The release date of the album commemorating the fifth anniversary of Soil Records is approaching, and from Industrial Complexx we have set out to review the 50 tracks of this quintuple album. In each post we analyse one of the five cds of the album, and this time we talk about the ten tracks that make up the fourth cd.

The cd opens with a track that is difficult to classify, this perception of complexity is better understood when we see that the person who signs Black Band is Martin Steinebach with his project Monoid, and the fact is that the German producer has a career that spans around 30 years at the head of important musical projects, so from Black Band we can expect very diverse influences, from dark rock to post-punk or even spoken word. Taut + Tame joins this album with the primitive techno of Opus Pistorum, this pair, formed by D. Crowhurst and Matt Flag, have a fairly short discographic career. Something similar happens with Disappearer, an artist who contributes with the dark electro of Scomparoso, as it is an American project with a rather limited volume of work, although it is a popular project in this music circuit. Wydma is in the same situation as the two previous projects, as he is a Polish producer with a great activity in terms of events, and with a discography that is reduced to a few releases since last year, however, with SZRRDD he shows a great background and a great control with the bass lines. Canadian artist Inside Blur and Belgian producer Ottoman Grüw team up to present Espace Liminal, a cut with diverse influences such as techno, EBM and industrial.

We don't know the origin of Lvcerate, however we note that Critical Factor has a sound that we could perfectly link with the proto trance of the 90's. Spit Mask is the couple formed by Bryan and Rachel Jackson, a duo with an industrial, extreme and incredible sound, and they prove it with Screaming in the Streets. With Oblivion we don't venture to say who embodies this project or where it comes from, we can only recognise the quality and originality of DriedBlood, a track that sounds like darkwave and in which a great technical and sonic work can be appreciated. The two artists who close this cd don't need too much introduction because their trajectories in the European industrial scene are well known; Katran is the alias of Darko Kolar, founder of Jezgro and one of the members of the Serbian duo Ontal who, with The Night Garden, his contribution to this album, shows his commitment to the forcefulness of industrial techno. Who closes this fourth cd, and whose artistic development is well known, is the Italian Adriano Canzian with I LOVE U, a cut of acid techno with a very suggestive voice.

Release date: July 4th, 2023.

5 Years Soil Records

Premiere: Adriano Canzian - I LOVE U [Soil Records]

WL//WH is pleased to premiere "Guerra Fría", the opening track from the recently released debut album "Choledark" by RETROVISOR, the Minimal Dark Wave Dance music project of Cochabamba, Bolivia-based multidisciplinary artists and performers, Huascar Rodríguez and Paola Vargas.

A bitter reflection on modern's day reality, "Cold War" lists the brutal force tactics and psychological operations used by the global government to scare the public into compliance, gaining total surveillance and control.

Strobing, hypnotic, immersive dancefloor auras blend droning omens, relentless pulsating acidic buzzing bass swirls, stacked mechanical marching dance beats, industrial clangor, spatial FXs, and disorienting distorted frequencies around mysterious, aloof, spoken word warnings and distant mind-jolting tones to evoke feelings of danger, paranoia, and dread at the hands of modern dystopic oppression.

Music: Programming and Synthesizers by Huascar Rodríguez.
Vocals: Paola Vargas

Inspired by Front 242, Skinny Puppy and Clock DVA, Arno and Tibor were fellow students at the Center of Electronic Music (CEM) in Arnhem, Netherlands during the mid 80's.

After getting a record deal with the Belgian Antler Subway, and started producing their first EP, originally meant as EBM. But since they were in the middle of proceeding, they took the chance to incorporate some of those influences in their first record, 'Force D'Inquisition', in 1990, which became one of the earliest Dutch house records.

Track A2 is the legendary 'Apocalypse', which was quite a hit at the time both in the EBM and acid scene, with gentlemen like Frankie Knuckles playing it in his sets.
Arno Peeters was later part of Random XS and Urban Electro and worked solo as Spasms on Djax-Up-Beats.

PREMIERE | Sex Kino - Who Do You Love (Alejandro Molinari Remix)[Roam] 2019

In this aseptic landscape, standardised and patented by corporate masters of light and magic, the only thrills officially available are the predictable frissons of amusement park rides, up this way and down the other. We are looking for passages towards more exciting forms of life.
