Let's Watch It Fall  (a duct-ape mix-tape)

EBM/Industrial is no subordinate to Techno and existed well before the term Techno was even coined. Techno can go and f*** itself ;) I can even live with IDM but Techno is totally unacceptable. Btw EBM/Industrial is never illusional or disconnected from stark reality and never promotes usage of psychedelic drugs because the drug is the music itself. Beware: Massive full frontal EBM attack (protect your crown jewels or whatever is of value to you). Aww lots of listeners from Belgium, I am honored. All of you are welcome to the exciting world of EBM/Industrial ;)

Premiere: Past Futura - I Don't Wanna Dance [Ulla Records]

Playground is releasing a very special compilation to celebrate nine years of life. A musical journey shared with dear friends, which expresses the living history of the label from its origins to the present. From the first illegal raves in Buenos Aires, to becoming an international artist's platform based in Barcelona. A long process of learning, growth and consolidation have passed. Nowadays, with an extensive catalog of more than 40 references Playground has a solid story to tell, always selecting an eclectic criterion and betting on diversity. Each launch reaffirms the commitment with an aesthetic freedom beyond any label.

The '9 Years Compilation' faithfully expresses our history, but above all our present, always with an eye looking to the future. 15 new original tracks carefully chosen to create a polychromatic musical adventure, with diverse nuances and intensities. From downtempo songs to listen at home, through music inspired by the new wave, the creative force of the jungle, the power of organic elements and psychedelic experimentation to the most convincing music for the club.

In this opportunity we advance in exclusive the powerful single from Local Suicide & Franz Matthews.

The comp is coming guys, stay tuned !

PREMIERE : Local Suicide & Franz Matthews - Love Terrorist

Nothing Is Real Records (@nothingisrealrecords) celebrates spring with another great Mexican producer, Alfredo Cardenàs aka Montessori (@montessorimusicmx), already recognized for his Rhythmic enveloping and energetic style of productions. The quality of his music caught the attention of many producers, djs and dancers in the game. The Montessori EP is formed by 4 dancefloor oriented tracks.

The main track ‘Glue In The Sand’ is a perfect example of modern indie dance, with the fresh addiction of trippy synths and fx, the tailored vocal of Vongold (@nvongold) captures the attention of the listeners giving a lovely shape. Instead ‘Digital Mind’ is an obscure dark piece of dance music with a special tech flavor, perfect for the need of pushing more when the crowd is ready.

You can immediately hear the desire of experimenting different roads on the arrangement from the German duo Peter Invasion (@peter-invasion) and Gregor Habicht (@gregor-habicht) on their remix of Glue In The Sand: the work on electro elements and the sliced pieces of vocals are simply unique, a solid inprint from the producers.

Astroloop is on board remixing Glue In The Sand with a simple but effective bassline, gated synths and acid moments trying to maintain the moving of the track with the change of elements.

Blending electro, EBM, industrial, and dark techno, Colombian producer Magnum Opus, aka Felipe Novoa, channels intensity and melancholy into a raw yet deeply melodic sound. Pulsating rhythms, driving basslines, and immersive synth textures shape a sonic journey that is both restless and cathartic.
This release transforms emotion into movement, crafting a space for introspection and dance floor energy alike. Sharp percussion and deep, evocative melodies merge into a powerful expression of darkness and release.
Featuring remixes by Abby Knives and In Atlas, the release arrives on April 4th via Wie Ein Gott Records.

Discarnate - Smothering The Light EP - dscrnt.bandcamp.com/album/smothering-the-light-ep

Emerging from the gloom with a sound steeped in shadows, Discarnate's debut release "Smothering the Light" is a descent into the beautiful and the broken, where memories are ash and hope is long since extinguished.

"Smothering the light
Hope is my enemy
Choking on the poison

Feeling fractured
Dismal and tragic
A wasted joke
Unfulfilled

Disillusioned
Desperate and hopeless
A hungry void
Feeding on the misery
 
I believed
I could be more than this
And i hoped
It might all work out

And i dreamed
Because i was asleep
Asleep at the wheel

I can never face it
Too pathetic to change it
Twisted and jaded
Always half faded

I believed
And I hoped
And I dreamed
But I dont anymore"

I Shoot And I Miss

yesterday i saw you walking away
from me

do you think i will miss you 
do you think there's a chance
do you think you'll  come back 
for me

do you think i care
that you walked away...

Don't Care

TL Premiere #1980 (2025.08.24) : Incendie - Counterfactuals [Soil Records]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Release Info :

Incendie - Dawn Mist [Soil Records // SOTA081]

Incendie is the moniker of Berlin-based producer, DJ and Area Z manager Arthur Bdt.
Through his productions, DJ sets and collaborative projects (A.T.T.Corp, Human Spine), he aims to convey harsh, cinematic and introspective atmospheres drawing influences from Techno, Post-Industrial, Post-Metal and experimental music.
After releasing his debut album via Under My Feet in 2021 focusing on post-industrial, IDM and experimental sonic elements, he released two Techno-EBM EPs via Aufnahme+Wiedergabe and X-IMG, along numerous compilations appearances, DJ sets and live actions around Europe. He made his debut on historic rhythmic noise label HANDS this year, and recently played Forms of Hands festival, Bunkernoise and opened for Iggor Cavalera.
His next work 'Dawn Mist' will be released via the established spanish label Soil, and will show a brighter side to Incendie's productions with the two melodic techno tracks, Secular Dawn and Decaying Realities, as well as the electro-infused Stress, before coming back to Techno-EBM with Counterfactuals and Erosion of Trust.
To complete the release, Barcelona's bats SM Forma provided a powerful Techno-EBM remix of Secular Dawn, Bruxelles-based industrialist Ottoman's Grüw a haunted take on Counterfactuals while the label's boss SOJ delivers an ecstatic variation of Decaying Realities.
With light shining through the productions like never before in the musician's discography, it rather captures a period of life where love and significant friendships flowed into his life, rather than a change in his musical direction. It symbolizes a moment where it felt easier, hence the necessity for him to share a relic of this brighter side of his music influences and productions.

Dawn Mist

Counterfactuals

TL PREMIERE : Incendie - Counterfactuals [Soil Records]

Spammerheads, the Valencia-based duo known for their raw electronic sound, have been steadily cementing their reputation as one of the most solid projects in the new Spanish EBM scene. They now return with The Mire Chronicles. This new work, released by Banshees Records, is a sonic artifact born from catharsis. In the wake of the devastating floods that struck Valencia in October 2024, the group not only lost part of their studio but also witnessed the destruction and the subsequent wave of solidarity firsthand. From this traumatic experience, loaded with conflicting emotions, emerges their most personal, cohesive, and powerfully moving album to date.

If their previous work, Disclaimer (2024), certified them as a leading force in EBM, The Mire Chronicles deepens and expands that sound with a visceral narrative. The band maintains its unmistakable backbone of relentless sequences, abrasive basslines, and an industrial atmosphere inherited from the old school of the 80s.

However, here they incorporate nuances and textures that reflect the album's emotional journey. Powerlessness and shock are translated into desolate soundscapes and heavy, crawling rhythms, while fury and resilience erupt in peaks of controlled aggression. The production, meticulously detailed, is both raw and crisp, allowing each element, however harsh, to occupy its own space to maximize emotional impact.

Their evolution is palpable. From Espai, Temps i Materia and Bricks for Reconstruction to the essential Tar Blood / Cement Skin, Spammerheads have demonstrated a commendable capacity for growth, which culminates in the artistic maturity of The Mire Chronicles.

The album's greatest strength lies in its powerful narrative concept. It functions as a chronicle—a sonic diary that navigates the collective states of mind in the face of a catastrophe. The six main tracks (expanded to eight with the digital bonus tracks) are chapters in a story of loss and resilience.

Premiere: Spammerheads - Shocking Days [Banshees Records]

Liricas:
A media noche, en el mes de Junio
Abracé la niebla en un bosque oscuro
Un vapor de opio, un rocío ténue
Me hicieron ver una voz de muerte
Una voz de muerte.
Pero el temor no era de espanto
En este caso grotesco y raro
Vi el sepulcro en la superficie
y pensé: "acá quedaré por siempre"
Ya no podía discimularlo
Estaba más que estupefacto
Y tras la sombra vi aquél cadaver
Qué dijo: "aquí yacerá tu suerte"
..."tu suerte"
