Matrixxman - Assembly Line

Whilst primarily known for his Techno releases Matrixxman, aka Charles McCloud Duff, is no stranger to the kind of gothic, dark clubs sounds that make up Curses new compilation Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX, even working with Depeche Mode on their 2017 LP Spirit. It's the restless spirit of the late 70s and early 80s he channels here on Assembly Line, whose tremolo picked guitars and skeletal drum machines recall the likes of Bauhaus and early Cure singles to haunting effect.

Premiere: Matrixxman - Assembly Line

French musician Jerome Tcherneyan and Czech performance artist Barkosina Hanusova have been performing together as Years of Denial since 2016, electrifying audiences with their fusion of post-punk and goth with EBM and industrial. It Sucks, their exclusive contribution to Curses' Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX compilation, smashes sawtooth synths, pounding drums and distorted vocals together in a typically aggressive and exhilarating fashion.

Essaie pas - Retox

Making her debut Belgian-Japanese artist Aili teams up with one of Eskimo Recordings' most exciting new Belgian acts Transistorcake for the mesmerizing ‘Dansu’. Sung in a mixture of Japanese and English, ‘Dansu’ is a hymn to dancing the night away, the track’s taut Motorik rhythms and lambent washes of synths blending perfectly with Aili’s hushed vocals to create a hypnotic, languorously funky, track with echoes of artists like Can or Stereolab. 

With love from Gent, approved by Soulwax, Bill Brewster, Tom Barman, Pitchfork and more! https://soundcloud.com/ailimakesmusic https://soundcloud.com/transistorcake

"I left Tokyo for Belgium when I was 7 years old. In many ways my Japanese stayed at that level. When I sing in Japanese it puts me into this naive, almost childlike mindset that allows me to express what I feel right away. You don’t need to understand the words just the feeling that they convey." - Aili 

こんにちは、アイリと申します。7歳のときに東京からベルギーに引っ越しました。何くれとなく私の日本語はそのレベルにとどまりました。 日本語で歌うと、子供の頃のように自分の気持ちをすぐに表現することができます。皆さんに、言葉が分からなくても伝えたい気持ちを理解してもらいたいです。
