Idlestates w/ Puck  (*Fife) - 22-Apr-22

Fire was once stolen from the Gods, taken from their grasp to serve the needs of humankind—mastered to bring light into our darkest spaces. But to steal from the Gods their very emotions, to feel what they feel…what burning pleasures might that provide?

WIE EIN GOTT seeks to answer that question in the form of the most fire underground music it can bring together under one digital temple roof. The odyssey of Johannes Stabel, the Berlin label was forged within the crucible of Stabel’s collaborative work on his own musical venture XTR HUMAN. To craft such a body-jacking synthesis of gothic atmosphere and dance energy, he was brought into the company of a host of producers, artists and dark-minded individuals. Each burned as brightly as he for that perfect and eternal emotional transcendence to be found within the club, that rising swell from within that seems torn from the breast of Heaven itself.

The first champion to emerge from the gates of WIE EIN GOTT strides forth blazing, a compendium of aural might inspired by the very Gods from which it draws energy. It’s quiver is filled with a rain of hand-selected EBM arrows forged not only for their concussive power, but also to inspire that rush of heroic mental fortitude. Each of the nine tracks bring a different strength, summoning to the dance floor electronic evocations as blackened as the shores of Erebus, as driving as the hips of Phanes.

The opening volley by London’s OLIVER gets down to business immediately with concussive blasts of bass and a synthline to send your courage soaring, before being launched into the night sky with pulsating Tech Noir from Saint-Petersberg’s Rudiment. UNCONSCIOUS peels back the veil of reality to expose the raw beating heart of Chronos, the Milan producer twisting time with a searing cut that evokes the crystallized Now as much as the nostalgic throb of days past. Summoning the icy majesty of figures from his Greek heritage, Alpha Sect’s orbital hammer falls with glacial irrevocability, opening the gates of Hades for a consciousness- shattering purgatorial descent with Berlin’s Clarissa.
Formed from these mental shards, the razor-sharp blades of Parisian doom machine Termination_800 bring pure automated apocalypse in under six minutes. As the heralds of Swærm ravage the plains, heeding the incessant cry of synthetic death, the warped shrieks give way to the horns of Thanatos. This is the crushing weight of Endless Nothing, the metal-minded Italian berserker sent to burn the celestial palaces, to bring the Gods to their knees—to become as Gods, in that moment of transcendence. Descending from Olympus, prize in hand and heart, XTR HUMAN sings the final cry of triumph, a gleaming celebration of our Humanity and—however brief—of shared Godhood found in the throbbing fires of the dance floor.

16 TRACKS FOR MAHSA AND THE PERSIAN LIONESSES
A charity VA compilation to support the on-going freedom protests in Iran featuring 16 diverse tracks from talented "flinta*femme" artists. 

We are absolutely thrilled showcasing 16 unique and exceptional tracks at this charity compilation.  From the haunting echoes of Post-Punk to the energetic EBM landscapes, from the cold dark resonance of Wave to the pulsating rhythms of industrial Techno beats and acid spaces. We celebrate the myriad shades that give music its true depth.
16 Tracks, 1 Cause: Creativity with Purpose
Each track is a testament to the diversity and creativity of the artists involved and a creative expression contributing to a greater cause.
Featuring an incredible line-up of artist including Lady Maru, Berlin Bunny, Substencia, Sch_tsch, Abby Knives, Tasime, Mila Chiral, Maze DK, Maedon, Willillah, Mouth Wound, Nnamel, Eve Schwarz, Inverno, Panternoise and Wvalaam Klous. 

At the heart of this initiative is a collaboration with FEMENA, an organization founded by Sussan Tahmasebi, dedicated to supporting women human rights defenders (WHRDs) and feminist movements in the challenging socio-political landscape of the MENA and Asia regions. 

This collaboration seeks to make a positive impact through the universal language of music, amplifying the voices of those facing restrictions in Iran. Given the challenges and restrictions on direct financial support in Iran, this partnership aims to provide much-needed aid via FEMENA. 

In the spirit of unity and freedom: 

No woman is free until all woman are free. 
No human is free until all humans are free.

This compilation stands as a testament to artistic expression and a reminder that our freedom is intertwined.

All tracks mastered by Stefan at ArtDecade Mastering

[PREMIERE] Prophän - Screams Of Agony Are Muffled In A Deaf World [Brutal Forms]

WL//WH Premiere: AUTUMNS "Have You Ever Held a Snake" [Idlestates]
Scotland, UK-based DIY label Idlestates is back, after a brief hiatus, to strike the most sharp-edged dancefloors, unveiling a tantalizing 13-track Various Artists compilation, titled "The Semiconscious System II VA", that delves deep into the avant-garde realms of EBM and Industrial electronic music.

Northern Ireland's Off-kilter Body Music experimentalist Christian T., a.k.a. Autumns, blends, with a minimalistic and straightforward hardware-led production approach, an electrifying crossover of Dub, Techno, Electro, New Beat, Post-punk, Industrial and No Wave to scratch the boundaries of EBM realms, braced with raw Punk energy.


Distinctive of the Irish artist's cold, minimal, hypnotic, and whip-cracked delivery, “Have You Ever Held a Snake” triggers a snappy barrage of punchy kicks, stark pounding snares, obsessive crispy claps, cracking percussive fills and a relentless syncopated squelching bassline, to compel fear and thrills along with minimal bestial growls, whilst warm, disruptive, emotional brass blows screech and tear through a thick intoxication of dance-compelling darkness.

GLANZ + ELEND presents:
61 + 1 HYMNS FOR THE CHILDREN OF MYNAS | TEARING OF THE TEMPLE Charity VA 002 




61 + 1 Artists Unite to Break the Silence: 
Charity VA Supporting Palestine Children Relief 

In a world where every word holds consequences and every silence bears weight, the latter cannot be a privilege. As the world witnesses the horrors of war and its devastating impact on innocent lives, it's imperative to raise our voices against injustice wherever it occurs. It is our duty, especially being artists, to raise consciousness and awareness, challenge norms and narratives. 

We cannot allow ourselves to overlook the ongoing crisis in Palestine. This is not merely a matter of political stance; it's a test of our humanity. If we fail to speak out against the slaughter of innocent people and the genocide unfolding in Palestine, we fail on fundamental levels of compassion and justice. 

It's not about political affiliations; it's about standing on the righteous side and feeling the pulse of what's truly just. 

With the power of technology, we are constantly connected to the realities of conflict, yet to stay silence in the face of such atrocities is deadly. 

For that reason we brought 61 artists together to break this silence and stand in solidarity with Palestine, especially the innocent children. 

In the haunting echoes of silence, where cries for help are drowned by the thunder of war, our music becomes a beacon of hope, piercing through the darkness to remind the world of its humanity. 

Each beat, each note is a testament to resilience, a defiance against the oppressors, a symphony of solidarity resonating across borders. 

In the tapestry of chaos, our voices rise like a crescendo, demanding justice, demanding freedom and peace, demanding that the world listen and act. 

Techno, Noise, EBM, punk, and experimental music—genres rooted in the ethos of creating alternate societies and challenging terrestrial limitations—have always championed freedom of expression. Yet, the contemporary landscape feels tainted by commodification, censorship, and the silencing of marginalized voices. This betrayal of the essence cannot be tolerated. 

Our music is a rebellion, a revolution of sound, breaking chains of apathy and indifference, igniting flames of empathy and action.We are not just musicians; we are storytellers of the silenced, architects of dreams, weaving melodies of resistance and resilience. 

Solidarity must be a foundational principle within our (sub-)culture. True freedom can only be achieved when all are liberated. Music, as a universal language, transcends boundaries and reminds us that every life is sacred. 

"One for all, and all for one." 

We're thrilled to announce our upcoming charity project, VA 002 compilation, dedicated to supporting Palestinian children relief and medical aid. This initiative brings together 61 unique tracks from a diverse range of artists. Each track serves as a powerful statement, amplifying the voices of the oppressed and advocating for a meaningful cause. 

Through the universal language of music, our compilation project aims to raise awareness and provide vital support to Palestinian children in need. By featuring such a broad spectrum of artists and musical styles, we hope to engage a wide audience and inspire action towards positive change. 

Join us in making a difference and lending your support to this important cause. Together, through the power of music, we can create a brighter future! 

Thanks a million to all the artists involved for lending their talent and voices to this important endeavor. Let's make an impact together!

[PREMIERE] Endless Nothing - Abuse [Phobia Tapes]

Glasgow's EBM and Industrial powerhouse Kenny Campbell joins us for this installment of the Podcast series.

IDLESTATES068 - Kenny Campbell

To fight for other ways of being with others. To insist on nonconformity, on utopias, on other possible worlds. The protester imagines another future, takes over the street, the public space, the sound of the public sphere. To protest is to defend. To make the party its own. It expresses the hope that we can live in a different world, it brings out the anger. And what is electronic music, since its beginnings, if not a language of struggle, of the struggle for minorities, for rights, for equality, for community? In Argentina we are living in dark times, so: we protest.

Ludmila Fuks is an argentinean music producer, live performer & DJ that has recently based in Berlin. She began her musical career as a producer in 2020, with track releases on the Argentinean label Logia, the emerging Mexican label Kyma Komplex, in which also was release her EP debut “Las Flores del Mal”, and two more EP's are about to be released. Her sound is characterized by the use of percussion and acid sounds, creating dark, hypnotic and earthy atmospheres, passing through different genres such as acid, indie dance, ebm and dark disco and being able to adapt to different intensities to generate an ecstatic experience.

MUTANT MODALITY is a platform and music label exploring strange and cathartic forms of artistic expression - through the prism of different atmospheres. It will provide soundtracks influenced by our times, while encouraging a sense of community between like-minded artists operating across experimental and dancefloor music.

< … we became, again, emerging from the city’s hollowed veins
a symbol, like a mark on our burning mutant flesh. 
some kind of sigil, yielding to long-lost flames through the soiled concrete.  
and then, without a movement, a sudden realization : these lost worlds were ours … >

For this release we go SPECTACULAR. 
I mean, DISTORTION, SPECTRAL VOICES... CHAOS!
PURE MUTANT ENERGY, EVERYWHERE, INSIDE... SPREADING!

G.xist, a London-based artist and co-founder of Depth.Request navigates the sonic landscape of industrial techno with a dystopic fervor.
Embracing the chaos of noise and the complexities of syncopated rhythms, he creates a dissonant yet compelling auditory journey. 
Drawing upon the ethos of industrial music, G.xist's work is a reflection of our tumultuous modern society and serves as a powerful commentary on the fragility of our existence.

[PREMIERE] Ethan Fawkes - Militia (Swærm Remix) [N.I.M]

[PREMIERE] éstudy - Dont Press that Button [GOTT14]

We're back again! This time with an artist whose emotional depth struck a powerful
chord with us: Pierre-Berge Cia. On UNKNOWN BODY FEEDBACK, Pierre delivers a visceral
sonic exploration through voice, guitar and electronics, drawing from the raw energy
of EBM, the atmospheric depths of 90’s electronica, while seamlessly merging these
elements into dissonant technoid structures on the verge of collapse. And for remix
duties? We’ve got some heavy-hitting material from an incredible lineup of guests.
Kicking things off, we have the renowned German electronic artist Daniel Myer. With a
career that stretches across more than two decades, Daniel has made a significant
impact on a variety of genres like industrial, electro or IDM — and has worked
alongside legends such as Depeche Mode, Front 242. His work spans multiple aliases,
including Haujobb, Architect, and his latest venture, Rendered.
Next, we’re excited to feature Second Tension, a project from Greek producer Stavros
Tilkeridis. With nearly 30 years of experience, Stavros has traversed everything from
loop-based composition in the vein of Pierre Schaeffer to spiritual, psychedelic, and
ambient music, ultimately shaping the dark, mystical techno sound he’s known for
today.
We’re thrilled to welcome back Maze DK, a Polish DJ and producer now based in Berlin.
Her crafts merge experimental, techno and EBM with haunted, factory-like atmospheres.
The word “industrial” is a mere euphemism here. An active member of the community,
Maze DK collaborates with queer-feminist collectives, including High Queer and Golosa
where she holds a residency.
Finally, Seoul-based Purusha brings her signature blend of driving dark rhythms, and
experimental textures. She has carved out a unique niche in Eastern Asia and beyond,
notably through her involvement with Volnost Club and the GwyMyeon music label — two
projects whose subversive spirit holds a special place in our hearts.
