Death Domain aka Adam Stroupe is a science nerd from Baltimore and, like me, wears it as a badge of honor. His sound is undoubtedly one of the most bewildering, disorienting yet magnetic and infectious slices of downright bleak takes on synth-based dance music. A one man all-live-analog electronic ice machine (who is also behind ‘SIDS’ – Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). His sound is as cryptically raw as it gets – summoning the seminal Industrial/EBM sounds of early Cabaret Voltaire, Skinny Puppy, and The Normal.
One-man post-punk project from İstanbul, Turkey. Miserable music for miserable people. Iceworks is the first full-length album from Icesun, a post-punk band from France. XelaM are an Italian New Wave Electro Music duo formed in the early 1980s, consisting of Monik & Mr. Alex. After many years Monik and Mr. Alex reunited as XelaM to play together in 2018. DSM-V is a project based between Melbourne and Sydney, consisting of Marc Dwyer (Buzz Kull) and Morgan Wright (Burning Rose Records, Pelvis Records). After sharing the stage with their respective acts, the pair started to collaborate and record what would become DSM-V. This first release from DSM-V traverses the usual EBM / Nu Beat tropes by including elements of hard dance and post-punk. Sounds you can blast on a club soundsystem or on speakers at home. The band derives it’s name from the Diagnostic Statics Manual Revision number 5. |
