Mecanica: Some Have To Dance .​.​.​Some Have To Kill .​.​.​Two

Some Have To Dance .​.​.​Some Have To Kill .​.​.​Two

Second instalment of our compilation focused to obscure techno/EBM/electro. A selection of new and unreleased tracks by six projects from different latitudes. The opening track is a collaboration between Dmitry Distant (Latvia) and Gestalt (Russia) with a dark electro tune that works perfect as warm-up. Deep Pill (USA) offers a versatile technoid tune and Blac Kolor (Germany) closes the A side with a hard and hypnotic piece. Viktor Kalima (Finland) opens the B side with a body music attack, followed by Santiago (USA) with four minutes of pure psychosis and dementia, and Rendered, the duo formed by Daniel Myer (Germany) and Clément Perez (France), closes this sonic trip with a strong and massive cut that will leave you attached to a never ending loop in your head.

Franco Divine

Franco Divine , from the Tomb town of Bordeaux, arrives with a single demand : we must succumb to their deep-fried Techno-Dance-Hall Kraut-electro onslaught. Bardou Jacquet, one half of dark-Synth demi-gods VVVV generates these majestic pounding beats, And Off they fly, careering through the streets, bouncing off the postered walls, echoing around the caverns of his beloved but predictably fading city. Succumb. Give up the ghost. But never stop moving.

Each Month an on-line single will be published with an “A” and “B” side from each of the international artists participating in the project..

Cold Beats Records – A Simple Reflection

Cold Beat - A Simple Reflection

Cold Beat is a San Francisco-based quartet fronted by Hannah Lew (synths, vocals) with Kyle King (synths, guitar), Luciano Talpini Aita (synths) and Sean Monaghan (guitar).

Formed in 2013 the band has released three albums and two EPs. ‘A Simple Reflection’ is a 7-song collection of Eurythmics covers, yet feels just as personal as any of their original material. While digging through a collection of 12″s for her record shop Contact Records, Lew stumbled across the earliest Eurythmics B-sides and was floored. This lead to the discovery of their debut album ‘In The Garden’. Annie Lennox’s abstract and poetic lyrics really struck a chord with Hannah. What had started out as a single cover quickly snowballed into a full blown obsession. The synth and drum programming resonated with her songwriting process, so reimagining them was very creatively fulfilling. The covers on this EP are simultaneously dynamic and atmospheric post-punk that plays to Lew’s ethereal vocals and King’s crystalline guitar.
