Various Artists – Reality As A Stage Set

I decided to do a digital  (yes, digital!) release to bring some nice tunes to peoples homes … So this free digital and downloadable compilation was curated for this specific moment, during which COVID-19 goes around the world…

The compilation is called “Reality As A Stage Set”… it has a catalogue number and all and you can find it here…

I selected some (but not including all!) of my personal favourite tracks taken from vinyl records I released in the last few years on my labels… Several of the artists on this compilation have a bandcamp page where you can get the complete release the track featured here is taken from. Please support these artists if you can…

Out now + events for March

Out now are 4 new releases… among these the delayed Silver Age People (a project by Roberto Auser and myself)… next to that a new Vrystaete release by Dutch ambient duo interbellum… this one is almost sold out here at ET HQ… only 10 copies left… but the regular (web)shops have copies in stock now…

Also out now in the second album by Neugeborene Nachtmusik… a superb piece of post-indsutrial/post-techno… and last but not leat there is the debut by Leroy Se Meurt… delivering fierce elektro-punk which will appeal to fans of old school EBM and minimal electronics…

You can find full tracks of all these releases here…

This month there are quite some events coming up… all in Holland and one in Belgium…

15 March there is a small release party for the interbellum LP… they will perform live at that occassion.

Next to that there is an Enfant Terrible weekender at the end of March with R A D K O, Leroy Se Meurt and Celldöd live and some dj sets… see here for all dates and locations…

And… as we speak I am working on the next releases… among these will be the first one in a new series / on a new sublabel…

And… and… To kill time here is a guest mix and a small interview I did for The Brvtalist…

 

Roberto Auser for Phormix

Recently Roberto Auser was invited to do a mix / podcast for Phormix from Athens… before him I myself and Enfant Terrible related artists Ian Martin, Monocorpse and TWINS already did mixes for this great platform for dark/obscure electronic sounds for the dance floor and beyond…

Included in the mix by Roberto Auser are tracks from upcoming releases he has planned on various labels… it also includes two tracks he and I are working on for a new project who are doing together…

You can listen to the podcast below…

Dark ambient

Even though winter is over and spring is here I am still a bit in a dark ambient mood… this weekend is the Phobos Festival in Germany with Raison d’être vs Troum headlining the night… looking forward to that one!

To get (in) the mood you can find my mix I did for Radio Resistencia for the January episode below… it is all about ambient and dark ambient… happy dreams!

Out now: R A D K O, Bebe Fang, Monocorpse and The Untitled

Out now are the latest four releases on Enfant Terrible, Vrystaete and Gooiland Elektro.

On Gooiland Elektro Monocorpse and The Untitled have appeared. Monocorpse already with this third 12″ EP and The Untitled with his debut on Gooiland Elektro/Enfant Terrible. Of course The Untitled has released way more before on his own label and other labels… check out his harsh acid/techno music here…

Monocorpse delivers his finest (in my opinion) EP up till now… a strange mix of soundtrack and dance floor minded stuff… like always dark and moody… you can find all the infos and sound previews here… and check out a video for this record below…

R A D K O from Italo deliver their debut 7″ with two tracks which border new wave, cold wave, shoegaze and even indie music in some ways… there is a video below and all infos are to be found here…

On Vrystaete comes the Bebe Fang LP… a personal favourite of mine… a haunting mix of lo-fi, ambient, folklore, ritual and psychedelic music… something I would like to invite you to explore yourself… get a taste of it here…

M. for LYL Radio

Quite recently I did a special mix / recording for LYL Radio from France. This recording was broadcasted September 6th (2017)… and I posted the mix now also on my mixcloud page…

This dj set features released and unreleased music from my Vrystaete and Enfant Terrible labels… all rather soundscape and drone oriented and ambient kind of stuff… dreamscapes to sooth and scare you… you can start tripping by pushing play below…
