SIIE 

https://www.instagram.com/__siie__/ 

( ;D --> Beyond Darkwave duo SIIE's sonic fingerprint, this duo hones in on the blurred horizon where reality ends and fantasy begins. Unequivocally cool, yet cloaked in twilight-like mystery, SIIE's post-punk cuts inspire fans of 80's industrial body music to the strobe-lit club scene spitting out hypnotic four-on-the-floor beats from another dimension. SIIE's sultry vocals enrapture the mind while heavy-hitting synths and rhythmic beats as sharp as a razor's edge take you on a sonic journey through the shadows of the night.)

https://soundcloud.com/defekt-2 

www.facebook.com/DeFeKTelectro 

https://electronicexplorations.org/ 

www.residentadvisor.net/dj/defekt 

( ;D --> Matthew Flanagan is an electro head's electro producer, the kind that releases on niche labels catered to people who like exactly that kind of music. Transmuter, the second EP on Rob Booth's fledgling Electronic Explorations label, is easily his most prominent record yet, and it's got a more accessible sound to go with the territory. "Delusional" is all about the bassline. It's a concrete base for the throbbing distorted percussion, and it's got one hell of a hook, too. There's an unusual amount of space in "Drippin," which is mainly to make way for a metalic chord progression. The track fuses techno aesthetics with Drexciya-style synth blasts. Groove is paramount on Transmuter, and the butt-wiggling style is a direct contrast to the more abrasive elements that make up these tracks. It's most apparent on "Skitzo," which smooths out a searing acid line with an easygoing house strut. The excellent EP is rounded off with a brief diversion into wispy ambience that shows off the other aspects of Flanagans range.) 

Extrawelt

https://soundcloud.com/extrawelt-official 

www.facebook.com/extrawelt.live/ 

( ;D --> The future of powerful, breathtaking electronic music by Extrawelt (Arne Schaffhausen & Wayan Raabe). Their sound incorporates minimal, progressive and techno, aimed squarely at blowing holes in sound systems. With more than 10 Original Productions and dozens of remixes, Extrawelts’ tank-like driving bass lines, powerful drum beats and blend of menacing, droning, echoing synths are impressing everyone from your 8 year old sister to some of the most prolific DJs in the world including Sasha, John Digweed, James Holden and Sven Vath. Early on Extrawelt’s productions quickly caught the ear of James Holden, who signed their first track to his own Border Community Label. James gave the track a working title “soopertrack” which stuck, and soon became a manifesto for their music, producing and releasing dance floor bomb after bomb, through labels including the Iconic Cocoon label, Traum, Great Stuff and Giant Wheel.)

Cyberaktif (Cevin Key. Bill Leeb. Rhys Fulber) 

https://cyberaktif.bandcamp.com 

( ;D --> Cyberaktif, is an industrial super group which consisted of Cevin Key and Dwayne Goettel from Skinny Puppy and Bill Leeb from Front Line Assembly, with guest vocals by Blixa Bargeld from Einstürzende Neubauten. They released the legendary album “Tenebrae Vision” and a few singles, but then they returned back to their own projects. Until now. Cevin Key had been making a lot of tracks for a potential new Skinny Puppy album, but that will never happen now that the band just played their final concert. So he figured, why not use those tracks for something else? And thus Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber were drafted into jumpstarting Cyberaktif again. Swede Eric Peterson, a more recent collaborator of Cevin’s on his latest solo album and the “Silent Hill – Ascension” soundtrack, worked on a few tracks too. Dre Robinson and Guilherme Pires also features on it.)

( ;D --> For over twenty years, Industrial experimentalist aka Suicide Commando has carried the dark electro heritage of acts like Klinik, Front 242 and Skinny Puppy in its heart and musical soul. Bearing these influences on his sleeve Van Roy turned these inspirations into a superb high-octane and highly aggressive, danceable EBM-industrial / dark electro hybrid aiming straight for the club-dancefloors. Over the years Suicide Commando bombed us with numerous clubhits like See you in hell, Desire, Hellraiser, Love breeds suicide, Cause of death:suicide, Bind torture kill … which turned Suicide Commando into one of the dark underground's most beloved dance acts of the last decade. Bombast, extreme power and a critical view on today's society.)

( ;D --> The stars rarely align between Gregor Tresher and Petar Dundov's hectic schedules. But when they do, techno planets collide with explosive results. This earth-shattering production partnership began in 2011 with the still-stunning "Duo Tone" EP on Music Man. A trio of releases have followed during the last three years, including the almighty "Superconductor" on Cocoon 100 last summer. Fresh for 2014, the German/Croatian pact goes next-level with this firing slab of rich, majestic techno on Gregor's own imprint Break New Soil. Living up to its name, "Taurus" ignites with bullish precision. Pummelling with a classic palpitating bass and kick roll, percussive elements are gradually introduced before the shimmering riff enters the fray. Tingling with every twist and tweak, this will raise hairs on the back of every neck with a ten mile radius.)

After the much acclaimed release of [ Source ] in 2007 and two outstanding albums with his other project Carbon Based Lifeforms, Daniel Segerstad immersed himself in his studio and adsorbed his musical influences to compose a truly intimate and picturesque album. In a continuous mix of 10 tracks, crispy electronica flirts with soothing ambient, floating atmospheres and melodies take root in finely crafted synth textures while pulsating bass line and warm rhythms set the pace of this multidimensional musical journey.)

( ;D --> Red Cell - unabashedly a synth-pop band who channel the genre’s pioneers. Their music, as such, isn’t the electronic-oriented, dance-infused stuff currently being heard on the radio. It isn’t even the warm new wave of New Order. Instead, Red Cell are replicating the early musicians who took analogue synthesizers and manipulated sound, and following the works of artists who integrated elements of other genres like progressive rock and industrial.)
