http://soundcloud.com/lautundluise
( ;D --> The journey of the happy fellas of Laut & Luise begins with nightly expeditions through a sometimes way to serious Cologne party landscape. In persuing their goal of transforming this dreary environment into a more color- and cheerful one they join forces with some odd fi gures: happy artists and audiophile equipment nerds alike, anyone who’s willing to experience emotions that can’t be found in everyday life is gladly
welcomed. Laut & Luise represents flawed love for detail instead of straight perfection. It strives for creating new space for this atmosphere and sound beyond the usual borders of party and nightlife.)

The monstrous soul vinyl edition
http://burningworldrecords.com/item/the-monstrous-soul-ltd-ed-green-vinyl-lp2
( ;D --> "The Monstrous Soul" was conceived in Sheffield in 1990 by B. Lustmord and Clock DVA founder Adi Newton. First released by London label World Serpent, it followed the seminal and highly influential dark ambient album "Heresy" (Soleilmoon SOL 9 CD). Although the release dates were barely a year apart, "The Monstrous Soul" marked a turning point for Lustmord, one that mapped the future more than it mirrored the past. Much more digital magic and electronic processing was employed this time, where much of the material on "Heresy" utilized acoustic sound sources and traditional analog recording technologies. "The Monstrous Soul" dedicated itself to creating a environment of gloom in which the listener was totally enveloped by an hour long soundscape best described as a journey through a frozen hell. At the time "The Monstrous Soul" was recorded, the legendary B. Lustmord resided in a squat in London, near the Oval cricket ground, just around the corner from David Tibet, founder of Current 93. It takes little imagination to connect the bleak visual landscape of south London's worst slum to Lustmord's grim electronics. This wasn't simply a fantasy video game soundtrack, it truly reflected the environment from which is came.)

Santa Hates You
www.myspace.com/santahatesyou
www.santahatesyou.com
( ;D --> Santa Hates You is a German based band formed in autumn 2007. Members and founders of the band are the musical icon Peter "PS" Spilles and the enigmatic italian vocalist Jinxy. Legend has it that they first met at the Ohlsdorfer Cemetery in Hamburg, where it is said that they accidentally 'scared the hell out of each other'. Apparently it was then that PS noticed Jinxy's unusual voice, and, well, it seems safe to say that he was quite intrigued by what he heard. After discovering their common passion for dark music, macabre arts and rebellious humor, the two became friends and soon decided to start a band together. Santa Hates You's music is straight forward dark-electro, with industrial traits and extremely danceable beats on one side, and catchy sequences as well as gothic and electro-punk elements on the other. While the band describes their sound as "juicy electronic-gothic-industrial", many others have tried, in the course of the last years, to characterize the Santa Hates You - style.'A musical maelstrom';'The perfect soundtrack to the Mad Hatter's tea party'; 'Bizarre and grotesque like some kind of sexy freak show')

( ;D --> Formed in 1991, In Strict Confidence are once again poised to take control of the electro/industrial scene with their latest offering Love Kills! Led by frontman Dennis Ostermann (Vocals/machines) and Jörg Schelte (machines), ISC once again push the envelope of experimentation and further their own evolution. ISC's distinct brand of pounding beats, harsh vocals and melodic undertones sets a new standard while distancing themselves from all others. Tracks such as "Zauberschloss" and "Kiss Your Shadow" are destined club hits and once again prove ISC as a true pioneers of the modern sound. Also the welcome addition of a female vocalist on "Silent Memorial" and the lending hands of mega producer Bruno Kramm (Das Ich) and Olaf Wollschläger (Paradise Lost, Yello and Melotron) have sculpted and perfected the new ISC soundscapes. The latest ISC offering is a must have for fans of Frontline Assembly, Skinny Puppy and KMFDM.)

Douglas Greed
www.myspace.com/douglasgreed
www.douglas-greed.com/KRL
( ;D --> Over the years, we’ve come to know Douglas as a producer with a rather diverse view on all things electronic. His music is not easily to be categorized, as most of his releases can be seen as exciting fusions of (deep) house, minimal, downbeat, and techno. The same applies to his new album KRL, a collection of 12 mostly downtempo tracks of which every single one of them is a shapeshifting genre-crosser.)
“KRL”
DG_amazon
( ;D --> Douglas Greed’s KRL has become a rather unorthodox album marked by soothing but dark tracks that seem to transform continuously over the course of their playtime. Melodies and fx play major roles in its content, but it’s the overall vibe of each track that had me nailed to the couch during listening. If you’re looking for something special outside the ‘dance-or-I’ll-shoot’ spectrum, then this one’s for you.)

Neon Indian
www.myspace.com/neonindian  
http://neonindian.com
( ;D --> An elusive project from composer Alan Palomo (VEGA). Neon Indian delivers equal parts synthetic nostalgia, dream-pop lullabies, and grinding guitar noise. Neon Indian is Alan Palomo, the Mexican-born, Texas-raised, brilliantly lucid 21-year-old synth-wizard who learned his production chops as part of Ghosthunter and honed them in VEGA. In October 2009 Neon Indian released his critically acclaimed and heralded debut album, Psychic Chasms, nearly anonymously and drew wild speculation for months. As Neon Indian, Palomo has made an art of leaving out the details and letting the world draw its own conclusions.)
Era Extrana
NI_amazon
( ;D --> dreampop pioneer and flaming lips collaborator neon indian releases his new album 'era extrana' with a startling bonus: a mini analog synthesizer designed by bleep labs and the man himself! the synth is a hand-held gadget which features two triangle wave oscillators which can be activated independently or together, modulating each other and swappable controls which allow you to easily attach the included potentiometers or photocells - or a number of other devices - in any configuration to the three oscillators to create all kinds of chaos. 'era extrana' sees the chillwave wizard boldly step out from the synth surf just enough to make himself heard. previous work focused on the hooksome grooves of drum vs. synth, all but buring the vocals but here alan palomo clears his throat and sings out. there's more of an electro-pop angle here which is rooted in vintage 80s synth work and while the production is still lush and blurred by echo and reverb it's a true pleasure to hear the drums hit a little harder and the melodies a little clearer. the result is a crucial pop album that makes you dance and stare wistfully as the sunset falls on a lost summer.)

Breton are the glaring beacons of the mp3 generation; the generation of immediate access to music and visuals, where careers and genres spanning decades, cultures and the globe are spread wide open for the taking, downloading and mixing into billions of individual, eclectic and genre-defying playlists. With such light speed assimilation of influences - spanning from The Beach Boys to Minimal House, Dub-Step to David Bowie, Bjork to East Coast Hip-Hop and a noticeable chunk of Post-Punk, Breton create wholly individual songs, with the end result being a blasting, constantly evolving sonic assault.)

Heavily inspired by genre-breaking projects such as Gridlock,Haujobb, Converter, and Download, Candle Nine’s music is altogether harsh, destructive, atmospheric, and splintered, while all at once being very moving and cerebral. With his mixture of ambient soundscapes, glitched synths and percussion, and shattered IDM-laced breakbeats, Candle Nine pays homage to his influences and ultimately creates a sound all his own.)
