ULTRA SUNN – Beast In You LP [ARFA4701]

ULTRA SUNN, the Brussels-based EBM/coldwave duo, unleash their highly anticipated sophomore album, The Beast In You, on Artoffact Records. Building upon the success of their impactful debut, US, the new record promises to delve deeper into the raw, primal energies that define their signature sound. Drawing heavily from their Belgian heritage, The Beast In You is a potent distillation of classic electronic body music and the hypnotic rhythms of Belgian new beat. Listeners can expect the unmistakable throb of analog synths and precisely programmed industrial drum machines. ULTRA SUNN expertly channels the aggressive power and driving force of their influences, infusing them with their own contemporary edge.

VA – Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX [Eskimo]

Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX is the second compilation for Eskimo Recordings compiled and curated by Berlin-based Musician and DJ Luca Venezia, aka Curses, to explore the darker side of club music. Spread across 3CDs and three 2LPs Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX features a mammoth 49 tracks that join the dots between early industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle, EBM legends like Nitzer Ebb and the post-punk experiments of people like Malcolm McLaren and Big Audio Dynamite with some of the most exciting artists around today, such as Boy Harsher, Nuovo Testamento and Years of Denial. Where the first Next Wave Acid Punx compilation was a personal journey for Luca, a lockdown inspired exploration of his record collection to find the thread that ran through the music that had soundtracked much of his life, DEUX is a celebration of that music let loose on the world, the thrill of music performed live, the smoke and strobe filled clubs you’ll hear it in and the artists you’ll find on those stages.

Ombra Festival 2021 – Barcelona

Ombra is a project born from the hand of agency Ombra Agency and label Oraculo Records with the aim of creating a meeting place for lovers of analogue and avant-garde sounds that do not fit in the current cultural offer. The first edition was held in May 2018 in a club format, bringing together musical styles such as EBM, darkwave and industrial/experimental sounds.

In 2019 the festival took place in different areas of the city with industrial aesthetics. The idea is to combine heritage with music by creating a circuit in different spaces that can accommodate different offers. We’ve been at the festival in 2019 and definitely it was one of the best experiences for us.
