Borderlands

soundcloud.com/andreas-malik/object-borderlands-album-sampler-2019
( ;D --> Object, Germany’s best kept Dark Electro secret, is back with a new album! “Borderlands”, the follow-up to the critically acclaimed “Mechanisms Of Faith”, which was put out in 2012, is the amalgamation of two projects: Object and the now defunct side project Borderlands. Built out of raw and menacing soundscapes, the new longplayer is a haunting, distorted and melancholic masterpiece of dark electronic Industrial music.
Featuring vocals by Fïx8:Sëd8 mastermind Martin Sane on “Nitrogen Skies” and mastering by 2̵n̵d̵ ̵f̷a̶c̴e̷ 's Vincent Uhlig.)


Fleck ESC

soundcloud.com/theceillar
( ;D --> You could say Tokyo based French artist Fleck ESC has been building up to a full length release on Bass Agenda Recordings. He remixed The Bokanovsky Process in 2013, released the stunning 'Slime Master EP' in 2015, appeared on Touched Bass for Macmillan Cancer Support in 2016 and now...Citizen Cage is here; 11 tracks of top class Electro with which his name has become synonymous.)
Shaping Grey
bassagendarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/shaping-grey
( ;D --> Bass Agenda ends it's 2019 release run as it started, with a release from Tokyo based French sonic craftsman Fleck ESC. His 'House of the Python' EP, released in January, saw him in his more contemplative mode, working with melody, lower BPMs for the most part, and exploring less visited parts of his sound palette. 11 months later we see Franck Collin bringing four tracks at higher BPM, more dance-floor friendly in flavour, and creating machine grooves with a tone and vibe that only he can. As always this is him - no one else sounds like this. Melody and musicality still have a place here - the title track itself features a brilliant dramatic synth theme, building to a crescendo whilst a trademark Fleck ESC driving groove sits underneath. Each track is a real treat for Fleck fans.)

Polygon
heathenharvest.org/2015/12/26/polygon-sein-lernen/
( ;D --> Originally never officially released album of this German top of minimalistic approaches and cold atmospheres. Now, after a long silence, appears under our label in the new audio set. Minimalist procedures in which melancholic moods and experimental blocks weave. Strong melodies and flesh tones that can be stabbed directly into your perceptual apparatus are a great part of this rare material that has been resting in the darkness of the tomb for a long time. Fourteen stories of light and darkness. Dark opus of chimes and hypnotic structures. Dark ambient surfaces encased in electronic transfusions and cold blocks. This album is as a big rarity and also a piece of atmospheric storm of emotions and complex sound experiences.)

Burial

www.hyperdub.net/artists/view/Burial
( ;D --> Burial is an electronic musician from South London. His eponymous debut album was released in 2006 to critical acclaim. The Wire magazine named it their album of the year and it came fifth in the Mixmag 2006 Album of the Year list. On Friday, September 28th 2007, a new Burial album was announced, and Untrue was released 6 weeks later on November 5th. Although both albums have been met with much critical acclaim, Burial remained anonymous until August 2008, stating in a past interview that “only five people know I make tunes”. In February 2008, The Independent reported that Burial was an alumnus of south London’s Elliott School named William Bevan (another alumnus, Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard, said in 2006 that Burial was in the year above him). The school’s alumni also include Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet, with whom Bevan has collaborated.)

Com Truise
comtruise.com
( ;D --> Com Truise is one of the many personas of producer and designer Seth Haley, born and raised in upstate New York and operating out of a 12’-overrun apartment in Princeton, New Jersey. An admitted synth obsessive, Com Truise is the maker of an experimental and bottom heavy style he calls “mid-fi synth-wave, slow-motion funk”. What do you call musicians like Com Truise? He seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like “nostalgia,” “synth-wave,” “eighties,” and “electro-funk” and you’ll scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. How do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern?)

Thomas Barrandon

www.facebook.com/pg/Thomas.Barrandon/
( ;D --> Graphic designer, musician, love of the 7th art ... This touch to everything has flourished through the cinema of Carpenter, Spielberg, the drawings of Topor, BO Edgar W Froese, Wendy Carlos or Brad Fiedel. His universe is characterized by the mixture of these passions ... Cold, nostalgic, melancholic, cosmic and dusty, he is a sort of sonorous neurosurgeon making us travel through time, reminding us of the intimate moments of our lives.)

Pouppée Fabrikk
www.facebook.com/Poupp%C3%A9e-Fabrikk-100329766260/
( ;D --> Pouppée Fabrikk is a Swedish EBM band, started in 1988 by Henrik Björkk and Leif Holm, who both hail from Karlskoga. Initially, the music of Pouppée Fabrikk (PF) borrowed heavily from minimalistic electronic acts such as Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft and Nitzer Ebb, but with the addition of Jouni Olilla and Jonas Aneheim on guitar PF moved towards a more Die Krupps-style electronic/metal mix. The "Your Pain - Our Gain" CD was meant to be released in 1996, but due to differences in opinion between the band and the record company (Energy Rekords) it was delayed until 1999. In 1996 the band decided to take a break and PF was put on hold and the band members worked on various solo projects. In 2000 the band re-united for a gig at the Tinitus Electronic Festival and announced that they were making a comeback and returning to their roots. They released a four track mini CD entitled "Elite Electronics". A year later though, both Jouni and Henrik left the band to concentrate on their respective solo careers. PF disbanded shortly afterwards. After seven years of absence from the scene the band reunits in 2009, Christian R filling the place of former member Jouni Ollila. In October 2010, they once again re-united for a gig; this time at Bodyfest on Fryshuset.)
