release date sept 13, 2024

On September 13th, 2024, Dame Area will unveil their highly anticipated 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.

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

I Only See Your Eyes

Work hard, love life and each other. Be humble 

Oh when my work here is done lord 
there will be nothing more to prove to none 
I will not leave any cries behind
and everything is to be settled and done

You know our hearts will beat as one my love
the time has nothing more to sing to us
when i slowly drive away to meet my father
with my head held proud 

Oh I’m not leaving in a suit
there’s no chance I’m leaving my boots behind
when i drive in to the sunset
all my horses will be fed

You know our hearts will beat as one my love 
the time has nothing more to sing to us
when i slowly drive away to meet my father
with my head held proud

Oh I’m not leaving in a suit
there’s no chance I’m leaving my boots behind
when i drive in to the sunset
all my horses will be fed

Oh I’m not leaving in a suit
there’s no chance I’m leaving my boots behind
when i drive in to the sunset
all my horses will be fed

You die as you live

Der Noir - Stranger's Eye (Newclear Waves Remix)

After the huge success of our previous MME909 by Traxx and Npnk, here is a new selection of industrial, post-punk, EBM edits selected and made by Dunkeltier also known as Sneakers DJ (Uncanny Valley, Frigio…). 
Dunkeltier has worked to give a second life to those very obscure tracks and needed to be adjusted. Giving tribute to the defunct artist Kozmonaut on this new extended version of “The Mann”. “Tanzmusik” by Absolute Body Control was originally 1:40 and completely underexploited, we have now a strong solid dance floor killer!
“Saturday Night” by eM (also known as SM Nurse) was originally only released on tape and needed a proper restoration. And some of you will probably recognise the final track “A Dey” but completely remixed by Dunkeltier.

On "Tanzmusik":

I really was kind of shocked nobody did an edit before as this snippet-like killer track from 1987 is a must play.

I was able to stretch 'Tanzmusik' (dance music) from 1:26 min to more than 6 minutes without feeling any boredom while listening. It's not my credits, it's the genius of this classic wave band.

I felt having a good run so I did it in one go.

As the name says i added lot's of phasing which works more than well on the original short synth loop modulation.
So (you'll) have  fun with a 3-band-EQ on your DJ-desk! :)

The same edit of "Tanzmusik" is also included here on the official ABC picture disc from 2016:
