Auf deiner Haut (Verstekk Remix)

Staying focus on releasing new bands and new material, our 39th release is dedicated to the contemporary Greek underground dark synth/EBM phenomenon that emerged mainly after the covid-19 lockdowns and the years that followed with cataclysmic events all over the world.
Tina (Night In Athens) began composing music to exorcise her demons while confined to her East London room during lockdown. Her debut EP, "Metropolis", dropped in 2021, featuring dark electro with a mix of coldwave. The Synth-A are self-proclaimed as a synth-noir pop band. They were created in 2020 just for fun, but things got serious when their first ever  song "Θυμάσαι πώς είναι να χορεύεις; (Do You Remember How It Feels To Dance?" was aired by various radio shows and night clubs. They are based in Athens and are consisted of Stavros Van der Wilt and Venetia Ioakim. The Man & His Failures started off in 2018 as a personal project by Manos Karakatsanis (Asylum Promises, Mani Deum) but soon, with the addition of Alekos Sorros and Dimitris Vlassopoulos, it evolved into a fully functional band. So far, they have released 2 EPs: "Persona Non Grata" (2018) and "MMXX EP" (2021), as well as "Devastations/R.Dannel", a split 7" with Incirrina and the compilation LP/CD "Chapter One: MMXX & More". Blakaut is the brainchild of Alkis Chatzoglou, started back in 2017. His sound moves along cold electronic paths and is inspired by life in Athens. This track was recorded in the spring of 2024. It's about the uncomfortable situations that you don't change in your life, so everything gets rusty. XVIV is a newly established electronic music project based in Athens. Its sound is influenced by the dystopian rock n’ roll vocals of Suicide, the repetitive and metallic bass of Nitzer Ebb, the psychedelic effects of dub and the raw energy of punk. Τhe oddly named Γεμάτος Αράχνες, Ρε Φίλε! (I'm Full Of Spiders, Man!) is a 3 member horror synth-punk band from Athens, Greece, which emerged from the Greek underground scene seemingly out of nowhere in September 2019. They first appeared as a support act at the "Le Prince Harry" gig at "Ίδρυμα 2.14" (Ιdryma 2.14) in October 2019. "Ξέρει Καράτε!" (He Practices Karate!) was created during the covid-19 lockdowns and is previously unreleased on vinyl. Moved by love, a warm feeling in the chest, tears and shivers, make up the meaning of Kama Muta. That's the way their music takes form, in the spirit of post-punk, synth and darkwave. Their first album "The Voices Burned" was released in early 2024 by Dystatik. The single "Δεν Ζητάνε Κανέναν" (They Ask Nobody) is the band's commentary on wildfires, a tragedy that is repeated year after year in Greece. Eddie Dark is an electric vampire from the heart of Athens writing self-aware synth-punk tracks about the horrors of being alive since 2022. He has released the album "Λουλούδια" (Flowers) so far on Geheimnis Music Productions, and is already preparing a second full length album. Παγανή Κυριακή (Pagani Kiriaki / Paganistic Sunday) is a musical duet and horror enthusiasts. They released their first self-titled record in 2024 and will return when the moons are right with new discordant music. Sensitive Content is a post-punk duet, based between Athens and Paris, featuring Manos Tzavolakis and Alexandre Moreau. The pair began composing music in late 2023, channelling a shared energy born out of life's despair, fading love and the anger towards a decaying society. Their sound is raw and direct, with minimalistic punk-fueled tracks and hit straight to the core.
The LP/Compilation will come out in November 2024 in 400 hand-numbered vinyl copies and two colours, the basic black one (200 copies) and transparent lime (200 copies). The vinyl mastering was made by Lakis Halkiopoulos at 216 Pro-Studio and the release includes an insert with lyrics, bios, credits and a download code.

he Frozen Autumn is an Italian darkwave band, formed in May 1993 in Turin, Italy. Originally the solo project of singer, keyboardist and synth programmer Diego Merletto, guitarist Claudio Brosio joined on during early studio sessions and live performances. Together they recorded and released two albums, “Pale Awakening” in 1995 and “Fragments of Memories” in 1997. In 1998, Claudio left the band and Diego recruited Arianna (aka Froxeanne) who sings, programs and composes. After 18 months of work, The Frozen Autumn's third album, “Emotional Screening Device”, was released in April 2002.

“Time Is Just A Memory” is a 6-track overview of songs from The Frozen Autumn’s first three albums. Characterized by a blend of melancholic vocals, atmospheric gothic-wave and 1980s-style electropop, the duo call their style "frozen wave”. The Frozen Autumn have stated that labelmates Clan of Xymox have been their main source of inspiration over the years. Other influences include Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, The Sisters of Mercy, Xmal Deutschland, David Sylvian and Depeche Mode. These six tracks stand out for their rich melodies, from the  guitar-laden early tracks “Dusk Is Like A Dagger”, “Wait For Nothing”, “There's No Time To Recall”, and “This Time,” to the  electronic sheen on later songs “Is Everything Real?” and “Silence Is Talking”.

All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The release is housed in a custom-made jacket by Peer Lebrecht, from German electro/synthpop band The Dust Of Basement, incorporating a photograph by Diego over a textured background that recalls early 4AD designs. Each copy comes with a double sided 11x11 insert with lyrics and notes.

What you see, is a stray, that's lost
Defeated
What you feel, is that you know, 
What I'm missing
Don't you know, it doesn't help
What you try to show me
What I want, is for you
To just forget me
