Biography The Neon Judgement ‘Blue Screens 1995-2009’

Dirk Timmermans (aka Dirk Da Davo) and Frank Vloeberghs (aka TB Frank) created The Neon Judgement in the early eighties, the first tapes combining harsh minimalist industrial sounds with their trademark guitar and synth wizardry. Classics like ‘The Fashion Party’ are favorites to this day and were for instance still played at the 2023 Dour Festival by Aphex Twin, but other tracks like ‘TV Treated’ ‘Miss Brown’ ‘Awful Day’ and more are engraved in the minds of most.

With most releases being done on Play It Again Sam (PIAS), the nineties took a different turn, both labelwise, with Dazsoo on KK Records (Bauhaus, Frontline Assembly, Vomito Negro, ...), At Devil’s Fork on Synthetic  Symphony (Die Krupps, Welle: Erdball, Klaus Schulze ...), and last but not least, Smack on LC Music / Dancedelic-D (Dirk Da Davo’s own label).

A selection of tracks of these latter 3 albums, never before available on vinyl record, have hereby been completely remastered and form this 10-track compilation.

DIRK DA DAVO mostly known of his groundbreaking work with THE NEON JUDGEMENT and later on with NEON ELECTRONICS is back on his track with a new solo single:  RUNNING UP THE HILLSIDE to be digitally released on his label. www.dancedelicd.com  september 15th 2025. 

For the occassion Dirk invited 2 remixers to the release:

FORMSHIFT (Holland) , with who Dirk  already co worked in 2017 (Crash EP) and in 2018 (E-Society EP). DDD was more than happy that after the years FORMSHIFT (Gavin Bucktrout) is still musicly active and that he accepted the invitation to remix “Running Up The Hillside “ in his so recognisable style!!

MASS AUDIO FORMATION (U.K.),  the by Dirk recently discovered EBM/INDUSTRIAL project driven by Matt Brock. Dirk came across Matt's project via  You Tube. DDD went looking for more, and then came across his bandcamp  page and emediately bought his 4 track EP “Authority”! And then came his remix!

FORMSHIFT and MASS AUDIO FORMATION are the perfect extra to flavour the release of “RUNNING UP THE HILLSIDE” !! Just sit thight and enjoy!
