good old analogue sequences the band has reloaded to match the spirit of their time... FRONT 242 indeed comes from a different time, when working with electronic music was difficult, the machines were hostile and humans needed to interact strongly with synthesizers to master their art - Music required discipline. Since the early 80's, FRONT 242's ever-growing fanbase has always proven to be the 5th member of the band. A unique communion between fan and artist that has grown and matured over the course of 3 decades. An interactive relationship that has displayed its intensity during every "tour de force" live performance where the energy of the audience seamlessly unites with the energy of the band, together creating an incredible experience. Patrick Codenys, Daniel B., Jean-Luc De Meyer and Richard Jonkheere again offer us another treasure: their very first live Moments in the band's history in Budapest, Hungary filmed on December 6th 2008 by the amazing team of Steve's Black Head Agency. We invite you to discover this exceptional second official FRONT 242 live DVD immortalizing once more the legend and genius of FRONT 242. 81 minutes of live show plus some extra's including interviews & and a photo gallery...
