Facets - IN DARK WE TRUST #209

Next Wave Acid Punk and beyond: Living the New Beat, early EBM and Dungeon disco dream. All things wave, all things post and punk and acid and dark and romantic. NYC Facets, Samo records-founder brings his blend of leftfield Italo, new beat and ebm, while Cologne-based, Keikee closes things out with her twisted electro and dark disco touch.

@cursesforever is known to mix his rock & roll roots with the darker side of disco, with influences from EBM, new wave, psychedelic synths and post-punk. On his show, he likes to invite guests who all pride themselves on their own unique interpretation of post-punk, 80s, electronic music, and encouraging them to explore their roots and get out of their club music comfort zone.

Listen to Together Alone every 2nd Saturday of the month, from 20h to 22h [CET] on rinse.fr

Kombinat Lebensfreude – Bewegt Euch (Facets Edit)

Working with old friends is always a joyous thing so Optimo Music is delighted to be releasing the new EP from our old friend Facets. Boris has been coming to our New York gigs for as long as I can remember and always brings a great energy. That energy flows over into his music. EBM has become a much abused term in recent times but here are some tracks exploring that EBM DNA where the creator 100% knows that history and what they are doing. Taking that knowledge and bringing that sound right up to date. We asked Boris for some notes on the tracks.
He said -
All three tracks spread across different genres I like and each has its own unique type of energy. “Noć,” which includes haunting Serbian vocals from Marija Kovacević and lyrics by Jesus Martinez, has an arpeggiated sequence along with a new wave-esque bassline. “Breakable” is a driving synth track that used lots of modulation accompanied by a 12-bit drum machine. Finally, “Reveal Yourself” is an EBM track on which I incorporated my own vocals for the first time, as well as lyrics that came from a vivid dream I had.

Breakable is out on November 10th.
