Bitch Brigade
Dendrite
$12
Crunch Pod continues to expand it's eclectic roster of unique artists, presenting the debut "Dendrite" from Australia's young "Bubbergum Cyber" artist Bitch Brigade. Combining vocals reminiscent of Ladytron and Battery, Bitch Brigade's Agrippa Cryoflesh varies light, bouncing EBM ("Licky the Carnivorous Pony") suited for the dancefloor with the percussive and more introspective (the Snog-ish "Tears Are What We Do Now") having the same success, but never covered with the trite, jaded residue left behind from so many other artists in the genre. Jump on board with a true rising star in EBM, and leave all the prefabricated angst and anger of the less inspired behind...

I am truly excited for it and hope that people listen to and like it." -Eric (PHENOTRACT) 10 tracks and about an hour of music here with a more loungey, new wave electronica feel to it featuring some nice programming by Eric as well.

Klangstabil
Vertraut
$10
this collection includes the original version of klangstabil's most well-known track, which captured the attention of listeners world-wide right from its first release on a compilation in 2002. besides that you will find eight interpretations of 'vertraut' demonstrating the versatility of work that can be extracted out of the catchy, familiar motif. some of the artists who have remixed the track have based their interpretation on intelligent dance music: the breakbeat-framed somatic responses version, a hybrid of breakcore and idm by u.s. project access to arasaka, keef baker's metric electro background, which turns into post-rock with dense guitars, and architect's daniel myer gives us dancefloor-capable pounding beats topped with a plausible new melody line to complement the original theme. torben wendt (diorama) turns 'vertraut' into beautiful melodic body music, while synapscape keep the original track structure but replace the instrumentation and beats, turning the theme into a heavy electronic floorburner. ksdj is maurizio blanco himself, adding some newly faceted rhythm patterns and melody lines, making his version a contemporary dj anthem. l'ombre from canada ends up the remix section with lush ambient electronica at its finest. the melancholic ambiance of 'zweiter schritt' and 'ein schritt weiter' not only close this release, but also mark the end of one of the most important chapters of klangstabil's existence. in 2002, the album 'kopfmusik' would have been published on ant-zen but only 6 tracks were produced to completion, one of which was 'vertraut'. The project was eventually renounced for personal reasons and 'vertraut' was the only track published in its original version. the artwork was already completed by aiga rasch, an old friend of klangstabil's, famous for her illustrations for the youth series 'die drei ???' in which, with her very distinct technique, she has achieved great success. after 'kopfmusik' klangstabil started straight away with 'taking nothing seriously' (2004) and incorporated some elements of 'kopfmusik' into it. the track 'ein schritt weiter' is an early, incomplete version of 'away'. other elements of 'kopfmusik' can be heard in 'lauf, lauf!' and 'beziehungsohr' from the album 'math & emotion' (2008). this release is not an album, it is the end of the story for 'kopfmusik' and its history, which accompanied klangstabil for 10 years. finally, they close that book and put it on the shelf. detailed information on 'vertraut' and 'kopfmusik' will be found in the enclosed cd booklet.

Squaremeter
Heliogabal
$14
from ancient history and forward into modern posterity, the name of heliogabal a.k.a. elagabal has become the symbol of the roman iron age's vice and decadence as well as for how oriental influences were fatal to this culture. a massive conflict between conservative romans and those who followed the syrian religious traditions (themselves personified by the juvenile but extremely vain emperor himself) overshadowed heliogabal's reign. his rule disastrously failed due to the absence of a give-and-take philosophy and a lack of an understanding of the duties involved with wielding the power or a roman emperor. after the greek mythology of his last album 'nyx', mathis mootz took heliogabal's life as an inspiration for this release which marks the tenth anniversary of squaremeter. mootz' skills of creating unbearable tension and covering all bases between absolute silence up to vibrating choirs and distant industrial outbursts are clear on this album. 'heliogabal' is an intermixture of hypnotic deep drones, haunting basses and disturbing soundscapes. cinematic field recordings, intermittent hypnotic sequencer loops and urgent eruptions of sound merge into an incredible collection of atmospheric dark ambient tracks. this album might be useful as an imaginary trip into a sable, a cruel past where man had the potential of being a god - before finally being disgraced. adjust the headphones - references are legion, sunn O))), lustmord, clock dva..

Mika Goedrijk
Looking-Glass World
$14
i took a long look in the mirror and decided not to talk about the past or future, but about the present. they are all intertwined anyway, so making an artificial distinction between them is a useless act. the post-modernists' "tricks of the trade", if you will, of intertextuality and author's intervention (typical of doctorow's style of writing in the book of daniel) were used in this recording. but i let the mirror image do the "intruding" and be an "intertextual" factor. afterall i wasn't writing a book like doctorow did. i did not always agree, but i thought it was time that "it" had its voice, so i did not waste any time on pointless arguing with myself. instead i reasserted my disagreement with derrida's "end of the great stories". every story needs to be told and the listener decides for him/herself whether the story is great one or not. there are no guidelines or rules in this process - no matter how hard scholars try to convince you that there are. whether this recording is "understandable", "recognizable" or "transparent" to the listener is not my concern. it is what it is: me and my mirror-image - nothing more, nothing less. enjoy. mika goedrijk. march 2010 one year after pellicules, mika goedrijk presents the next aural view of his inner self with looking-glass world. musically, the self conceptional shift into the world of ambient idm sounds is evident. well placed patterns enriched with mellow guitar slides (dead air), melancholic piano lines (at the 11th hour), a distinctive (nearly) aphex-twin synth (white sand semantics), archaic trumpet calls (lost decade), pounding breakbeats with pulsing sub bass (rusty swiss army knife, le grand mal), make this release a fascinating blend of contemporary electronic tones. looking-glass world is an album of otherworldly ambience entwined with a blend of acoustic sounds and sheets of sequenced patterns. a highly aesthetic sonic universe, where moods and mastery melt into warm, repetitive arrangements. have a look into the looking-glass world.

Proyecto Crisis
Made In Chile
$12
Proyecto Crisis was made up in Santiago de Chile where the hatred, power abuse and death are just round the corner; this made Felipe Alarcn to create a musical project influenced by such reality. In 2004, with the technology and digitalization of the world, Felipe decided to break with his soloist project and joined a vocalist who would represent the strength and attitude of the band, being such time when Mariano Lopez gets on stage. After this union, they begin to write and create together, experiencing harder sounds of EBM and Dark Electro. With influences such as , Das Ich, Nitzer Ebb and Suicide Commando, they create a perfect fusion until obtaining an acid voice and a shuddering sound making them unique within the Chilean movement. This debut CD presents ultra fast paced Harsh EBM with Spanish vocals, frantic synths, thick sequences, club beats, and a modern sound. 18 tracks fill the disc to the brim with a bonus remix EP from LA-X ,Die Braut, Say Just Words, Menschdefekt, Destruction Blitzkrieg... Bands such as HOCICO (when they were more fast paced), AMDUSCIA, PUNTO OMEGA, and TAMTRUM come to mind when listening to this, but PROYECTO CRISIS have captured their own distinct take on this style after a short while. Proyecto crisis intends to express the irregularities of the Chilean society and the world, showing and expressing the constant crisis in which we are living,blinded by the reigning capitalism of this country. Not to be missed, this album will not let you sleep, thats for sure.. Unrelenting, busy, and speedy demon EBM!

Darkened Skies
$12
Hailing from deep within the mid west, US, V1rtual D3scent (V1D3) finds its origins. The band is comprised of Erich Fate and Scott Pilz and for close to three years these brothers have been honing their craft, using classically trained hands at the piano, with the analytical approach of technology to create a hybrid form of electronic music that is both symphonic and stentorian. The debut CD is now out on DSBP Records and reads as more of a "full length CD with a BONUS EP attached".10 original tracks/versions of EBM/ Industrial with touches of synthpop melodies and memorable choruses.Piano and strings blend in very well in the mix, and the vocals remind us of ASSEMBLAGE 23, SEABOUND, and COLONY 5. 8 Bonus tracks round out this CD if 78+ minutes with remixes of the "singles" from TELEMETRY,DJ DARKBOY, CHAINED ANTHEM, ACRYLIC SPIKE PROJECT, DJ SPETSNAZ, POLARIZED MIND and V1D3!

Dust Is Noise
Fractured Forms
$12
It all started out with a few synth-lines and a few stories to tell. It wasnt supposed to be fancy but hang somewhere on a rawer level. That was the aim of the music when DUST IS NOISE was formed by Jacob, Mike J and Mike T. Collectively the three members work as the electronic outfit ALTER DER RUINE, an act known for dirty, funky electro. In their downtime they found themselves writing melodic synthpop and while they enjoyed it they knew it couldnt be worked into the ADR live sets without causing heads to implode. Rather than leave the songs on the shelf they chose to add vocals and dress the tunes up as an entirely different package. With heavy emphasis on a big beat, grooving synths and incensed vocals DUST IS NOISE jammed along on a mission to complete a full length album. After playing a slew of live dates they caught the attention of Vendetta Music and shortly after signed on board to release their debut album titled Fractured Forms.

V01D
This Is Not A False Alarm Anymore
$22
After debuting this Fall with a well-received single collaboration with Ayria, Torontos own v01d is set to launch his debut double-CD on Artoffact Records. Entitled This Is Not A False Alarm Anymore, v01ds debut is a sonic riddle without any easy-access key. The album is dense and cerebral, veering into strange territory for industrial, including off-time drumming, live guitars, and very well-written lyrics. Not your usual fodder. Of course, v01d shows his roots on every track, meshing elements of Haujobb, Boards of Canada, Pop Will Eat Itself, Faith No More, and Underworld into a slick and surprising release. This Is Not A False Alarm Anymore is yet another quality release to come out on the Artoffact label and firmly places v01d as a new and innovative artist to watch!

Asche
The Easter Island Phenomenon
$14
the easter island phenomenon can be compared to the symptom of a disease that has existed since the beginning of mankind. as an artist that is not isolated from contemporary world history, ache has titled his third ant-zen full length album this phenomenon. anger, fear and anxiety are brilliantly converted into 11 powerful compositions that range from pounding rhythm industrial anthems to menacing dark ambient soundscapes - a threatening journey between distorted disco and noise brutality. besides the album tracks, 7 like minded artists re-construct ashes' message via exciting remixes (which have been added onto the cd in mp3 format). all of the remix artists, except for dj intoner, have already been released on asche's own label (fich-art). this is a fantastic and long awaited album for open minded listeners. "the easter island story is a story for our times. we too are on an island floating on an endless sea. there are differences, of course. it could be said that easter island is tiny and that it was only a matter of time before the resources in such a closed system were used up. but there are parallels between the islanders' attitude towards their environment and our own, and this is the most frightening part of the story. .." (excerpt from 'the story of easter island')

Ginormous
The Sound of Love Impermanent
$14
"a few years before the making of this album, lisa wahlander introduced me to the choreography of maria gillespie and her company, oni dance. i immediately connected with maria's work, and was especially drawn to her music selections. i asked lisa to give maria my first two albums as well as a deru album from my good friend ben wynn. some months later in the summer of 2006, maria incorporated my track "to reveal interiors" and deru's "only the circle" into her beautiful, haunting piece "la hora de salir." it was the first time that either ben or i had seen dance choreographed to our music. since i listen to and create my music largely in solitude, i never realized that the experience of having my work filtered through other artists' minds and bodies was something i so craved. by the fall, the transition to a new studio coupled with a hectic professional life had slowed progress on my third album, "at night, under artificial light." around this time, maria invited lisa and me to a dance performance at the ford amphitheater in hollywood. before the show maria mentioned she was working on a new piece and asked if i would write the entire score. she was accustomed to creating choreography first and adding music late in the process, but with this new work she wanted to start with the music and use that as inspiration for the choreography. i said yes on the spot. i started working on a sketch the next day, even before i had the benefit of maria's direction. just from seeing her work and hearing the music she selected in the past, i felt like i had enough to go on. i played the sketch to maria and she said, "that's it. that is the main theme of the piece." that sketch became the title track on this album. i put my "artificial light" project on the backburner and started churning out more sketches for maria, with her direction and input. unlike the sluggish work of finishing my album, the dance score poured out rapidly. creating music for someone else's purposes seemed to be all i needed to gain momentum again. not only did it satisfy a longstanding desire of mine to make more spacious and patient music, but it was also a welcome occasion to incorporate the talents of friends, providing a home for some unfinished, collaborative sketches, and motivating us to make some new music together. i produced more music than maria could fit in her dance, so we had to cut tracks and edit the remaining ones down to fit into a tight half hour. that process was painful, but i got through it with the knowledge that i would eventually craft a full-length album from the work produced for the score. the dance, titled "the splendor of gretel," premiered to a sold out audience at the ford amphitheater in july 2007. seeing maria's stunning work set to the music i created for her that night was a deeply moving experience." - bryan konietzko, december 2009 - even if you will never have the opportunity to watch the dance score, this album works perfectly as a mindscape soundtrack. electronic sounds, classical strings, guitars and gentle vocals are the components for this fascinating work of art. stylistically, 'the sound of love impermanent' can be described as an amalgam of ambient and contemporary orchestral music enriched with the addition of post rock structures. a remarkable release by a well-respected artist - give it a try!

Lowness
Undertow
$14
lowness is a one man project of seattle's scott sturgis, a musician active since the mid-nineties with projects like converter, dbs, notime and pain station. although lowness exists since the end of 2005, sturgis took the time needed to make the first lowness release 'undertow'. inspired by artists as disparate as chrome, neu!, pink floyd, harmonia, black widow, subarachnoid space, psychic ills, amon dl II and indian jewelry, this album can be described as an ambient industrial psychedelic hybrid. driving r-box beats, swirling synth dots, mighty, pulsing subbasses and slicing guitar drones result in dark, hypnotic rhythmic soundscapes with a nightmarish and in places exotic feel. detailed post-rock instrumentation, subtle electronic textures and often tribalistic grooves melt into one-of-a-kind compositions created with strings and keys. lowness' direction reflects an original take on familiar genre themes, but pushes way beyond specific genre trappings by tossing aside the cliches and commonality to focus on the raw emotion involved in creating music. devastating and chilling at the same time, 'undertow' is an album recommended for intense listening in the nighttime, just before dawn....

The Prayer Tree
The Prayer Tree
$14
the prayer tree is an asian tradition consisting of a tree with metal branches upon which people can put written prayers. it also refers to a small temple in downtown tokyo, a centenarian tree that has been saved from destruction and where people regularly come to pray or make offerings. the idea behind it is the one of quietness in the midst of noise. its the kind of little spaces that offer you a place to rest, to think, to meditate while surrounded by the ever so growing agitation of our cities. yet the idea is not the one of a 'struggle' between noise and silence. it is not quietness versus noise, but quietness and noise co-existing. guillaume eluerd and jrme chassagnard have been known in the electronic music scene for years. chassagnard as a member of ab ovo and as a solo artist. eluerd records under his own name and with his musical project nimp. together they have formed the prayer tree, and their first self titled album is now seeing the light of day.with this project, the prayer tree typify the gift of silence and recovery in eight songs of sheer beauty and slight melancholy. redemption is a prevalent theme - through a journey/physical way (tokyo, silent stones), through technology (ubik), through experiencing a book (new york) or in a religious sense (all those who just couldnt make it, the golden hour). most of the songs refer to a moment, a fragment of time where your life has changed and/or you take the decision to change it for the better. these are pictures of thoughts, contemplation of yourself and of your surrounding. as a whole, the album is the musical equivalent of the enjoyment of these moments while having a taste of true happiness (at least for a little while). with this release the prayer tree present an album of quiet, introspection but also an album of strong and inventive songs. eluerd's poetic lyrics are set to a brilliant variety of subtle, colourful arrangements while acoustic and electronic instruments interact perfectly with a mellow voice. one can simply bathe in the lush sensuality of the instruments and compositions. give it a listen, you will not regret it.

Atrabilis Sunrise
Pillgrimage
$14
hello? god? are you there? it's me... " all things in life, whether good or bad, can be sold provided they're sugarcoated and smell like strawberries, pine trees or flowers; other goods can be sold provided they are applied on properly perforated blotting paper. the blue unicorn will scare you enough to miss out on the chance of a lifetime and bart simpson will turn out to be the savior who rescues the primitives. congratulations! you have just hit rock bottom. "i have been taking quite a bit of these drugs lately and i feel different. i hear voices and they tell me to be humble..." atrabilis sunrise's "pillgrimage" is a story about psychedelics, religion and unconditional surrender; a possible soundtrack to an unnamed road movie involving more drugs than "fear and loathing in las vegas", more bad trips as in 'easy rider' and more sportive activities than seen in 'the passion of christ'. "i see them becoming larger in numbers and i must follow the leader... maybe you know him, he says he's your son..." this songbook counts eleven tracks of some of the best death industrial you will most likely encounter for some time. eleven 'psalms' written and orchestrated by the frenchman padre p.c. who created atrabilis sunrise after the demise of catharsis. under this pseudonym he released several cdr's and one white vinyl 7" on formosan rec, the predecessor of raubbau. "he tells me to find them all..." "pillgrimage" is an untold tale of the noughties; made of sleepless nights in the country, weird meetings and brought to you by drugs and other kinds of banned cults. for better, for worse. "pillgrimage" is the journey towards the unknown through the combined eyes of the children of god and the children of the corn.

Electro Synthetic Rebellion
Distorted Memories
$15
A mix of new tracks and remixes, mostly from his previous album "Post Industrial" this actually boasts a running time of over an hour with plenty for EBM lovers to get their teeth into. The remixes, as a rule, stick to the tried and tested EBM formula with kudos going to the Arabic mood that graces the 'dead or alive' mix of Cyberthief and Psyclonicold's interpretation of "Low Life", the original of which opens proceedings in typical ESR style with strong melodics making an instant impression. Indeed, the new pieces are sure to please his fans, as is "Twisted Shadows" which sees the first fruits of his collaboration with one Jerome Caulier under the name Joint Vision. By staying faithful to the ESR sound it doesn't see anything radically new going on but its another strong piece while the untitled ESR 2009 demo is indicative of many more good things yet to come from Vince. Highlight of the disc, however, is the cover of Public Relation's "Eighty Eight" which hits the spot right from the off with a bagful of excellent interlinking melodics in a style that's got 'electro classic' stamped all over it! Not so much an EP then, more of a mini-album that provides a constantly enthralling listen, this is one not to be missed but, as it's limited to only 100 copies!! Get it Now! we only have 20 here @ DSBP!

Architect
Consume Adapt Create
$14
for years he has made a name for himself in the modern electronic music scene but the most outstanding of daniel myer's (countless) projects is Architect. three years after lower lip interface hymen records presents the long awaited fifth album: consume adapt create. the difference between the true creative artist and the impersonator is the way they deal with influences. myer's inspirations range from drum and bass wizards enduser and current value up to breakcore warlords venetian snares and otto von schirach - but it is unmistakably architect you hear in every note of each track. consume adapt create: a unique blend of atmospheric idm, cinematic samples, powerfully distorted sequences, ramming electro grooves, razor-sharp breakbeats, and haunting ambiance. music to move the dancefloor while still creating enough depth and texture for heavy listening through your headphones. once again, d.myer demonstrates astounding compositions. well-placed sounds and complex arrangements of synthetic noise. as heard on this record: "i see things..." - listen up and see for yourself!

Somatic Responses
Neon
$14
john and paul healy a.k.a. somatic responses are aurally focussed on complex dislocated & broken beats, distorted intelligent constructions, fascinating sonic structures, force and sweetness enlaced. their early productions' main focus were on hardcore and techno, later on they expanded the musical regions up to electro, dubstep, and even breakcore territories. as a diligent confluence of these styles, 'neon' is a dark, claiming caleidoscope of state-of-the-art electronic sound mastery. dubstep beats are combined with dark ambience and manipulated voice samples. fast, heavy breakbeats are mixed with distorted synth lines creating an industrial music flair. drum and bass meets electro sequences. pulsating subbasses and acherontic synth lines induce a multitude of moods between aggression, disarray and melancholy... this album show how these icons of the challenging electronic scene are still able to open their ears and tap fresh ideas from today's music sensbilities.

Bipol
Fritter Away
$14
three years after his first album andreas brinkert (bipol) has released his second album entitled 'fritter away'. brinkert has once again demonstrated his skills of creating moods which range from apprehension and aggression to disarray. musically bipol assimilates classic dark industrial by creating a multitude of hypnotic repetitive sequences, dark drones and mechanical noises that are highlighted with a large variety of complex beats. the twelve tracks include subliminal bits of sound that drift below the surface so that the listener is deeply captivated. bipol is supported on three tracks by tim kniep (synapscape) and andreas schramm (asche) and the album's mental intensity is that much more enforced. a superior work of present day industrial music - a sound that forces you to listen - definitely not music to fritter away the time.

Diaphane
Samdhya
$14
in 2008, rgis baillet and jrme chassagnard decided to pause their project ab ovo and to continue with solo projects. while j.chassagnard's first solo album (f)light was released on hymen records, r.baillet formed diaphane and began to work on samdhya (which has now been released on ant-zen). samdhya (sanscritic for 'twilight') emanates an atmosphere of reassurance and slight melancholy. soothing soundscapes and complex rhythms form a mixture of ruminant and impulsive tunes which hypnotize and stimulate at the same time. the well balanced acoustic and electronic instrumentation, in places enriched with voice samples, result in an enthralling, cinematic feel. diaphane's aural cosmos has to be explored like an undiscovered continent; those who are curious and open minded will certainly be richly rewarded.

Impurfekt
Human
$13
We are taught to view ourselves and our world in black and white. To observe instead of experience. To follow instead of feel. We no longer live. We simply exist. Shells of what we could be; our potential dormant beneath the status quo. We must cast aside thoughts and beliefs which imprison. Abandon the religion of perfection; the politics of fear; and the culture of complacency. Remember what it means to be human. To love and hate. To discover and leave behind. To succeed and error. With every effort impurfekt strives to stir the embers of the human heart. To awaken the fire grown cold within. To ever be a reflection of the human state. Impurfekt is dark, electronic music. Begun in the winter of 2008; it is a synthesis of gritty, infectious industrial and a softer, more instrumental approach. The result is a progressive contrast of moving melodies, distorted rhythms, complex synth manipulation, and processed vocals. The musical style of impurfekt is most influenced by industrial artists such as Velvet Acid Christ, Skinny Puppy and Wumpscut; as well as trip hop artists such as Massive Attack; and ambient artists such as The Future Sound of London. impurfekt is also influenced by a long list of film and video game composers.

The Ludovico Technique
The Ludovico Technique
$7
The name itself stems from the drug-assisted aversion therapy found in the novel and film "A Clockwork Orange", in which the patient is forced to view violent imagery while injected with experimental medication in an attempt to condition the subjects behavior. The Ludovico Technique as a band takes this concept and transforms it into music. The lyrical content draws from personal experience and observation - you will hear nothing which has not been translated from feeling to sound. It is harsh industrial music highlighting the dark aspects of the human experience as well as the depths to which the human mind can deteriorate. 5 tracks here which push the boundaries of electro/industrial with a flavor of its own, and the vocals are amazing! sometimes you think its 2 or more vocalists collaborating but its not, its MR. BEN V.!!

Autoclav 1.1
Where Once Were Exit Wounds
$12
Where Once Were Exit Wounds perpetuates the Autoclav1.1 legacy with a stunning presentation of electronic works that truly captures the heart and soul of this Tympanik artist favourite.

Autoclav1.1 fearlessly interjects a powerful concoction of love, loss, and despair fueled by lathering electronic rhythms akin to a thoughtful drive accelerating almost uncontrollably along a distant country road on a warm summer night.

Imminent
Cask Strength
$15
cask strength is the term used in whisky making to describe the strength of whisky (in a cask) during maturation. this strong whisky is not the one that is usually bottled, as at cask strength the whisky isn't as drinkable. most bottled whisky is normally diluted with spring water to bring its strength (alcohol by volume) down to a level that makes it more palatable, usually about 40%. while the majority of whisky bottled by distillers is watered down, some whiskies are bottled at cask strength, which is about 64% abv. imminent starvation has been a leading light in the intersection of powerful industrial music and advanced electronics. incessant technoid rhythms, twisted electronic noise and cold, sinister atmospheric textures are the key ingredients in olivier moreau's musical spectrum. after finishing 'nord / north' in 1999, he destroyed his mixing desk, gave away the pieces as part of the limited 'nord' release and shortened his moniker to imminent. after the name change he produced remixes for sonar, iszoloscope, orphx and others, appeared on compilations, performed live and collaborated with synapscape as 'the incredible three'. furthermore he constantly worked on this new full length album - which has now been completed. like any good whisky that has to mature for at least 10 years in a cask, it took the same time for this release to maturate - and it was worth awaiting the ripening. indeed the music is comparable to a cask strength whisky's taste: raw, aggressive, powerful, without any concession or any additive to dilute it's true nature, but it also includes a lot of complexity that awaits to be discovered by a true connoisseur. straight beats interwoven with sophisticated breaks, brilliantly placed samples, intertwining powerful atmospheric synth textures and forceful distorted sequences (without inhibition) form into the sophisticated style of industrial music imminent is known and loved for. 64 minutes of music - just like a 64% abv bottled cask strength whisky contains - taste it and full satisfaction is guaranteed!

100blumen
Down With the System, Long Live the System!
$15
100blumen's third album on ant-zen is a very comprehensive and elaborate one that displays a perfect merging of powerful rhythmic floral industrial and haunting technoid ambience. throbbing dance sledge hammers like 'the unrest', 'the anger' and the electro anarchic power noise anthem 'unbreakable' prove that this artist is one of the leading present day industrial masters. another facet of 100blumen's mastery can be experienced on atmospheric tracks like 'tired green' where hypnotic repetitive patterns and puissant sub-bass create a continuous hypnotic flow. the album's conclusion, 'klimavernderung' combines m.nickels' punk roots with hammering e-beats and electroacoustic sound collages - an amazing collaboration with guitarist c.tiegelkamp and marching dynamics' shane talada. this is another step of the one man army 100blumen's plan to destroy all flower haters with the burning beats of anarchy... and after that, he will have a drink. eat the rich or die trying!

Defrag
Lament Element
$14
'lament element' presents a dynamic collision of power electronic styles. crushing distorted beats, lush melodic soundscapes, and massive sub-basses collide with idm edits and dubstep grooves. a perfect bridge between the distorted aggressiveness of drum'n'bass and idm's complexity. imagine scorns minimalist grooves on speed overdosed with dubstep injections. riding eclectic curves between styles, jeff dodson calls into battle an assortment of punishingly heavy tunes, boosting the tension and emotion to unimaginable dimensions. "the title itself literally means 'the reason to sing for the dead'. although not a literal application to anything, i intended it as a question: 'what's the reason people write passionate music?' that and a name should just sounds great." (defrag). indeed it does, try it! in 2000, jeff dodson and matt flego created an industrial/noise experiment called bitstorm. as the duo started playing out more and more, they eventually gained the attention of several record labels and decided to make invisible records their first home. as production on their first full-length album 'self construct' began, jeff and matt decided from that point forward to pen their work under the name defragmentation. 'self construct' received critical acclaim from all over the globe and soon the duo developed a hardcore cult following, and the fan given name of defrag. in winter of 2004, matt flego departed defrag to explore other paths, and soon after his departure, jeff found himself at a crossroad. he could either shut the project down and continue his budding career in motion graphics, or he could take a chance and keep defrag going. committed and very stubborn, he decided to do both. in 2004 jeff picked up the project and moved to los angeles where he continued doing motion graphics and simultaneously built his own home studio and library or personal audio work. he left invisible records in the hope of starting fresh. soon after relocating, jeff decided to expand his motion graphic business (www.rainfallfilms.com) to also include sound design and music composition (www.runsilent.org). by using the same signature sound that made defrag unique and applying it to his commercial work, jeff soon had a line of 'a-list' companies and corporations begging for his music to be in their projects. before too long jeffs music was popping up in ad campaigns, video games, and theaters for such clients as nike, g4 tv, ferrari, jgermeister and philips, as well as projects like x-men 3 the official game, and the massively successful legend of zelda film trailer. he was invited to speak at one of the most successful motion graphics and music festivals in the world, the offf festival in 2009. during this time jeff redefined his own music and the music of defrag. finally, in 2009 jeff decided it was time to get back in the music industry and was recruited by hymen records, where he releases the first defrag album in five years.

Genevieve Pasquier
Le Cabaret Moi
$14
three years after soap bubble factory and virgin pulses, ant-zen is proud to present genevive pasquier's new album. from the very first note the listener will be mesmerized by the elegant electronic pulses that are dominated by the persuasive/icy quality of her vulnerable and adorable voice. le cabaret moi is genevive pasquier's very own cabaret. a cabaret which transforms her desires into fourteen songs of diverse styles (without regard to any arbitrariness). the music's scope ranges from subtle, slow-moving ambience (changing, nobody's darling), electro noise tunes (bouge!, fusion), beautiful atmospheric lounge cabaret (mon cabaret), insistent electroid beats (rubberpop) and finally into a furious rapid interpretation of the normal's warm leatherette. at once beautiful and distant, genevive pasquier's delivery speaks to everyone's feelings of loneliness, anger and pleasure that crop up at some point in life. a revue of class and noblesse - enter and enjoy your stay!

Gjoll
Sum of Transformation
$14
"all forms of direct action are practiced by nonhuman animals, albeit without communicative elements. nonhuman animals routinely and deliberately destroy walls and other structures erected by people; "steal" themselves and other animals away from human possession and refuse to accede to human authority, hegemony, or boundaries. birds, insects and other animals often do organize themselves to fulfill collective purposes by nonhierarchical and non-coercive means and thus offer models of alternatives to governments." (pattrice jones: natural anarchism in action) on their third full length album this icelandic project continues its ideological struggle against men's arrogance and pretend predominance. wrathful but never nihilistic, gjlls lyrics appeal to those who still keep an open mind, a large amount of hope, and the ability to separate right from wrong. musically, jhann eirksson and sigurur hararson have expanded their previous album's harsh eruptions into powerful ambient noise hymns that are combined with a kind of post-krautrock feel. sum of transformations contrasts analogue guitar strokes with the digital iciness of dark and disturbing soundscapes. an outstanding release, both calming and intensely enraged at the same time. not to be taken lightly.

Tonal Y Nagual
La Sierra Mecanica
$13
La Sierra Mecnica marks a turning point in the creative process of Tonal y Nagual.Their journey started in a barren, long forgotten desert but after five years of wandering they reached the premises of something called Intelligent Pop, strangely captivating tunes saturated with rare emotional roughness comparable to acts like Genevive Pasquier and the newer works of Portishead. Their third album starts with bluesy electronics and the remarkable Anybody, a wonderful hymn reminding of Interpol. They keep this level quickly pulling you into their world of hypnotic rhythms and singularly lamenting harmonies climaxing into desperate beauty in Grave, especially when the guest vocals of Genevive Pasquier set in; after that there is a subtle turning point and everything gets rougher, dirtier, leading to pulsing beats shredding through the outskirts of the cities banging on the walls of urban ignorance. This culminates in the brilliant Cog in the machine a definite clubhit to come. Two remixes from the Telektroponks Die Perlen and Zero Degree complete this ingenious album.

The Law-Rah Collective
Solitaire
$13
a picture of the house you once called home, the smell of white roses, lavender in the garden and a sound too distant to recognise. anything can and everything will trigger memories. fragments of sound have been manipulated by the [law-rah] collective to tell a new story, to create a new reality with everything you find on your way. this can be anything from mental images to hidden emotions, from unknown smells to forgotten dreams. everything transforms you into who you are now, in this reality, at this moment. though it's not likely that every part of who you are is the truth. your memories are your interpretation of the truth and don't have to be truthfull at all. as a child you played the game where one person tells a sentence and it follows a chain of people. what comes out of it is a new sentence, which very probably has nothing to do with the beginning. on their new album 'solitaire' the [law-rah] collective is playing exactly that game, albeit differently. like on the 2008 ant-zen album 'inspiration', the duo martijn pieck and bauke van der wal upped the ante with the collective's 7th full release. sound wise they return to the collective's origins: a combination of ambient structures and deep drones with sudden breaks in the sound spectrum. 'solitaire's threatening and oppressive mood will leave you in a state and in a place where you haven't been before. a new reality which is more then the sum of its parts.

Individual Totem
Mumia Vera - A Collection of Rarities & Remixes
$18
A long time ago, Individual Totem emerged as one of Germanys most innovative industrial bands. But even their most hardcore fans are not aware of the first real Totem release: a cassette-only album called Mumia Vera. Now hopelessly out of print and all but forgotten, Mumia Vera represents the early stages of Individual Totem, a unique sound that is years ahead of its time, and the seeds of what would become one of the top industrial bands of the 90s. This Fall, Artoffact Records will re-issue a new version of Mumia Vera, completely remastered and re-tweaked from the original cassettes, and incorporating the original artwork. What is more, Mumia Vera will be released as a limited edition double CD, including the entire Flow EP (including the Fortress A remix, one of the best tracks ever recorded, period). The release will also feature previously unreleased live material, and the limited edition will come with two new Individual Totem pins. Released September 29th, 2009, exclusively from Artoffact Records.

Urceus Exit
Compensation For The Sound of Silence
$18
Call us ambitious. Of all the sophomore releases we have heard through the years, nothing comes close to what Urceus Exit has conjured on Compensation For the Sound of Silence. As a pop album, the release is unforgettable. For synthpop, it is miles ahead of what is on the market today. Lyrically and musically, frontman Richard Duggan has over-reached and extended the possibilities of electronic pop beyond anyones wildest expectations. Compensation for the Sound of Silence is an epic album that will turn heads with tracks like Drifting and The Worst that Weve Become. The listener is engaged and without a doubt every song is a sonic gem. In short, the album is brilliant and needs to be heard. Compensation for the Sound of Silence will be released as a 2CD limited edition, complete with alternate versions of every track on disc 2 that give the album a new freshness and a different spin. The limited edition comes in a beautifully designed ecopak double wallet and will include two limited edition pins. Released on Artoffact Records.

Disharmony
Evolution
$13
Under-rated, yet revered with undying admiration by the already initiated, this Slovakian duo has (un)quietly scorched the underground Electro-Industrial scene for many years, releasing several continuously morphing collections of work amongst the awe of fans and music critics alike. With a plethora of remixing and album credits to their name, dISHARMONY manage to speak volumes once again with their signature brand of down-tempo, yet hard-hitting electronica-tinged dark electro works, paying never mind to any looming trends, but instead constantly evolving beyond the typical genre clones and earn their right to the throne amongst a horde of imitators. With graceful progression towards the beautiful and harsh, dISHARMONY utilizes their unique mesh of dark, technoid beats and classic Industrial rhythms, matched perfectly with harsh vocals and addictive melodies, to arrive at a dark and complex new cavern of sonic stimulation. You may know dISHARMONYs critically-hailed last album Malignant Shields. You may know their prolific remix collection Cloned: The Other Side Of Evolution. You may know their recent collaborations with the likes of Flint Glass, Totakeke, Mnemonic, Stendeck, Fractional, Anhedonia, Zentriert ins Antlitz, and countless others. But be sure of this: you do not know Evolution Yet. Released on Tympanik.

Interface
Visions of a Modern Life
$12
New York's Interface combines elements of darker EBM, trance, and industrial, all with a melodic, emotional edge. Interface's fourth full-length album reflects yet another positive turn in its career. 13 songs of mature and introspective lyrics, lush synth textures, and club-ready beats make for the next evolution in the band's sound. Already previewed on its own EP, "Destination" appears at full length here, alongside more standout tracks like the hard-hitting "Body Flow" and "Modern Life", and slower works like "Pavilion". Guest musicians on the album include Dawn Mitchell (Missile Command) on "Voices (Echo)" and Rachel Feder on "Destination". The CD version of the album is "enhanced", in that when you place it into a CD-ROM drive you can access the entire album in MP3 format (including two bonus tracks) as well as a photo gallery. Released on Nilaihah!!
