It's not by chance that those 4 Parisians got their name from the imaginary town where cult film The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, aka the first horror movie ever made, takes place. Both Leviathan's freaky atmospheric rock and Guilt Of Memories and its haunting melody take us on a trip through a savage and stylized hypernuit, where sounds, cold and precise, collide with psychedelic and punk explosions.

From Robert Wiene's tormented film, the band derives an intense - almost erotic at times - romanticism, not far from the morbid vitality of say Porcupine from Echo and The Bunnymen. The 4 tracks on this EP, the first release by the band, are built like a gothic city (another movie comes to mind, Dark City), a universe made of sounds and fury, with an architecture both mineral and endless, gaseous and intimate. Welcome to Holstenwall.

Le Podium is a new series of EP. The concept is deceitfully simple: up&coming beautiful ultra talented French bands on a mission. 4 unreleased tracks. 4 hits. Each volume will be release digitally and on a marvelous super limited colored 10" luxurious vinyl. Holstenwall is Le Podium 3rd release, after La Femme and Splash Wave.





Le Podium#3 : Holstenwall

This is Cocosuma's newest single and it comes with 3 great remixes, taking it in very different directions: gracefully balearic with Oxford's wunderkid Chad Valley, epic and psychedelic for mysterious newcomer L'Espace while french duo Splash Wave showcase their distinctive vintage 80s dance sound.

Must Try Harder (Splash Wave Remix)

Just like last year, and the one before that, the infamous Xmas crew
joined Tahiti Boy and his Palmtree Family for a little offering. New
guests, a sweet video and of course Santa comes in on the chorus!

Forget It's Winter

Splash Wave's Passing Breeze off their first ever vinyl release (Le Podium#2) gets the remix treatment: 7 totally great remixes from superstars from the ubër_underground including the awesome Ben Butler&Mousepad (UK), the handsome Yann Wagner (FR), and the mysterious M.De Graff aka Mikale from Lazer Crystal (US of A).
The original track features Anna Jean (who sang on Bot'ox Blue Steel). Her nonchalant and deeply haunting voice is the perfect match for Splash Wave's synthetic aesthetic and resulting in a beautiful 21st century ballad and it's available there =
