What is this?
I'm better than that

And where are you?
I'm sinking through
The cracks of my soul
And I've been here before...

It never ends
I'm stuck with the sounds
That relentlessly pound silently at my door
And I can't take much more...

For all the times
I've fell for this
I swear
This time I know
This is the low
There is no need to despair
I swear
This time I know
This is the low

And when it hurts
You've lost all control
And you can't shake the craving to end it all
And it's so hard to see
That better times
Well they surely must come
So don't look back, don't run
There's a reason to stay

So just emerge from the dark
Be free
This time I know
This is the low
Release a scream into the crowd
Just let go
This time I know
This is the low

This is the Low

Synthpop Your World Records presents its second official artist/release as a label, supporting Mexico's based long-lived underground electronic band Horizonte Lied and their ambitious project "Final Remasters" that began on December 2021.

The band about this second release of their new project:
"The second of many releases to come from our project 'The Final Remasters', this version of 'Mal Dia' is an updated, remixed & remastered version of one of our first songs ever released, it was heavily influenced by classic synthpop and industrial electronic styles (like Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails), the lyrics are a simple dark but hopeful message about overcoming self-doubts and bad luck periods of our lives".

Mal Día [Remastered Edition]

Mal Día (Radio Edit) [Remaster]

What you said was a lie
You wanted to turn me into you
And we both know why

It means nothing tonight
What you feel can't be worse than what you put me through

If you've nothing to hide
You've nothing to fear from what I find
When I look into you

It won't be long
Just admit the time will come
To cut me loose
Stun me into silence

All you knew
Emotional violence
To suck me down with you
Emotional violence

When you're not here
There is a joy you couldn't feel if it burned into you
When you're near
I am a mess I'm distressed by what you might just do

So here's the truth
Can't you see the way you are
And it's no use
You've cut through every mental scar

All you knew
Emotional violence
All you can do
Emotional violence
All you see
Emotional violence
All you read into
Emotional violence
All you want from me
Emotional violence
All you want to be
Emotional violence

Emotional Violence

An older track of ours but one of Leanne's favorites. She REALLY wanted me to post this one.

8/7/2021 (demo)

Recorded live at my studio. Dedicated to the one and only - Bizzarrini 5300GT Strada.

Can't Touch Me

Finding the words
You've never spoken
To find the time in the day
Takes too long

I feel denied
You left things open
I cast my mind in the haze
Then let go

I can hear you
Turning things over
I feel the burn of your gaze
In my back

If you're coming clean
I'm running for cover
I need nothing for free
Enter my world

I've learned what you need to discover
That you don't forget what you know
You know me well

Tonight
That's all you wanted
That's all you wanted to live for

We seek historic brief
Impassioned fervour
To relieve the pain of days
You owe us

I know soon you'll leave for another
You can't accept what you are
And face us
  
Secretly pleased
With so much uncertain
There's a will, there's an ease
And nothing more

Tonight
That's all you wanted
That's all you wanted to live for

All You Wanted

Checkout alternative (guitarless) mix here: https://soundcloud.com/myjoy/surrender-where-the-heck-did-i-put-my-guitar-mix

I want you to surrender
I want you here tonight
I want you to surrender...

Look this way
Turn this way
Yield to the hold I have upon you
You'd better do as I say
Don't disobey
You can't ignore your pulse it calls
Give in to sin without remorse

I want you to surrender
I want you here tonight
I want you to surrender
I want you to submit to me
You'll surrender
I won't let go 'till you completely surrender

Head the signs
Fear my designs
I need to know your every part inside out
So give in
Resign to your fate
Our interests are aligned
We need no alibi

I want you to surrender
I want you here tonight
I want you to surrender
I want you to admit to me
You surrender
So just confess and scream with pride you surrender

Surrender

I must be feeling low again, lower than low
I must be feeling low again, lower than low

But some feelings feel the same
I fear it every day
But I can't complain
I must have gone insane...

I'm stuck within my mind tonight
When will it end?
I don't belong
I won't become just another one of them

I'm tearing out my brain
I struggle on in vain
How could I complain?
I know that they're insane...

Surrender (Where the heck did I put my guitar? mix)

Make Me Blue

Dark-O-Matic - Make Me Blue (Purple Fog Side Remix)

Only my published/legal works here! I do not repost others music. 
I'm an independent producer and audio engineer (synthpop, electro/ebm, darkwave, dreampop, postpunk).

I started making music in 1995 at demo-scene (as Jazztiz / KFMF), making mostly Electro-Industrial and Dark Ambient.

Later my solo works are evolved into Purple Fog Side, my main project.
Since 2003 I work as producer and audio engineer for other bands.

If you need any music-related services, just pm me.

Horizonte Lied is an electro alternative band from Monterrey, Mexico that delivers modern synth-pop, industrial, electro, and new wave sound with some industrial dark moods.
Horizonte Lied music is distributed by SynthpopYourWorld Records.
Currently releasing and promoting the long-term project "Final Remasters" scheduled to conclude in 2024.

Horizonte Lied was born in June 1992, and several members have participated since its inception, under the influence of bands such as Depeche Mode, Clan of Xymox, Recoil, and Nine Inch Nails.

The band remained 'underground' until 1996, when the band decided to change its name to Horizon Lied (previously called Horizon Limit); The word LIED is of German origin used since the 18th century and represents one of the most important poetic-musical art forms of all time (Franz Peter Shubert established the German 'Lied' as a new art form in the 19th century).
The band tries exactly to establish a new way of exposing their music, which is complemented by the vision and inspiration that the concept of 'Horizonte' projects.
It is not until 1999 that the band begins to seriously plan the recording of their first album.

Unfortunately due to personal issues, the band delayed the recording sessions for 2 years. But finally, in October 2002, they released their first single: 'Destello Inmortal';
the good rotation that the song receives on the internet opens the doors for them to be invited to be the opening band of the renowned cult gothic band Clan of Xymox at the end of that same year in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

In March 2003, they finally released their first album called 'Memorias de Crónicas Futuras' with a very good reception in the underground electro scene, despite the scarce marketing that was handled around it, limiting it to only internet distribution.
Despite this, the band released a second single from the same album called 'Iluminado' in November 2003.

In December of that same year, the band was invited to play at the 'Secuencia 001' festival in Mexico City, alternating with the bands: Planet Pop and Nexus 8, at the Dada X club, this being their last live performance, since the beginning of 2004 the group takes a break and only works producing remixes for other bands (Eurovision, Brand New Day).

At the end of 2005, the band got together again and started new recording sessions for a new album, and managed to do some live performances again in 2006.
Throughout 2007, intermittent recording of new material continues, and a promotional compilation album is planned.
In the middle of 2008, the web single "El Día Después" was released.

During the following years and between several hiatus periods, various songs were released casually without much promotion on Soundcloud and Reverbnation, some of them were part of the unreleased compilation EP "Nuevos Horizontes" as well as updated versions of the first songs of the band, which later changed to an unreleased EP that will be included in the FINAL REMASTERS project in 2025.

Current members: 
Alex Ezert (Executive Producer, Lead Vocalist, Samplers)
Bernardo Garza (Synths, Samplers)
Luis "El Cartún" Pérez (Synths, Percussions, Live Performance)

The band is currently promoting and scheduled to conclude their FINAL REMASTERS project in 2025.

Manchester based solo artist 'myjoy' crafts brooding synthpop straddling melancholy and melody. Hailing from a city with a proud tradition of misery, myjoy channels the spirit of Depeche Mode and other leathery gloom merchants, without the leather or massive international success. 

Some of myjoy's music has been described as "alright" and "not bad I suppose", with one critic even declaring "I don't actually mind this one too much" - though that may have been in response to someone else's track being auto-played afterwards.

Influences: Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, IamX, Mesh, De/Vision, Black Nail Cabaret, Boy Harsher, Linea Aspera, Ultranoire.
