Analogue synthesizers, tape machines and songwriting that starts out on the piano – Elias Matt & (the) Rescue Mission is old school alternative pop in a time of digitally over-compressed deafness. Matt and his colleagues from Berlin see themselves as an art project with bizarre live performances, strange interviews and unusual promotion campaigns. Their sound is influenced by the „Sheffield Sound“ of the late 70s and early 80s with bands like The Human League and Cabaret Voltaire and German electronic acts such as Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. That's why the band exclusively uses analog synthesizers of this era.

Electronic, analogue, immaculate – CONDITIO HUMANA 2017!

Hard electro band XMH was founded in 2006 by singer Benjamin Samson, later to be joined by Pieter Sperling and Isa Garcia on keyboards. The bandname XMH comes from the word Xenomorph.

XMH released their debut album 'LIFE' in 2006, which stayed in the Dutch Underground Charts (DUC) for more than 6 months! Immediately XMH played at Holland’s major venues building up a strong fanbase. In several
magazine polls XMH ended up in the top 3 of Best Newcomer Bands. In Summer 2007 XMH released their second album ‘TIME TO PLAY’ which got very good response. The cd reached nr. 2 and the song 'Rape Your God V.2’ went to nr.1 in the DUC. Many tracks from ‘Time To Play’ are also featured on several compilation cd’s.

In short time XMH have worked themselves up to become one of hottest live acts from Holland. XMH have already toured in Germany, England, Spain, Holland and Belgium as support for Covenant, Combichrist, Funker Vogt, Blutengel, Project Pitchfork, The Birthday Massacre, The Crüxshadows and many others showing them that XMH can easily compete with the major league.
The energetic live shows have been received very well by audience and media. XMH already played at festivals like Wave Gotik Treffen, Summer Darkness, Gothic Festival, Infest, Terra Gotha, Antronic. XMH has a take no
prisoners, in-your-face attitude with main-focus singer Benjamin Samson, who takes control of the stage and is viciously shouting like a rabid dog on steroids.

In 2009 XMH released a DJ-Only Promo called the Led Manville Remixes which went to nr. 2 in the DUC. In that very same year readers of Sonic Seducer Magazine voted XMH to the 3rd position of the Battle Of The Bands
Competition. In 2010 XMH got signed to Danse Macabre Records and released the cd ‘STATE OF MIND’ which went to nr. 1 in the Vampire Freaks EBM Charts and the song ‘Komasaufen’ went to nr. 3 in the Deutsche Alternative Charts. The cd got very good reviews and XMH was featured in many major music magazines.

During 2011 and 2012 XMH played all over Western Europe and started working on new material. In 2013 XMH got signed to Alfa Matrix. The new XMH album entitled ‘IN YOUR FACE’ is to be released early 2014.
On the new XMH album the band is slightly leaving the agro tech path and moving into new directions. XMH are back on the barricades and ready to grab you by the throat!

I have been active in the Goth/Industrial/EBM scene since the mid 90s. I first got off the dancefloor and behind the decks in 2005. Based in Northern California I has spun in Sacramento, San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland as well as having guest spots in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Stockholm (SE). I also actively search for new music and bands, helping the ones i like by promoting them to an email list of international DJs and American labels/distributors. I generally spins a mean mix of the latest and greatest EBM. I can be heard Saturday mornings on The Grind 1am - 3am PT (4am - 6am ET and 10am - Noon CET) on Dark Asylum Radio (http://darkasylum.co.uk/page/darkasylumradio) and Sunday mornings in The Castle 1am - 3am PT (4am - 6am ET and 10am - Noon CET) and again on Wednesdays 8pm - 10pm PT (11pm - 1am ET and 5am - 7am CET) on COMA Radio  (http://radio.coma-online.com/)
