Diamond Version
diamondversion.info
( ;D --> Experiemental dance musicians walk a fine line. On one hand, there’s a drive to push the limits of electronic invention; but then, you can’t ignore the beat. It’s a limitation to a physical, often emotional matrix. Diamond Version embody this conflict moreso than most. The duo, formed of German producers Byetone and Alva Noto, make driving, intelligent floor-fillers that are darkly ecstatic and drain the potential of this vernacular.)

Seabound
www.seabound.de
www.myspace.com/seabound
( ;D --> Seabound is a synthpop/futurepop duo from Germany. Their lyrics are in English and for the most part explore the human psyche and the way that everyday events can affect a person psychologically. Meeting through joint friends, Frank Spinath and Martin Vorbrodt came from different worlds. Because they were so different personality-wise and musically, they weren't certain if a musical collaboration would work. Despite this, they decided to try anyway. The duo quickly discovered that their differences yielded a successful electronic sound that thrived with creative contradictions. They decided to call themselves Seabound because of Frank's love of the ocean and the fact that Martin was born near the shore. The name also implies a ship leaving from a safe harbor into the unknown and sometimes treacherous seas, a metaphor for the band itself.)
Speak In Storms (released on February 11, 2014.)

( ;D --> After a full 7 years of absence, Seabound are delivering a new studio album "Speak In Storms".

However, the band started again 2 years ago, exchanging their musical achievements over the internet, and are almost done with their new album titled "Speak in Storms".)

Flavor of the Week #48

Junksista
www.junksista.de
( ;D --> When two long-time friends, with totally opposite music tastes and backgrounds, decide making music together, the result can only be eclectic, exploding and absolutely contradictory. JUNKSISTA is the burning sonic firework resulting from the clash of the two strong personalities of sexy provocative and electro-addict Diana and highly skilled guitarist and perfectionist studio guru Boog. Hailing from Southern Germany, the duo offers a fresh and electric mix of catchy electro tunes, sexually explicit lyrics, sensual half-sung half-spoken female vocals, funky guitar riffs and tons of bass and synthesizer filled grooves. JUNKSISTA stands for catchy electro-cunt-rock that packs an electronic power punch to the gut. From the spanking industrial beats of dark fetish clubs to the distorted synths of an angst-filled orgy of sweatily dancing bodies, JUNKSISTA know no limits. They explore all forms of musics ranging from good old GARBAGE to 80′s dance through laidback electro; while they can as well spit their dirty silly lyrics onto explosive dance anthems with a gritty bass edge or other lighter electronic pop songs.)

patten

( ;D --> patten first emerged on No Pain In Pop in 2011 with the excellent GLAQJO XAACSSO LP, which saw the producer weave together a tapestry of sounds perhaps best described as a combination of Actress and Autechre filtered through a gauzy autumnal haze. In the subsequent period, the publicity-shy producer has kept a low profile, with no recorded material to speak of, and has instead focused on establishing the Kaleidoscope label, which his broken artists like Karen Gwyer and Yearning Kru during its lifespan.

LIGHT ASYLUM marks Funchess’ and Coviello’s return to the recorded fray with renewed intent, emotion and visceral energy, all to powerful effect. Described as ʻable to hypnotize and hold an audience in a state of bondage’, Funchess has sealed a reverent status through her vocal breadth and captivating expression. Having shared recordings with the likes of Teengirl Fantasy, Telepathe, TV On The Radio, !!!, and Ford & Lopatin, the multi- instrumentalist’s vocal talents stay in steady demand. LIGHT ASYLUM cements Funchess’reputation as a singular voice. From the guttural intonations and militaristic drills to the melancholic leading melodies and operatic tenor, Funchessʼ range remains wide but balanced and carefully controlled.)

#366:A life lived

www.reverbnation.com/366alifelived
( ;D --> #366 A Life Lived might be a new band, the band members are far from newbies. They did hard industrial electro in the nineties as Slug and Headtrip Inc. with demo productions for the latter by Covenant's Eskil Simonsson ("Pure past" 2-track single digitally released on Electric Fantastic Sound in October 2006) and S.P.O.C.K.'s Christer Hermodsson ("MRC Session" 2-track demo). Members shifted and the band broke apart after a gig in Germany in 2001. The 'originals' got together again in 2011 and formed '#366 A Life Lived' with a more experimental electro. Says the band: "We were young, drank lot on gigs and misbehaved. We don't want that anymore. We want the core of music, preferably the electronic version.)

∆AIMON
flavors.me/aaimon
soundcloud.com/aaimon
( ;D --> ∆AIMON is a male/female duo working within the dark-electronic genre to produce atmospheric and unsettling compositions. Following the success of 'AMEN', their 2010 debut, FLATLINER builds upon their previous work by peeling back the frayed edges that flirt under overblown production in order to expose a clearly defined, beautiful intensity.
Wearing their influences on their sleeves, the slow, claustrophobic works fit well within the witch-house movement but will definitely appeal to any fans of cold, dark, and occult aesthetics. ∆AIMON's deliberate and methodical approach plays out like a surgical knife, cutting deep and equally precise with heavy beats and concrete synths. Released by the Bay Area label Tundra Dubs, these six new tracks continue to play with the push/pull structure found in ∆AIMON's earlier works but FLATLINER is set apart most obviously by its passionate delivery. Every vocal line and every explicit layer within the dense orchestrations seem built with a specific intent. Dense and weighed heavily by a bleak and oddly romantic sentiment.)

( ;D --> Best known for his collaborations with Kanye West on two standout tracks from the groundbreaking Yeezus (‘Send It Up’ and ‘Black Skinhead’) as well as high profile remixes for Lana Del Rey and Depeche Mode, Paris-based DJ/producer Gesaffelstein’s solo work reconnects hard techno to its pounding industrial roots.  After earning all manner of acclaim for early EP releases, Gesaffelstein's monstrous recent track ‘Pursuit’ was released by The Vinyl Factory as a beautiful collectors edition with clear vinyl. Its accompanying video has been watched over 1.5 million times. Gesaffelstein's follow up single, the menacing 'Hate or Glory', was similarly seismic in its impact on dancefloors and across the worldwide web. Now comes his eagerly awaited debut LP, a mesmerizing combination of dark techno, industrial menace and elegiac electronic soundscapes that seems certain to catapult Gesaffelstein into the stratosphere and register Aleph as the breakthrough album of the year. It is, without doubt, one of the best of 2013.)
