feel

One of the compilations of 2023 Curses' Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX saw the Berlin-based Musician and DJ explore the darker side of club music. Bringing together 49 tracks that joined the dots between early industrial pioneers, EBM legends and post-punk bands with some of the most exciting artists around today this was a celebration of the kind of raw electronic music best performed live in smoke filled clubs.

One might suspect that between this and the first equally acclaimed, and substantial, Next Wave Acid Punx album clubland's gothic vaults might be eerily empty. But, just as every good live act knows, you should hold something special back for an encore, and so Curses is back with Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX - Secret Cuts, 11 bonus tracks that all deserve their own moment in the strobe light.

"Curating Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX was a big puzzle," explains Curses. "Figuring out how to fit all these tracks across 6 different 12"s required a lot of calculations and, to be quite frank, I was never that great at maths. Unfortunately this meant we had to cut some real heaters off of DEUX. But Eskimo and I decided that we couldn't let these gems go to dust. I've been DJing them loads in my sets, so it was only fair to share them with y’all to DJ and rage to yourselves. So, here it is... the final blast of bonus tracks for Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX: Secret Cuts."

Featuring the likes of Ghost Cop, Paresse, Nuovo Testamento, You Man, plus a new Curses track and Redux version, Secret Cuts is a worthy companion piece, packed full of the kind of jagged synths, jackhammer kickdrums, heavily gated snares and punk attitude that saw Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX named a BBC 6 Music compilation of the week, score a perfect 10 from Faze Mag and go straight in the record bag of every DJ that appreciates the darker things in life.

Alpha Sect - Haunted Fires [Sinister Desires]

Let's go on a trip through the Bizzarro Universe.

The Hamburg-based producer couple Bizzarro Universe is back on Verflixt Music for their third release. "Speed of Light" is a perfect rollin’ space track. The Bizzarros prove their sense for the dancefloor with a track for the peak time. Keeping the Italo vibes, they delight an uncompromising piece. The female robotic voice in the breaks lets no clue, that you're on a flight through space & time, and the drop comes in like your spaceship hits Speed of Light: Powerful and with a Big Bang.
  
Remix action comes from Louis de Tomaso (Ritmo Fatale) and David Body (Melopee Records, Exploited). Louis gives us a more trancy vision, with slightly 90s influences and those synth melodies he likes. David delivers a more Italo House version with a softer piano synth, perfect for the late summer! 

Smile on your lips; the space party continues!

Malia Nima - Flow

The formula of featuring established artists allied with talented newcomers shows no signs of decline. Both small and big labels have resorted to it over and over, and we simply cannot get enough of it. The reason: It provides the opportunity to keep the pace of the names our ears grew accustomed to plus check in first-hand the work of the generation who is going to preserve our love for dance-floor-oriented music. HEARec is no different. Its rich catalogue fails to disappoint when it comes to combining, successfully, the former with the latter. 

For its 64th episode, the prolific outlet welcomes Roglar, a rising Spanish producer whose previous appearances on Sincopat and Mélopée paved the road for “Sexual Activity”, his debut EP on the Bolivia/France-based imprint.

Premiered here, the solo remix of the release, made with love by Guerrero Sound Machine, comes with the imposing Rock gait of the original but the opera-like vocals, trippy synth leads, and acid layer added by the Bolivian erudite brought the game to another level.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://hearec.bandcamp.com/

Nuovo Testamento - In My Dreams (Powerhouse Mix)

Neil Parnell's Nein Records hits back once a gain with a new release this time by Walentin Pauer. The Control Club resident is presenting his new EP "Dead Silence" featuring remixes by Mmyylo and Shkema.

The original track: a true slow burner with a rolling bassline while on top you may hear evilish tribal snares enhancing the white noise of the hihats. At the same time Mmyylo and Shkema provide unique dancefloor fillers that can easily turn into instant must have tools.

Definitely a 'not to be missed' release!

WL//WH is pleased to welcome Seattle's dystopic industrialist act Chrome Corps, who ceaselessly explore ever-evolving high-energy Electro-Techno and EBM sonic realms, this time peppered with old school Hip-Hop elements, powered by an impactful combination of relentless whipping drum programming along with rumbling crackling bassline syncopations and mercurial rolls of crispy and tinny hitting percussions, jolted by a swirling array of shimmering and noisy synth riffs, over urgently frenetic vocals, assaulted by a whirlwind of off-kilter back-up aggressions, making for an absolute compulsive dance burner.

Get Lucky

In the Grace of Your Love

The sonics inside the metal chamber were at times overwhelming. The factory continued to pump out goods at a rate of flying proportions. They were now the industry leader and the Mu Tai empire was ready to capitalise on the industrial revolution. Soon enough their world of magic would be unleashed upon the unsuspecting, revolutionising the life and times of people far and wide. In his tall tower he observed the work from a glass prism, little did he know that he was being watched. 

X-Coast steps up with a sensational heavy hitting EP on UNDERTHESEA Records. Rave cuts which sit somewhere between beautiful soundscapes and purpose built club destruction.

Kris Baha returns to his imprint since ‘Mind Your Head’ in 2016 with 4 mutant industrial cuts ready for a dance floor of 1. 
‘Behave’ begins with a hypnotic sequence guiding the listener through the piece as sonic sirens screech from the cavernous dystopian wastelands of 2020.  

‘Starts to Fall’, which was finished in January before the epidemic, is a soundtrack of what was to come. A could be dance floor anthem now lost to the ‘could of been’s’ of time. Baha’s signature mechanical grooves start the track off with KB’s androgynous autotune vocal singing ‘Starts To Fall’, punching into a metallic punk wave inspired bassline setting the tone before submerging into the anthemic leads, a call to a brighter future. 

On the B side, ‘Struck’ is the brighter track of the release. High pitched melodic stabs shimmer above the corroded lowlands as 90’s industrial inspired drum grooves inject themselves into the already mutating bass line. Lastly, ‘Isolation’ is a slower BPM EBM cut evidently bleak and cold as forced Isolation and its negative side effects take their toll. The future is...

The new album ‘Another Heaven’ just released with legendary Synth-wave label, Italians Do It Better, co-produced by Johnny Jewel. Curses has also done vocals for Artists such as Âme ('Shadow of Love'), on legendary Berlin-label Innervisions, keeping true to his punk and new wave approach on electronic music. Previous albums released on Dischi and fashion house, Saint Laurent. Curses has brought his unique sound to iconic venues such at DC-10 and festivals like Nuits Sonores and Grauzone, as well his residency at Berlin’s infamous Pornceptual party.
