The ninth installment in the MEGABREAKZ series dives headfirst into the raw energy of early industrial. A rhythmic discharge straight from the golden era of industrial new beat and industrial dub: rusted percussion, toxic delays, and sweat-drenched basslines. Velax channels the raw spirit of Chicago’s most abrasive scene, Wax Trax!, where beats were machines and noise had a body. But here, everything is filtered through the dub haze of the UK’s early counter-scene, with fractured echoes in the style of Keith LeBlanc, crafting the ideal soundtrack for a crumbling factory. Grit, groove, and distortion as the only possible language.

Renowned for his visceral work with HIGH-FUNCTIONING FLESH, Greg Vand dives deep into the experimental proto-industrial with his solo project NEWBOY, revealing a darker, looser, and more hypnotically unstable side of the music machines. “The Color of Everything” is a transmission compilation with cracked circuitry, lysergic funk, warped tape hiss, and urban hallucinations.Think Cabaret Voltaire jamming with Bourbonese Qualk, Ike Yard, and Esplendor Geométrico: a mutant rhythm ritual for abandoned clubs and alleyway rites. This is rhythm as both weapon and escape. A dystopian groove engine primed for fans of the avant-garde, the unstable, and the underground, all tuned into the fractured future of dance music. Announcing VHT62: Un Sombrio Heredero from Efigie (Santiago, Chile). This is a side project of one of the members of Parasomnia, and we’re delighted to take you on another rare dungeon synth adventure through the gloom of ruined, overgrown cathedral colonnades. Follow the story of our gloomy protagonist as they descend into the depths of haunted crypts, confronting liches, zombies, and maybe even a wayward necromancer, at last laying claim to forgotten esoteric secrets. Two years after the previous edition, here comes the third (and probably last) volume of our glamorous compilation cassette series. 10 bands from 8 countries from Europe and North America, with exclusive songs, previously unreleased tracks and songs that were released online/digital only, now it’s the first time in physical format. A great selection from the contemporary international minimal synth / darkwave / coldwave / wave body music community. We have exclusive songs from the Dutch Staatseinde and Greek Paradox Obscur, previously unreleased tracks from the Austrian/Turkish Zack Zack Zack, the German Delta Komplex and Oliver Decrow and the French Poison Point, as well as previously online only songs by the Hungarian Synthetic Destiny and Separated Lamb, the American More Ephemerol and the Canadian No. 40 minutes of electronic wave pleasures again. Nearly five years after the release of ‘Sci-Fi Sky’, Lebanon Hanover has produced your favorite soundtrack for a visit in a psychiatry clinic: ‘Asylum Lullabies’. This is the evolution of an even colder, more caustic sound by a band that has dominated the Post Punk landscape for over a decade. ‘Asylum Lullabies’ is a very heavy album about dealing with mental health struggles, a breakup and ongoing wars and the current horror in the world ultimately leaving one consumed with dread, fear and a constant feeling of being crushed. Everything falls apart at the same time. |
