release date sept 13, 2024

Second single out from the forthcoming Dame Area's fourth studio album, "Toda la verdad sobre Dame Area" ("The Whole Truth about Dame Area"), a collaboration with the renowned labels Mannequin Records and Humo Records. Release date: 13th September 2024.

Formed in 2017 within the vibrant underground scene of Barcelona's Màgia Roja club, Dame Area comprises the Italian-Catalan duo Silvia Konstance and Viktor Lux Crux. They fuse industrial-tribal polyrhythms with minimalist synth basslines, drawing profound inspiration from avant-garde masters such as Esplendor Geometrico, Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, Einstürzende Neubauten, Can, Coil, Swans, Big Black, and Wolf Eyes.

This record represents a new phase in Dame Area's discography. It's a big step up in terms of sound, composition and ideas. This record it's the perfect representation of what they have been playing live the last three years and what most people know them for. Also it serves as a companion piece to 2022’s Toda la mentira sobre Dame Area ("All The Lies About Dame Area"), which had a stronger focus on melody, while this latest record is more aggressive and industrial-influenced, with a greater emphasis on percussion.

Tracks like the Suicide-influenced "Si no es hoy cuando es" and "Sempre Cambiare" are an onslaught of industrialism and experimentalism—formidable, volatile, and unpredictable avant-garde subversion. Silvia explains, "One of our biggest influences is doing what our influences wouldn't do. We're more into dynamics and structures atypical of electronic music, with changes in time signatures, starts and stops, and dynamics more typical of rock music. We use any musical idea from any genre. Some songs on the album are based on flamenco rhythms, others influenced by '60s experimental pop, heavy metal, or contemporary electronic music."

The confrontational "Vengo dall'aldilà" accelerates with heavy percussion, while "Tu me hiciste creer" builds into a rhythmic, transcendent noise of yelled vocals and hypnotic beats. Viktor adds, "This song took us more time to complete than any other we have recorded. It was a very organic process, evolving slowly from some instrumental percussive stuff we were doing live. Then we started using feedback as a rhythmic element (through a metallic sheet), and this was the first song where we incorporated this element, typical of noise-rock and experimental rock."

Elsewhere, "Esto Es Nuestro Ruido" represents a manic, eclectic form of contemporary industrial music, post-punk, and EBM. Silvia notes, "It's the first album we recorded outside a studio. Although we've been playing live with metallic percussion and floor tom from the very start, in the studio, with some exceptions, it was mostly sample-based until now. On Toda la verdad sobre Dame Area, all drums and almost all metallic percussion have been recorded live."

With a growing reputation as one of the best live bands around since their inception, Dame Area has toured extensively across Europe, performing at renowned festivals like Atonal, CTM, Nuits Sonores, Dour, and Fusion, as well as legendary clubs such as Berghain, Tresor, Apolo, and Spook Factory.

Recorded at Sol de Sants Studios and Estudio Hermetic between August and November 2023

MM PREMIERE 060 | EGZOTIKKA - JAUSMAS (SOLIARIS COVER) [Up North Records]

IN EVERY DREAM HOME A HEARTACHE ( COVER )

Glaring - September

She fingered the papers on her desk, leafing through archaic texts and historical works of old men she cared very little for. Since beginning her studies she had tried her best to shun the so-called 'experts' in favour of new radicals, of unheard voices and those who went against the grain. That was the way she'd been raised, to think and look outside of the box, something she felt increasingly thankful for as she grew older. After all, you should never believe everything you're told...

Parisian label Zone, masterminded by The Hacker and Alexandre Raynaud, have built a reputation for their tasteful electro-driven output, boasting a catalogue that includes Gesaffelstein Jensen interceptor, Maelstrom and many more. For their next instalment they turn their attentions to Budapest and DJ and producer CT Kidobó, who has previously released music for Earth Plates, Dalmata Daniel and, under his Das Model moniker, for Mille Feuilles. Across the four tracks on Impulse & Inhibition, CT Kidobo explores sounds for the day time, with future plans in place for a sequel of darker "sounds of the night" later this year.

Impulse & Inhibition – Part 1

PREMIERE: CT Kidobó - Death Of Postmodernism [Zone]

In the history of creation comes the beginning of consciousness, running parallel with the river of time along the road of the formation of suns and planets. Through suffering and war; through bestiality and savagery; through slavery and greed, through ages of semi-brutal existence one will reach the doctrine of absolute continuity in the evolution of the perceptible world.
