BNE Project

Selections from BNE: Jen-E's Megamix

A wonderful 5-track EP of melancholic indietronica from hedfog, aka Peter Greasley,  who is one of the pioneers of Brisbane's electronic music DNA, through his bands Tainted Violets, Atomic Beat Squad and Dream Circle of the late-80s and 90s, including support for Blondie and The Sugarcubes. 

Since 2017 Peter’s creative drive has seen focus through hedfog, and this ‘Mind Making’ EP is a brilliant selection, which Trans:Com is proud to release. The vinyl record release is a very limited pressing.

Anyone who is a fan of rich, epic, darker electronica - think late-period Depeche Mode for example - would connect with this amazing release.

I Won't Go

From the remastered rerelease of one our most treasured things; the long deleted, and only ever available on cassette (story in that - yet to be told), debut (and in the end final) album from Brisbane's wonderful Blood Party; "Rock n Roll Psychology" - with bonus tracks from early TransCom compilations and promos, and even some very early demos. 

Blood Party - Benediction

Radio edit from the forthcoming release of Projekt Inertia's storming progressive anthem Bangkok - featuring remixes from Ian O'Donovan, Alex BatiQua, Ego Valente, and Outsider.

Projekt Inertia - Bangkok (Single Edit)

The classic techno-house remix of Sphere's #1 track Don't Die Wondering. 
Remix by Fairbrother / Clark / Remmer.
Featured on Sphere's Sometimes Hysteria album, originally appeared on the Cyberia compilation of Brisbane electronica artists and bands. Both available on iTunes Aus/NZ.

LowKey+Nude - Rufige (Radio Edit)

Fetish was originally released by Dogmachine on the Oracle label in 1997 as a single and on the album Futuristic Urban Cult, the latter which has just been rereleased by Trans:Com through iTunes. With founding member Kraig Wilson at the core, and a range of important collaborators including Donna Matrix (featured on this track) and Lawrence English, the band was famous for its confronting live performances which often descended into an industrial chaos of noise and machinery.

Dogmachine - Fetish

Lead track from The Isle's 4-track EP 'Moment'. Wonderful retro-electro loaded with synths, melodies, and grooves. Lovely vocals by Anna...

The Isle - Union

Cracking track from Projekt Inertia's album of the same name; also featuring the singles Lemonade, Fall Away Like Rain, Bangkok, and Someone Like You. TransCom's release of the album also features a unique 2nd volume with exclusive tracks, b-sides and killer remixes from across the band's EP's. 

We Believe In Now

Projekt Inertia - We Believe In Now

Gorgeous piece of electro from the founders of TransCom; Dennis & Anastasia aka The Isle. From their forthcoming single of the same name. Think The Knife vs. Goldfrapp vs. Propaganda vs. Visage! 

The Isle - La Femme Exotique (Single Edit)

The first single off Alieonix's forthcoming LP: Invader is a pulsating slice of electronica/trance. Let the 2021 invasion begin...

Invader (Single)

Alieonix - Invader (Single Mix)

FALL AWAY LIKE RAIN - the 3rd single from Projekt Inertia's LP We Believe In Now.

Joining its brilliant siblings; the Bangkok and Lemonade singles, Fall Away Like Rain completes a trilogy of storming singles from Australia's very own Projekt Inertia; who have augmented their sound into a great package of dance music.

As usual Projekt Inertia are exploring the progressive house / indie music boundaries and blending them seamlessly. Once again Projekt Inertia’s attention to detail with their choice of remixers - chosen by the band through Soundcloud - is exquisite: James Kininmonth, Ilya Hype, Alessandro, Silinder, Alen Milivojevic, and Ego Valente.

BIO...

Transmission Communications (Trans:Com) is an independent record label based in Brisbane, Australia. We first established back in 1994 and we remain Brisbane’s original of the species – approaching our 20th year of activity.

We focus on production and performance of music across the spectrum of electronic influence. Trans:Com is not a major, and it is not a large company. It’s a business run by individuals with a passion for electronic music.

The label was originally formed to activate and support a completely new sector of music production and performance in a city previously known only for its quirky guitar-pop, grunge, and rock output. Many years later, Brisbane and indeed Australia has a very healthy electronic music scene with a solid range of originators of the genre, several important clubs, DJ’s, studios, producers, and a string of successful events. The city has developed into a key centre for electronic-music activity in the country.

Physically speaking, Trans:Com has released seminal compilations of local electronic music (Evidence, Cyberia, Abstraction) along with numerous individual bands, acts, and projects - including Projekt Inertia (formerly Inertia), Victor X-Ray, Low Key Operations and Nude Productions (now lowkey+nude), Pure Bunk, Sphere, Alieonix, Blood Party, Ande, Stormboy, VISI, Dharma Buffer, 8E38, The Isle, Jandy Rainbow, Dogmachine, Ostia, Tycho Brahe, All Electric Kitchen, Glitch, and Morgan Geist. We have also collaborated with Boxcar, Severed Heads, Lawrence English, Loveless, Dizzygotheca, Taiyo, and My Ninja Lover.

Having done the whole CD, vinyl, video, and cassette thing, the label is now focussed on digital distribution; providing its catalogue through iTunes and others, as well as an aggregation service for independent artists and other cottage labels.

Additionally, Trans:Com is passionate about the live context of electronic music - having organised key Brisbane electronica showcase events including Cyberia (1995), 101 (2001), The Silhouette Series (2006), and Upgrade (2007) amongst many others. We feel that, now more than ever, it is crucial to bridge the online- yet- disconnected world of digital music with the intimate experience that can only be gained through a live performance.

In doing so, Trans:Com has provided the platform for numerous bands and artists to commence their careers, collaborated with many others, marshalled the development of Brisbane as the new Australian centre for electronic music production and performance, and above all supported the ideology and ethics of independence, art and alternative media.

Our motto remains to this day; Progressive, Innovative, Electronica.
