SECRET RAVE INVITATION

TMORCAST004 | HardtraX b2b O.B.I.

The German techno madness goes on and on! Dunkelkammer and I came up with some new tunes together and thus we are back once again with "Wir wollen mehr". So what does it mean? Well, the English translation is "We want more" and I guess the title already tells you what to expect... More bass, more beats, more insanity! Should we end the series as a trilogy or do you want more?

Out now: https://hardtrax.bandcamp.com/album/wir-wollen-mehr

Lyrics (German language):

Wir feuern im Takt
Wir feiern ohne Gnade

Ihr wollt alles
Ihr wollt mehr
Ihr wollt alles
Ihr wollt mehr
Ihr wollt alles
Ihr wollt viel mehr

Ihr wollt alles
Ihr wollt mehr

Ein krankes Hirn
Treibt rasend an
Die Masse tobt
Es geht voran

Die Klänge ach
So hart und schwer
Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Jaaaa!

Jaaaa!

Wir feuern im Takt
Wir feiern ohne Gnade

Ein krankes Hirn
Treibt rasend an
Die Masse tobt
Es geht voran

Die Klänge ach
So hart und schwer
Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Ein krankes Hirn
Treibt rasend an
Die Masse tobt
Es geht voran

Die Klänge ach
So hart und schwer
Sie wollen alle
Noch viel mehr

Jaaaa!

💥🎶⚡😍

HardtraX feat. Dunkelkammer - Wir wollen mehr

"Eiskalt" is my new three-tracker with recent productions of mine called "Eiskalt", "Their Dream Is Your Nightmare" and "We Have To See".

The latter is a straight stomping, no bullsh*t and no compromise hard 303 acid techno track. No acid action can be heard on the title-track "Eiskalt", but the rough, dirty bassline and the gritty lead-synth will send you into distorted industrial hardtechno-heaven instead. Track no. 2 send you from heaven back to hell with eerie vocals and hard, yet groovy beats. You dream will be your neighbours' nightmare if you turn up the volume on this one!

Free download ⚡🔥🎵😈

Eiskalt

My latest old-school inspired hard industrial rave track called "Rave State" combines modern rhythms with retro techno elements. Fast-paced synths meet heavy bass. Boom goes the woofer...

https://hardtrax.bandcamp.com/album/rave-state

🔥⚡😜😈💥🎶

Rave State

Deep kicks, pumping basslines, atmospheric noises and distorted percussions are combined with vocals by Neryn from Spain. "No One Is Coming To Save You" is dark and deep apocalyptic techno music. The awakening is near. And soon... there will be chaos!

https://hardtrax.bandcamp.com/album/no-one-is-coming-to-save-you

Free download! ⚡💽🎶

HardtraX Feat. Neryn - No One Is Coming To Save You

The sixth release in our HardtraX vs. Dunkelkammer series is here with a new four-tracker called: "Willst du mit mir gehen?"

The tunes "Willst du mit mir gehen?", "Mein Schmerz" and "Ich bin nicht süchtig" (in two versions) are a great showcase for Dunkelkammer's original German lyrics combined with raw techno-beats. Energetic and dark music with a decent dose of both lyrical depth and rhythmic roughness!

🎵🎶

HardtraX feat. Dunkelkammer - Willst du mit mir gehen?

HardtraX Feat. Dunkelkammer - Ich bin nicht süchtig

A collaboration with vocalist Bernhard von Zorn released via Definition Of Hard Techno.

https://obihardtechno.bandcamp.com/album/mensch-maschine

🎵💽🔥 O.B.I. Bandcamp

HardtraX & Bernhard von Zorn - Mensch Maschine

The initial idea of this tune was shamelessly copied... uh I mean "inspired by" Stormtrooper's industrial hardcore classic "Todesvögel" (which is the reason why he is mentioned here - check out his original production!). 😜 In a certain sense I consider this an unofficial remix of some sort, even though this version contains movie-samples like the original does, but no actual sounds from Stormtrooper's classic tune which is still unforgotten. Well, apart from the female moaning sample. 😂😁

This one may probably never be released, thus there is no download link available (ever). Now on SoundClound for your listening pleasure anyway, after this has been heard in my recent sets quite often. Enjoy! 🎶

The industrial techno act HardtraX featuring Dunkelkammer is back with a new EP called "Scheißegal". This one comes in five different versions at once. Crazy German lyrics (with a hint of social criticism) and hard industrial techno rhythms collide on this raw five-tracker.

Transmission Podcast (March 2021)

After finding his fascination for the rave scene during the beginning of the 90's at an early age, HardtraX started to get into music production by 1997. After co-founding the HardtraX vs. Jackhamma live-PA in 2002, he and his colleague Jackhamma started their own vinyl label "Dark Force Recordings" in 2003. For over 25 years he has been a name in the scene contributing to the relentless Hardtechno sound from Münster. With his more recent releases “Alles was Euch Bleibt” and “Für immer Nacht” he continued his vocal driven sound which is played by artists like Rebekah and Kobosil all over the globe. We are more than stoked to have him as the first guest of our podcasts second season. We are sure you will love his two hours of Hardtechno including 27(!!!) tracks from his own production.

Feed The Flame

Soon to be released for free via JunoDownload, this is my personal rendition of the hardcore-track "Enter The Fortress" originally created by http://soundcloud.com/deemolish from Sydney (Australia).

My version differs from the original version in many ways, as I have added typical elements of my personal style and tested a different production-approach with a couple of techniques I have not used earlier (this can be heard for e.g. in the way I have altered the original vocals).

To download earlier tunes by Formaldehyde, check the free releases on Australia's "The Harder View Digital": http://theharderview.com

Formaldehyde - Enter The Fortress (HardtraX' Apocalyptic Mix)

This is a straight-forward, bass-loaded version of "In Your Dying Days" with a totally different theme and atmosphere compared to the original version.

This is my latest dark hardtekkno-production bearing the name "Rude And Direct". Soaring acid-basslines meet industrial tech-beats, white noise effects, hard-kicking bassdrums and explicit Spanish vocals.

Rude And Direct

Truth And Sacrifice

Thanks to a bet/challenge with Dunkelkammer you can now enjoy this 4-track digital download of our hardtechno EP "Die Division". Dark, vocal-focussed techno music is what you get with this hard-hitting four-tracker on 150-152 BPM. Beware of the explicit German lyrics in tracks 2 & 4 and the rough, eardrum-destroying beats of tracks 1 & 3!

Die neue deutsche Technowelle marschiert unaufhaltsam voran, und somit gibt es auch im Jahr 2021 wieder Neues von HardtraX & Dunkelkammer. Die vier Titel "Die Division", "Letztens vorm Club", "Mit Vollgas ins Verderben" und "Ausgeflippt" kombinieren den düsteren HardtraX-Sound mit den abgefahrenen, deutschen Texten und Stimmaufnahmen von Dunkelkammer.

Lyrics (German language):

Spürt die Aggression!
Seht die Perversion!
Lebt die Obsession!
Glaubt der Illusion!
Fühlt die Depression!
Lebt die Repression!
Seid die Intrusion!
Folgt der Division!

HardtraX feat. Dunkelkammer - Mit Vollgas ins Verderben

A seriously kicking one hour HardtraX vs. Jackhamma hardtechno live-PA recorded on 24th September 2009.

Live-Performance

HardtraX vs. Jackhamma LIVE - Psychoacoustic Riot (24.9.2009)

Promotional live-PA recording prior to the "Insanity"-event in Belgium. This HardtraX vs. Jackhamma live-performance was recorded before the party in order to promote the event that took place on 22nd April 2006 in Bruges. Almost 15 years have passed since then. Now this is true insanity indeed...

Insanity Bruges takes place on 22nd of April!

This is our HardtraX vs. Jackhamma - "Distortion Day" live-performance from November 2009. 

No tracklist available of course, since this is *not* a DJ-Mix but a live-PA. :-P

HardtraX vs. Jackhamma LIVE - Distortion Day Live-PA (6.11.2009)

Digital pre-sale is online now! Full release available on Bandcamp as of Friday, 26th February 2021!

Still not on MiniDisc, but as a Bandcamp exclusive download comes "Der Wahnsinn" - the next HardtraX feat. Dunkelkammer collaboration! Wahnsinn is the German word for insanity, madness or lunacy and damn... what a lunatic release it turned out to be! Don't you love self-explanatory titles?

"Der Wahnsinn" sets off with a dark vibe and turns into a twisted rave-infused frenzy. The craziness is turned up a notch to a new level with the insane lyrics written and recorded by the one and only Dunkelkammer.

Lyrics:

Hahaha, hahaha!

Der Wahnsinn ist alles
Und noch viel mehr
Treibt mich ins Verderben
Und lieblos umher

Der Irrsinn als Mittel
Das Elend zum Zweck
Der Geist löst sich auf
Zerfalle winselnd im Dreck

Der Wahnsinn ist alles (2x)

Hahahaha, hahaha - der Wahnsinn!
Hahaha!

Der Wahnsinn ist alles
Und noch viel mehr
Treibt mich ins Verderben
Und lieblos umher

Der Irrsinn als Mittel
Das Elend zum Zweck
Der Geist löst sich auf
Zerfalle winselnd im Dreck

Hahahahahahaha...
