A track that was heard everywhere from the big gun sets at festivals to the dingy backrooms of clublands underworld-months before it officially came out-Shame Cube caught the ear of the more intelligent modern clubber with its unmistakably Sian style vocal creeping into a densely textured mash of beats and bass wobble.It marked a segway further into our dark and edgy strobe lit world inhabited solely by Octopus and its henchmen.Having already wrestled into the number 2 spot on Beatport Techno Top 100,we felt it a likely contender for a fan remix contest,and we assigned Marc Houle and Oliver Huntemann the tasks of leading the way with their insanely creative interpretations,plus we opened the doors to hordes of fans to appear on this ep alongside the talented trio of producers,and selected a winner named Philip Lowenbek,who´s truly left field mix won us over with a straight-up adventurous attempt.Outstanding reimaginings of a new school cult classic tune,the mixes harness the vibe and stay true to that disturbingly catchy call to arms vocal ¨when will you look at yourself?¨.

The first single from Sian’s upcoming album, Chaos, sees Sian and Bobby Nourmand release their collaboration, "The Language" - a bold plunge into the visceral edges of indie dance. Anchored by a quaking bassline and crystalline synth stabs, the track pulses with raw, almost primal energy, tailor-made for sweat-soaked basement club dancefloors. Its ferocious rhythm and subtle textural shifts create an immersive narrative, while the lethal vocal evokes voodoo-like incantations.

The third single from Sian’s album Chaos, Sian & Dark Heart’s “Blacklight” is a relentless plunge into the void, where Sian’s raw, industrial techno edge collides with Dark Heart’s pristine, cinematic soundscapes. David LeSal’s spectral vocals—equal parts ethereal and visceral—pierce the track’s churning, subterranean basslines like a solitary flare in a dystopian rave. The result is a primal, almost feral energy, precision-engineered for the nocturnal pulse of sweat-drenched dancefloors.

Blacklight

Sian, Oysher, and Hiroko Yamamura’s “Champagne”, the fourth single from Sian’s Chaos album, is a formidable techno excursion that channels the genre’s raw intensity with surgical precision.
This collaboration fuses Sian’s industrial-leaning production with Oysher’s intricate sonic layering and Yamamura’s deep-rooted Chicago house influence, resulting in a track that is both cerebral and commanding.
“Champagne” drives forward with a pulverizing bassline and stark, distorted synths, evoking the atmosphere of late-’90s rave culture. A subtle infusion of acid house elements adds a layer of historical depth, grounding the track’s futuristic edge.
The trio’s embrace of controlled disorder—marked by glitchy textures and rhythmic unpredictability—gives the track a haunting, immersive vibe.
