Freedom Club

Coming up early 2023 is a new division of Enfant Terrible called Freedom Club. The focus will be on dark beats and rough sounds… and the format could surprise people who have been following ET for some time… as it will be small editions of cd’s and a digital release on bandcamp for this label…

The cd’s will be packaged in fitting artwork and printed by me of course… as always…

First up will be an EP (5 tracks) by Nihilist Sounds entitled “Ritual EP”… expect some hardcore techno with acid and industrial sounds to spice things up… At the same time there well be the “Twilight EP” (6 tracks) by Auva Duhr (new project by Neugeborene Nachtmusik) packed with (post-) rave sounds with references to elektro, idm and techno…

A preview of the artwork is posted on the ET homepage…

Almost there…

Summer is coming to and end… at least here at ET HQ… the records by Circle Bros and Taro have finally arrived and I am very very happy with how they sound… So next weeks I will finish all the work for these two… including applying stamps on the labels and numbering the artwork… Early September these two should be ready and out there…

A nice way to start up again after summer in my opinion…

Looking into the (near) future…

Here is a bit of news from ET HQ right before I am going offline for a few weeks….

The upcoming Vrystaete records by Circle Bros and Journey of Taro take longer as expected… delivery times at the pressing plant (and for that matter at all pressing plants) are becoming quite crazy… but this is beyond my control… so I have to deal with it… But just to give an idea… when I started ET in 2003 (first release in 2004) delivery times where 4 weeks… now it is 20+ weeks… Check that!

This also means I will be re-thinking my way fo working this summer… but I will continue to produce vinyl records in small editions for you music lovers, connaisseurs and collectors out there…

It also means that I sending the next two releases into production already… with about half a year waiting time there is no other way…

So… what to expect this winter? Two absolute great ambient records by IYv (also known as Skeldos) and Teahouse Radio (from Hypnagoga Press)… I am really excited about these records… I am working on the artwork now and these records will become very very nice… trust me on this one…

So… for now you can listen to full track previews of these at the ET Soundcloud page here…

See you on the other side!

Intergalactic FM streaming fest 2021

The Intergalactic FM festival was this year again an online / a streaming event… to bad as I have good memories when we played there live a very punchy dj set… I think 3 years ago already…

Anyway to be part of the online fest this past May and avoid a boring webcam on my face while playing record I teamed up with Miss Mónica from Mexico… a longtime supporter of Enfant Terrible… and she also ran the now defunct Mecanica record store in Mexico City for some years… where ET releases were sold…

She created a vj set for a dj set I did with images from ET videos from the archive… the result was a “trip” as somebody told me… many people told me how much they liked it during and after the festival… so for that reason Miss Mónica and I decided to put it online for on demand viewing… Be warned this is not for the faint of heart… this is a rough industrial minded dj set with lots of occult and ritual and dark images to accompany it…

It is available at two places now… the Intergalactic FM archive and also at Vimeo… and Live Eye TV published it with a nice write up to accompany it…  It is also below… enjoy!

Slow news…

Most of the time I forget to post any news here… this as most of it is posted at my Instagram page… but quiet a lot is happening… three new records are at the pressing plant: FOQL and 4Cantons (both Gooiland Elektro) and the  Ô Paradis & Nový Svět LP  (Vrystaete). Then there will be a special edition of the last 35 copies of the Hero Wouters LP. This in “Vrystaete style”…

After that I planned a LP by R A D K O (Enfant Terrible) and EP’s by Auva Duhr and Monocorpse (both Gooiland Elektro)… and also a Vrystaete record by Taro… and more Vrystaete releases are already imagined and planned…

Also today I started working on a new Gooiland Elektro compilation EP… more on that when the concept is ready and the artists confirmed…

As you might guess in these time… no parties and no concerts… there are plans for this but times need to be different to realise that in a responsible way…

So… hang in there… and furthur!
