Gabrielle (Final HoS Lineup Studio Demo)
Composed and written by Jean-Pierre Mercier
Recorded at Studio Sequence, Quebec City, Quebec. 1986 

Long time before Handful of Snowdrops released their first and mythical album 'Land of the Damned', this cult band originally from Quebec City had produced, since their beginnings in 1984, an amazing amount of demos, although they had never managed to attract the interest and attention of the big record companies, despite their originality. In that moment, there was not a background or collective in Canada where they could fit... these are the very significant words of Jean-Pierre Mercier, co-founder of the band, in a recent interview in the digital magazine Subterock.com:
" Quebec City was not known for its strong music scene, to say the least. It gave us a kind of freedom and infused us with a carelessness that I’m still grateful to. "

It was never a reason to give up music, on the contrary; 2 years after their formation, they recorded their most famous song, 'Gabrielle', in a different version, in a little study in their hometown, which was later included in their first album. 

With this album we wanted to gather a compilation of some of their best unreleased songs, compounded in different moments but which have the same essence, always encouraged and led by Mercier brothers. All the songs are, up to now, totally unpublished, with the exception of two demo versions former to their first album ('Face to Face' and 'Gabrielle'), and they have been remastered with an enourmous care, as usual, by Yves Roussel.

Edition of 250 copies, no repress. It includes an insert.
Release date: June 1, 2014

Our first 2 vinyl releases will be released simultaneously on 01/24 - a new pressing of Ceramic Hello's cult 1981 LP, and the debut of a new duo from Toronto called Analytica, with some serious early-Depeche Mode/New Order vibes. More info + pre-order pages will be online soon!

We are very pleased to announce that the third publication in the Ex Machina series is now available for pre-order: L’Embrasse is a compilation originally released in 1987, less than 50 copies were distributed at the time through local shops and it is a portrayal of a unique and very little known scene, generated in the deep underground milieu of Amsterdam. None of the tracks presented on this album has ever been re-released after the ultra-limited original edition on cassette format by Top Tape appeared. At the time, a dozen different acts were featured: Menko (S.M. Nurse founder), Robbie Horsfall, Peter Van Garderen (Nine Circles founder), Der Rudi, Antonia (Tonny Timmermans), No Honey From These, Incredible Coöp (S.M. Nurse members), Beatnik Love Affair, Tranquil Eyes, Cheiron, Spin & Kokkie and The Male Ego.

“We had no name for the music we made. Top Tape released the recordings of those hometape sessions, jams and performances on cassette tape in particular.” tells us Menko Konings, founder of S.M. Nurse and Top Tape independent label; “I was forced to start a label (1983) to release my first solo-tape. This is how Top Tape was created. A few years in a row I released music from friends and myself. L’embrasse is a good example of this. (…) We recorded a lot: solo, try-outs, rehearsals, jams, live performances, demos, final versions and spoken audio clips from radio and TV. We also experimented with tapes”.

The recordings offer a fascinating insight into several different independent scenes coexisting in Amsterdam more than 30 years ago, which we can now retrieve on this exclusive edition of 200 units.

Release date: May 25, 2020

Check it out my 3 others soundcloud !!!!

As many friends have charged me along the years and as I have got the experience, I decided to do what I should have done some time ago: To produce and remix my favourite tracks!

I started this work in August 2008 for fun only, then I got the feeling and nowadays I have got 50 remixes done and ready to be compilated on a limited edition of 100 promotional copies.

The projects and tracks to be chosen have been a hard job to me as this is a 27 years of musical knowledge and collecting records (I started when I was 10 years old).

The rules to choose the tracks have been, in a majority, the tracks never remixed previously or remixes very close to the original tracks or very good but too short to my own taste.

Whose tracks and projects to be remixed? As my background is the old school from the Pos-Punk, Industrial, Gothic Rock, Synth Pop, Minimal Wave to Electronic Body Music, then why not to have remixes for these sort of music?

How are the remixes? Well, as they are classical projects of the underground names I decided to keep it to the closest original version in a way that it makes me enlightened to the track, avoiding modifying the original background neither the vocal and melody.

What is going to be the title of my remixes? I like the obscure, the unknown, so why not Dark Side?

I hope you will enjoy this work. 
Regards;

DJ Dark Side
