Control Alt Deus was an aggrotech / harsh ebm / futurepunk act from Lisbon, Portugal by AMK and Hex. They featured an EBM base, trance inspired sound-structures and punk attitude. 

However, they also added innovative elements of drum n bass, electro-industrial, synthpop and more.

The Tuxtla Gutiérrez duo, Red Deviil, joins SYNTHICIDE with their EP, Vida Bandida. Producers Guni Ca and BlakG deliver fresh tracks of slick EBM—a style they’ve become known for in underground circuits. Vida Bandida begins with the new beat swing of “Garrobo.” Its vehement energy is emphasized as rampant basslines heave overtop crushing snares and a thunderous kick. “Beliko” is fueled on a forcefulness that courses through its veins, pumping a severely danceable beat alongside haunting vocals that are reminiscent of Adi Newton from Clock DVA.

Side B begins with “Rush” that seeps in pure, hypnotic sensuality. With brassy synthesizer calls and answers, its running bassline undulates and simmers as it boils overtop the strict rhythm. “Vida Bandida” is EBM at its most X-rated: its sterile bassline and the urgency of the track's atmosphere build to a precipice with the addition of near-orgasmic vocals. The Berlin-based Randstad's remix of “Vida Bandida” speeds up the track to a trance-like mesmerism, putting emphasis on the vocal that surrounds and seduces.

The Vida Bandida EP creates a boiling tension from its inception to the very end. Here, Red Deviil acquired fragments of sweat from the dancefloor, a syrupy carnality that can only be found in a mass of bodies moving to the beat.

Cárcel de huesos y sangre
Configuran la sumisión
Ya no hay promesas en este instante
Somos entes en desolación

Sentimientos atroces
Proclaman mis sentidos
Se agotan las razones
Se pierde la pasión

La culpa y el dolor
Invaden este corazón
La desgracia y el rencor
Condenan este corazón
En la prisión
Mi prisión

Un cuerpo inerte
Pobre de su noción
Desahogándose en mente
Sentimiento y pasión

Una mente en distorsión
La condena es su prisión
Ya no hay tiempo para el perdón
Solo queda la ilusión

La culpa y el dolor
Invaden este corazón
Este corazón
La desgracia y el rencor
Condenan este corazón
En la prisión
Mi prisión

Vacíos Cuerpos - Prisión

Three years after his contribution to Banshees Records, Madrid-based producer Silicodisco returns to the Toledo-based label with a new release and a different ally. If in the first release he teamed up with Cantabrian producer Parissior, on this occasion he teams up with Luis Bonías, a veteran DJ and producer from the Valencian scene. Bonías, now under his alias Bias, has been involved in most of the mythical Valencian venues and has participated in and released a significant number of releases. However, although his records have diversified a lot during his career, this collaboration with Silicodisco confirms the potential of both of them to work with contemporary EBM or with the sonic qualities of industrial and techno.

With three original tracks and a couple of covers by two Spanish projects, Alen Skanner and SM Forma, this five-track collection explores very different perspectives and influences, although the result shows a great affinity between the tracks.

Industrial Walls Of Jericho, the opening track, exhibits a sound and style that fits perfectly with dark wave and industrial electro, however, Alen Skanner's version confirms that there is a context, which is further enhanced with this remix, more akin to goa or psychedelic trance, and indeed, Alen Skanner moves his version completely into this realm.

Primal Tension, the only track without a replica, is nourished by a forceful punch, the strength of the sub-bass and the bass line, although its development involves very disparate locutions, arpeggiated structures or evasive textures. As for Looking For The Residents Motion, the original cut is cerebral and architecturally twisted and complex. SM Forma also adds to the chaos with its remix, although structurally it is a much more ordered and dancefloor-friendly version.

Release date: November 1st, 2024.

SynthAttack - Insomnia (Dark Remix)

The Swedish duo Harlem, composed of Martin Thomasson and Johan Skugge, is a project with more than two decades of history, though its trajectory has been marked by pauses and significant sonic transformations. In its early days, the group explored the realms of techno and electro, crafting a dynamic and avant-garde sound within the electronic music scene. However, after a period of inactivity, Harlem resurfaced in 2021 with Bait, an album released through the Italian label Veyl that marked a turning point in their musical evolution.

Rather than returning to their original identity, the duo emerged from dormancy with a darker, more abrasive approach, leaning toward EBM, new beat, and industrial electronics. This stylistic shift allowed them to connect with a new audience and fit perfectly within Veyl's sonic universe, a label known for its shadowy aesthetic and penchant for raw, atmospheric sounds.

Since then, Harlem has continued refining this new direction, delving into dense, tension-filled soundscapes where hypnotic rhythms and industrial textures intertwine, creating a sound that is as energetic as it is unsettling. And although four years have passed since their last appearance on Veyl, and they have even evolved their name to Harlem Electronics, the essence of standout works like Bait, as well as their subsequent releases on labels such as Body Musick, remains alive in Cage. With this new eight-track LP, they reaffirm their identity once again, pushing even deeper into their signature dystopian electronic sound, blending abrasive textures, oppressive rhythms, and an atmosphere that is both hypnotic and menacing.

With a vast trajectory spanning diverse genres such as dub and minimal techno, Harlem has developed a sonic identity that defies categorization. In this project, Martin Thomasson and Johan Skugge fuse elements of electro, no wave, post-punk, disco, proto-body, dub, hip-hop, and grime, shaping a mutant sound in constant evolution. Their new LP, Cage, is a work that moves between chaos and structure, darkness and hedonism, abstraction and physicality.

Release date: February 7th, 2025.
