Xx Isis xX - Hekate's Love (Snippet)

Last night, while perusing my label's SoundCloud, I discovered a new feature that allowed me to organize my tracks by their added time. Among them, I stumbled upon a track named "Power Train." At that moment, I, Gustavo Martinez, was exclusively known as "The Acid Mind" in the realms of Peak Time and Hard Techno. Interestingly, this track deviated from my usual style, which was more raw, hypnotic, and tribal as T.A.M.

It seems that, during that creative phase, I crafted this unique piece, but it never saw the light of day. Now, after three years, I revisited it and was struck with amazement—it distinctly embodies the Uplifting raw and tribal essence that defines T.A.M.

Thank you sincerely for being an integral part of this journey.
I present to you the unreleased and free download track by T.A.M:

Artist: T.A.M
EP Title: Power Train
Label: The Acid Mind Recordings
Format: Digital
Genre: Electronic
Style: Driving / Raw Techno

REC 019 w/ Ellen Allien

The REC series compiles outstanding performances recorded in the club throughout the year, highlighting artists representing our love for electronic music.

Listening to Ellen Allien's serenade under the balcony of trance and techno back in December in our Room 01. This set is one hour of timeless club essence with gradual build-ups to first-class drops, hard cuts, and bouncy breaks. 

The Berliner perfectly balances binary and ternary rhythms, playing on all the grounds without getting lost.

Industrial Complexx presents a new set in a series of guest artist mixes. This time by James Demon, an artist who has dedicated his life to music and to the creation of soulful and ethereal sounds. He learned to sing and play the cello at a very young age, which solidified his musical curiosity. James was born with a gift for melody that has followed him throughout his life.

Growing up in the 90s rave scene, he was swept up in the sounds of Techno and Happy Hardcore and started collecting vinyls to experiment with on his first pair of turntables. He began exploring genres from electro to minimal, electroclash to EBM, but eventually found his true love in the dark and experimental soundscapes of Techno. He started DJing in the early 2000s at different clubs and shows across the United States. Playing mesmerizing, pulse-pounding beats that would later come to define his sound. 

In 2013, James moved to Berlin to deepen his passion for electronic music. He started throwing parties and DJing regularly at clubs like Wilde Renate, Griessmuehle, and Kit Kat Club.  James sound is often enigmatic and boundary-pushing. His aim is to connect his audience to the sacred through his music. James sessions are a ritual that transcends language and cultural barriers. 

In 2016, with an unwavering commitment to the underground scene, James decided to merge his passion for the mystical and Techno by launching a record label called Occultists. The label aims to showcase emerging artists who create a unique blend of electronic music, Post-Punk, and Dark Wave. The essence of this project was to create a label that was a doorway for the arcane and the mystical into the Techno scene.

With a vision to craft a sonic landscape tailored for witches and esoteric forces. Occultists was created to bring etheral music to the ravers and make them dance in a transcendental realm. Occultists' roster (Lucia Luna, Mystic Future, Dugong, Skin and many more..) is a blend of genre-defying artists. Its essence is a wide range of musical styles that are characterized as dark and ethereal, with sounds that evoques melancholy and beauty created through icy synthesizers, harmonic riffs and fast tempos.

In 2022, he released “Dark Sacrament” an EP on Coincidence Recordings after that in 2023, he released a new EP called “Night Child”. His style of music often features spellbinding basslines and atmospheric synths, which creates a vibe that gets you fully immersed in the sound.  Through his journey as an artist James was very inspired by horror movies in his music production. It evokes in him ways to push boundaries and connect with the unknown.

Today James is known for his captivating performances that blur the lines between music, art, and ritual. His art is a contrast of elements such as light and darkness, feminine and masculine, soft and hard. This interplay of opposites creates a perfect harmony in his creative expression. His music combines haunting melodies, pulsating beats, and obsessive snare drums. His dark and hypnotic soundscapes have solidified his reputation as a master of the Unconventional Avant-garde Electronic genre.
