Dragon Reine’ is the 7th album from Brussels-based French musician Dea Hydra’s solo project Luminance. The 2nd album to be released on the Objetrouvé label since “Crystal Magic” in 2021, this new album is a collection of 6 tracks hammered out of the most precious metal, with a precision and obsessive taste for detail. Without renouncing the bituminous darkness of his early years, with synthwave gems tailored for the dance floor such as “Seigneur du Soleil Noir” and “Trop Fragile”, the album nonetheless offers shining rays of unbridled romanticism such as the title track “Dragon Reine”, powerful hypnotic and diaphanous hymns (“Butterflies Someday”, “Le dernier chant des sirènes”) and grimacing hallucinatory nursery rhymes (“Rictus Circus”). Together, they form an initiation tale, pulling us out of cynical, mortifying darkwave and lifting us towards the horizon of romantic synthpop where the imagination shines with generosity.
Swedish EBM hero Celldod is back on Electronic Emergencies with a full album on transparent magenta vinyl! På Liv Och Död is an electronically driven emotional bomb with references to D.A.F. and Front 242. It features collaborations with Leroy Se Meurt from Paris and Michael Zodorozny of Crash Course in Science, as well as Anders Karlsson’s own Swedish lyrics about death and the meaning of life. Each track is a wild invitation to dance away our fears in this complex world of impending doom.
Compiled and released by 22Recordings in 2025, this EP marks the final chapter of Synths Versus Me, the Spanish electronic duo active from 2015 to 2024. Drawn from original analog-driven recordings, this closing release captures their raw, emotive energy and distills the essence of their signature style—blending cold wave, EBM, and synth-pop within the broader darkwave and minimal synth scenes. It features the previously unreleased tracks “So Far,” originally recorded in 2015, alongside the Dark Vektor remix of “Sei Morto,” taken from their final album, Default Mode Network. |
