Although some modern electronica elements and other various influences have seeped into Regenerator’s sound, their unique style has always surprisingly remained intact, revolving around their characteristic shared male & female vocals. Wrex’s sombre melancholic growling vocals indeed always enter in perfect duality with Patrice’s wide ranging and breathy sensual vocals.)

( ;D --> Now though a whole dedicated EP of fresh material from Der Zyklus has been forged for Zone Records, the Paris label overseen by Michel ‘The Hacker’ Amato and Alexandre Reynaud. As Resident Advisor reports, Axonometric comes accompanied by a typically abstract explanation from Donald himself, stating that, “electronic music is based on science and the scientific method is utilized in its creation. Theories and hypotheses are put forth and if they are practical and plausible they will be tested to verify them. Some theories work and some don’t, but no theory is considered too abstract.” Comprised of four tracks, Axonometric is slated for a September release, although we’re yet to ascertain on what formats the music will be available.)

Carter Tutti (Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti)

www.chriscarter.co.uk
( ;D --> Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti formed CHRIS & COSEY out of the ashes of their seminal 70s' Industrial band Throbbing Gristle. Throbbing Gristle (and Carter/Tutti) founded the Industrial music genre and were one of the first bands to successfully fuse electronic and acoustic instrumentation. Their musical legacy is still very much in evidence today. When Throbbing Gristle was terminated in 1981 Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti signed to Rough Trade Records and began recording and performing as CHRIS & COSEY. From the very start they indulgently utilised electronics, sampling, rhythms and Cosey's distinctive vocals, cornet and guitar style. In 1982 (and in collaboration with Rough Trade) they formed their own offshoot record label Conspiracy International (aka: CTI) for their more experimental recordings and collaborative projects. CTI continues to run alongside CARTER and TUTTI's more accessible work.)

( ;D --> Architect is a unique hybrid of idm, electronica and smooth ambient soundscapes as inexhaustibly explored by German mastermind Daniel Myer. Daniel began experimenting with electronic music in his teenage years, and in 1993 he founded the legendary electro-industrial/ebm project Haujobb. Since then he has made a name for himself in the modern electronic music scene and initiated a legion of first class band projects like Hmb, Newt and Destroid – as well as being a permanent member of the renowned Swedish ebm band Covenant since he joined in 2007.
Architect was created in 1998 and can be easily described as the most outstanding and fascinating of Daniel’s projects. The recent release ‘consume adapt create’ is a unique blend of atmospheric idm, cinematic samples, powerfully distorted sequences, ramming electro grooves, razor-sharp breakbeats, and haunting ambience. Daniel Myer demonstrates his astounding compositional skill through his use of surgically placed sounds, unrelenting beats and complex, intelligent arrangements. Creating a powerful mix of both synthetic noise and organic emotion.)

( ;D --> Landside is an Elecronic Music Project between the Italian producers Hunter/Game and the Icelandic band Kúra. The sound comes from a deep vibe and melanchonic ambients (The Silence). It evolves thanks to Kúraʼs Electronic and Dub mood, to an intense rhythm flow (The Storm). While keeping groove as its main element, coming from Techno and House Roots of Hunter/Game Background. Fanney Osk Vocals comes as a clear warm breath in a cold mountain breeze, creating vibrating weaves, intruducing sinths and melodies leads that breaks spaces as an intense storm.)

Beborn Beton
www.facebook.com/bebornbeton
( ;D --> Beborn Beton was originally conceived in 1989 by long time friends and music enthusiasts Stefan Tillmann and Michael B Wagner. With heavy influences from the bands of the eighties, Beborn Beton set out to expand and modernize the sounds of their once heroes. Shortly after Till and Michael joined forces, the then duo, set out to further develop their new endeavor. The result, brought the addition of the final member, former schoolmate Stefan Netschio to assume the role of lead vocals. With all the pieces now in place, the group was finally ready to embark on their own musical journey.
Since the formation, the trio has remained intact and to date have released 5 albums, a remix album and several singles including the megahit Another World which spent several weeks on top of European and American club and radio charts. Now as the band approaches their 13th year they have yet again broadened their scope and we are proud to announce the first domestic release from this legendary group. The US debut album is a Greatest Hits collection of their extensive history soon to be followed by the first new album in nearly 7 years. The masses will soon be aware of why Beborn Beton is considered one of the true pioneers and one of the best bands to ever surface from the German music scene.)

Cold Showers
www.facebook.com/coldshowersband
( ;D --> Cold Showers, a band formed in Highland Park, California in 2010, fuses the brash power of their shoegaze pedigree with the smokey compulsions of post-punk / no-wave ancestors. Cold Showers would fit in well amongst their idols on the Factory or early Rough Trade back catalog, but blend in perfectly amongst the unique foliage of the Dais Records roster. Cold Showers sophomore album out sees the band step up to the plate with more pop sensibility under their belt with the tracks of their new album “Matter of Choice”. This is the pervasive pop mode against which Cold Showers cast themselves, but haven’t fully relinquished themselves from their signature piston-precision rhythms and anthem laden synthesizer illuminations that came about within the band’s formation. After the band released singles on Mexican Summer and Art Fag, Cold Showers signed with Dais Records. In the late summer of 2012, Dais had released the band band’s debut album, Love and Regret, to a storm of industry praise and critical acclaim. After a few successful tours with bands such as The Soft Moon & Veronica Falls, Cold Showers members decided to take some time off to start crafting new songs in a more pop-oriented direction. These songs started to take demonstrational form in a handful of singles and live cassette releases on Dais until the band decided to hunker down in the studio to formalize the songs found on their new album, Matter of Choice, available August 28th, 2015.)

www.twitter.com/dirkdadavo
( ;D --> When kindred souls meet across generations, the result of such cultural crossbreeding is often interesting, sometimes good and, if they really connect on different levels, mesmerizing. As is the case for NE, the collaboration between Dirk Da Davo - he of THE NEON JUDGEMENT fame - and RADICAL G - relentless dark techno producer with two albums and a string of EP's under his belt. There is common ground, of course: both already co-produced tracks with the likes of The Hacker, David Carretta and Millimetric, and made applauded appearances on Dave Clarke's 'White Noise Radio' playlists. But perhaps even more significant: both share a dystopian view on present and future, where it's open season for governments and multinational corporations that seem to have received a license to kill the privacy and freedom of the individual, and a mutual sonic understanding that includes pounding beat bonanzas next to brooding krautrock, marshy soundscapes and twisted dub. So yes, it's dark. And loud. But it's a darkness with a loudly beating heart. Pretty? No. Hauntingly beautiful? Absolutely.)

( ;D --> The enigmatic veteran Icelandic producer Murya (Guðmundur Ingi Guðmundsson) has been hailed as one of the more interesting electronic music output in Iceland by many of his musical colleagues. After catching the attention of the French label Ultimae Records back in 2007 and featured on various electronic music compilations he started making further appearances in the Icelandic electronic music scene. In 2011 his debut mini-album entitled Crystalline Substances saw the day of light. With his finely programmed beats and dreamlike melodies he captivated the fans of melodic electronic music around the world. Alongside proving himself as a producer, he has become a master remixer for local musicians, including Ruxpin, Skurken and Asonat. In the near future we will witness his highly anticipated full-length album on Möller Records, alongside other various releases already in line.)
